i guess i also accept that some people don't know how to swim or are put into some scenario where they are swallowing / inhaling a mix of water and air. You can go quite some time without any air before you black out so that would likely be , if not painful, really terrifying.

still, as someone who has both inhaled some water from time to time, and someone who has been burned form time to time, it seems that inhaling water is really far removed from burning on the gradient of most painful ways to die. Being slowly digested over a thousand years in the belly of a sarlac is probably between them.

painful? i haven't heard that. I do some free diving and have a respectable ~2ish minute breath hold under water. I personally have never experienced shallow water blackout, but i know people who have. it doesn't sound like they ever were in pain. they just blacked out, had someone not rescued them they would have drowned, but the last thing they remembered was peacefully swimming under water. maybe i'm not drowning right.

on topic, i'd chose drinking the helmet water over drowning too.

I live in washington, DC and it's sort of like that. The previously bad areas are all getting gentrified (and way more expensive), and the blight is being forced out into the cheaper subburbs in MD and VA.

This!

The tesla is probably not taking leaf customers away. it's not really in the same class. However, if you compare the cars to other cars in their price range, you see the difference. The model s has all the bells and whistles you'd expect form an $80k sport sedan. It's a damn fine looking car compared to the bmws and lexuses out there. the leaf looks like one of the ugliest cheapo hatchbacks out there, but it costs twice as much as any of those. (the volt suffers from the same thing if you ask me)

I don't think they rediscovered it. More likely someone is aware of it from fly fishing and they just decided to rigorously test it, and then take credit for discovering it. It's just good science.

One of my coworkers has one. Honestly, i think it sucks. The resolution is abysmal, and I found the screen impossible to focus on. It promises to provide super fast access to vital information, but in the use case of looking up a stock quote or reading a text message or using a map, i found it far easier to just look at my phone.

to even make out the screen. i had to adjust it constantly. it would always slip on my face so everytime i needed to look at the screen that meant more fiddling with my hands. for something that's supposed to be hands free, it sure did occupy my hands a lot. Then the crummy resolution results in a hard to see result.

if you think you are going to get useful navigation information while you bike or drive, like google implies, thing again. if you think you are going to suddenly exhibit superhuman cognitive abilities as the whole of the web flashes before your eyes and your friends marvel at your ability to recognize everyone and everything, think again. if you think you will look like you are paying attention while secretly watching something in glass, you won't you look like a catatonic idiot.

However, it's not like it holds no promise. this kind of thing is probably the future. And i want a cool wearable hud in the future so i'd honestly like you to buy this piece of crap now and help fix it.

hard to find games to watch in dota2? maybe you never clicked the watch button right there on the title screen.

I don't know what the 500 lines of java code are, but i guess they are grabbing input and cleaning it and opening database connections and whatnot. assuming that he's counting import statements and puts curly brackets on their own lines. sure 500 lines.

I don't know much about this Reactive stuff, but i don't see anything in this sample code that tells me where the input is coming from or where it is going to or if it's being cleaned in the process. Somehow Reactive also creates an environment in which nothing unexpected ever gets entered?

many people in my line of work have decided to use a DateTime value as a primary key in a database. i always see the jr programmers doing this. i'm guilty of it myself. you think, "it's impossible that two users will create records at the exact same nanosecond." You quickly learn how probable improbable things are.

just explaining it to the jr programmers never seems to be enough. they never really appreciate it until they actually screw something up.

unless the point of the simulation is to see how long it takes simulated life to discover it's in a simulation. you want to win the game don't you?

or wait. do they shut it down then? yeah? We never discussed this.

Well, a blender doesn't carry out simulations, so i don't think that really applies. The tools we use to make crude simulations of the universe are called computers so it's just easier to use the word. As to the nature of the computer, that would be a different experiment. The first question is does our universe display the same failings of the simulations that we are able to make.

It could be a really crummy computer though. It could take ages to update one tick of the universe. it could get paused from time to time . Being part of the simulation, we wouldn't perceive that.

or try up up down down left right left right b a start.

yeah. she writes as though she has the impression that the guy was so altruistic returning her glass. Really, he probably saw it belonged to some cute chick and probably thought he might get some action for helping her.

kleenex probably didn't sound like something you want to put on your face at first either. coke doesn't sound appetizing at all. google is a typo.

If a product is good enough, people will see the name as defining the industry rather than anything else. Unless your name is Gimp. That's never going to work.

My hypothesis is it allows the provider to inflate the number of tv viewers they have and therefore charge more for advertising.
