Okay but where? On balance there are not a lot of those comments and they’re downvoted through the floor. The complaints make it sound like they’re alone in a sea of angry men.

i see more complaints about misogyny in the comments here than actual misogyny. Which is good, I’m just wondering what I missed

I had to take the gen ed pregnancy test and I still failed.

Because those companies can fight back, and besides, they went to college with the guys running them.

A Texas donut is an apartment building that wraps around an attached parking structure. I’ve seen a few different variations but the nicer ones have courtyards between the units and the parking garage that I imagine is more to allow cross breeze than anything else because being inside them would be incredibly claustrophobic. Still a huge waste of space but if you really want your residents to all have cars they kind of make sense because the parking footprint is more or less the same as you would get as if you built a low rise, plus you hide the cars from the street view, which is nice because parking garages are usually pretty ugly. You can also bury the cars instead and that works way better for somewhere like downtown Seattle, since real estate is just so mind bogglingly expensive in downtown areas of major cities, but honestly if you’re living in the city it seems like storing the car offsite would make more sense if you really feel like you have to have one that badly because underground parking is also ridiculously expensive compared to above ground parking structures, plus you have to worry about water ingress and degraded pilings and all sorts of nasty shit. That actually happened in Florida and it took the building with it when it went. Then again that’s Florida, it might work better when you’re not building a high rise on a sponge.

I want a 200hp 4x4 with sealed beam headlights.

Would honestly love to live in a building or neighborhood that maintains a fleet of cars to share. I can’t afford to operate a truck/van as a daily driver (and I honestly hate driving them), but I often find myself wishing I had a large vehicle to move stuff around in.

It’s getting difficult to care about hardware I’ll never actually see.

Surface lots are far worse than parking structures. You can put retail at street level with parking structures. You can do a Texas donut, which is still not ideal but is way denser and prettier than surface lots. Surface parking is cheap. That’s the only advantage it has. And when you factor in the opportunity cost of building nothing but parking on prime real estate it’s not actually all that cheap.

I did read the article. I think having the contact display plus the external unit might prove to be more elegant in implementation than a purpose-built integrated HUD. It doesn’t have to be magic tech to compete with reflecting a small LCD off a visor, which takes up space and probably won’t work for e.g. underwater welding.

If you want to integrate a HUD into a visor you have to figure out a way to make it appear to be farther away than it actually is. With this it looks like those optics could be integrated into the contact lens itself. This actually looks to me like the makings of a fairly robust solution, one that won’t require tearing apart existing equipment when something goes wrong with it.

Something like this would totally make sense for personal displays in extreme environments. I do not like where this is going though

Flock right now advertises that they can track vehicles by bumper stickers and cosmetic damage.

it does look very retrofuture though I’ll give you that. I think I’m just glad it’s not a UTV with shit glued on the side like some of the other passenger quadcopters I’ve seen

Can they make it look MORE like a 1950s movie version of a UFO?

You can be upset at more than one thing at a time. I believe in you.

yeah, standing up for your right to privacy makes you a criminal now. You got it chief.
