I live out in the sticks so don't have street view. If I were to want something blurred, it would be the satellite view, not because I care about other people scoping my place, but only so the county building dept. couldn't watch all of my unauthorized building projects develop.
...without installing an extension: It usually requires only one extra click (which I agree is one too many):
Click the "..." next to the search result; the source link in "about this result" doesn't have all the extra Google goodness added.
Won't be a problem; as long as you use their search engine, their products will appear before any other uses of the words...
--unless the NSA *wants* him to support a specific vendor.
Linux kernel: "Wild west" open-source that the NSA has little control over. "Rotten security."
ChromeOS: Controlled by a single vendor who the NSA can convince to take that kernel and add their "secret sauce" to the platform. "Use this one!"
I'm not accusing anyone; just suggesting that it's not infinitely less plausible than the "he's an idiot" hypothesis.
...than to show up in-person and prove it!
> the patent is still being processed so we "shouldn't expect this tech to be featured in games any time soon."
Huh? What do those two things have to do with each other?
You file a patent ASAP, but you certainly don't wait months to years for it to be approved before implementing an idea!
If you want to warn would-be copycats away, you note that the patent is pending, and if they choose to copy you anyway, then once the patent's approved, you sue. You already made your idea public by filing the patent, so I see no benefit from pausing development.
Their biggest concern isn't in having livable land; it's keeping the rights to that lucrative
Is he just a nut, or is there something in it for him? Will we find out later that he already has a sizable investment in cryptocurrencies, which he adds to in the next few months, and it grows until he largely cashes out before the bubble pops?

Mine must've been too old; I tried your suggestion, but there wasn't any meat underneath.
Yup, that's exactly the complaint we'll be hearing next. Already happened w/ AirBnB. You can't have if fully both ways; If people are allowed to avoid things that scare them and favor less scary things, they're by definition discriminating against the scary things! The best you can do is try for a reasonable compromise.
Yes, this! Not everyone *can* stream at acceptable quality, and it sorta destroys the viewing experience when it pauses, pixelates, etc.
There are several reasons that I use youtube-dl, ordered by increasing importance (or at least frequency of importance):
- Watch even if they yank it
- Easily find the video later
- Watch when I have *no* Internet connection
- See just the video, no distracting garbage
- Save bandwidth by not re-downloading for each view
- Watch full quality, and without glitches
This caching doesn't address the first 4 -- and YT will never want to fix 3 of them -- but it does attempt to solve the last 2 (if it actually lets you choose your quality), which are the most important to me and the main reason that I use a downloaded in the first place. (Also why my VERY non-technical daughter has a desktop shortcut to a custom script that uses yt-download.)
I can't believe it took them so long to come up w/ this; it seems like a no brainer: greatly extend your product's reach and usability, and lose virtually nothing!
(Overall bandwidth's kind of a wash; it only saves bytes if you re-watch on the same machine/browser, and people will download higher-resolution versions than would have been streamed real-time, costing more bandwidth.)
Black! Once your house hits 160F inside with a window or two open, the relative humidity will be way down.
For washing machines, Speed Queen (AFAIK) still produces one or more mechanical models. We run a LOT of heavy duty (big, dirty) loads, and a few years ago, I got tired of replacing washing machines that wore out, was disappointed with what I'd experienced with half a dozen new models of various designed, and finally bit the bullet. They're not cheap (they know they can charge more for the brand since virtually nobody else makes them like that anymore and sells to consumers) but I've been quite happy; it's paid for itself compared to other machines and hasn't needed a repair yet. It has a "Normal/Eco" cycle on it that exists to help the machine pass energy/water use regulations but isn't expected to really clean -- good for lightly-soiled delicates. It may not be the most efficient machine in the world, but it's more effective than anything else I've tried in recent years.
That's a good idea; forks very seldom collect data, only food. Then again, they're also not very good at editing audio.
Wait until they find that the attack was executed from IP addresses assigned to Blitz (gas can manufacturer).
