Daylight savings are great! 10% off in some stores.

Because it’s cool and will change fashion which has stagnated for the last decade(s)? I dunno man, why do people like dyeing their hair? Why do people paint their fingernails or put rings through skin?

Clothes and textiles are going to be the major use case. I’m already seeing a huge amount of backpacks and hard cloth patches with screens in it. This will make it the cloth doesn’t have to be hard and flow easily. This is very cool.

That’s okay. The best advertisers can already figure it out just by listing your comment history.

I’ve stated here and offline multiple times that the single best thing we could do for self driving would be to improve our signage to also have a wireless communication protocol. Teslas get distracted by the moon thinking it’s a yellow light all the time. There’s too much contextual information necessary and ML isn’t capable of properly knowing if a light is green for your lane and if it’s safe to drive, yet.
Put a wireless beacon on lights that indicate lane setup, light status, directions, etc. It wouldn’t be expensive, and it would save all the self driving developers a lot of efforts.

I’m going to be a bit /r/UnpopularOpinion here and state that age should be verified and exposed all over the place on the internet. Names, gender/associations, etc could all be hidden or anonymous and I’d be happy, but we should force every users on social media to disclose their age (or at least a few choices, like teenage, YA, etc).
My discussions here and on many other platforms would be way healthier if I knew I’m taking to a 12 year old or a 40 year old.
Edit: I was expecting the downvotes but if you guys wanna start a discussion instead I’d be much more appreciative.
