Actually reading and displaying the speed limit and your current speed works great. If you are diving in Germany for example, where there is no basic speed limit on the Autobahn but often they will limit your speed to 120 km/h for specific sections or traffic conditions (LED displays that change dynamically). So you are cruising at 200 km/h (aka low altitude flying) and you miss the 120 km/h sign, you instantly loose your drivers license. If you have a system, like I did with the car I rented this week end, that superimposes the current speed limit and current speed on a HUD, you need to willfully break the speed limit, you can't miss the small symbol hovering over your hood.
But technically I could run a app that is beneficial to my driving. This week end rented a car and got one with a HUD. It displayed three things, the speed limit, the current speed and the navigation instructions. It "floated" over the hood and I could read the information without taking my eyes off the street. This is VERY beneficial when you are currently doing a maneuver in heavy traffic. It also made the audio queues obsolete. (It had none.) Oh and this implementation of a speed limit indicator works, you see your speed and the speed limit all the time. You really have to willfully be speeding, you can't speed "by mistake".
The only thing the Google glasses need are a driving mode.
I totally agree with that sentiment. I think the guys at DigitalRev are either clueless about their options or are playing it out for the PR they get and the bad rap for GoPro.
Everybody I know want to be rich. They see all the nice toys, big cars, big house and all and they want it. Honestly I can understand that and that is what adds are targeting. But you need to instill and spread the knowledge, that you don't get rich by buying the new car or a new iphone. Try buying a car without a credit, that will solve multiple problems. First, it will get you ahead of yourself, the money you saved did work for you and second by the time you can buy the car, you will be in the mode, if I got so far, why not go a bit farther with this old car. If they can get in this mindset you get out of the instant gratification death race.
Notice how all adds for medicine in the US is feel good medication. Eat bad and have hart burn, don't fix your diet, get hart burn medication. Are down with your credit situation, don't fix credit situation, get you are "depressed" get some happy pills.
If you change the mindset, that everything needs to be solved instantly solve most of the add relate behavioral problems.
Except that "Can Innovation Be Automated?" is clearly answered with a bright and clear NO by the article and summary. They did not build a "innovation" software but a "redundant invention finder" software. Except that the word innovation is tossed around willy nilly and is basically a synonym for development (as in the D part in R&D). Note though that it is never used for research, that could actually lead to innovation. Sure the software may be useful, but I think more to a patent attorney, that an engineer. In my 10 year career as software developer I have never seen real innovation, just solving an old problem in a new context and it helps to know it was solved by others, but in the end you need to take the local specialties into account.
It totally agree, I use a Sennheiser CX 300 II in-ear headphone to shut up coworkers, that are in the same room. (No cubical, open office) I normally go with music, since that works for me, but nature sounds are great too. The headphones are passive noise canceling, as they muff right into the ear canal, similar to oropax. If you add any minor sound source you don't hear anything from the outside.
Yea that GPS thing works really well. I once leased a Mercedes B class that had the feature to warn you of speeding. Granted it did so only if you where 15km/h over; but the false positives this things had where terrible. For example leaving a town it would complain (loud auditory "Check Speed") for more than 1km after the sign. Best part was when the speed was 70km/h instead of the normal 50km/h, but the data was not up to date. The first thing I did when I could properly stop was turn off the feature. As a matter of fact, I don't speed (try very hard) and have never got a ticket in my life.
In Germany the TÜV ensures that the speedometer is up to 5% accurate. Then the speed cameras have accuracy of 5%. The result is that they give you a 10% bonus; but that is rarely more than the average speeder.
But that is a well understood problem on a macroscopic scale. The only thing they did war bring down the redundancy onto the chip. I don't think that it is that useful once a micrometeorite obliterates the entire chip.
The reason why most people here are rolling their eyes (or insulting) is because it is already solved. The problem is well understood; a few terms to feed to google: git, git-submodule, github, github organisation, gitosis, gitweb, mercurial
I like how the poster is super vague. What custom software does a non-profit need, that not written like 100 times. The lack of knowledge about github simply shows... not very technical and about to reinvent the wheel.
True that, but in the case of corporations it rather is a few (board of directors) or one (CEO/President) that do the thinking and many many do the executing. Few people have disproportional power.
Fun fact many jurisdictions the right is the other way around. You have to ask everybody or put up big signs that you are recording. This led to us needing to put up signs, because we where using machine vision to determine the vector field of a hydro engineering experiment. (You could only end up on camera, if you drowned in the experimental flow channel.)
Except that once space travel becomes feasible for more people, people will want to see the site. Best is I think it to build a visitor center / museum around it and shield that actual site, which is just a few hundred square feet.
It has been proven over and over again that the mere visit to the doctor and the placebo effect has a significant effect on the reconvalescens. It basically hinges on the fact that you feel better, understood and taken care of. It totally destroys the effect if you learn that half of the medication or treatment you get is actually just feel good or placebo medication.
As a software engineer for a Yahoo!-like company, I'm struggling to understand how someone could effectively design and implement software there without occasionally needing to make use of internal company resources (VPN). The prospect of storing source code and documentation on my laptop, allowing me to code without a VPN, is also slightly scary to me, even if my laptop were encrypted, but I suppose it's possible if you don't need to integrate much with other services.
What?! Ok I don't work from home, but really need "company resources". The only thing that is "always on" is outlook, and that I can get as web service using SSL. The other "always on" thing is Clear Case, but that is a technological impediment; using git (or CC's snapshot views) solves the problem entirely. It depends on the task but I can work weeks on end without needing any interaction. And the only interaction I need is with my direct peer developers. So I guess I would end up hitting the VPN at max twice a week.
I don't get the scary thing about code on your machine? Do you want to use remote desktop / VNC to code; that is sadistic. In any other case you need to have the code on the local machine to get anything done. (Even with CC's dynamic views you implicitly have the code locally.)
The GP makes total sense to me. If you accept what you are given, there is no need to improve. If you demand the best and vote with your wallet/feet you will be rewarded with better products.
As a matter of fact:
Yes, most of the times I go on a vacation it is what I expected. (Maybe not exactly as I expected, but pleasant anyway.) I chose and plan my vacations.
Yes, every time I go to the store I get exactly what I wanted to buy. True though I need to go to different stores. I chose the stores I go to.
Yes, I have seldom been disappointed by a movie or play. Then again I don't go on whim.
About that sleep thing... not so much you can do about that, though.
True that, by implementing push only the plane is safe. Let's hope they implement proper authentication, since injecting fake error reports may not hurt the plane, but can definitely hurt the airline.
Yea right WWII, love that reference. If you would study history you would learn that the US had a very strong isolationist policy. It joined in the war very late and it is a piece of cake to wage a war when the battleground is not in the same location as your factories. WWII was easy for the US, the US had 2 years to prepare. The Norwegians had to fight, totally unprepared and on their own ground.

True, you need to design them properly, but the heating parts will drive convection, which in turn suck in new cooler oil.

Isn't there a regulation on how long a yellow light is? There must be or else you could set the yellow light to 1s.
+ in bad weather conditions don't drive so fast
But that is a well understood problem on a macroscopic scale. The only thing they did war bring down the redundancy onto the chip. I don't think that it is that useful once a micrometeorite obliterates the entire chip.
But even the 25USD/month is totally reasonable. I find github's pricing for private repositories totally reasonable.
The reason why most people here are rolling their eyes (or insulting) is because it is already solved. The problem is well understood; a few terms to feed to google: git, git-submodule, github, github organisation, gitosis, gitweb, mercurial
Pro Tip: gitosis or gitolite
