It's the successor of Slashdot.
🤷
oh god, the Commonwealth games is less than two weeks away.
Imagine telling your police they are "illegally training"
what a fun time that'll be.
Meanwhile-meanwhile..
The state of the glorious British Commonwealth, ladies and gents
Were you guys not born during the golden years of Slashdot?
"DO NOT FLEE YOUR COUNTRY WHILST REPRESENTING YOUR COUNTRY"
Not a tech or nerd guy, I presume.
Back in the day, websites would get "slashdotted."
It was one of the biggest (unintentional) DDoS sites.
Half and half, not the "tech" part though.
I just never really cared about keeping up to date with all that kind of news, I usually just spoke to my friends about it and got the information about that sort of thing by word of mouth
Alas, they sold out to DICE, fired all editors and started publishing clickbait to their other websites.
ah
It was THE source for tech and science news.
And most importantly, the comments were also a really good source of information.
I'd say, 80% of the info on a topic would come from the "+5 Informative" and "+5 Insightful" comments.

This is interesting:
>If you watch the video, only a handful of strips are actually visible in the video, which indicates that the headlights aren't showing as far away as they should.
Also, the video doesn't show the camera tilting forward, which you would expect if the car braked. So it appears that until at least the contact happened, no brakes were activated.
I guess they didn't have the "emergency brakes" DLC.
Uber self-driving cars are designed to give the observer a sense of pride and accomplishment

You can never predict when grandpa will stab you in the chest with a butter knife.

Judging from the intro to this video
It seems to be arguing in favour of the UK police
