I was trying to do a “it’s not supposed to leak, that’s probably an STI” joke.
… leaked …
Well, there’s your problem.
Who do you think owns the real estate?
He’s using the “exclusive we.”
That’s … really bad.
Yeah, that’s about how that conversation went.
I had a dentist a while back tell me that the statistics for suicide among dentists are really high, but that they’re probably misleading. Because too many dentists fiddle with the oxygen safety on the nitrous feed, strap on a mask, lean back, pass out, die.

Euphoria is one of the symptoms of generalized hypoxia, and I would expect that this machine skips over many of the listed symptoms by rapidly decreasing oxygen.
How is this remotely Google’s responsibility?
That definitely plays a part, but there are other bits, too.
Old sealed beam lamps simply weren’t as bright as halogens or LEDs (or Xenons, for that brief moment in automotive lighting history). Sealed beams didn’t throw out as pure a white light, either, and they were more likely to become badly aimed. Sealed beam reflectors were all the same, no matter what car you put them on; automakers could adjust composite headlights to have whatever beam shape they wanted. All together, you could not see as far when using sealed beams in comparison to newer bulb technologies.
Back in the mid-1980s, when composite headlights were becoming more common on new cars, highway speeds were simply not as fast. Anecdotally, going 75MPH on the highways in and around Chicago was screaming fast in the 80s. Today, 75MPH on those same highways is slow. Modern cars are simply more capable of safely driving at high speeds, and part of that is because modern headlights are designed to throw whiter light farther. Headlights are brighter.
Throw some supermassive trucks and SUVs into the mix, where their OEM positioned headlights are higher off the ground, and many of them have big tires or lift kits making that even worse (and where exactly zero people who lift their vehicles also reaim the headlights) - if you’re in a compact or midsize sedan, well, fuck you.
And if you work from home, make your office machine always have QoS priority.
Sounds like typing on a keyboard made of Jujubes.
Headline makes it sound like, “Well, we’re going to have to eat elephants.”
… sometimes results in weird behaviors because evolution finds a solution you never thought of, or it finds a solution to a different problem to the one you were trying to get it to find a solution to.
Those outcomes seem especially beneficial.
But it takes ages, …
Is this process something that distributed computing could be leveraged for, akin to SETI@home?
Sorry for hitting you at a vulnerable time.
Again, completely pulled from my ass. Take with a boulder of salt.
You’re under arrest. That’s ass-salt.
That escalated quickly.
