Whenever I see someone like you talking about gadgets like they have anything to do with the quality of life, I think that they must be very very young.
Uber is just the circling vulture over the dead carcasses. How many full time jobs have gone to crap? More work crammed into less hours, a longer commute, higher house prices. How does that show up in your numbers? The productivity of the American worker is declining because they are burnt out. Most people are trying, but they're tired. Then they get pissed off about it and vote for Trump.
These were modern headphones. Plus why would I put good money into headphones that will work with my phone only, but not my stereo equipment. Why would I want the headphones to power the sound when I have stereo equipment?
Why don't you give me a million gold coins first, and then we'll see what I see in them. Wake up, we're trading good jobs for Uber sleeping in the parking lot jobs. Low unemployment may mean people are desperate and taking whatever they can.
I have a pair of headphones that I thought were pretty decent. Then I forgot an audio cable one day and went into bluetooth mode. Most of the nuance of the music disappeared. Gone were all the fine texture of the instruments. I honestly couldn't listen to it and switched to an audiobook. Maybe the new bluetooth is better but not currently economical compared to wires.
I might add, wouldn't it be a fabulous ploy to scream about job creation, get infrastructure handouts, and then suddenly decide to automate everything?
I'd like to know who injected the "could" in could create 50,000 jobs. Because they "could" also be automated by then and that may be what Foxconn has in mind. More expensive to have labor close to the market, but much cheaper to have automated manufacturing closer to the market.
As I've said before, people work for Uber out of desperation. It's better to be destitute and work for Uber then be destitute and out of work, these are the jobs America is churning out. The problem is why those people are destitute in the first place and businesses like Uber are the circling vultures.
So in other words while they flitter away at self driving, what we really need are collaborative solutions that make it irrelevant where the people are. I thought that problem had been solved twenty times over already.
This compounds the problem. Now you're hoping your automaker thinks you're important enough and your family is important enough to look out for you and your price point. When will we have to pay more money if we want to drive at highway speed?
I find it bizarre that there are no companies out there seeing this exodus of people who are probably very talented and taking advantage of it elsewhere. Has America become so mutual back scratchy that we must all live beside each other now? What is keeping all these companies in one place? Tax differences? Well then tax them more for crying out loud. They are using American infrastructure on a national level. If it is worth it to the nation to risk some that leave and "courageous" ones that stay *cough*tax cheat*cough* then let us do so.
So then it's not playing like a human. It's still playing like a computer, and yeah, we all know computers can calculate statistics better so there is no real news here.
You realize auto speed control has been available in high end cars for ten years now and without a legal motivation to do it, car manufacturers have filtered it down to very few affordable cars? Automation won't be filtered down either.
Who cares how many people eat while driving? What matters is how many of those that eat get into accidents they otherwise wouldn't have. Split second decision making is not often required because humans anticipate danger fairly well, even if they are eating at the wheel. By relying on AI we are relying on a situation that will rely entirely on split second judgement because that is all AI will be able to do. Right now I am not confident sensors are even robust enough to sense a situation which requires a split second decision.

That's my point.. Too much trouble, easier to use a wire.
What a way to get full access to corporate conference rooms. Best information source yet.

It would be nice if they could connect by a more reliable method such as a wire. Perhaps Apple could patent it.
Yeah construction jobs shouldn't count. They're temporary.
Ok then I question where these 50k jobs are even going to come from.

Hey, isn't that what H-1B is for??

Just make a phone with a headphone port and a stylus and I'll be a happy camper.
You mean they aren't like a USB-C port?? Ya learn something every day.

And it is the people pissed off about it that gave us Trump.
Well, there's where the wealth of America is going.

Sure.. Autopilot won't back out of your driveway for you, or out of a parking spot. It only works when the conditions are clear.
