• Image recognition will be able to figure out the obvious items, and hopefully the expiration dates, too, but it’s not going to be able to figure out that opaque containers are nearly empty or identify leftovers in tupperware. It’s also probably going to be unable to identify when loose produce is past its best unless it’s extremely rotten.

• Some things off the top of my head are:

  • you could set the temperature to a number of degrees via a numerical display, which would be much harder to implement without a microcontroller.
  • maybe you could have PID control over the compressor rather than bang-bang control, so the temperature would be more stable.
  • these days, a bimetallic strip costs more than a microcontroller and a chip thermometer, despite the chip being much more accurate.

  All of this only requires a really dumb microcontroller, though, not one with networking. I don’t see how that could be useful until your fridge could magically track what it contains so you could ask it if you needed to buy stuff while you were shopping. I don’t think we have the technology for that yet.

• The fediverse is casual social media where you don’t really need social skills because all the other players with social skills play ranked on proprietary social media.

• This is a common misconception. Trans people actually have a directional air dash.

• Unless you pick a particularly short-lived isotope, the radiation wouldn’t have time to hurt you before you died of regular heavy metal poisoning like you’d get from something boring like lead or mercury.

• Pretty effective because of its high density, too. It’s a shame it’s brittle and would give you heavy metal poisoning.

• In the UK, it’s because it’s the defence’s job to notice this kind of thing, but paying for a good lawyer is life-ruiningly expensive, and public defenders via legal aid are paid hourly, but have a cap on the number of hours that’s never enough to deal with anything properly, so are either rushing everything and miss things, or are massively overworked and earning well below minimum wage when their unpaid work is included.

  I don’t know if the same problems extend to Canada, but it’s fairly likely, as the adversarial approach just inherently means the defence has to do loads of things that would be someone else’s job or not need doing at all under alternative systems, so you have to have a trained professional doing lots of work, and that’s inherently expensive, but taxpayers don’t like spending money on defending people who probably did crimes.
