I want cars to be sold with an empty double-DIN slot. If you want a radio or entertainment or whatever installed that should be from a third party. Anything else is anti-competitive practices and this would be solved if BMW and others didn't have the EU wrapped around their finger.
BMW should sell a service that allows drivers to cut people off in traffic, and disable that ability when owners fail to pay their annual fee. Because right now we have BMW drivers cutting people off in traffic for FREE.
where it can help talented programmers live a financially care-free life.
Security bug hunting and pen test is extremely competitive. Your 2.7x earnings means you're playing with a bunch of workaholics in an all-or-nothing system where partial credit is not an option. You can put 40 hours into a project, only to have victory snatched away by the guy who finished it in 35 hours.
Sennheiser, Audio Technica, Beyerdynamic, and Grado will be happy to sell you a new set of headphones that are compatible with XYZ standard. If you have to buy two headphones, one for audiophile home system and one for your smartphone, even better for them.
9:27pm on a Friday night would be pretty busy in the Mission. Butt he article didn't say what day. I would assume it would have been recent news so the night before (Thursday). But if it was last week Friday that would easily have been a busy crosswalk at that time of night.
That area is one of my drinking spots, lots of people bar hopping and inebriated. Usual crawl is from the BART station near 16th and Valencia and down to 20th and Mission St to Doc's Clock, Laszlo on Mission St between 21st and 22nd and finally end the journey at the BART on 24th and Mission. Walking the other way works too, it depends on if you want to walk then eat after you've worked up an appetite or eat then walk it off, usually ending up at Taquería El Farolito or some place near it. The drinking part occurs throughout, and is problematic because 5-6 stops means 10-12 drinks for us. Interns have surrendered part way through for being unable to keep up with the old men and our abused livers.
Another fun story is a homeless many broke a bottle on me (I didn't get hurt) when my friend refused to loan him a cell phone. Really lovely neighborhood at night.
None of those have their own style. SF Chinatown is basically Americanized Cantonese, and I would admit that it qualifies, but I can get better Chinese food in Milpitas or Fremont (two small Bay Area cities).
SF Japan town is pretty non-descript compared to other Japantowns.
The wharf has no cuisine, it's a tourist trap that shovels garbage copies of New England food that you find in any ocean side city. Some will argue that Cioppino is the wharf's cuisine, but strictly it is a North Beach dish and best versions are in North Beach.
Are there still the same three Russian restaurants in Richmond District? There are markets there that are good for those of us that know how to make Russian food at home, but otherwise it's not really offering any authentically unique cuisine.
Best Italian with it's own unique style in North Beach is at The Stinking Rose. Which isn't really Italian at all. Is Cioppino enough to make North Beach a destination? Honestly I don't like sour fish soup-stew with perhaps exceptions for some Thai cuisine, so I'm going to be pretty biased against North Beach making the list, but I could be wrong about it.
much of SF believes the rest of the world revolves around their epicenter.
NYC has the same attitude, except maybe 10X more extreme. But at least for NYC it is somewhat justifiable.
The problem with SF's Tenderloin is that it is named after NY's Tenderloin. Both are historically red light districts. Although SF's Tenderloin is becoming more gentrified over the last 30 years that it will probably need to be renamed.
unless the car is actually in the intersection itself?
I believe that's exactly it. It's not unusual for traffic to be backed up and blocking an intersection. Ideally you don't pull forward unless it's clear, but then a bunch of people turning right on red are going to take your spot. So you pull into the intersection if it is early enough hoping it doesn't turn red while you are still in there. (you can block intersections in California unless a sign says you cannot, of course other drivers won't be pleased but you're unlikely to get a ticket)
SF isn't the worst US city to drive in, but it's still a real shit show. Although the pedestrian and bicyclists are probably the worst behaved for a major US city.
There is a notch in the iPhone X display in order to meet the industrial design goal of an edge-to-edge display. I would have preferred a bezel-less design than some goofy notch, being different isn't always equivalent to being innovative.
Well Alphabet is a significantly larger company than Apple with a net income of nearly double ($90B vs $48B). But in terms of profit per phone, Apple is superior. In terms of size of the user space and making money in ways not directly related to hardware sales, Google is superior.
Maybe postmarketOS is the way out, the list of supported devices is very short, but theoretically it's a community driven Linux distro rather than Android's Google driven advertising platform.
Cold weather in Texas proves global warming false.
Unusually cold weather and winter storms in Texas probably should convince us that something is up.
I'm a bit worried that we might have icy winters and hot dry summers. But even if that happens we'll have deniers running around telling us "I told you so" about one thing or another.
Not really funny, more like off topic. The thread here is ChromeOS and Android, and their serious issues with forking and lack of long term vendor support. iOS's 35% market share is less relevant compared to Android+Chrome's.
The problem to solve is why vendors, including Google's own Nexus devices, can't manage to keep hardware support going past about 2.5 years. We're supposed to dump our devices in a landfill every 2 years because they are saddled with unresolved security flaws?
The realworld equivalent of ransomware doesn't exist, because people don't blindly follow orders from mysterious actors in the same literal fashion that computers do.
Extortion. Confidence scheme. Some of what we call "cybercrime" are not really all that new. Certainly the anonymity and exploiting the general technology ignorance of average people help these tricks work.
The's right let's go back to the Cretaceous period, before humans existed. We might as well give up as a species.
Of course the current carbon cycle doesn't match the cretaceous era. So even if we bring global temperatures and CO2 to similar levels is no guarantee that similar fauna will appear. The Earth could also run away into a barren wasteland as a cool Venus. (probably unlikely, but I think arguments that it's non-zero could be made)

Is there some way in which I can boycott, in protest, misbehavior of a corporation when I was not planning to buy their products ANYWAY?
You can stand on a soap box and complain. But realistically speaking if you aren't a customer then it's probably none of your fucking business.

The Mission is the only one with an authentic style of food, so probably the only district worth mentioning. Love me some Mission Burritos.

Is there any indication that Fuchsia will be Google-only, at least in the long term?
Could you give an example of crapware you've found on say a Chromebook? Or how about on a Nexus device?

*hikes up cyberpants* You kids git off my cyberlawn!
Cybercriminals = criminals that use computers.
Banks that don't use computers = haven't existed in decades. all banks us computers, yet we don't call them Cyberbanks.
Nobody says Cyberbusiness, or Cyberschool, or Cybermedicine.
We can't go back. The Sun is setting on this empire. Maybe the next one will get it right.
