I actually looked for a double-din touch screen with a HDMI input and audio out... and nothing else (couldn't find it). Anything I connect to that system would be categorically better than any OEM car interface.

Yes, and there are some problems with that system as outlined by others — I've also seen instances where the system was really only half-implemented: Peers supply the feedback, but one manager has the time/resources to review it..

From what I've seen the performance review process in large companies allows you to mask a personal vendetta as a performance issue (and you'll get away with it). Your manager can say "based on feedback everyone says you suck

Use them or not, just be aware that Google is tracking them.

Yeah but what if there's one machine that makes billions of toothbrushes. Does google decide to not make that machine?

Are you talking about the old "don't sit too close to the TV adage?"

You're still talking about an audience that's predominantly gamers. The mobile phone market by default has a much larger market. My parents have phones that can do VR, they don't have a Playstation.

#333 on #FAFAFA passes every contrast check in existence. I don't mind the thin font, but they render really poorly on some systems, so it's definitely a weird choice. Your widescreen monitor doesn't increase readable line-le

This is actually a worse deal compared to the existing Uber Pool Pass for people commuting to a 9-5 20/40 times a week — using that service put you at ~$4/ride. Interesting to see Uber attempting to compete at a slightly-more than

Pretty sure it isn't just about discovery considering you couldn't have an app on an iPhone without Apple. This is just an inevitability of a walled ecosystem.

I'll praise anyone who tries this shit, even if it's just a presentation to start. I'd like to encourage more people to try.

"Only way" is a bit of an exaggeration (Most popular way for sure). I've had large print houses ask for RGB files so they can control the CMYK conversion on their end (usually in cases when you're trying to get as close

A bit shortsighted that you'd call Italians 'native' to the North End — even if we disregard Native Americans, The North End began with Irish immigrants (who managed to push out a small African community in a section called N

They might be mixed better overall in specific areas, but there's some significant segregation... anecdotally you can look at Boston and see very clear cross-neighborhood divides. Some mixed areas like the South End (50% white), but al

It's an unpleasant process.

Exactly why I wish they'd just focus on Hangouts. I might actually use it on desktop at work more than on mobile, but I like having the flexibility.

That's my point. It does one thing, but it's by no means security.

If someone learns better through sight, there must be someone that also learns better through other senses right? What are learning "types" often limited to only cognitive/spacial?

Really good low-light quality on that selfie.

If you start to look at the "different ways" claims, they fall apart pretty quickly with basic logic. One of the most common claims I hear is that someone is a "visual" learner. If that were true, wouldn't it also m

Also remove your microphone and don't use a keyboard? If I were hacking you I'd _much_ rather log your keystrokes or hear what you're saying. The number of scenarios where having a visual would be useful would be incredibly l

>If there is a malfunction with the LED, then the camera should also not work. Many would argue that this is the more flawed design.

Those are mild inconveniences — but how is it not better than what we have today? Today you can't use your laptop charger to charge anything but your laptop (you can pass through your laptop's USB, but that's another cable) a

Not to mention that you have another avenue on being strong-armed out of making a successful purchase as an owner-occupied. Trying to beat developers in an up-and-coming neighborhood is already a nightmare.

That's just basic business logic, no?

You can even do some very low level security that way right? Like "Alexa tell me if you hear a loud noise in the basement while I'm at work"

Curious if anyone knows: is the Bloomberg terminal interfacing directly with one of the major CRS systems like Amadeus?

I'm certain this designer charges $1000+ for custom logo design.
