It’s not an “if” detector, it’s a “how much” detector. It looks like it’s using the LED chamber to light the film in a consistent way, and then the phone camera measures the color change to quantify how much radiation it was exposed to.

Aren’t we?

That’s what you’d call a negligent discharge, not accidental. The first time I saw the video of the thug taking Alex’s gun, I immediately noticed and said, “Why the hell is his finger on the trigger?”

There is a concept taught to anyone handling firearms professionally: you DO NOT put your finger on the trigger until you are ready to fire.

One aspect to consider is exactly what data these devices are exfiltrating from your network. You usually can’t see the contents of the telemetry sent, but given that a LOT of smart devices have cameras and/or microphones, do you really trust that your IoT devices are not sending back audio and or video recordings of the inside of your house?

That’s an interesting point, and leads to a reasonable argument that if an AI is trained on a given open source codebase, developers should have free access to use that AI to improve said codebase. I wonder whether future license models might include such clauses.

I mean, billionaires.

I don’t know if poopreport still exists, but if you’re really interested in creative words for shit, that site is/was an absolute gold mine.

“It’s called colorized hyperspectral X-ray imaging with multi-metal targets, or CHXI MMT for short,” said project lead Edward Jimenez, an optical engineer

This guy isn’t allowed to name things anymore.

I’ve always read “don’t let your out or they will commit ethnic cleansing on your neighborhood fauna” as similar to “treat all firearms as if they are loaded”. While it is obviously situational (some cats don’t hunt/hunt well, obviously some guns aren’t loaded), the consequences of getting it wrong are pretty bad.

That’s assuming that an oncoming car wouldn’t swerve at all if a cyclist entered their path. Dangerous or unpredictable behavior by anyone on a road puts everyone in the area at risk.

There’s always the Jewel Cooler:

I mean, it is 100% discrimination against people who are too old to do the job, yes.

I hadn’t clicked the link yet, but Concrete Donkey told me what it was immediately

15 square meters isn’t the same as 15m×15m, it’d be a little smaller than 4m×4m. Still a big hole.

Jury nullification only helps if you get an actual jury.

Just a rock or a knife, if you wear the animal down enough. You’re probably not biting through the hide though.

More like homicidally stupid.

The ‘S’ in IOT stands for Secure

For those wondering, this played out well! OP found someone to take the job. His wife bit on the prank gleefully, was actually thrilled by the idea that OP had a son he didn’t know about. When the prank was revealed, she thought it was hilarious. Ultimately pretty wholesome, OP married a keeper.
