Apple Engineer Talks about the New 2015 Macbook

oritteropo says...

Here, with subtitles of the original story, https://youtu.be/WDiB4rtp1qw

Original clip is called "Risitas y las paelleras", and it's a funny story about the work-shy laughing guy's bad experience working for a seaside restaurant in Chipiona, from Spanish tv show Ratones Coloraos.



(Also, @Payback, even speaking quite good Spanish might not be enough for this guy).

Anyone have a link to the original video? This guy with five teeth must be telling the funniest anecdote in the history of mankind.

I'm also happy to see that we can now let the Germans in on the joke. If someone could use some CGI magic so Fiveteeth is sitting at the table in Hitler's bunker, that would probably be pretty great.

Yes, I can even imagine how they would look - http://goo.gl/oQjivN (I hope they kept the printing plates).

I do wonder if there is some obscure euro rule or bailout condition that would prevent it.. but in any case, as with previous governments, unless Syriza sort out tax and corruption they have no chance with or without TANs.

radx said:

As a fan of your fellow Aussie Bill Mitchell's work on MMT and the Eurozone, I'm quite delighted to see TANs offered as one tool of many to alleviate at least some of Greece's problems.

A Power Rangers for the rest of us (rated R version)

I'd genocide all IP if such a feat were possible. Tyler Durden has gotta be kickin around somewhere in the collective unconscious.

If there is such a force, be it far future grey goo or gods that dwell within or without, I dedicate the abstract concept of my fictitious soul to the undoing of all corporate power.

Corporations are people and their IP is what? The thoughts within its brain? Well, I'd murder one or all so easily. Prey on their greed.

As the datum of my prayer festers in the digital realm, my only desire is for vengeance. I will rise from within the 1s and 0s, Viggo the Carpathian style.

The reason we live in dystopian future... today... Excellent fan video released on the internet, stirs up a reinterest in a shitty old intellectual property, people who profit from this buzzes response? Take the video away from the masses. F U, aholes.

I just... I get it, but it doesn't feel good. It doesn't feel like the internet I voted for! lol

Here's a news article: http://goo.gl/r7MFeR
I had to shorten the link, since the Sift messed it up.

I want follow up on this story.
Did he turn the video into the police and get an arrest?
Did he turn the video into the boss and get all involved fired?
Did he turn the video into Bubba and get the kid kneecapped and his shifting hand smashed?
I think I would go for the hat trick of all 3.

Yes, see the second link I put in later.

This might be a corner of it here in streetview - https://goo.gl/maps/6oNs3

Also, keep following that road in streetview.

The satellite maps are probably too old to show it though... it looks like the roofing of the old buildings that they knocked down to build the crumpled paper bag building.

eric3579 said:

I was trying to use the satellite map to find that building. Couldn't figure it out. Any ideas?

oritteropo says...

Yes! I love the crumpled paper bag building

I haven't been back to Sydney since I heard about it, but I do plan to check it out when I next visit.

It's just near central station, https://goo.gl/maps/PgYSS and last time I was in Sydney I was actually at that station several times... I probably even saw the scaffolding and cranes for its construction, but didn't realise at the time

shit the coal lobby says-no really-they said this

oritteropo says...

In terms of the Brisbane G20 summit referenced in this video, very little came out in favour of coal The G20 Leaders Communique came out saying that Gas is an increasingly important energy source, that the G20 reaffirms its committment to phase out inefficient fossil fuel subsidies.

The petition above has 2498 signatures out of its goal of 4000.

The Grauniad saw it like this - http://goo.gl/lnU8mC (well, First Dog on the Moon saw it like that, he also had one on coal powered electicity generation - http://goo.gl/MbNMfO ).

Mr. Abbott is left looking very out of touch and stuck in the past after lobbying to keep climate change out of the leaders communique, and then two days before the summit the U.S. and China came out with a joint announcement promising action on CO2 emissions - http://goo.gl/MvG1I5

So, does anyone know what came out of the G20 regarding coal, good or bad?

Trapping Burning Gasses With a Thin Wire Screen

oritteropo says...

I don't think I want to be the one to test that theory, I'd be worried about what would happen after the initial phase... it is quite true though that the two gases need to be in a certain range of ratios to explode. Since earth has a nitrogen/oxygen atmosphere we normally talk about the gas concentration in air, but in the reverse situation you also need a certain percentage of oxygen like your chem teacher said.

There has been talk of coal mining in an oxygen free environment, with the workers wearing space suits, see this Deseret News article from 1970 for instance - http://goo.gl/PEZKp8

I didn't find any evidence that the idea got past feasibility testing.

oohlalasassoon said:

This reminds me of something that my high school Chemistry teacher told us one day. He told us about how gasses require a certain percentage of oxygen to ignite, so, that if you were to fill up an airtight room with 100% hydrogen, such that no oxygen was present, you could open a door to that room and light a match at the threshold without fear of an explosion. Theoretically the gas in the room would only burn at the door-shaped barrier between the hydrogen and the oxygen on the other side. I remain dubious and I want to see Adam Savage risk his life to bust that myth.

Also, actually related to this video: the guy doing the demonstration,Theodore Gray, has an awesome website if you're into chemistry.

Instantly See Which Side of Your Car the Gas Tank Is On

oritteropo says...

My 2006 Mazda 6 has it, and so does every other recent car I've driven.

I don't remember my 1976 Corolla having an arrow though, and images from the 70s don't show it either.

This image from a 2006 Camry shows the arrow pointing to the side the fuel hose goes - http://goo.gl/fa9dxx so maybe it's only in the last 10 years? Is your car older than that?

xxovercastxx said:

I've never seen this on any of the 5 cars I've owned, nor any of my parents' cars (all together that's 1 Honda, 1 Mazda, 3 VWs, 3 Toyotas, 2 Fords, 1 Chevy, 1 BMW, 1 Geo, and 1 Dodge).

Does anyone have this on their own car?

Stella Young: I'm not your inspiration, thank you very much

The bobcat didn't know I was there... For almost a minute.

oritteropo says...

I now realise that some of the comments above were describing Canadian Lynx (Lynx canadensis) as "Lynx" even though Bobcat (Lynx Rufus) is also a Lynx and so is Lynx Lynx (Eurasian Lynx).

All the pictures of the Canadian Lynx that I had previously seen were ones with their shaggy winter coat that makes them look like they're wearing pyjamas (http://goo.gl/zlJUS5) But anyway, I agree with you that it ticks off all the bobcat signifiers. It's also a long way from Canada or Alaska.

Chairman_woo said:

Pretty sure it's a bobcat though they are easy to confuse.

I reference this http://travel4wildlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/lyx-vs-bobcat2.jpg

Specifically I'm thinking: short tufts, visible spots, and rear legs & hips similar length to front and most significantly longer tail. (Lynx barely has enough tail to swish unlike this chap)

To my eye you can tick off all the main bobcat signifiers here anyway.

Edit: Lynx Rufus is a Bobcat! (should have read further before commenting DOH!)
