Self driving cars eventually need to be able to work in places other than deserts and moderate coastal areas. You need "boots on the ground" so to speak; you can't really break new ground remotely, on the problems they need

You could have just linked to http://verbalexpressions.github.io instead of spamming all the repositories. Also, about half of them are out of date by 3 or more years.

Yep, it's pretty antiquated. Wells Fargo only added the ability to transfer money to an account number online a couple years ago and I think it still only works with some banks.

Not in the US they haven't. I've certainly watched it enough to know the hoops they can jump through, the long method: Check is scanned by a machine at the register and a modem or network check happens to make sure the account is

When I see these when I'm out biking, all I can think of is "Man, the rolling resistance on that bike must be immense." I live in the Midwest so we can get some snow but funny enough, I never see those bikes out in it. Also

Nope. Look at the graphs for Windows 7 and Windows 10(assuming that's the dotted line) over the whole recorded time starting in 2008. Windows 10 is roughly following Windows 7's trajectory, if not exceeding it a little bit. It

They'd still be facing the same dealer and local legislative roadblocks that Tesla has been triggering states to create or enforce since they started and they can't just bully through that. It will require lobbying, time and poss

Who is writing these horrible systems for Amazon? From the article, the way they detect page reads sounds like the simplest use case that a novice developer would come up with. Kindles can definitely record information and upload it later

You "disable" the GC in Unity by never allocating anything new after initializing the game. It's a great learning experience to update code to this and it's practically required for mobile.

In my opinion, that's a third type of merger: When two ailing companies merge to try to save each other. Best avoided as well.

@ergothus The adults ordering from Amazon when it started out were the kids were ordering books from catalogs in elementary school 20+ years before that. It wasn't a crazy idea at all, in fact, I'd say people were already well pr

Windows Firewall has the annoying habit of letting stuff work until one day it just starts doing its job and doesn't. Typically this is through user prompts that either get spacebar'd away due to focus stealing* or blocked becaus

I'm not sure if it was explicitly addressed in the show but I believe it was a tweak to the gate control. Another bug squashed!

Self checkout is wildly faster for me, even with computers that feel like they're running on hardware from 15 years ago. I can have my basket organized in the same order I'm going to bag it, scan it in, bag it efficiently, pay an

Infrastructure is a bad word to Wall Street, it implies it's no longer a growth stock. Wall Street will burn TWTR to the ground if it doesn't keep growing because no one on Wall Street cares about value, they want consistent quar

"Easily"? I thought it was a system level thing? I don't have to sign in to Windows with my developer account(I only use a local account) to use Visual Studio or access the account MSDN/community stuff.

And the boogeyman is that Microsoft will automatically patch it out in the future. Microsoft has earned the doubt but I don't think it will happen. Signing every build during development of new products/features would be very on

You don't have to necessarily explode it, just de-orbit it. If you're going to hit it ballistically, then you've already got the capability to de-orbit without risk of cascade.

The legal precedent set would compel Apple to do this for every phone the FBI brought them. The process of unlocking the phone doesn't matter. It's the precedent set that is at issue.
