I am absolutely shocked by this 'They knew that the methods inflicted on terrorism suspects would be painful, shocking and far beyond what the country had ever accepted. But none of it, they concluded, would cause long lasting psycholo

Yup, outside of the US is definitely where Google Maps data shines. Obviously just another anecdotal experience, but I've had Google instantly find places in Italy that Apple said didn't exist or gave a location very far from what

I think so. It's pretty unrealistic for one billion people to use GCP directly.

He is referring to the fact that a mic with poor speech to text models isn't that helpful. Which is not made up, Apple is definitely behind Google (and perhaps others) in the accuracy of their mobile speech to text.

I am also in the target demographic, and agree that it doesn't appeal to me. I would imagine that it would appeal to others our age. Most people I know aren't like you (presumably) and I, but I try hard to meet people with differe

Presumably you aren't the target demographic of the site. It's not meant to appeal to you.

My understanding is that Venus' surface conditions aren't great, and that one needs to be miles above the surface for tolerable conditions. That being said since you seem to have thought about this I'd be curious to read any

This is one of my favorite fallacies to kindly point out to friends and family. My brother was talking about not judging others personal choices. The way he phrased just made me laugh and reply that he was judging people who judge strangers

Yes, it's far cheaper to fly planes in the atmosphere than launch satellites into space. And you only need one plane vs multiple satellites for persistence over a location.

I've never understood why people paint companies making changes after negative publicity as such a scummy thing. Not all good changes can be thought of in advance. Making a change should not be viewed as scummy after negative feedback.

I did wonder why they would sell their Supercell stake considering they just introduced a new game which is looking to be another cash cow. This certainly does seem to put the sale into some perspective.

How do you know your house shouldn't be worth even more? I'm not actually saying that it is or should. I don't have a clue where you live or what percentage of the total value 50K is, but that doesn't mean much.

While I, and probably who you are replying too, agree with you, it simply does not work that way. An easy way to see it is look at the price of computer components in USD and GBP or euro. You will see many with the same or very similar nume

We've made impressive progress but even with computer vision there is still a lot to do. For example, it's great that we can recognize certain objects are in a picture, but a lot of real-world applications depend on the exact loca
