Isn't most of the point of computers driving us so they can react to things we can't? I dont know why that bit would be turned off... Seems seriously problematic. Secondly, that looks like a really bad place to be pushing your bike at night.

My thoughts exactly. I was hoping to find something more useful than the same benefits t I'd get from a free azure subscription.

Because it's borderline insanity. "I don't like your state's policy on x, so bye." Trying to bully entire governments is not cool.

You would have to add a right turn arrow for your logic to pan out.

It's also a problem with people not being smart enough to pass someone on a bike, which causes everyone in cars anger. I can't wait for cars to be not operated by humans. It will be safer for everyone.

I live in an area with very little pedestrian traffic. Getting rid of right on red would just make traffic worse and add confusion.

They can also delete media from your phone. Had a graphic video of that carnival ride breaking and killing someone and it was deleted...

Maybe you want to turn on airplane mode and put it in "airplane mode" for double-meassure security. Maybe you want a Faraday cage made with the finest craftmenship. Maybe you just want to ignore work and tell your boss that it wasn't possible because your phone had no signal and it wasn't your fault it had no signal (in case your employer keeps track of that sort of thing.)

I would have totally taken away admin and maxed UAC. "Why can't I install this Ralphy?" "Because it's a virus!" Personally, I like the choice of app stores and installing anything or installing a third party app store.

>It is clearly stated in GDPR that it should be as easy to opt-out as opt-in The opt-out being leaving the site. Fines to companies outside the EU are probably going to be fruitless.

http://moralmachine.mit.edu The general law is that people always have the right of way unless it's unavoidable. It's important that self driving cars do their best to not kill people and follow the law. Though, I don't think all these 'kinks' will be out for another 10 years.

I really dislike converting Python to a different language. What type is this? Go 5 libraries down to find out ;)

I sleep 6 hours during the week and 10 hours on the weekend. I pretty much only remember my dreams on the weekend. I wonder how much that relates to sleep deprivation. I only lucid dream if I sleep for 10 hours on vacation.

Cefsharp with the winforms host is good. I'm not sure how anyone can stand the wpf version though... No matter how simple I made the app, it was still noticibly laggy with it having to render in such the terrible way. I looked at chromely for a few minutes but the amalgamation of all those projects turned me off.
