“This thing was the best car,” the man on the phone told us. We’d just found his name and number on a piece of paper, abandoned on the floor of a dead, red Pontiac Aztek and decided to give him a call. He sang it praises I’ve never heard anyone sing about an Aztek. It was unbelievable, it was mind-blowing. It was…
You’re boarding up the windows. You’re stocking up on water. You’re scooping sandbags. But wait: Do you have cash? If you’re preparing for a hurricane, tropical storm, or other weather event that provides plenty of notice, you should add visiting the bank or ATM to your to-do list.
NVIDIA has a couple of talks during Hot Chips, with this first one going into the Xavier SoC.
It’s impossible to completely avoid germs, but when you’re trapped with them at 35,000 feet you might want to know where they like to hang out the most. The dirtiest place, it turns out, is right in front of your seat.

It never gets old. Never.
"Getty Critics" is a blog that usually makes fun of Getty Images' stock photos (below), but thankfully for all of us, they turned their attention to Getty's collection of stock video (otherwise known as b-roll, which until now I thought was the only word for it).
Her raking form is absolutely terrible.
Stock video actually has no sound. It's there for people like low-budget news producers and low-budget commercial directors who want filler footage of something vaguely related (you know, like a commercial for genital herpes medicine showing two parents enjoying board game night with their kids - because herpes won't stop them from enjoying life). Then they either add saccharine music or a voice-over of someone rambling off side affects, and boom! You've got a commercial. In order to have video available for whatever weird needs commercial directors have (I need a middle-aged Hispanic woman looking at bills and furrowing her brow from her kitchen table inside of an igloo!), they have to shoot every kind of dumb idea imaginable. As you can see from this video.

Summer is ending, but that doesn't mean your weight loss journey is over. Before you mask your bulk with chunky sweaters and oversized scarves, take these 7 easy steps toward hitting your goal weight.
8. Take off your shoes. Though classic diet advice might suggest keeping your running shoes on, it's important to take them off when you weigh yourself. Shoes can weigh up to 2 pounds, depending on whether they're flip-flops or tennis shoes or heavy platforms. Get ready to tip the scales in your favor!
7. Take off the rest of your clothes. Are you wearing a jacket without even realizing it? Studies have found that simply tracking whether you're wearing a jacket or not when you weigh yourself can lead to a one-time weight loss of up to 1.5 pounds. Removing your jeans, shirt, socks, and underwear won't up your metabolism, but it will make a pound or two slip away like magic.
But keep in mind that "people throw rocks at things that shine."
When it comes to inspiring Taylor Swift's lyrics, Harry Styles has nothing on Adolf Hitler. Just kidding, Taylor Swift isn't a neo-Nazi, although funnily enough, Hitler was in a boy band called MEIN SYNC. The Pinterest board "Real Taylor Swift Quotes" is the work of Emily Pattinson, and it is a work of fiction. Taylor Swift never actually made any of these seemingly innocuous, yet contextually devastating statements. They were made by Hitler, Osama bin Laden, and other people who were once extremely popular, much like Taylor Swift is now. But just because Taylor Swift has made a sudden rise to power and desires to inculcate today's restless youth with certain messages via the propaganda format of song, doesn't mean there's anything to be afraid of. So put on your Swiftler Youth Badge and keep your head down.
To be fair, that was a pretty great cake. Instagram needed that cake.
Written by and starring Charlene deGuzman, I Forgot My Phone is just a brief, quiet, somewhat chilling reminder that we have no need to worry about SkyNet machines crushing our skulls in a violent revolution of circuitry over humanity. We've already surrendered our world to the machines. Our present exists inside our our gadgets. We have no interest in living it. We simply want to capture and upload it for others to know that it happened. Our lives are silent, fractured, and always postponed. Enjoy the rest of your Monday.
