You know, I'm sure there's a difference between Google Now and Google Assistant, but I can't even muster up enough enthusiasm to look it up. These things never work very well.
Let us know when they're at Jarvis-level, and we'll bother with installing one again.
There will be a point where it will be cheaper to just run "one" driver, replicated millions of times, instead of paying millions of drivers, yes. It might not be today, but eventually the two lines on the cost chart will cross.
As for maintenance on the cars, I expect Uber to wait until this technology is in most cars, and then they'll still "borrow" your car, so that you'll still be responsible for insuring, maintaining, etc. You'll just get a vastly reduced rate than Uber drivers do today, since Uber just needs the use of the car, not the car *and* you.
300k to 400k, huh? I'm a fan of Tesla, and I even have one of these pre-ordered, but I'm willing to bet their yearly output won't be 1/10th of that.:) I expect to see 50k out the first year, and another 50k out the next. The rest of orders will either be cancelled by that time or they'll just be waiting much longer.
How easy would that be, though? The way cmd and powershell works is fundamentally different: cmd is string-based, like bash, but powershell is object-based. Powershell really is a different animal entirely once you start using it.
Funny you should bring this up, because my company (which will not be named) has been doing this since the '08 financial crash in the US. We employ tons of developers and support staff in Alabama and Mississippi who work either full-time at home, or in rented office space. They generally get paid about 40% of what their counterparts on the coast get paid, and are happier than pigs in shit. The quality of work is the same, regardless of geographical location.
Oh yeah -- the lesser (lol, sorry, I mean completely non-existent) labor laws in AL and MI help, too.
It's funny you should bring this up, because my company (that won't be named) has been doing this exact thing since the '08 crash. We have tons of programmers, developers, and more, all in Alabama and Mississippi. They work either full-time remote or at rented office space. They get paid about 40% their counterparts on the coasts, and they're happier than pigs in shit.
The lower (lol, sorry, I mean completely non-existent) labor laws in these states help quite a bit, too.
Cross-check the IMEI of the phone against store inventories for when it was sold; pull CCTV camera footage for the store; put your face through face-recognition
Don't you always love how half of the problems people have with "smartwatches" (battery life, sucks as a time piece) don't exist with a Pebble watch? Pebbles are so different, when someone asks me if the one on my wrist is a "smartwatch," I always say "no; just a watch."
Don't worry, I've got the solution to our Win XP upgrade issue -- it's a weird forked version of Chromium I found on some website. I'm sure it's super safe.
THANK YOU. Been saying this for years. My organization, after getting tired of managing Blackberries just this month, started moving to iPhones.
Windows Phone has been around for five or six years -- you'd think MS would've tried to get into the business world with their phones by now, but nope. We would've loved buying a bunch of phones that just integrated with everything we're already using, but now we're having to get it working on iPhones.
Not quite -- it's more like Chevrolet giving a public demonstration about how easy it is to get out of their cars in an accident, and then the person doing the demonstration gets stuck in the seat belt. Then, to finish the demonstration, they have to perform it again while not wearing a seatbelt.
Reading the article, it seems the US was on its way to building one like this, but ran out of money. Kinda par for the course with public-funded projects in the US these days.
And that's too bad. It seems like the established space-faring, rocket-launching community is against tourism as being "below" them, but I'd still bet it's economically viable -- there are many communities, towns, states, and even entire countries that base their economies off of tourism. It's not the best long-term economic plan, but it'd definitely work in the short-term to get space travel to become commonplace, which is all we really need.
You know, I was going to reply with a snarky comment about how "Can we all just admit to ourselves that we'll probably never see Microsoft programs on Linux", but seeing how Microsoft has been changing ever so slightly recently, I'm not sure anymore. They do seem a bit more inclined with their new CEO to be present everywhere and to be seen as more of a service you can use anywhere, but I'm sure they'd have to balance this with the resources necessary they'd have to assign to making them work, and work well, on Linux.
I never thought I'd see their programs for Android either, though, but it has a vastly greater market share than any sort of Linux desktop.

Don't meet with your managers in your off-time, at your house, for anything, especially if they're women
If someone screams at you on the phone hang up
These are great suggestions
Wait folks, don't scold him -- his alternative facts show that he actually *did* have the first post.

Hey, the evas in Evangelion seemed to do pretty well with 5-min batteries and huge power cables the rest of the time...
Oh, I'm pretty sure of what I'd do with one.

"The second thing we need to do is to cut our population to maybe a quarter of what it currently is."
We don't need to do that at all. ...that will eventually take care of itself, the more we ignore it, one way or the other.

it's measured weirdly with an electric car -- I'll let someone with much more knowledge of it than me explain.
To IT Admin,

As we all get older, there's less and less people adding into the "slashdot effect" yearly...

There is no reason why this thing should have wireless access. :P A hardwired port for firmware updates should be it.

Almost sounds like the CST-01, which hasn't yet shipped one model, I think:
