- Comment on Google Keeps Making Smartphones Worse 5 days ago:
Can I get a rundown of the few non-flagship phonemakers that are currently out there? I have heard of The Nothing Phone. Are there more companies that put together Androids to operate within the US?
- Comment on Time travel doesn't work unless you also have teleportation. If you travel to the past/future, Earth will be in a different position in its orbit, and you'll die in space. 2 weeks ago:
A wormhole type time machine would leave the travel points A and B physically independent of each other. This opens up the option to change destinations… step in at New York, exit in San Francisco.
- Comment on UCLA team finds high levels of dangerous air particles(PM2.5) in air near electric vehicle fast charging stations. 2 weeks ago:
They’re not separating data throughly. Researcher Yifang Zhu, over many publishings, mainly gathers and publishes raw findings. Such as… (summarizing) “Children are at risk due to immature respiratory systems and faster breathing rates… by traveling in diesel powered school buses in my South Texas study.”

A research participant, Yifang Zhu, is tied to a thing called Mobility Justice Frameworks. It’s pushing for greenspaces in urban areas, including making existing infrastructures appear in a bad light for its cause(s).

My best guess. Create media for campaigns for lawmakers to push for more greenspaces in urban areas.

- Comment on Malaysia will stop accepting U.S. plastic waste, creating a dilemma for California 3 weeks ago:
Well known for several years now California (collected and non-collected) scrap plastic is negatively recycling. No dilemma. Just quietly goes into the incinerators.
There was a blogger that experimented with 100 gps trackable AirTags affixed to recyclables… all plastics (eventually) ended at landfill sites.

- Comment on Amazon is reportedly training humanoid robots to deliver packages 1 month ago:
I imagine they will scale back robot design and just throw from the truck.
- Comment on I feel like modelling is one of þe saddest jobs 1 month ago:
What is the name of that character symbol?
It looks like the Star Trek TNG episode “Masks” symbol that Data (as an old man sitting by a fire called it “masaka’s temple”…
A line, as the unending horizon. A curve as the rolling hillside. A point as a distant bird. A ray as the rising sun. - Comment on The chocolate cake featured in the 1996 film *Matilda* is the canonical chocolate cake for all 90's kids. 1 month ago:
The popsicle.
- Comment on Google's AI now listens to your English language phone conversations 2 months ago:
They said it’s rolling out in beta. Spam Protection is already in the Messages app. Scam Protection is coming soon. But to listen to telephone audio that means they want to add it into the native dialer\phone app. Google has a dialer app named “Phone” with a Spam filter feature currently.
I assume that’s what is coming – a.i. into the dialer\phone app.
- Comment on Mapped projections have been a thing for a while now, but why aren't people mounting projectors and dancing carefully choreographed moves to match a projection on their bodies? 2 months ago:
In 2018 a tv commercial premiered this projector mapping tech during a Superbowl commercial for Ponds cold cream…

Similar to cellphone a-gps with a supplemental unified NLP (network location provider), but beefed-up on a large-scale. This should provide more emitter sources, whitelisting and blacklisting, and dedicated software to help discover bad or rogue emitters.
I’m going off the graphic guessing the “detectors” continuous scanning contributes into a database that users will then subscribe on to; instead of the cellphone makeing the self-processing decisions in NLP software.
- Comment on If we give human names to dogs, do they give dog names to us humans? 3 months ago:
I believe I have been named (pseudo sneeze sound) + (happy grin pant) + (one second pack howl).
- Comment on Google officially changes the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America on Maps 5 months ago:
I found this paragraph…
Can Trump change the name of the Gulf of Mexico? Maybe, but it’s not a unilateral decision, and other countries don’t have to go along. The International Hydrographic Organization — of which both the US and Mexico are members — works to ensure all the world’s seas, oceans and navigable waters are surveyed and charted uniformly, and also names some of them. There are instances where countries refer to the same body of water or landmark by different names in their own documentation.
