Oh, it goes so much further down than that.

Those two example pictures aren't imaged in the same spectrum, I think.

Well, on the other hand you hopefully have a deeper appreciation of all the assumptions and approximations that make up the implementation of boolean logic underlying our computers.

Throw in a couple of gotchas and no-nos and see how the subject responds!

Where do the normal cars park?

Except in the real world where said metrics wouldn't integrate meaningfully with the dozens of other devices that collect similar "useful" data into their own proprietary little gardens of infrastructure.

Obsolesence and device defects - I can imagine a saddle has a useful life of a couple of decades.

What are you really going to measure here beyond GPS and accelerometer data? The temperature and humidity of the saddle/horse interface? The strain and weight on the saddle? That'll allow you to report useful stuff like "your horse is tired and about to overheat", "you are to fat ride this horse", and the ever popular "this saddle is the wrong size for current horse/rider combo, please contact a sales representative". All the while taking in the views through the new and improved augmented reality interface on your smartphone, or hmd.

I mean why even have a horse at that point, it seems if you don't want to pick up on the communication from the live animal your riding, why not get a mud-bike.

Yup. And we've already been tagging locations with adresses for years through that captcha.

All it would take is a button that says NO!

More useful is perhaps a function to "cut" the proposed route. I cannot pass this point kind of deal.

shim also works

This seems to result in every plane leaving either empty or delayed.

Realistically it would have to be done with an interval of boarding. Whether this interval is known to the passengers or not I don't think matter.

So boarding is between 10:00 and 10:30. The first passenger to arrive after boarding starts will be the first to board, since they would be at the end of the line at that time. And so would the next one, and so on.

But Watt * second IS energy.

I suppose "resistive" in this context relates to the method used to read the memory, not so much how this change of resistance is implemented.

Hey, I'm then-you now-me :) What is DSPS?

Sure, it's unfortunate if nobody answers the phone, or is not there to open a franchised store etc.

I just don't buy into the whole 11 workers do 10% more work than 10, or that 8 hours is more productive than 7.5. In any business that is, not just "brain work". Far-east sweat shop exempt.

What the hell is this obsessing over 10 minutes?
