TLDR for every piece written about this, it's still safer than a human driving alone, period. When used properly, it's vastly safer, and when used improperly, it's probably still safer but only just...the thing to consider is

I think maybe you don't understand what autopilot actually does on a plane...but regardless I agree it was a dumb name that made sense to engineers but should have been shot down immediately by marketing and legal.

How can it be the "default" when you can't use it on a Fusion Drive or any system volume?

Does anyone else think the death of The Dissolve was part of step zero for this?

I'm not really sure this is revolutionary or even "news" when high school wrestling coaches have been telling kids to sleep with their bedroom windows open to cut a couple pounds for decades? (no idea if that works, always wr

Do we really need the reddit headline editorialization on HN? When you're working with NASA, and they officially help you with the encryption, you're not "seizing" anything. This is a very cool and interesting story with

Pittsburgh is a pretty amazing place right now, because it's a recovering rust belt city that's managed to transition from manufacturing (steel) to services (health care, banking, higher education, technology firms) pretty well bu

If Apple really wants to impress nerds with the "Yosemite" reveal, they should loop "Captain Kirk is climbing a mountain, why is he climbing a mountain?" as people take their seats. ^_^

I find this article directly interesting, as a parent, but also sort of "meta" interesting as someone who's always been fascinated by the differences between shame-based societies and guilt-based ones. I'm not discountin

This sounds pretty reasonable, and I have absolutely no technical expertise or personal experience with which to refute it, but does this fit with the claim by Rolls Royce that the engines' feedback systems were still talking to them w

"Linguistic analysis" and...pretty much every facet of evidence there is. Newsweek is such a joke.

It seems to me like someone excitedly posted this without really understanding what Krita actually does, or perhaps the differences between an app like Photoshop, an app like Illustrator, and an app like Corel Paint.

I guess it's a good thing for them that's almost entirely impossible then...so I guess they'll just have to enjoy ignorance.

I think we should also look up the exact details of how "stuck" they are with Intel, if this new-Mac-Pro-like-thing ends up being as revolutionary as some hope...I seem to recall way back at the "switch" to x86 that there was some deal with

The positives for having a standardized, compatible, usable national data bank are amazing...but the negatives for giving such unprecedented access to privatized ventures scares the hell out of me and seals the deal on deciding to send my c

It will most likely show up first in bodies that look like the C300 and C100 do today. http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/professional/products/professi...

Have you ever played with a Sony RX-100? Nowhere near full frame, but like four times the sensor area of a typical pocket camera. I got one recently and it's nothing short of astonishing for what it looks like on the outside and how it feel

I think it's possible you might be unfamiliar with just how sensitive current sensors are, for photographic use? You can easily capture these kinds of images in very high resolution with a very affordable DSLR body today. The trick is captu

by trackofalljades 14y ago
You're right, about photography. In video, however, you need tons and tons and tons and tons of sensitivity in addition to dynamic range because you can only use fast "shutter" (electronic, not physical, of course) speeds. Needing to create

I'm confused, and a little depressed, that anyone would describe four miles per hour as "a light run." Maybe, if you're four feet tall? Also, I agree with the "April Fools" question but I'm afraid the answer is "no, it's just TechCrunch."

"That is a very responsible and logical response from the American people, when faced with rising costs in areas where they are essentially powerless." I think the core problem with the presumptive "conclusion" is that it leaves out the who

Okay, I must be missing something...forget about sexual positions or suffocating infants for a second: how on earth do you keep this thing clean?

Neat writeup, now please please please search and replace "MAC" with "Mac" so it doesn't look like it's all about Ethernet hardware addressing or cosmetics? ;)

Well more importantly, both sides will have to be "responsible" for a new app to become available. Google has to make it, and then Apple has to allow it into the app store. So that's going to be fun.

If they have made any such announcement, their search engine sure can't seem to find it for me...

I'm pretty sure that identifying someone for their sexual preferences first and their career accomplishments second is a textbook example of bigotry...so I'm gonna have to go ahead and disagree with the author here. I'm not slapping a high
