That’s very frustrating - as I mentioned in another comment above, we had this tech (using infrared) back ~2005 and it worked pretty reliably.

The technology is amazing, as seen in previous demos, but how much of it is actually possible in the phone? The video is very underwhelming, showing simple wave motion that was possible using IR, Motorola had it even before smartphones over

My first thought was related to this: hhow is it possible that one moment the company is ready for an IPO, with all the due diligence that comes with it and backing of financial giants, and then next month be desperate for cash? Isn’t there

The inputs to those functions might be coming from external data sources, or aggregated. These have a cost too. But mostly, it just adds up. At a thousand features, you have a 0.05ms budget for each. Without taking into account network la

I heard they already started doing this in Japan! Jokes aside, it’s interesting that the article doesn’t mention city zoning rules - aren’t those the main cause of such shortage?

It’s the other way around, the policy was enforcing specific (preferred) pronouns. But they didn’t get to force her to do anything, she was fired before having a chance to violate it.

“No tangible benefit” is a very weak assumption. Upgrading to new APIs means familiar UI controls, possibility of integration with system features - off the top of my head, iCloud copy & paste, versioning, handoff, low power/data m

On the other hand, as a user, this is one of the reasons I switched to Macs a decade ago. The apps available were of extremely high quality and actively supported. If something with a GUI hasn’t been updated in 20 years, chances are it’s no

None of what you mention is agile, where did you get that? It’s motto is “people over processes”.

This, and undefined values. Will be of huge value for dealing with protobuf data, where all keys are optional.
