that's how you can tell the dot isn't taking this seriously, the first thing they would have done is test if you can actually drive or stop on loving glass

speaking of invasive advertising, the place we get our car washes figured out that you had a clear windshield and nothing to do at the end when you're under the drying fans and added in some tvs running advertisements there

I'd say we should bring back the guillotine for advertisers, but they'd just get excited by the opportunity for putting a sponsor's brand on the blade

do you think this thing actually works? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lynktec/flip-the-worlds-most-intuitive-smart-stylus?ref=home_popular tl;dr: it's yet another stylus for a tablet. this one's conceit is that it has better accuracy and automatic palm-rejection because it communicates with the tablet, but without using bluetooth or batteries or the inductive field of a wacom system. how does it do this? magnets there is a rare-earth magnet in the stylus, and it works with "sensors in the device" (presumably the compass) to "determine the precise location and orientation" of the stylus, then uses the capacitive system only for fine positioning so basically the compass points at the stylus and that lets the phone know where it is. it's at least theoretically possible but, well, the devil's always in the details what say ye

i saw a cool machine this summer that was resurfacing an entire lane of road in one shot more of a train of machines, really, about 100m long. first something that ground up the road surface, which dumped the asphalt into some kind of furnace boiler thing, which re-spread it on the ground, then graders and steamrollers, etc was going super slow, like maybe 1/4 mph, but pretty fuckin amazing. old road goes in one side, new road comes out the back

Sagebrush posted:i think my favorite part of the solar roads idea is that we've somehow solved every issue that is currently preventing us from blanketing the country with solar cells, somehow having the industry to manufacture billions of cells and feed it into the grid from hundreds or thousands of miles away, if you blanket a huge chunk of desert you're probably going to super gently caress with ecosystems and poo poo ya moron, that's why you just put them on buildings we already have, or to roof over things like parking lots which is common. to say nothing of possible transmission losses or problems with maintenence if it's one huge chunk out in nowhere those roofed other parking lots with solar panels are pretty great too just on their own.

anthonypants posted:The Anti-Surveillance Coat is constructed of different layers of metalliferous fabrics that works like the principle of the Faraday cage. This means that every in- and outgoing signal will be blocked, keeping you and your data safe from radiation. It covers your complete body and falls all the way down to your legs. The design comes with a hood that allows you to be completely covered. Let's not forget that a very important part of the design is the black pocket at the front of the coat. We believe in well-regulated forms of technological progression. This means that you have to be reachable whenever and wherever you want to. The black pocket gives you this option. and the feet holes

if you're interested in it, you can check out any of the work coming from the MIT media lab on social defense mechanisms, particularly the work that limor fried (ladyada of Adafruit) did while she was there. things like electrochromic sunglasses that auto-detect the sync pulse of a television and darken while you're looking at it, to prevent you from seeing it. or ipod-sized (absolutely illegal) broad-spectrum jammers to disable all cell phone connectivity in a bubble around you, for quiet. i think even the tv-b-gone was another early project from that group.

it wouldn't work for trying to bypass cameras that were actively being monitored. they'd see the giant white blob and stop you. this would be for passively walking by cameras in public
