True but drift is inherent in dead reckoning due to cumulative errors and evidently the trick this guy used eliminates the drifting or limits it (the prototype was accurate to 5 meters).

If you sell 15 million of something (or whatever the actual number is - I've seen anywhere from 11 to 20 million) then where is the evidence that they made a questionable design decision? My iPhone X is the best phone I've every u

Good thing this study wasn't around during Y2K - the rats would have killed themselves.

And we know they don't because they're hated by advertisers. And the FBI evidently.

You can only support customers that generate revenue. The billions of customers only generate revenue by being mined for revenue whether thats analyzing their habits or their content for revenue. Or in the absence of that the billions of cu

Then you should use Apple Mail for macOS which has the option of including a PDF of the webpage rather than the obviously fragile URL.

You can't fix something that is specifically designed to get the maximum information from people. However if by fix they mean make it even sneakier about how it gathers personal information then I guess fixed it is.

Although it stinks it is only one school district in Minnesota (Duluth) and the books will remain in their library. The reasoning (due to racially insensitive language) is nonsense but there are plenty of books in American literature that c

Sounds like the song for outsourcing customer support to overseas organizations. Don't think that worked out very well. Is there any data on whether people prefer talking to a human being and having a less successful outcome vs talking

I assume their AI will learn from the Uber executives and will soon be responding with racist and misogonistic resolutions to problems.

Their methodology was garbage considering that mobile users were not affected (since they can't hide down voting on most mobile clients). In any case WRT to political Reddits down votes are essential for subscribers to remove troll pos

Even less that that. The exclusions and reductions for pass through are permanents - the savings for regular folks are temporary. When you figure out how much more health care will be middle class folks will lose out. Just as the Republican

The Sinclair outlet in my area is a cesspool of right-wing conservative blowhards and biased news. Very sad.. I'm sure they're glad to pay $13 million in return for the appearance that the FCC cares about broadcast standards. They

I like the headline in the Philly News paper better - "Trump's ambassador to the Netherlands got caught lying about the Dutch". I always applaud MSM when they're not afraid to use Liar to describe Trump and his minions.

Except of course your Android phone SHUTS OFF when the battery is degraded. Apple has designed iOS to let you keep using the phone (perhaps at a slower speed) even with a degraded battery. Apple keeps your phone working longer. Why isn&#x27

Larger size fonts? Republicans are already immunized against public opinion - they know their base will vote for them regardless. It's gonna take a every non-right wing Republican voter to bond together and start voting for the candida

Republicans have made it an art form to get their base to support things that are bad for them. Just look at the new tax bill, reduction of social services. The list is extensive. As long as they feed the agenda in their base's minds t

I find it disheartening that people here who I expect to have a wider view of commentary by online folks would think that just because there are some complaints that it's an actual issue. I also have a 2016 MBP with tb and it's th

If you're talking about the keyboard on the MBP 2016 or 2017 I don't know what you're talking about. My keyboard works fine all day long - so does my office mate who has the same keyboard and who codes on it all day.

Edit #3 - You don't think the few comments on Hacker News represents some kind of consensus do you? My MBP 2016 is easily the best hardware I've ever used. For all the legacy connectivity I need I had to purchase exactly 1 piece o

I guess if you can't produce a movie that's worth watching you might at well make the evening's experience worthwhile regardless of the movie. I'd be willing to pay for a good meal and beverage if the movie was thrown in

Guess it's good I remove it in my deployments. Microsoft seems to be throwing good sense out the window in Windows 10. A number of items I remove get reinstalled during updates. Options I turn off get turned on as well. They're ob

It's not necessarily social media it's people's belief in what they see in social media. Our ability to analyze from a skeptical point of view has not kept up with our ability to distribute information. Sadly MSM did not help

I remove the drivers during deployment. How much does that reduce the vulnerability footprint? Assuming that Lenovo has indeed enabled the firmware write protect feature that Intel describes?

Funny thing is Google is the last company I expect to respect my privacy and I'm usually correct. Apple has incorporated differential privacy in all of their products so yea they get to publicize it more.

I think the point was the zeal that the UK government has in blocking and controlling website access. I'm sure we'll see that here as well - Comcast and Verizon will be glad to block whatever the Trump administration wants in retu
