It's not very clear how it detects that customer X has picked up product Y. It mentions 'computer vision', but shirley they can't mean that there's a zillion webcams intelligently figuring out who's put what in their shopping bags or not??

So,
it'll be using a combination of approaches to reach a decision on what you've bought with high statistical accuracy...
1) they'll track your position around the store, so they'll know which shelves you've visited and when.
2) they'll have RFID chips in all the products, so they can see what leaves the store and the time that it leaves.
3) they'll have cameras pointing at the shelves, and can see the difference between what was there before and after someone stood near it
4) they'll have absolutely fuck-tons of consumer spending pattern data to draw on, almost as a tie breaker... so if two people stand near the bananas at the same time, and exit at the same time, and it doesn't know who picked it up, it might be possible to deduce who by assuming it's the guy who always buys bananas, and not the guy who joined the facebook group "I fucking hate bananas".
Any one of these approaches alone will be woefully inaccurate but taken together they're probably more accurate than checkout staff.

I encountered a MiG fighter in the 80's
I was flying F15s off an aircraft carrier in the pacific ocean. Suddenly my wing man and I spotted two MiGs and we engaged. My navigator and I had some fun with one of them by flying upside down over their plane. I might have given the MiG pilot the finger. My wingman wasn't so fortunate and got really freaked out. So much so that I had to guide him down back to the carrier. He handed in his wings as a result and gave up the opportunity to go to a top homoerotic flying school. Lucky for us we got to go instead.

I know well the cut of your jib. Zero intellectual integrity. Either homophobia and other human rights abuses are evil, or they ain't. Stop excusing scum that perpetuate these evils because they share some imbecilic left wing ideology.

OK, so Pru might not have watched the whole video...
...well I did, and Pru is entirely spot on...
Sure, there was a chance that in the last 75% she might have said something intelligent and insightful, and sure there was a chance that Pru would have looked like a fool.
But that didn't happen, and thus this entire argument is total guff.

no. no it isn't
it is an apoligia for a brutal dictator. She's like those academics who went to Stalin's Russia and saw what they wanted to see - and that was not 'collectivisation of the kulaks' (in plain words mass starvation).
'I'd rather be in a Cuban prison than Guanatamo Bay'
Whataboutery at premier league level.

I love these arguments
human rights record: She heard some people say that they would rather be in a Cuban jail than Guantanamo Bay, so Castro was good on human rights.
freedom of speech: People would be arrested for criticizing Castro, but then they would be released later so it's really great actually.
The stuff she says about human rights and homosexuality just doesn't reflect what went on in the 70s and 80s.

God, I feel dirty for saying this
but I agree with Prufrock and TheACFanClub. Castro's political position is unimportant. He was a dictator who put in place a system which forcibly removed opposition temporarily and permanently, denied people the freedom to be themselves, and didn't allow people to change the system.
He was, in short, a twat.

The dilemma of the left since the end of WWII
America is so obviously the neighbourhood bully that anyone against it must be right.
This should have unwound when the world understood Stalin.
But instead we have the front bench of the Labour party supporting the most god awful people in the world.
Actually the reality of Cuba is complex. As the US has recently learned, democracy and the rule of law don't miraculously appear.

Also 'Recently learned' fuck's sake, no. No they HAVEN'T learned. They REPEATEDLY haven't learned, which is why they kept up not only an embargo on Cuban goods, but numerous attempts to promote coups and assassination attempts for nearly fourty years.
'Castro wasn't a nice man, Commies are bad' is as much a one point argument as your 'dilemma of the left'.

But the opposition he removed was a military dictator
who killed 30,000 in the years leading up to the revolution. I'm not sticking up for Fidel, just stating the reason it happened. The vast majority of the issues in Cuba are down to the USA. You have a communist government that ousted a US backed government, which had let the mafia effectively run the country. The US led an attempted invasion, and tried for decades to kill Castro. Hardly a scenario thats going to make a new government feel safe and stable. Its the US led sanctions that are the cause of the majority of poverty in Cuba.
Left wing and right wing press are as bad as each other. The left talk like he was some sort of angel, while the right would have you believe the Cuba before the revolution was some sort of Caribbean democratic heaven

Good and bad. Was he like Hitler? No. Was he like Gandhi? No. Was he a discrete human who deserves to be judged on his own terms? Yeah
This idea that anyone who isnt a democrat gets put in the bin marked 'evil' is odd. We've only had universal suffrage here since 1928 so you could apply that to any leader we've had before then - Lloyd George, Disraeli, Cromwell, Henry V - all of whom now have statues in that London and are held up as national heroes.

I have no doubt he was totalitarian cunt, did numerous cunt things that only totalitarian cunts can get away with. Maybe for some peasant farmer he might have made life better, but I would have hated living there.

The most hateful racism I've ever borne witness to
was expressed by two black British people of afro carribean extraction towards black African immigrants. The word 'monkeys' was used a lot, but that wasn't the worst of it. When I pointed out they were being horrible racists there was much teeth sucking, and I was told that as a white man I "wouldn't understand". They were right. I didn't, and still don't. I mean, they all look the same to me.

My anecdote is from a very long time ago,
it happened in my first post university stop gap job. I was genuinely shocked. One of my very last acts before I left and got a proper job provided some poetic justice. Cheryl and Althea had been slagging off Marcus. What Cheryl and Althea didn't know was that it was I who had interviewed and hired Marcus. Marcus turned out to be an excellent employee; conscientious, hard working and good at his job. The exact opposite of Cheryl and Althea. So I promoted him over them when their supervisor left. I heard he had continued to climb the ladder, while they remained stuck in their rut about two years after I'd left.

I worked with a woman who's father was white/English and her mother was black/Nigerian. The other Nigerian mothers at her son's school would slag her off because the way she had done her hair made her look Jamaican. I was astounded that her hair style led to racist abuse from other black women.

There's one of those cunting cars on my street
The cunt who owns it goes to work at 5:30 in the morning. His cunt exhaust must wake up the whole street as he lets the engine warm up.
The question (at 5:45am) is, what do I use to block the chrome scaffold pipe he uses as an exhaust? Should I use cavity wall filler, no more nails or a potato? Should I go to the added trouble of setting a biro tube or kazoo through the centre?

Some ignorant cunt was visiting a neighbouring home at irregular intervals.
Fortunately it only happened four or five times as it was driving me into a murderous rage. Will make a mental note of cavity filler in case he makes a reappearance.

Most probably an idiot
A well sorted highly turboed car should be near silent at idle.
This a combination of the massive damping effect the turbo has and the lowered compression needed to run big boost.
That being said, he might be running a constant RPM setup, in that case it's either a boat or a power station and you urgently need new glasses.

An idiot, as opposed to what? The guy in the above video?
I think the exhaust noise is worse when he's got a parked car behind him reflecting the god-awful dubstep-loop racket.

As opposed to someone who has interrest in engineering and expresses it with cars
In another video, at a drag strip (thusly without ANY muffler), it's not obnoxious, because it's been done right.
youtu.be/mkPLCn_nHK0?t=130
In my book, anybody who can't build a motor that can idle properly is a wanker.
I've heard 50cc's that make more noise at a red light than a 3L F1 at idle FFS...
As a side not, we are mounting the turbos on our boat today.
Just the housing for the compressor is already about as heavy as that Golf.

If you drove your boat on public roads I'd think the worse of you too

We had exactly the same problem years ago in mine
So confronted the guy and told him the noise his car makes was unacceptable, especially before even kids are awake. He moved

What about odd kids? Do they sleep better?
I don't know where he actually lives, so to confront him I'd have to leap out of bed and throw myself across his windscreen in my yukata and slippers.

I love these sort of videos, because the rage they induce makes me feel alive.
"MK1 VW Golf", and then a ten page shopping list of reasons why no, it FUCKING ISN'T a MK1 Golf any more.

Reminds me of my oldest sister telling me that she bought a new car and was all excited about it.
I asked her what car it was.
She replied 'blue'.
