My biggest complaint is that the ending of season 1 really just came across as disrespectful to viewers, particularly in light of how long it was between seasons.

Maybe this coloured my opinion of it, but I watched them back-to-back. I didn’t experience that feeling of being disrespected by the wait. I just heard it was good, and watched what was available.

For the first season I felt like it was a really interesting concept, and I was excited to see how it developed. The second season just seemed like it’d lost its way to me, and they were drawing it out.

Meh. The first season was good, but I feel like it pretty much could’ve ended there. The second one felt kind of drawn out and dull to me.

Thanks to Concorde, Phil Collins was able to play at both the London and Philadelphia Live Aid concerts. He Played in London, got a helicopter to Heathrow, Concorde to NY and then another helicopter to Philadelphia.

Entirely possible, but then we’re also talking in a thread about a subject that apparently 99% of humans don’t know about either.

Why be representative when you can be exceptional? :)

It’s easy on a Mac — option-shift-hyphen.

I use them all the time — unlike in the article I surround them with spaces though, so I guess at least that makes me human, even if wrong.

While normally I’d agree with you, this is custard we’re talking about here.

I’m willing to give it a go, myself.

Bear in mind that these are British Conservatives, who are aligned more toward the US Democratic Party than what an American would consider “conservative”. They also have a black leader.

You should be able to opt-out thought, right? Just deny it access at the OS level.

iOS doesn’t seem to be asking me for any permissions FWIW.

Calm down. They never said anything about the two things happening on the same device.

That’s because Cody is short for Come On Die Young.

I get what you’re saying — so it’s about the subconscious awareness of the state change that happens after the driver decided to go, but before the car starts moving. I can see some amount of value in that.

I still can’t help but think it’s going to be interpreted by many as a sign that it’s safe to proceed and ignore the car rather than be prepared for any eventuality, though.

But isn’t that exactly the situation we’re in now? If there’s a car in the opposing left turn lane, they might start to turn in front of you.

The only thing the light does is say “right now, they’re braking”. It doesn’t say whether they’re moving or stationary any more than the headlights, and it doesn’t say anything about their intentions or whether it’s safe to enter the intersection.

Yeah, the only thing I could think of is that I’m driving down a country road, and I see the front brake light ahead of me because someone stopped for a deer in the road or something.

Otherwise I cannot fathom what benefit it brings. Anything that ultimately becomes “if you see this light, it’s safe to [X] in front of this vehicle” is going to get people killed.

And the negative state of “the lack of this light means that the vehicle could be moving” is exactly what we have now.

I don’t understand this at all. Why do I, as a person in front of a vehicle, care whether or not it’s braking?

Thanks for the explanation. Ironically this was the bit I didn’t know:

In modern times, USB keyboards are periodically actively polled instead.

I was thinking the implication was that some computer had faulty interrupt handling that would smash the status register or something.

Honestly I think I’m just too old to understand memes.

I feel like I should understand this, but I don’t.
