FaceID works with my regular glasses but some of my sunglasses do not work at all (0% unlock rate with over 100 attempts in various lighting). I think it may depend on the shape of the frame and how much of your face it takes up? Not sure.

To be honest this doesn't seem that hard. write an application that crawls youtube videos in some order, grab the audio and stream it to something like echonest, then strike if it hits on anything?

Agree, one thing I want to clarify: - D+ will not host rated-R content, while Hulu will. Any R-rated original content produced or contracted by Disney will go directly to Hulu. Less sure about the separation between Hulu's live sport

Ditto on the touchpad issues. Have a 2016 XPS 13 (1st or 2nd year of the new design) that I ended up sending in 3 times for repairs due to the touchpad. Jittery, can't scroll, unreliable with right clicks / two finger clicks; ruin

Base salaries probably give an especially incomplete picture of total compensation for union workers, where overtime pay can be 4x your base, and benefits are nearly "cop from the 50s" insane.

While it does not surprise me that compensation is higher for NYC transit workers wrt national average, it is still striking that the difference is so large. I imagine the avg income in NYC is not >55% more than the national average.

This brings up a somewhat related question in my mind... how is my %20 iPad tip at the coffee shop treated differently than the amount I paid? Conventionally a tip was something you could physically separate from the amount you paid for the

Somewhat related, there's a chrome extension called honey that will compare the final price (incl. tax) of all sellers for a product listing and add the best one to your cart. I've saved tons of money in some situations where an a

I think it would be better for the writer to provide specific evidence for the specific pretext. You don't need to convince me that climate change is real, but climate change is a general term. I'd rather see some evidence backing

A is obviously the choice here... but that's a problem if you have a lot of big fish trying to get their money but can't. The price should be tanking, but everyone is too afraid to trigger a run on the exchanges that would kill th

Why not just put it on netplay? Faster Melee makes strides towards latency improvements but I think a little latency and instability would actually be better to teach the AI fundamentals like spacing and zoning, rather than just beating opp

Can you prove that it's intentional? It looks more like a very specific positioning of the character relative to the map and a lot of trial and error that is causing the cpu to kill itself

Interestingly the reason they chose falcon was that he has no projectile attacks. I also remember hearing that it could only play against other falcons, and only on battlefield. But it could have been improved since then

I also have an @live.com email. I think "live" was one of Microsoft's many failed services rebrands. Remember windows live messenger, windows live photo gallery? Lol

Yes. I may have not been clear, I do think BTC is in a bubble. When my 60 year old parents, who can barely figure out how to use netflix are asking me if they should buy bitcoin, there is a serious problem. Though I do not think it will be

Same here. All of the sudden all of the college dropouts from my area are blockchain experts, talking up new coins as if they read the whitepaper (as if that is enough anyway). These are the "get rich quick" folks, the same ones w

Unfortunately fractional reserve isn't safe for a currency that is this volatile. Depending on what the "fraction" is, some major withdrawal demand against one of these exchanges would topple it

Im curious as to what the response will be from regulators when these loans start to mature. I'm assuming none of these companies are 'too big to fail', and will be allowed to fall apart. That's the big difference betwee

I respectfully disagree. I think that Uber has done a great job of hooking a large volume of consumers on their core product, and now there is a huge opportunity to leverage that base to create income streams all over the travel space. Cons

I couldn't agree more. Look at internet speed tests. I used the ookla speed test because it was the first result until one day Google had created its own, built right into the search results page. I don't know which product is bet

Ive taken a ton of lyfts (and Ubers before the scandals) in the NYC and Philly areas and have never seen a lyft driver who didn't also have an Uber sticker on the windshield. This is not the case with most Uber drivers in my experience

In a perfect world yes, but lots of scientific disciplines are heavily influenced by politics and public opinion in terms of funding, University support, etc. We can't pretend it doesn't matter

This has been true for years though; I'm curious as to why I hear it more often now. You've always been able to get more bang for your buck with a Windows machine, but that didn't stop MacBooks from selling.

According to todays job report, retail employment is still growing: http://www.marketwatch.com/story/us-adds-227000-new-jobs-in-... EDIT: this growth is due in part to seasonal hires

I think their scale is actually a part of the problem. They try to act like a small company but they aren't anymore, and it's working against them.
