  • This App Warns You if Someone Is Wearing Smart Glasses Nearby - 404media

  • See, I don't really want full AR. I want a HUD, a very small number of rudimentary AR features, like floating windows for text documents or videos, physical buttons on the arms of the glasses, small drivers by the ears for audio, and battery life that will last most of the day. I already have to wear glasses and if I'm paying more for extra features I want ones that will last the whole time I might want them, not just the six or so hours a day that the current offerings have.

  • Drop the cameras and microphones and replace them with a couple accelerometers and gyros. Paired with your phone's GPS tracking, the glasses can tell where you're looking without actually seeing anything. You can get handy features like a floating 'turn here' sign over your exit while driving with GPS navigation without recording anyone or anything at any time. Better battery life, too.

  • I feel like there's a 90% chance that specific boss fight exists in a JRPG already, and a 75% chance it was published by Square Enix.

  • Falconry glove. Basically a big leather glove so that a bird of prey can sit on your hand without destroying your hand.

  • I'm guessing a translation is something like, "We have absolutely no idea how we might argue this is okay in defiance of literally every court decision on this in history, so we're just going to hope they don't escalate."

  • On Ubuntu's old Unity DE that top panel housed app menus and merged with maximized windows. And you could tap a button to search those menus. I wish they would reimplement those features.

  • Well, sometimes they denote different people. They also sometimes represent recurring characters.

    Beret Guy, Black Hat, and Danish are the same character each time.

    At the other end of the spectrum, Ponytail and White Hat are just whoever the comic needs at the time. Sometimes they show signs they're a recurring character, but usually probably just a one-off.

    In the middle of the spectrum are Cueball and Megan. These are the generic male and female designs and the most frequently seen. They're usually probably just one-offs, but both have two distinct recurring roles as well. The first is Cueball as an unnamed male character and Megan as Megan, with the two of them being a couple. The second is Cueball as the comic's author and Megan as his wife, with this being most apparent in the cancer strips.

  • I would go with an old money family rather than yakuza. The yakuza, and organized crime families in general, like to keep their community help programs out in the open so the locals don't feel inclined to help the police against them. For example, the yakuza have a history of disaster relief and Al Capone ran a soup kitchen.

  • Ferengi were modeled on rodents, so it's kind of the other way around.

    Edit: I do know bats aren't actually rodents, but they do tend to get lumped together and have similar head shapes.

  • Republican Joins With Dems on Constitutional Amendment to Give Congress Power to Reject Trump Pardons

    Jump

  • Ultimately, the rules work fine for what they were intended to do, which is prevent one branch of government from becoming much more powerful than the other two. However, they don't work well against an entity like the Republican Party, which deliberately subverts multiple branches simultaneously. The rules against executive power have also been weakened over time due to congress ceding power to the president, something the founders hadn't anticipated. They were prepared for greedy bastards that wanted to hoard power, but people giving power away to reduce their own responsibilities or achieve partisan goals was something they hadn't even heard of.

  • Oh, I know how that one happened. A rooster is also called a cock, though we don't much use that word anymore, for obvious reasons. Probably didn't know the word and checked Google Translate or something similar.
