  • I don’t see how her choice to decline the invitation would affect her career. Not going seems like a non-issue that will barely even enter public discourse.

    If she had gone and protested, she might have been dropped by her label (I don’t know how progressive Island Records is). Even then, the “no such thing as bad press” axiom might have worked in her favor. It seems like her fan base is pretty fervent, meaning she would likely be attractive to another label.

    That assumes you can unplug it. Most devices I own have the camera built right into the device, and it can sometimes be hard to find an option that doesn’t include it. I have a Webcam cover on my desktop and laptop.

    I haven’t seen one that would work for my phone, but if someone has hacked my phone, I probably have bigger issues.



  • So, if I grab an item off the shelf and browse around the store for a while, is the price going to be the price currently displayed or the price when I grabbed it?

    If it’s the current price, what’s the point of a price tag? If I can’t actually know the price until checkout, then showing me the price is kind of a useless bit of data. I also suspect that the “speak to a manager” types would make that a major headache for stores.

    If it’s the price when I grabbed it, how are they keeping track of that? I see two ways of handling that: one requires that you use their app to shop, and the other requires cameras and “machine vision” that are still unreliable, at best. The former seems more likely, but I doubt either is going to sit well with customers.

    Edit: someone pointed out that it might not actually display a price, and you’d have to scan it to get your price. Kind of like the first option, but I think it’s going to turn off less tech savvy customers.

    I haven’t seen that aspect addressed in any articles about the “feature”.




  • Was Sprachen Sie spricht? (Deutsch/German)

    I’m not a native speaker, but I’m pretty sure it’s

    Welche Sprachen sprechen Sie?

    assuming you want to be formal, which feels a little weird to me in the context of an internet forum.

    Edit: but to answer your question: fluent English, mehr als ein Bißchen Deutsch, y un poquito Español.

    Fortunately, it sounds like the LD50 is pretty high.

    Scientific studies have found it takes approximately 15 to 30 grams of garlic per kilogram of body weight to produce harmful changes in a dog’s blood. To put that into perspective, the average clove of supermarket garlic weighs between 3 and 7 grams, so your dog would have to eat a lot to get really sick.

    Still best to avoid it if possible, obviously.
