Teacher: Are you telling me you memorized that fact when anyone with a cell phone can find it out in 30 seconds?
Martin Prince: I-I I've crammed my head full of garbage!
Teacher: Yes, you have.
How to spot someone with actual knowledge of something and someone who doesn't is to see who can filter out all the bullshit completely wrong returns in a Google search. As for googling stuff, if I hire you for the job you claim to be qualified and experienced in I don't expect you to be searching the internet to do stuff you've told me you can do. In many places I've worked if you did that you'd be fired for incompetence. They don't want employees who waste time having to search for stuff they should know.
But wouldn't it make more sense for the cab driver to use a computer to find the best route? The computer can know much more about the current traffic conditions and provide a much better route.
Taxis are allowed to go down streets blocked to all traffic other than buses and use bus lanes that normal road users can't in much of the UK. Unless you had navigation software which took this into account its of little use in the main.
The cabbies in the field wouldn't know the difference between a computer generated route and a human generated route. You don't need every cabbie to have the Knowledge to make it available widely.
They would know instantly they came to a set of traffic lights which said that only buses can go straight forwards and everyone else has to turn right and the route told them to turn right instead of continuing straight forward down the far faster and shorter bus route they are legally allowed to use.
Bus lanes save a fair bit and in many places in London allow you to go up an entire street which is blocked off completely to normal road users with the route the normal users having to take being a few times longer and a whole lot slower. That is why "The Knowledge" is invaluable in London and why Satnav loses out every time.
At least individual US states are ignoring what Trump is wanting to do and are going ahead with green energy despite his obsession with coal. The move by individuals and US states to green energy sources massively lowering demand for the energy generated by coal powered stations will be what ultimately brings the death of coal and there is nothing Trump can do about that. The only downside is how many tax payers dollars he spends trying to prop up a twitching corpse of an industry.
Still most of those car would be more fun with a electric motor.
Not really. The noise of a throaty engine and smell is as much of the appeal as the speed. That's why people would rather have a 400BHP V8 that makes a nice V8 growl than a 400BHP turbocharged 4 banger which makes a quiet whine.
The UK arrest warrant has nothing to do with the European Arrest Warrant. The UK one is for skipping bail. It doesn't matter whether or not the Swedish government is still pursuing him, he has committed a crime in the UK which is an arrestable offence regardless of his innocence of the charge he was facing.
He skipped bail, that is what the arrest warrant is for in the UK. It is nothing to do with extradition, it is nothing to do with the now discontinued EAW.
a bullshit machine designed to rape the US government and US states of tax dollars. Musk makes all these promises and when the time comes and the inevitable target is missed all you get is apologies and "we will learn from this". Tesla is a cult, it displays all the hallmarks of one including a gullible set of followers who'll believe any bullshit they're fed even though the facts are there for all to see.
Yeah such a shithole - worlds richest economy and manages to give free healthcare, free university education in most member states, a minimum 20 days paid annual leave and many many other rights to every single one of its citizens that the USA doesn't.
Brexit has nothing to do with it. There is currently a bill going through Parliament that will implement all current EU laws at the time of our exit in March into UK law.
Both Apple and Tesla do nothing special and their status is based on their hype machine rather than reality. Tesla for example has made many promises and claims in the past it hasn't lived up to yet, mostly in order to keep those Federal dollars rolling in, and Apple mostly innovates meaning it takes work others have done and repurposes it. It therefore comes as no surprise that both are falling behind companies that don't make wild claims about what they can do and that actually invent stuff.
Here in the UK we did away with paper logs and trucks are fitted with digital tachographs which record all vehicle movements. The driver has a digital smartcard they use with the tachograph which records all data and the tachograph will continue to record data itself if used without a card. The card stores at least 28 days of data, usually a few months, and the tachograph up to a year. Both can be read at the roadside.
I find it hard to get worried about an exploit which requires physical access to the machine because if a hacker has that it pretty much means it doesn't matter what you've done and whether or not an exploit exists they're going to be able to get access to your data. Once a hacker has physical access to your machine it is pretty much game over.
Seriously? THIS IS NOT NEW NEWS. I live in East Yorkshire. This offshore windfarm which will be four times larger than the worlds current largest has been planned for over half a decade and already has started to be built a few years ago, being built in four stages. Siemens even built a brand new Wind Turbine factory on Hull docks which was completed 2 years ago to build wind turbines and service the windfarm.
DeCSS let you reclaim the format of DVD. You no longer had to watch DVD content on devices "approved" by the coalition. It broke the power of the distributor to limit the way you or I can consume content.
Ah the altruistic bollocks excuses pouring out of the mouths of those who actually only want such software so they can get free shit. Be honest with yourself it is nothing to do about limiting the way you can consume content and everything to do with getting paid stuff for free. If it were about limiting content then nothing that is available on Netflix, Amazon or any other legitimate streaming service or any music available on Amazon or Itunes which is DRM free would be available on pirate websites. But it is, all of it. So you can shove your claim up your arse because that is where it belongs because it stinks of bullshit that much.
It also affects your ability to trust your system. When there is unauditable code, you have no idea of its malicious or poorly written. Thatâ(TM)s the problem. There are going to be asshats on here who say no one does code review anyway, but that isnâ(TM)t the point. The point is you become no longer free to even if you wanted to. In this day and age of all the software bugs, bad implementations and massive data breaches and hacks, how on earth is closed-source client-side code or hardware still a thing?
But you don't have any idea if it is poorly written or malicious if it is auditable. The fact that we have some absolutely mind blowing whoppers of bugs in FOSS, some of which have existed in software part of almost every distro and in some cases for several years is living proof that it doesn't matter a toss whether you can review the source code or not. Quite simply the number of people who have the competence to at a sufficient level as well as the time to do it as well is very very limited and for all intents and purposes it may as well be closed source in this respect.
Why the hell do people have their critical infrastructure on networks which aren't isolated and locked down?
Lets blame the victim for not locking the door, not the burglar eh? The better question is how sick in the head do you have to be to even think about attacking something like this?

Waze can't beat a London taxi driver because Waze will not route you down bus only lanes and streets which a taxi can also use.

Seems like a(n illegally) good business model would be to slap some GPS trackers on the black cabs and use that data to feed the GPS algorithms.
Pretty much every Android phone with Google Maps installed already does this. It is why Google Maps has very good live traffic.

Well, short of making them illegal,
That is exactly what is happening in the UK. As of 2040 new ICE vehicles are no longer allowed to be sold in the UK. https://www.theguardian.com/po...

I'll not hold my breath waiting for Apple. They're getting worse and worse lately.

And if you were truly being honest you would admit you have used it to view pirate content.
99 bugs in the code to be fixed, 99 bugs in the code. Fix a bug, wrap it up, 148 bugs in the code...

I've yet to listen to any DAB station which doesn't sound like overcompressed shite like listening to a 64kbps MP3 or worse.
