 "One of these blood pressure measures shows you an ad. You can’t skip it, and you are locked in by your arm." This might not be cyberpunk dystopia material to someone living before these things existed at all, since it's better than nothing, though galenanorth has issued a correction as of 13:35 on Dec 31, 2018 |

Today I learned that social media manager for pet is a job. Like an actual honest to god job with salary, benefits, paid time off, the works. That means if I ask my 4 year old son "what do you want to do when you grow up?", there's a litany of standard answers like doctor, police officer, fireman, astronaut, whatever. But now he can add "I want to post Instagram pictures for the Kardashian's dog and that's a legit answer.

The Nastier Nate posted:Today I learned that social media manager for pet is a job. There are so many strange jobs like this that exist only because we have a whale culture, and we're the plankton just hoping to catch a ride. Stuff like this has existed forever though. Like I met the guy who was in charge of Paul Allens vehicles, his entire job consisted of making sure that whenever Paul Allen was somewhere, his preferred vehicle was there, whether it be a yacht, jet or car. Most of the time he just spent traveling around the world and pretending to be a rich playboy, as that was preferred than people knowing whose vehicles he was driving for security reasons. No idea what the gently caress he's doing now, but maybe there is another billionare who needs that kind of service. Where you're so loving rich, you need someone to pretend it's your toys so the rich fucker has less security issues to worry about.

get a dog, set up a bunch of motion cameras in your house then pay a philipino man to review and edit down 1-2 good minutes of footage every day for an easy passive income

100 HOGS AGREE posted:every plane ive every been on boards front to back so everyone in the cheap seats gets to walk past all the people sitting in first class. Presumably they mean on international flights because even 2 class domestic doesn't have barriers anymore, just a mesh curtain if anything. On international flights usually you board through the 2nd door and people in business/first go left and everyone else goes right. There may be a business class section to go through to economy or there may not be. Also, strangely flights inbound to the US are (were?) required to enforce people from economy using the first class lavatories and vice versa. I have no idea how that became a thing, but that can be quite annoying both directions (ie there may be 1 first class lav and 2 economy lavs at the rear of first class)

Krankenstyle posted:you need your Instagram pet to have some kind of invalidatingly bad congenital deformation  This is the one that's worth millions of dollars and not only is it the ugliest dog I've ever seen in my life but little dogs are just the worst. If you're gonna get a dog that's less than 10 pounds just get a cat. Here's one of my dogs living like a hobo and she way cuter. (she has a scar under her eye, does that count as a deformation?)

In ways large and small, the city has had an early look at public misgivings over the rise of artificial intelligence, with city officials hearing complaints about everything from safety to possible job losses.

Our red light cameras are owned and operated by a 3rd party so they get the revenue from tickets (and nothing else) but the police department has full oversight so they have no real Incentive to rake in extra fees. Its an all right system unless your just a poo poo driver.

anti-self-driving is also probably bad (yeah let's all fling around three tons of kinetic death all day), it's just that self-driving is being used to ostracize labor and preserve the suburbs and exurbs, which are each awful but it's mostly nimbyism anyway

Food Boner posted:how much anti-selfdriving is this behavior and how much is it just nimbyism decide for yourself quote:In one of the more harrowing episodes, a man waved a .22-caliber revolver at a Waymo vehicle and the emergency backup driver at the wheel. He told the police that he “despises” driverless cars, referring to the killing of a female pedestrian in March in nearby Tempe by a self-driving Uber car. quote:His wife, Elizabeth, 35, admitted in an interview that her husband “finds it entertaining to brake hard” in front of the self-driving vans, and that she herself “may have forced them to pull over” so she could yell at them to get out of their neighborhood. The trouble started, the couple said, when their 10-year-old son was nearly hit by one of the vehicles while he was playing in a nearby cul-de-sac. quote:“Haselton said that his wife usually keeps the gun locked up in fear that he might shoot somebody,” Jacobs wrote in the report. “Haselton stated that he despises and hates those cars (Waymo) and said how Uber had killed someone.” quote:"Everybody hates Waymo drivers," Ferguson told The Arizona Republic. "They are dangerous." note that the NYT piece also leaves out some bits from the source article, such as the fact that Waymo doesn't let its drivers call the cops. if they feel endangered, they have to inform their dispatcher, who gets to decide whether or not to notify the police on the driver's behalf

My car spends 99% of its day in a parking spot in front of my house or office. Eventually cars could become a monthly service fee where you call one up on your phone and only rich fucks will actually own cars as vanity items (like owning a plane or boat). We could probably cut the number of cars we need to make on this planet in half at the very least.
