Would it be possible for someone to make some "night-time driving glasses" that are shutter LCD-type (3d TV glasses) and which synchronize to the duty cycle of any bright LED lights in the FOV and minimize the…
This is tangentially Rivian related, but does anyone else see the inherent danger of stylized tail lights that are just a single red bar across the back of the car? Travelling on the freeway at night I can't really…
One of the cool things I saw on BBSes back in the day - that I have yet to see replicated - was 'real time chat' in telechat, or being able to see what the other person is typing out as they enter it on their keyboard.…
How long do we need to wait until whatever patent encumberance that's keeping e-ink displays at these ridiculous prices expires and we can start to see affordable e-ink displays?
There's one thing about this I don't see brought up - if someone says "add me, I'm janitor#0832" people usually know they're talking about Discord since that format is ubiquitous, and that's a very valuable thing.…
I think a 3D version of scrabble would be fun, where you build the words using cubes in 3 dimensions instead of two. You could probably even do it non-digitally if you had magnetic cubes
font-size: [fit-width|fit-height|fit-container]; would be nice
I'd say they should avoid bloating CSS, keep Sass style and just use type='text/sass' or type='text/css-nested' in the style tag, but it seems that attribute is depreciated... why is that?
Not an expert on this, but I get the feeling they're trying to dissuade people from discovering videos with lower view counts in search results, since these videos are less likely to be cached at the CDN nodes and are…
"Groceries are 8% higher than last year. Dollar stores: now dollar-and-a-quarter stores." - so, is it 8% or 25% ?
Newer microwaves don't use bulky HV transformers + voltage doublers for the magnetron anymore and instead use high frequency power supplies + step up transformers, and are noticably lighter
Pretty fascinating stuff, seems like it's time to implement some quantum CAPTCHAs
Firefox, like most modern software, is suffering from Winchester house syndrome. Hiring full-time UX designers and making them perpetually justify their salary will eventually turn any software into an unusable,…
The problem I have with touch screens in cars is lining up your finger so that it presses the right area of the screen, which is difficult when driving (and dangerous). Why can't they integrate some sort of capacitive…
If they were going to change anything, it would be likely to get rid of both the penny and nickel and use 1 decimal place for prices; the current US nickel already has a melt price/ face value of 124% currently…
what is up with those weird recipes in the third section? That's not vanilla
Is that reported-to-insurance billions of dollars or actual billions of dollars?
Humanoid robots won't be feasible while we're still tethered to existing Li-ion battery technology. The two advancements in robotics in recent years, Boston Dynamics' Atlas and Spot, have battery lives of 60 minutes and…
If I were to play devil's advocate: Barring alchemy, I don't believe we've ever had a period of exceptional technological supremacy in the history of mankind that subsequently reverted so completely. In the span of 50…
pragmatically, the mandatory vaccinations seem to be predicated on the following assumptions: 1. Asymptomatic transmission is the primary vector and just as dangerous as being in proximity to a sick individual - has…
I don't know if it's just me, but the increased height of these large cars greatly increases their headlight glare and causes me to feel less safe around them at night. If one is directly behind me, it's usually…
Why not bring back the Automat to take the increasingly-rude public out of the equation?
AFAIK the free speech that the United States enshrines applies to public venues, e.g. the street corner, radio waves, etc. As the current venue has shifted from public streets to private social media, the government…
Nationalize it and get taxpayer money
Is this a uniquely US issue, and if so, why? Other countries have enacted similar lockdowns, wouldn't a coin shortage show up elsewhere given similar circumstances?
