  • Or is it yet another example of social decay, that parents can’t even discipline/raise their kids well enough to allow them outside without leashes?

    From what I've heard, the expectations of behavior for children in public spaces has gotten a lot more strict. People generally have very little patience for your kid's antics. Also fewer mothers are dedicated homemakers, and when time and energy are tight, a leash might be a good bandaid.

  • I had literally had my credit card out and ready in 2010 during the iPad announcement until I learned that it was a giant iPhone. Fifteen years later, and it's finally a real computer.

  • In an attempt to answer your question, there tends to be a lot of misinformation following events like this. Often footage doesn't even need to be AI or altered, it can just be footage from other events that looks similar that's posted in good faith by people trying to spread the news. I assure you some of the clips flying around at the moment are from the George Floyd protests, or even a sports hooligan riot, or from events that didn't even occur in this country.

    At least in theory (and theory is doing a lot of heavy lifting with my attempt at answering your question), a news publication has an obligation to in some way determine the veracity of what they're publishing.

  • eventually

    It's been ten fucking years. They are one of the top five companies in the world. What are we waiting for here?

    All of the investors that originally paid into the idea have already made their money. There is no reason to continue the project.

  • I think that's kind of the thing. They can't physically make the camera any smaller, but they assume you're going to make the phone thicker with a case. So it's a compromise based on customer preference.

  • Even as pitched, you still have to print out a QR code and staple it to your front lawn for every package. Presumably, they want you to be home for it since it's dropped out in the open and might bounce into the street.

  • Amazon announced using drones in 2014. In pop culture, drone delivery is like an assumed common practice. Yet fucking nobody gets their packages delivered by drone. It's been over a decade.

    These robots are vaporware. Amazon will get a stock bump and that's the whole point.

  • I wish the whole streak paradigm was time weighted. Like I got over a 1 year streak on my Apple watch over Covid. That's basically never going to happen again. I wish there was some kind of "this is your longest streak in the past

    <time period>

    " or something. It all just feels so all or nothing.
