Does it actually use the position of the car in front to determine where to steer? My Honda will sense cars in front of me but will only use that info to adjust speed when using cruise control.

An iTunes user can't sell a purchased MP3 because that would create a copy which would violate the author's copyright. In the redbox case no such copying actually occurred. At worst they've only violated Disney's terms o

I thought maybe the article was going to be about how the Russians are beating us at the cyber-propaganda game.

Based on the reviews, it sounds like it used to do exactly what I described above, but then they changed it so it can only read the first two steps of a recipe, making it kind of useless. I wonder why they did that?

Is there an alexa app that can understand recipes? I hate having to constantly check the recipe when I'm cooking. It would be nice if I could just say things like "ok, I added all the spices, what's next?"

All of the useful little tools that google shows you based on your search could now be subject the same treatment. If I search for "Seattle weather" google shows me a nice weather forecast at the top of the results (courtesy of we

The article doesn't really provide many details so it's hard to tell. I don't think they can order a wiretap under CALEA since, like you said, that only applies to telecom providers. And even if they determined that WhatsApp

They are not "above the law" because there is no law that they've actually broken. As far as I can tell there's no law against providing secure end-to-end encryption to your customers, and no law requiring that encrypte

A wiped phone is evidence that you obstructed an investigation. You can go to prison for clearing your browser cache.

I use a wireless mouse that sits on my coffee table. I also have a wireless keyboard that I keep on the shelf underneath the coffee table, but most of the time I don't need it.

Even if you use nothing but touch events on IOS, the 350ms delayed click can still cause problems. For example, suppose you want a button to pop open a small form over the top of the page and automatically focus the first input in the for

Seems unlikely, since the article mentions that Google has already stopped using the code in question.

Pretty cool. Interestingly, it seems to me like it's getting the vibrant colors just slightly off. Like the red from the dress should be brighter, and the yellow from the car should be a bright yellow instead of a mustard color. Is m

My company's app is slowest in Firefox too. Most noticeably its the CSS3 transitions that are slow and chunky compared to all the other main browsers. It doesn't really affect the usability too much, but it still annoys me that I

These icons get warped in Chrome when you set the zoom level to 125%. For example: the roof on the house in the lb-home icon is no longer centered.

I have a Typescript project with over 200k loc and over 200 ts files. The current compiler takes a while to build the whole project, but still under 10 seconds. However, you can also set it up to compile when you save a single ts file, wh

I'd say that (based on comments here) the real different is intent . People seem to be suggesting that the exact same experiment, but measuring ad-clicks instead of emotional state, would be a perfectly fine A/B test. It doesn&#x

That's a good point about the distinction between studying the website and studying people, but I'm not sure that's really the line that was crossed. If the study had asked "Does this newsfeed algorithm make people sad?&

Is it an ethical breach if I don't get informed consent from users when I do A/B testing on my website? Or is it only unethical if I publish the results afterwards? Or is it only if I'm actually trying to affect the user&#x27

That's very good news. Now I just want a way to turn off the 300ms tap delay without needing fastclick.

Wow, I've never even heard of that one. I'm guessing it didn't make the list because this more of a list of projects screwed up by a single miscalculation, not just big project failures.

I see no reason why it wouldn't catch up. What makes a good UI on a native app? Fast responses and clean animations? Fancy transparency and 3D effects, perhaps. There's no reason a web browser couldn't do these things. Web U

Another feature that's not talked about much is its support for AMD and CommonJS modules. So you can easily just add an "import moduleName = require('my/module/path');" to the top of your typescript file.

Yeah, anyone can easily modify a file so it doesn't match the blacklisted hash and share it with their friends. Once you start sharing it with millions of people across the internet though, the copyright holder is likely to find out ab

I wonder how much damage it would take to bankrupt even the reinsurers. Would a hurricane Katrina sized disaster hitting every city from SF to Vancouver do it?
