If it is anything like their algorithm on youtube it is not going to work. "Oh, you've wachted one cute cat movie? Let's spam you with cute cat movies because that's the only thing you're interested in".
Nope.
However, his statement for needless 10x improvement on the formet smacks more of justification FUD for delays than any real need.
That's not FUD. That's exaggeration to tickle your suppliers.
Bad workmanship and shoddy production quality ruined the British car in the 70's and 80's and the American car suffered from the same issues. Musk does not want Tesla to suffer that fate. They need to be on par with the Japanese and the Germans WRT build quality if they are to survive. The first series Model S was good enough for early adopters and has impressive technology, but it is not a very well built car.
If I search for books on dinosaurs, I don't really want to see a "romance" title about a guy and a t-rex having sex.
You may be trolling here, but this is actually an example of the creepy kind of censorship that is very prevalent these days. Just like Google removing KODI from their autocomplete.
This is censorship and censorship sucks. We should stand up and fight companies who do this, not make jokes about it. Because at the end, there will be nobody who can make the joke.
Google's system only took 6 characters to locate the entrance to my building on Google maps and 8 characters to locate the entrance to a local shopping mall. I mention the mall because yesterday I saw a man collapsed on the floor inside and people calling the ambulance. This would have been a compact way to specify which of the many entrances was closest to the patient.
If you know your location (you have to, in able for Google maps to give a Plus Code) you can also communicate that. It is just like what3words, it is an extra translation from data you already have. The implied benefits are only attained with extra hardware that make the system redundant because by having that extra hardware you can do it without this translation anyway.
First of all: this is not about child pornography.
Secondly, if it's about the children, then why not have the same measures applied to violence and smoking?
But this is not about the children, this is about puritan Americans wanting to hold other people to their own twisted idea of mores.
The fact that people think it is normal that old hardware runs slower for some reason as if there is some mechanical deteriation, like with a car engine where you will lose some power over time, is an issue of and by itself.
The problem with older hardware, when it is able to run new software, is that the newer software is usually more powerful, less efficient, larger, so the older hardware will struggle with it. Other than that, you're right. The mechanical stuff will inevitably break at some point but until that it will ususally work fine. I have a Nokia 6310i at home. Not only does it still work (after 15 years), it also turns on with almost a full charge of battery after I haven't used it in over a year. And snake runs as fast as I remember it, maybe even a bit faster because I get slower in my old age:D The ony thing is that it needs some padding between the battery and the shell to make te connection work properly. That's mechanical wear.
Very nice, are you ready to pay for a smartphone like you pay for a durable product like a car? A decade of usable life can be arranged as long as you are willing to accept tradeoffs such as price, weight, form factor and features. Not interested? Than STFU. Market delivers what customers are asking for.
Methinks that when I shell out $1000 for an I-phone, it is a durable product. You may have a point with el cheapo $50 smartphones, but then they break. They do not suffer from planned obsolesence.
This is a classic example of the "we have to DO SOMETHING!" bullshit, a variation of the "think of the children!" kind of thinking...
I totally agree. I have a small personal website that hosts some stats about my server (disk usage and such) and hosts pictures I want to share with people.
Why would that site be unsafe? I use no cookies, I do not require logins. Why would my site be branded like that because some has-been company pushes their agenda?
PostgreSQL was suggested but discounted because "there was no PAID support".
Ah yes. That same argument came up in my work when I wanted a proper editor (a mere text editor!). No, that was impossible because there were no (implied: Microsoft) options that were supported. I was not allowed to take just any freeware editor of the net and install it because that was "unsupported software".
You know what is dangerous? Hydroelectric energy from artificial dams.
Read up on Dam failures . Not all failures there are accidents and not all dams listed there were used for hydroelectric energy, but just the Banqiao and Shimantan Dam failures which caused 171.000 fatalities. So: please build more nuclear reactors and less hydroelectric dams.
You found a method to get a square root easily!?! It has dumbfounded met since years that there is no key for that, but there is one for a cube root. What's also stupid is that all trigonometric function go to their inverse when you press the Inv key, but for some reason they did not find that necessary to implement for the square key. How logical is it that the inverse of square is square root and how stupid is it not to implement that.
Sometimes you really ask yourself if people actually use the software that they write... even once.
It all depends on the latency introduced. You can't really communicate with someone 100 metres away, so it is quite useless to talk about that and when when you do, you *know* sound will be delayed because of the distance. Someone standing on the other side of the room (let's say 10 metres) introduces 0.03 seconds of delay. That's hardly noticable. I have a TV that sometimes adds half a second delay between image and sound. That's maddening when you try to watch a snooker match.
If it's a server-to-server or client-to-server app, then a well-designed one will NOT require a refresh button.
Either because clients and servers are well-written AND state changes occur using a well-defined protocol that ensures synchronization
Or they are broken. Yes they are. The email client in Androi 5.1 (and I suspect others) is broken. It seems that when you are on a wifi network that requires some form of accepting an agreement but you haven't done that, then emails don't get send. And they won't get send when you have accepted. And there is no refresh or resend button. Nothing.
You will need to send another mail to get the stupid thing to notice it has one sitting in the outbox waiting to get send.
But then again. All Google produts are beta, aren't they.
I agree. I once bought a keyboard with extra buttons for media and such and one of them was a reset button and it was conveniently located above the escape button.
After hitting it three times the first day I disabled all media buttons. Nothing so annoying than a single key that has such an impact and that is so easily pressed.
There is nothing wrong with CTRL-ALT-DEL. That Gates thinks it is just shows how bad he is at designing things.
5) *shrug* whatever the key image looks like is irrelevant to the story.
No it's not. In the facebook page they specifically ask "have you seen these keys". And then photoshopped in the image is a very old fashioned key that really has no place in a modern Toyota. Certainly if it is a hybrid it will only have a keyfob and will not need a physical key to put in a hole to start.
The whole story is BS from the beginning to the end.
My first thought: Will it be faster? Will it be lighter? No? Then it's not better.
Mozilla is suffering the Netscape disease where each subsequent version is bulkier en more awkward.
Nope, not the kind of people getting access to a TRS-80. And even if they did, it booted into BASIC so the first thing you did was write in BASIC. Even peeks and pokes were something advanced.
I remember them from highschool. First computer I ever touched, the craze was a stupid little program that let you move the full cursor on the screen using the arrow keys making it basically a drawing program. I had that program memorized and would type it in for the kids that were not that "tech savvy". I don't remember doing other programs but I must have because I tried to use the cassette recorder to store programs.

Humans and chimpanzees chare 98.8% of their DNA. I guess if 7% of your DNA changes, you really would be an alien.

You can touch me now. I guess I'm one of the few. No idea where the license is or how I can prove I did, but I did buy one.
I feel like Stef from UF.

I had to look that up. Sorry, but I can't have approbation for people who use difficult words.
Me, I'm putting my stock options in VR glasses and RealDolls.
I'll always think of them as the company that built the Apple ][, as the company that invented SCSI
Apple invented SCSI? I see no evidence of that. SCSI originates at Shugart and Apple only started using it after its standarization.
