It's only going to get worse before it gets better. Coronavirus has showed up at a number of college campuses in the US, and now it's just a waiting game of another week to see if there's going to be any large scale spread in

Kids have short attention spans, if you put them in front of a computer, why the heck would they pay attention to boring class stuff, instead of play a game or watch youtube? Learning hands on is essential when you are young. Homeschooling

This is absolutely NOT a good thing. Or 'awesome'. You cant teach a class full of elementary schoolers 'from home'. You cannot manufacture electronics 'from home'. This is going to have lasting, major effects o

Yeah, my t480s has been pretty good with arch as well. Except the wifi is sometimes finicky, but I've experienced stuff like that on nearly any machine. My Dell xps 13 surprisingly had a couple issues, though it was a ~2016. I heard th

What do you mean anecdotal? I'm really confused at how you even came up with that number. Unless you have some type of firsthand experience.

How do you know who has been in these breaches? Are websites like haveibeenpwned doing business with hackers to get a hold of emails and websites? And just because one person discovers an open server does that mean that hackers have also di

For who though? I would hate to see the blame placed on some low-level database engineer. And there's no way you could blame the executives.

I just said they need a screen. And to display video you need a screen somewhere, so yeah it's true. And the government does mandate all new cars to have a backup camera monitoring system.

cuz its just funny. If you saw little robots all over the place run by facebook or $mega_corp, wouldnt you just strand them for fun? Cameras are easily defeated by a hoodie and a mask. Bricks from bridges could kill people and just damages

You cant have other people on the road then. If I was a protestor or bored teen, I would find it pretty fun to block self driving cars' cameras and sensors, stranding them and creating chaos. Imagine a line of self driving cars just bl

They could do something like the apple watch. There would be a strong magnet on the bottom of the phone and a miniature coil? Or just like a couple contact pads on the bottom exclusively for power. Kinda like the smart connector. They could

Its speedo error. Most cars and motorbikes slightly overestimate speed, and the effect is more pronounced at higher speeds. This is just to be on the safe side with regards to speed, as tire tread, tire size, temperature, etc. can all have

They should. It wouldn't be hard for carmakers to add a camera at the top of the windshield. The US already requires every new car to come with a backup camera.

Theres no way a tesla roadster is beating the current record holder, the 919 evo. The roadster would be magnitudes heavier, plus it wouldn't have the aero for the downforce. https://youtu.be/PQmSUHhP3ug

There is some material about improved build times on the apple site. I'd say that's aimed directly at programmers. Also some stuff on machine learning, but that could be in the domain of other fields. But yes, the majority of mark

Oh. Thanks for clearing that up. I go to a UC, so I'm pretty interested in where all our money is going. It just seems like so much goes in, but the ROI isn't exactly there for a lot of students.

I liked my old xps 13. The build quality was probably the best of any non-mac machine I've used, and the carbon fiber is a cool design choice. But the coil whine was awful and it felt like they tried to make a workstation out of a 13 i

Ok, so what's stopping one party from changing the data? How would one party prove they have the right data? Is this like blockchain messaging?
