  • That's why when they take air temperature samples they take multiple samples from multiple locations and they explicitly don't put them under trees, behind shade, unusually high up.

    If you're standing under a tree resulting in a lower air temperature that won't affect the weather prediction because the temperature isn't taken from your phone.

  • Suction cups count as specialist tools. They are tools explicitly for removing the screen of a smartphone.

    Commercially standard means things like screwdrivers that can be used for any number of circumstances. Also pretty much every single repair guide involves a hair dryer so I'm not sure what phone you're talking about.

  • If we slept 23 hours a day I don't think we would have developed to the level of technology that we're now at.

    We simply wouldn't have had enough time awake yet to achieve anything very much.

    Eventually an asteroid would hit or Yellowstone would erupt and we would have probably only got to the medieval age, and then we go extinct.

  • Exactly.

    The protest wasn't supposed to be about causing problems, it was supposed to be about making a point. That's what people who opposed the protests never understood. Including Reddit.

    They kept saying "oh it'll calm down and then everyone will come back to the site", well, it did calm down, but only because people decided they couldn't be bothered with them anymore. Since there were always other options, people went there. (God only knows why that didn't occur to the likes of Spez)

  • Also he is using it wrong because "sunsetting" means a slow winding down. You know, because the sun doesn't instantly turn off.

    But they basically literally just suddenly turned off gold today, without any pre warning.

    They have basically sent a message to everyone telling them they've already done it.

  • My cat likes to invert her spine into a kind of gel substance and then stick her face down the side of the bed between the wall.

    I am fairly sure that she is perfectly happy with having a whiskers compressed, what she's not happy about is having less food.

  • Cities, you just said keyword there cities, you can do it in cities because people want to live in cities. They don't want to live on the outskirts. Most of these offices are not in the city centre because the city centre is a really expensive place to have an office, only massive corporations are based there.

    The vast majority of office space is in low rent districts on the periphery of cities. Because no one lives there there's no shops, no leisure centres, no schools, no parks or other green spaces. You can't just convert every building into a housing unit without considering the surrounding environment.

    It would be infinitely cheaper to just build homes where you actually want them, than to try and convert a building that was never designed for the task.

    I know it's not trendy or hip or exciting to say that, but when you look at the economics it just doesn't make sense outside of some very limited circumstances.

  • Facebook messages being used to arrest women for abortions.

    That's a misrepresentation of what happened. The police already suspected her, and so they requested the information from Facebook. Facebook didn't voluntarily supply a bunch of data to the police for no reason, and then the police didn't comb through all the data to find this one crime that they otherwise didn't know about.

    What is being suggested with the automatic cars is that the police are actively monitoring the surveillance footage looking for criminal activity. They definitely won't be doing that. It's way to much like work.
