Will unlocking a phone require that photos are uploaded to Apple cloud, or is it something that will stay on the phone only? Just curious - I don't plan on buying an iPhone X and will probably move back to Android after my sole Apple purchase, an iPhone 6s, dies.
I drive just about 9000 miles per month, less than the national average of 12000 miles per month. I should pay less road taxes every year, and people doing more than 12000 miles per year should pay more. Why am I subsidizing other people's car usage and when will everyone driving over 12000 miles be able to pay their road maintenance fees on their own?
OR
I don't have kids. Why should my property taxes go to schools that I or my family will not be using?
OR................insert pet peeve here............
Electric cars are a good thing, and any help we can give to making them mainstream is also a good thing.
As an Indian, I'm horrified at this. While I appreciate that India is very far from deploying any driverless cars, to enforce a policy forbidding the tech is really short sighted. If we listen to Gadkari and his like, all administrative work should be done with pen and paper, all accounting should be entered manually into a ledger, all farming should be done by pulling a plow manually.
It is rather unfortunate that someone like him is in power.
I have an iphone 6s, and I see the location icon come on when I check the weather (using the native app), because it is set to reporting local weather. Mostly, it goes away in a bit - but I have seen the icon stay on many times even when I have moved away from the weather app. I have to manually kill the weather app to make the location tracking go away.
Woah, hold up. This is possibly the first weapon that actually makes sense. Want to stop that truck far away? Target the engine, or the tires, long distance. No collateral damage and one cleanly disabled enemy vehicle.
Now if only you could see red or blue lines whizzing in the air:)
That doesn't need a high priority channel. High priority channels should be for emergencies. A self driving car should be able to handle emergencies without an internet connection, otherwise the technology isn't ready.
A lot of things Mark Zuckerberg says and does make he think he wants to enter politics. Most others will delegate and work on compiled reports - this attempt to reach out to the masses seems very politician like.
They just optimized it and reduced the unnecessary letters. The length of the new slogan (6 characters) is 0.6 times the old slogan (10 characters). Saves a bunch of ink.
For most places, urban planning is too late - the houses are built, offices are built, shopping areas are built.Unless you propose destroying one of these and moving them, urban planning is a wash - nothing can be done. What Elon Musk has proposed is a potential solution that will solve some of the commute issues - and if it actually takes off, we might see planning around this underground transportation. Imagine - shopping, offices, houses being built underground as transportation moves underground. No more heating or cooling issues, and with TV screens getting better and better, it would be easy to replace windows with appropriate screens to mimic day to night transitions. The surface would be dedicated to farms and gardens and forests - sci fi come to reality, as it were.
For Hackintoshes to become popular, presumably, there is some software on a Mac that isn't available elsewhere. What is driving the Hackintosh need? Personally (note the qualifier), I totally fail to see the need for a Hackintosh - I think all operating systems are fairly advanced and usable now, and it doesn't take long to be proficient in Linux or Windows (or FreeBSD or whatever). Why push a path that isn't supported by Apple? Just use Linux (or Windows) instead - whatever alternate platform your preferred tools work on.
Will they be courageous and get rid of the charging cable? Wireless charging only! Waterproof! All existing charger cables obsoleted in one swoop, new charging stations needed by the bedside, in the office, in the car - money, money everywhere.
Companies needn't care about employees to see the potential in this. If the amount of money the company saves out in terms of sick leave, insurance premiums is more than the amount of money needed to hire more workers and reduce the length of the workday, this may make sense anyway.
The comparison only makes sense if the submitter was trying to tie up the story to the pressure on our roads at commute time. Working from home, cycling and walking are alternatives to driving to work.
A one person call center that receives requests and books rides for people?
Free public phones/tablets at multiple locations to allow users to call and request a cab?
There are multiple ways to solve that - for a town of 32k people, this may indeed work out well. In my town of 56k people, here in California, public transport is not useful - the closest bus stop is 3/4 mile away from my place (and I live close to down town). We use Uber for any travel where we cannot/don't want to take our car - a subsidized Uber would be really useful.
I switched away from Android a while ago, mainly because I could not control permissions individually per app. E.g., I couldn't install a news app and just deny access to my location - I could say yes to all permissions and install, or no to all permissions and skip installation. Will that be addressed?
I don't see this as a downside at all, or even an upside for that matter. Should I care? I don't like to own dvds, I rarely watch the same movie multiple times. If I can rent and watch it, so much the better - less cost, less waste. Clearly, I'm not alone in this, given the figures. If dvd sales are replaced with streaming rentals, who is affected adversely? Apart from the handful of companies that produce the dvds and their packaging?

Weeelll .. if I RTFA I wouldn't be on Slashdot, would I? And D...E - thanks :)

I don't know much about cryptocurrencies, but since this isn't physical tender, can't hacked currency be invalidated?

Whoosh! That's the sound of the new Tesla flying electric vegan ICanHazCheezburger loving car passing overhead.
That would make MacOS users patrons of Whole Foods :)
Surely you mean eelevating news.

Insurance premiums are a factor of how many insurance claims are made. If the number of claims made goes down, premiums will also go down.
Companies needn't care about employees to see the potential in this. If the amount of money the company saves out in terms of sick leave, insurance premiums is more than the amount of money needed to hire more workers and reduce the length of the workday, this may make sense anyway.
