If you're ever in DC, you should check out the ads in the metro stops near the Pentagon. Seeing those kinds of ads in real life is even more shocking.

Line scan cameras operate on this principle, and are still used in various ways to this days. I'm especially partial to the surreal photos generated by them at the end of cycling races

You may consider it FUD, but that was 100% my reality. It's not about people only being friends with you because you have a phone, it's about the shared cultural experience that a group of kids have because of some media they have access to via the phone.

In my case (graduating high school in 2016), I wasn't allowed to watch TV, listen to the radio, play video games, or use the computer at all until I left for college. And especially as an adolescent, those were basically the cornerstone of all conversations between my peers. I never knew what anyone was talking about, and could never really bond with anyone over really anything but sports. And when smart phones became a popular thing in my age group, again I had no access to that or any of the media that it led to.

I will say though, as alienating as it was at the time, I don't particularly regret it because most of what I missed probably wasn't super important, and I think I gained an accurately cynical view on the content media machine as a whole. But I absolute rue the massive difficulties I had building social connections because of it that continue to this day.

I don't know if it can be considered "inventing" when the article itself states

> it’s pioneering the use of an aerospace industry technique known as Automated Rapid Tape Carbon

getyarn.io is the clip site I've seen. https://nestflix.fun/ is for movies within movies, not sure if that's what you're referring to by subplots thought.

> You can do this by holding your finger substantially in front of the image, and focusing solely on the finger with your eyes, while turning your mind’s attention to the image behind it while keeping your eyes still.

This tip in the article helped me a lot, it's much easier to cross your eyes further with something to actually focus on

I've thought about this and probably should, especially since my parents got divorced recently. But I haven't really thought of a way to bring it up tactfully without being patronizing. Any ideas?

My Ukrainian roommate taught me Durak, it's a good complement to ERS if the people you're with aren't as slap-happy as that game require.

I would consider extendibility a capability, whether you consider that worth the price difference is up to you.

I think in terms of natural beauty, it's definitely in the upper half. Specifically Ouachita National Forest in my opinion.

I don't understand why this is being pursued when there's already duty limits for how long drivers can be on the road anyway. Surely the money would be better spent on chargers at truck stops, no?

The YotaPhone did something similar back in 2012, I'm surprised it took this long for someone else to try it again. IIRC they had oodles of crowdfunding support but fumbled the logistics side of things.

They provide .stl files for you to 3d print your own enclosure, or presumably order form a third party printer. I assume this shell is specifically for those who are concerned with appearance and/or fire resistance (PLA is pretty flammable.)

Not currently, but it is definitely something I worry about for the future. I'm pretty adamant in my support for (relative) peace and quiet in public spaces, but recently those around me have seemed to care less and less, which worries me.

For the time being, just living close to a small airport should do.

I would gladly take a wind turbine by my house, especially if it meant drones were restricted from flying near it.

What does the "solved" state of this data look like? I understand this is just a metric, and the goal isn't necessarily to hit a specific number, but my ignorant assumption would be that the percentages should roughly align with the broader population's demographics, no?
