This is more algorithm than software isn’t it? and I suspect MPEG2 has had hardware implementations since day one - so I’m not sure it’s that clear cut. And frankly, at the time it was state of the art and I imagine requires significant in

How many of the cars built today will still be on the road in 10 years? The average age of cars on the road today is 11 years. https://www.consumerreports.org/car-repair-maintenance/make-...

The huge used car market and the fact that ICE production will continue for as long as it is profitable muddies this timeline significantly. Sure ICEs could be legislated out of existence but that’d take a huge financial injection from the

Don’t you think that the number of recalls would be even higher without motor racing being used as a proving ground? If your airbag fires you’re already in an accident and might die anyway. You’ve already accepted that risk. There are proba

It may not be incorrect. It seems that if it was significantly affecting their bottom line it’d be a low-hanging optimization that they’d have tackled by now. FWIW this issue infuriates me also - to a degree

If I listen to the radio (speech) and then start to read and try to simultaneously listen to the radio it becomes incomprehensible. Quite weird.

The service center may have access to GPS location which offset any delay by a large margin. 911 can’t get that from an unconscious or disoriented driver. Besides the service centers exist for other purposes such as breakdown recovery, not

It’s doubtful that they would drop all their aces in response to Zen.

I really liked this but the notification requirement on iOS killed it for me. I can’t remember the exact details but it is (roughly) not possible to suppress authorization request notifications because on iOS notifications are the only way

I lived in Stuttgart for 10 years (I’m British) and the post-bombing photos of the city filled me with sorrow. 21000 long tonnes dropped on that beautiful provincial city. Sadly reconstruction was not as kind as it was in Munich (less money

Or perhaps it called revert but it wasn’t doing a git revert, it was doing a git checkout to simulate an SVN revert... I’ve seen this in at least one GUI. That kind of crap just makes it harder to unwind problems when things go wrong and t

the thing stopping people from switching from car ownership to using a car service is probably not the presence of a driver.

I’ll be convinced they are kicking ass when the Model 3 is shipping in promised volumes and there is no other competitor in sight. Getting 0-60 times through the application of inherit properties of electric motors doesn’t count.

What happens when an untrusted person that uses your PIN on a regular basis for legitimate reasons becomes untrusted? Now you need to reset your PIN and retrain FaceID? I hope IOS gives a warning when changing the PIN that if you think Face

I used Apollo Domain machines in the early 90s at university. We had a lab full of them, they were impressive even then. I saw the World Wide Web for the first time on one of those (NCSA Mosaic). I never looked into it’s history. Everythin

Maybe the concerned workers could lay the groundwork for their own future and enact change themselves by putting ‘culture fit’ aside and become proponents for older employees.

You can get an astronomical light switch that replaces the manual light switch that can do that and more based around actual sunrise/sunset time for $30 - it’s a little pricey but they just work.
