That video screen on the inside of the umbrella could be made with some portable beamer projecting it, would be cool to have in a storm so you could see oncoming traffic haha

Very pricy, the Renault Twizzy is only 9000 euro's..

tikumo | 7 years ago | on: Article 13 is almost finished and will change the internet as we know it

This wil change nothing that is not already in effect for most sites. Try to upload a movie to Youtube, it will be removed. But only when the owner/author complains or some automatic filter is triggered.

There is also too much content to check and enforce it all.

You could just add some kind of hash based on the redirect url and check that, to ensure that it can't be altered.

The dark side of the moon, perhaps the perfect place for a big telescope?

tikumo | 7 years ago | on: Why touchscreens in cars don’t work

This is exactly why i've bought a car stereo with android that also has normal volume buttons on the side etc, most of them handle everything by touch but a normal button is still a lot easier, better feedback..

this has impact in lenses as well, because with high enough resolution you could emulate lenses on the screen.

Already bought the Nexdock..

I would really like to see a slot for the phone, like the old Asus Tablet where you could insert a telephone in the back.

The next step is to make it dented like a golfball..

tikumo | 9 years ago | on: UK votes to leave EU

I wonder if it's possible for example the Netherlands or Germany to make a seperate trade agreement with England.

But i think that in the long run some company's will act as proxy's to deliver goods and workers, so nothing will change, just some other way's of looking at it..

tikumo | 9 years ago | on: Trent Reznor says YouTube is “built on the backs of free, stolen content”

Yeah but this musician provides free downloads of his music and high quality garage band files for a low price. That makes it somewhat different..

tikumo | 9 years ago | on: Aldi's Barcode Strategy

I've never noticed that their products had more than one barcode. In the Netherlands the skill of fast "bleeping" is lost nowadays, stores tend to hire young girls as they are cheaper, and only if you go to the store on a weekday in the morning you will encounter an older woman, but they are not so fast as in the past.

The small checkout counter makes the difference in my opinion, fast in the cart speeds up the whole process. Lots of times i'm stunned by people who wait by the cash register to pay and let the products stack up, so the next person has to wait till they put everything back in their cart. This is not a problem with Aldi / Lidl.

The only thing that would make it faster is a cart thats lower on one side so that they can make a slide for your products..

more suicides means less depressed people walking around, so that could make a happier society.. (suicide boots from Futurama anyone?)

tikumo | 10 years ago | on: Instagram Is Ruining Vacation

It kinda is the same as all those people who feel the need to share their meal, or with whom they are. Imho it means you are not completely there and thinking of other people who you need to impress. I must admit, i have my moments of weakness, but not so much as other people i follow.

tikumo | 10 years ago | on: Show HN: BitBar – Put anything in your Mac OS X menu bar

I use it to display my (remote) docker uptime stats and the external/internal ip adres. It works quite nice.

tikumo | 10 years ago | on: Litvinenko Inquiry Publishes Report

Exactly, and we like the idea that some James Bond guy is working for "our" causes and killing spies, but when it happens in real life in a nice controlled manner.. we act all surprised.
