I've been to Dubai, and other parts of the UAE, a few times. It can be enjoyable for short durations, but I am not sure I'd want to live there long term. I am not saying the things you mentioned do not happen, but they're not

Would be cool to rollover the unused guesses from the solved ones to the remaining ones.

This is particularly obvious on American Airlines. EVERY flight I took last year had the FA's telling how this one special flight qualified for a very rare offer... to open a credit card and get some base miles for free. I feel bad for

How long before we see this website as the source for some "hacker sequence" in a movie where a person wearing a black hoodie states they are "... working on cracking their SHA-256 encryption, should only take a sec."

But your gripe seems to be centered around something they never claimed as a selling point initially. Just because they do not have the coverage of other satellite systems does not mean it is still a beta.

Nobody working in machine vision is surprised by this. We are a LONG way from having self-driving vehicles as a general thing, particularly when Tesla wants to rely on MV as their source of environment analysis.

Yes... I have a fair bit of experience here.

Tesla is making dishwashers now?

Can't comment on this specific cost, but ~20 years ago when I worked at Ford I remember seeing a little poster on the wall celebrating how they value engineered $200 or so out of a Taurus by replacing or eliminating a lot of small part

As a counterpoint, I loathe voice control, I just want to push a button. I'm not saying this just as an counterpoint-for-the-sake-of-arguing, I don't use voice control on anything - phone, TV, home automation, car, etc. I know man

In the past you could get film processed at most drug stores and many larger supermarket style stores like Walmart, Meijer, etc. Many times you could get the entire process done in one hour or less. Now I cannot recall the last time I saw

Gave up on Teamviewer subscriptions years ago because of crap like this. I paid for a full license for a software rev that did everything I needed (basic remote desktop). They upped the version number and of course do not have version cross

They should show an analogy between capacitors and water hammer preventers. And maybe inductors to pressure/expansion tanks.

I've used both quite a bit for various things. The biggest differentiator is that Pixelblaze is built around the user being able to define their own patterns, while WLED is more built around getting a turn-key setup as easily as possib

Fortunately we're still quite a long ways away from self driving cars in the sense of truly driverless cars that can be relied upon to navigate safely on their own in random settings, like a city block.

Having been involved in the design and specifications of a number of hardware products over the years, my experience has been different. You cannot predict all the possible future requirements of a product, the best you can do is make a rea

Is it specifically planned obsolescence, or just case of technology evolving? Do you think Apple or Google, when making the decisions on browser upgrade-ability, anticipated javascript changes that would break common sites and force users t

How so? I often fill my tank much like this, making note of the current year and the precise amount of cash I have on hand. It might be a regional thing, but I felt it was very realistic.

Loved Sneakers when it came out, it was one of the few computer/technology movies that seemed to make an effort to get things right. Or, at least as close to right as you can in a movie. Side story, the article mentions the Universal b

For the most part, human detection capabilities of modern NNs are very good. This would include detections from a variety of camera angles and resolutions. There are already a lot of labeled training sets available with people in various po

FTR I've owned and captained boats on the Great Lakes, New England, and now in Florida for about 30 years. My experience differs from yours.

It can be problematic, yes. If two vessels are approaching each other on a collision course, one is generally considered the give-way vessel, and the other is the stand-on vessel. As the names imply, one is supposed to alter course to avoid

However they can be moving under sail AND power simultaneously. It's not uncommon.

by brk 5y ago
Eh, it goes both ways. Plenty of sail boat operators that do not realize when operating under power they are now a power boat, regardless of sails deployed, and must abide by "power boat" rules, which among other things means they

>Spitballing. Enforcement: make distribution of CCTV video undisclosed via court order criminal offense. The same way gun ownership laws have curbed the illegal gun ownership/use problem? Or, do we just keep stacking laws endlessly

* London is the surveillance capital of the world* That's only because China does not release much information publicly about their surveillance systems, but many parts of China are most likely far more surveilled than London.

Hardly sounds trivial, and how would you ever enforce or manage that? Also, that is totally counter to the current (US) laws that basically state you can record video (not audio) of any publicly viewable areas freely. What you propose would
