I’ve had good results adding “also I’m a baby” to the end of all my requests for explanations

These events used to just be for developers and press but they've seemed to recognize that these events have become major marketing opportunities and will get clipped on social media ad nauseum so they started (over) polishing them

Looks like its battery powered, but I wonder if it's possible to create a pump that is powered by the rotational power of the wheel alone.

There are some photos of sketches at the bottom of the page. Looks like they started with curves and turned them into circles later

You missed the last and most funny one

>Driving a gyrobus has the added complexity that the flywheel acts as a gyroscope that will resist changes in orientation, for example when a bus tilts while making a turn, assuming that the flywheel has a horizontal rotation axis.

So you have a giant blender than can travel one mile in a straight line before needing to be recharged

Gated communities around me have 2 lanes, one with a sensor activated gate for residents and a guest lane next to the guard hut

If it's busy and you pull up in a nice enough car and just wait in front of the sensor gate looking annoyed, the guard will eventually just let you in

No medical condition has higher priority than getting out of a burning plane as fast as possible.

You may not survive a day without insulin, but the people behind you might not survive the next few seconds if they can't get out in time because you were fumbling with a bag

I think most people would rather have their car circle the block indefinitely, rather than pay for parking and wait for their car to summon, which would create so many new traffic problems.

I'm picturing herds of empty Model 3's endlessly circling every city's downtown office district

It's like up-badging a car. Most people won't care about it. Those who are knowledgeable about it will see through it. And those who actually do care about superficial things like that are probably not the kind of people whose respect should matter to you

The internet optimized away things like concierge services and travel agents by giving us the power to book reservations and plan trips on our own, without dealing with a cumbersome and expensive middleman.

Now with the power of AI we have added back in that middle man to countless more services!

> Will we see internationalized Chinese content dominating it?

TikTok does not exist in China, they have their own version -- Douyin -- that complies with their more stringent privacy laws.
