Self driving cars eventually need to be able to work in places other than deserts and moderate coastal areas. You need "boots on the ground" so to speak; you can't really break new ground remotely, on the problems they need to solve, with any efficiency.
You could have just linked to http://verbalexpressions.github.io instead of spamming all the repositories. Also, about half of them are out of date by 3 or more years.
Yep, it's pretty antiquated. Wells Fargo only added the ability to transfer money to an account number online a couple years ago and I think it still only works with some banks.
Not in the US they haven't. I've certainly watched it enough to know the hoops they can jump through, the long method: Check is scanned by a machine at the register and a modem or network check happens to make sure the account is in good standing, they get the person's id and write things down on the check from it and then ask for a phone number. Makes me appreciate self checkout a lot. Some times they just scan the check and give it back which typically confused the heck out of the person who just wasted 2 minutes filling it out.
When I see these when I'm out biking, all I can think of is "Man, the rolling resistance on that bike must be immense." I live in the Midwest so we can get some snow but funny enough, I never see those bikes out in it. Also, it's flat as heck here and there's no trail biking to speak of.
Nope. Look at the graphs for Windows 7 and Windows 10(assuming that's the dotted line) over the whole recorded time starting in 2008. Windows 10 is roughly following Windows 7's trajectory, if not exceeding it a little bit. It took Windows 7 over two years to initially reach 44%. Windows 10 has been out for only about a year now.
They'd still be facing the same dealer and local legislative roadblocks that Tesla has been triggering states to create or enforce since they started and they can't just bully through that. It will require lobbying, time and possibly new legislation, none of which is fast.
Having Tesla front-run a lot of this stuff is pretty smart if they are intending to go that route though.
Who is writing these horrible systems for Amazon? From the article, the way they detect page reads sounds like the simplest use case that a novice developer would come up with. Kindles can definitely record information and upload it later when there's a chance to sync; I use it all the time to submit corrections for books. There's no reason that it should be this simple to game.
Of course, the scammers would just move on to using actual device farms but at least there would be some physical obstacles.
You "disable" the GC in Unity by never allocating anything new after initializing the game. It's a great learning experience to update code to this and it's practically required for mobile.
@ergothus The adults ordering from Amazon when it started out were the kids were ordering books from catalogs in elementary school 20+ years before that. It wasn't a crazy idea at all, in fact, I'd say people were already well primed for it, the rise of the Internet gave Amazon the reach it needed.
Windows Firewall has the annoying habit of letting stuff work until one day it just starts doing its job and doesn't. Typically this is through user prompts that either get spacebar'd away due to focus stealing* or blocked because the user doesn't know what it's asking about.
It's a mess working out what it's doing, fixing it and explaining to the user why their perfectly working system just broke. It could really use some organization tools like the Task Scheduler.
*I thought Microsoft promised at one point around the lead up to Windows 7 that they were going to address their stealing focus issues.
Self checkout is wildly faster for me, even with computers that feel like they're running on hardware from 15 years ago. I can have my basket organized in the same order I'm going to bag it, scan it in, bag it efficiently, pay and leave. The worst part about self checkout are the other people who don't know how to use it, have huge carts(especially at a tiny checkout kiosk that should really have a max item limit) or are just slow. In the case of lines at self checkout, I'll go to an empty lane if the whole store isn't just packed.
Infrastructure is a bad word to Wall Street, it implies it's no longer a growth stock. Wall Street will burn TWTR to the ground if it doesn't keep growing because no one on Wall Street cares about value, they want consistent quarter-over-quarter growth. This makes public companies like Twitter flail about wildly trying to find anything to keep their stock price from sinking even if it's outside their wheelhouse and wildly distorts their services/products.
> Ruby is rails, there is no ruby without rails, there is no rails without ruby. I see almost nothing being written in straight ruby (why would you).
Funniest thing I've read all day. My last web app didn't use rails at all and I'm actively trying not to use it these days because I don't need most of the features it includes and turns on by default.
"Easily"? I thought it was a system level thing? I don't have to sign in to Windows with my developer account(I only use a local account) to use Visual Studio or access the account MSDN/community stuff.
The laws on monopolies don't see it that way and Microsoft still has a huge one in the computing space, despite the in-roads made in the past few years.
I think it's a different story when it's been there from the beginning and developers choose to join your platform versus leveraging your huge already captured market.
And the boogeyman is that Microsoft will automatically patch it out in the future. Microsoft has earned the doubt but I don't think it will happen. Signing every build during development of new products/features would be very onerous, probably even to internal processes at Microsoft.
You don't have to necessarily explode it, just de-orbit it. If you're going to hit it ballistically, then you've already got the capability to de-orbit without risk of cascade.
> Also, Meta has a terrible habit of copying logos. Their old logo was a blatant copy of MIT's "M" and their latest is eerily similar to Mazda's "M" series logo
Not really disagreeing since you have more experience with them than I do but if you asked me to write a cursive M, it would probably come out pretty much the same as both. It's like the laziest logo.
> The linked report doesn't say Google is accepting responsibility
That's for insurance reasons. You're never supposed to admit fault at the collision in the US. You let the police decide and that's that. It's like the first thing listed on the guidelines for collisions on your insurance card.
The legal precedent set would compel Apple to do this for every phone the FBI brought them. The process of unlocking the phone doesn't matter. It's the precedent set that is at issue.
