Hopefully this is a signal that Apple is going to take steps to improve Siri. If Apple can find a way to get the best of both worlds from data privacy and machine learning then it will have been well worth the wait.

My theory is that these hotels were the very first to get wifi, when it was a premium feature. Because it works or perhaps because of contractual obligations with their service provider, they're reluctant to change their model now. Th

Yeah, probably a bad example. A screen on a laptop that nobody has admin rights on to properly dim might be a better case.

Spoofing AIS is a common practice. It's not unusual to see a "Warship" on AIS - especially when navigating in crowded areas. Ex: https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/details/ships/shipid:45

The light distraction thing has been taken into account on all ships I've been on, including warships. Everything that can be dimmed is dimmed, normally to the point where it's not really usable without a hood or turning up the br

Perhaps not. Frigates take a long time to plan and execute, a Coast Guard ship is comparatively more agile. It's not unfeasible that the bridge on a ship going in to service today would have been designed 10 years ago.

I've done watches on both. When you're really exhausted a flying bridge is somewhat invigorating as you'd expect. I still think an enclosed bridge is better all round. You can have the tools and reference materials you need a

I agree, this looks like a failure of the bridge crew. Any modern radar can be configured to show CPA based on AIS and on the radar tracks. They can also be configured with an audible/visual alert. The radar was either ignored or misc

Ships have a siren (big horn). 5 short blasts is "you're about to hit me". The tanker absolutely should have sounded that as soon as it became apparent that something was wrong. They also absolutely have radars, and normally

It's better for a warship to be light and maneuverable than heavy and cumbersome. The days of slinging shells at each other are pretty much gone - and no amount of armour is going to save you from Exocet [1] in the way that getting out
