This is why I will never donate to Kickstarter. Anyone can do this.

If Microsoft was so big on fucking DLC, then they should make the DLC from the 360 backwards compatible to the new Xbox. Thank you Microsoft for fucking me over and wasting shitloads of money which will not be usable on the new system. Thank you for being fucking arrogant about it as well, and telling me that I better keep my 360. I always have been an Xbox fan. Come end of the year, hello Playstation. Fucking arrogance like this crap cemented the idea of switching, "if you want the @#$@ing from Gamestop, go play PS4."

I have done that plenty of times. As long as you do it where there are witnesses and you don't do anything else...

We are slowly losing freedoms that were once thought to be a given.

A migrating bird could have eaten a few seeds and in the course of traveling long distances, pooped it out. This happens all the time with migrating birds.

Personally, I have been waiting a very long time for this. PC users need not read this. I love this company as they have revolutionized many things. Just the App Store alone gives me enough reason to be loyal forever. iOS... just beautiful. The Mac Pro... mind blown..

This guy did a very brave thing for us. Hopefully, nothing bad happens to him and his decision to not be anonymous is fucking insane...

Dumbest fucking shit I ever read. This guy really post pictures of how to ball up your fist? I been in many fist fights growing up as a child, a teenager, and an adult. At my age, you do not get in any fist fights as anyone that attempts to attack me will get fucking shot on the spot. As far as getting in a fight(if you are a youngster), do not even attempt to box it out with the other guy. Rush in and bash away. Don't use haymaker sings though. Kick in the balls, bite, grab the nearest object and bash the other guy as all is fair game when it comes to a fight. I can't believe this guy said not to use kicks. A kick hits twice as hard as your arm would. Guess this guy has never heard of range. Anybody can use a kick. Ever heard of the term "kick like a girl"? Well guess what, it is fucking useful. Most public fights are over in less than a minute. Might as well go full steam and fuck the other dude up before he fucks you up.

Good news for California. They should dismantle the radioactive material asap as it could always be a Japan rerun...

As long as I can tell a cop to go fuck themselves without being arrested, I don't feel oppressed.

Calm down before you get a stroke. I wasn't serious.

We should use that money to drop bombs via drones 24/7. Eradicate them out of existence.

The thing is, big retailers have cameras, a lot of fucking cameras. Better to buy them from the rinky dink mom and pop shops that take cash with no cameras in the shop. They don't care if you are John Doe or George Washington.

Unless you actually created the phone itself, all you are doing is putting a Sim card in it, and calling it a BurnerPhone. No offense, but I can't just buy an iPhone, put a Sim card in it, and call it the YoPhone.... Can you clear up the fact that you make the phone or you buy it yourself in bulk?

I call bullshit.

What a ripoff. I can get a cheap throwaway phone with unlimited minutes/text for less than $50. I also can buy it with cash at any mom and pop cellular phone shop. I don't need I.D. and I can use any fucking name I want. This phone needs a fucking credit card and an address to deliver. Might as well put up a fucking sign saying dumbest criminal in the world! Leaving a paper trail all over the damn place.

If you think politicians nowadays are here for your best interest and will not go back on the their word, then well..... I got a bridge I want to sell you in Brooklyn.

Pizza deliveries cannot wait 5 minutes or so. You are now talking out of your ass. That is one of the worst ideas I have ever heard and pizza companies will never do this. They can just hire people who are down on their luck to drive for them for chump change. You ever see a pizza delivery person take their time? Hell fucking no. You honestly fucking think they will spend thousands of dollars on a vehicle to equip with all this automated bullshit? The costs would be astronomical, so much fucking wasted R&D, and to top it off, this is not some Back to the Future bullshit. This is the dumbest shit I have read on HN in a long fucking time....

Unpaid internships are bullshit. If they want you to work a 40 hour workweek, then they need to fucking pay minimum wage at a minimum.

Who said anything about hijacking a truck? This is called grab and go. You obviously have never heard of shoplifting or beer runs. This would be a crime of opportunity which happens all the time with or without surveillance. You have gone off the deep end if you think those drones are practical for security use. A 10 minute battery range is laughable.

Why would the author waste time posting about the things he is doing? I hardly speak for everyone, but I would be using that time to for a bucket list, visiting friends, and other personal things that needed to be done.

<Well, I think my son must have created and configured the blog.

He is an engineer and he isn't sure?

Actually, you are being silly. You have never been in "the hood" then where cops take forever to get there. Ever been to L.A., NYC, etc.? All that stuff cost extra money to equip a vehicle. Cameras can't do much with someone that has a bandana and shades on. You think the police will actually dispatch a helicopter for a driver-less vehicle? You sound like YOU have been watching too many movies. The cost to run drones in the air would end up being astronomical. I hope you are not being serious....

This will open up all types of theft. Camera on the robot? No problem, that mask and spray paint will clear that problem right up. Not to mention all the kids who will definitely be pushing this over for fun....

I can just imagine the grandmother in a walking chair trying to get the package in a timely manner.

You are limiting your thinking to one type of solution. You also forgot the one thing that will trump all this, the human mind. A criminal mind would easily be able to rip off all the goods in a situation with driver-less cars.

I'm sorry but self-driving cars will not make any type of delivery. You obviously have not thought of even the simplest type of logistical delivery method. How would the package go from point A(the delivery vehicle), to point B(point of delivery). The simplest logistical standpoint of just getting out the vehicle and bringing the package to the residence is too advanced for any robot, anytime soon. A person can hop out, drop it off, and be on his/her way before a robot even gets to the curb. A self driving car with a person inside pretty much defeats the purpose of a self-driving vehicle.

Everyone knows how that would turn out...

When Google Shopping Express can offer two day shipping to the entire country, then I will be impressed. Why is the author comparing two different products that are not even made of the same material? I can go buy a faux leather wallet for $5, and turn around and buy a $100 quality leather wallet somewhere else. When it comes to wood, if you want cheap, you can get cheap. When you buy cabinets for your house, you do not go with the cheap particle board, you go with the solid wood. Google is great in many things, but when it comes to customer service, Amazon wins hands down any day of the week.

That comment "Nobody is challenging Amazon in e-commerce. Nobody." is highly inaccurate. Every major company already does deal in e-commerce. Amazon may do it best, but it doesn't mean they are not being challenged. Many companies are doing pretty well in e-commerce. Their expansion into grocery home delivery has been snail paced at best. It is like raving about Google Fiber when it will not be available for most of the country for a very long time.

The thing is, when a car hits water, it is usually in a violent way where I would imagine people would be momentarily stunned. By that time, the water pressure outside would be too high for them to open the door. Breaking the window is a bit hard to do as well for most people in that situation. Breakout window tools are great, but most people leave their tools in the trunk. This is where the controlled breathing is vital. I have not been in this situation, but I have been in drowning situations where I have helped someone in the ocean. I took quick, deep breaths and it helped me while I was underneath the water searching. When I was a kid, I took swimming lessons, and the first thing the trainer talked about was controlled breathing. Before we even started swimming around, he would make us stay still while taking deep breaths. Try it anywhere and you will see how your body reacts to it afterwards.
