I'm sure that will come as a significant concern to college students and people working at a "part-time" employees at pizza hut, but as an adult with a full time job, I wish I had that kind of time. I've been "binge watching" Game of Thrones since April and I'm just now getting to the start of season 4:( I can't imagine what life is like for parents.
You can still buy the unlocked version, or get it through project fi (google's cell carrier), just like any nexus phone. Partnering with Verizon is more of a marketing ploy than anything
I think a better metric of safe would be, "how many human drivers make this mistake per day" vs "how many self driving cars make this mistake per day"
Your post appears to be written from the perspective that a human driver would never ever turn the wrong way down a one way street; my guess would be that in 5 years 1% of human drivers will continue to make the same mistake, while Is it perfect? Nope. Is it better than the status quo? Yep. Will it continue to improve? Probably.
Yep, my 40" Samsung LED backlit TV is rated at 40W. To give you an idea of how much energy that is, the Samsung soundbar + subwoofer is rated at 180W. That's 4x more energy consumed (at peak) by the barely-midrange soundsystem than the display. It's 8x more than my 5W rated Amazon Fire TV (streaming media device),
but, running my electric oven for 20 min to make my pizza uses more power than my TV, Speakers and streaming media device do in a month.
Shrug. There are bigger, better fights to pick than LED backlit TVs.
I had to ask Gibraltar "immigration" for a passport stamp on the way in, and on the way out back to spain... well it was after 6pm so they'd gone home for the day, I just walked out through their vacant office back in to the schengen area. UK might not be schengen area, but you'd be hard pressed to find it fully enforced.
Medical schools limit the number of students to keep pay high for doctors to keep them from bleeding off in to other fields like law or engineering, it's absolutely artificially limited. Would I rather be a doctor than a software engineer? Sure. Can I afford it, or do I want to spend ten years training for it? No. Could I provide better services than an EMT, given 2-4 years of training at an affordable or subsidized price? Probably. Ideally I'd like to be the village doctor for some remote tropical island (or group of islands), but that's not going to happen with the current educational climate.
Yep, exactly this. 4K is a $50-70 premium on a $400 purchase. You get access to 4K netflix content now, plus access to 4K other content down the road with no upgrades needed. And all your 1080p content from Amazon and Netflix looks amazing at high bit rates, upscaled slightly. Or at the very least looks the same. For a device that's going to last you between 5 and 10 years, that small premium is definitely worth it. My first TV was a second generation hand-me-down and is in my second cousin's dorm room now after changing hands three more times. THey last forever, and as long as you can play mario kart on them in some capacity, are still useful. High resolution TVs are one of the few "future-proofs" that pay off.
We're definitely nearing the end of the road in terms of useful resolution bumps, though; at 8K you need a wall-scale TV to take advantage of the resolution at 10' (average) viewing distance.
GM invested $2 billion in Lyft; car ownership is down, drivers licences are down, not as a percentage but as a whole. The CEO of Ford said as much last week in an interview with the WSJ. Wages are down and savings are down. People can't afford to drive and maintain cars, and people are moving towards cities. Ford, Volvo and others are already designing and marketing their next generation of driverless cars and vans. Finally, cities are full. There's no more room to build freeways in urban cores, and even if there were, where would you park 12 million cars in downtown manhattan? San Francisco? Chicago? Because those are the population centers and they already have low car ownership rates, and that is where people are moving to. Vacation and buisness hotspots rely heavily on Uber, which is going to put pressure on Austin to open back up the market to ride sharing again.
Because taxis are awful and primarily exist to shuttle people between hotels and airports, and convention centers. Being able to rate your driver as "poor/good/excellent" and then cull out the bottom third (and force people to act civil to push them in to the top third) makes the experience much like being driven to school by your mother. I lived in Dallas and it was cost effective (I actually saved about $3,000 a year after insurance, maintenance, wear and tear items, not to mention speeding tickets and parking in downtown)... now here in SF where parking is $280/mo in a private garage, it makes perfect sense. My lady friend owns a car but we only use it for trips out of town. If we're going somewhere to dinner or a show we always take an uber -- parking is insane and effectively impossible. All the street parking is taken up 100% of the time by residents who don't want to pay for private parking. As more people move in to cities, private car ownership can't go up. Private ride share makes perfect sense.
Ceres is large enough to have marginal gravity, but more importantly, it's a giant ball of ice. Since it only has marginal gravity, less than that of the Moon even, makes it very easy to get on and off of it with hardly any fuel. In fact, even though it's past the orbit of Mars, the fuel budget to do a manned trip (and safe return) is only 20% more than that of a moon mission. Mainly due to the tiny tiny gravity well.
I think there are more people doing software development on Macbook Pros than audio work. Developers (I'd say 30% at my office) like to listen to music while working. And then the sales guys need headphones and microphones to do sales demos, sales meetings etc etc. The first time a sales guy says "I lost the sale because my headphones couldn't plugin so I could use the mic" is the last time Apple laptops get issued for salespeople in my company.
That said, you can buy a USB-C adapter for headphones, they're about a dollar and are universal. The new Macbook Pros will likely have USB-C.
I went from a 32GB Moto X (2013) to a 16GB Nexus 5X (2015?) and I have to say, am I constantly running out of photo space on my phone. And I only take a couple photos a day on vacation. That extra 16GB makes a tremendous difference. If there was an option to get the Nexus 5X with an SD card, I would take it, and just swap in new SD cards when they got full, and rotate through them at a leisurely pace.
Seems to be working ok for Zipcar, Getaround and Enterprise who are all running the same service, just without the delivery aspect. So I think you are wrong here.
The labor might be that cheap, but do they work strict 40 hour work weeks, use OSHA approved equipment, can afford a livable quality of life (support a family comfortably, take vacations twice a year), get fully paid health insurance, dental etc for that $5-7 a day?
At my peak in bachelorhood I was having trouble reaching 250 GB/mo according to my DD-WRT router. I don't know how one family could burn through 5TB in one month.
Yes but let's remember, Cisco has $60 billion cash on hand. That's "we could shut down the company for 10 years and pay everyone their full salary + benefits + annual raises & promotions" territory.
I either do a straight line or an X. The card (and thus my purchases with it) are protected against fraud. What's the point of signing it? The signature is absolutely not cross checked against any kind of database for validity. I don't have time to be wasting on a fancy signature that nobody will ever look at and doesn't matter.
San Francisco's Transbay Tube does this. It's a bunch of segments bolted together, and then it was weighted down with thousands of pounds of granite fill/gravel and they pumped all the water out of it. The bottom of the San Francisco bay is pretty flat and muddy compared to Norway, I suspect, so they just let it sit on the bottom, rather than precariously suspend it in the water(?!?)
They finally pushed out a... June? 2016 security patch to my Moto X. I think this fixed the bug where the radio would get woken up from sleep mode, but not return to sleep when done, which ate up my battery like crazy. The Moto X was my first Non-Nexus phone in years... now I'm back with a Nexus 5x, at least Google patches their shit.
USB Type-C allows for analog out to a pair of dumb headphones. You can either connect a pair of native Type-C dumb headphones (dumbphones?) or a 3.5mm set of dumbphones to a $3 adapter.
There will also be digital headphones and powered dumphones, but USB Type-C can totally be used to pass an analog signal from inside the phone, directly to a tiny set of speakers strapped to your head. There's no DRM in analog audio signals.
The clip on backpack battery represents a throwback to the old StarTac (pre-RAZR) days where you could get a slimline battery (which was for chumps) or this mutant cancer battery bulge, which gave you something like a week worth of standby. It was ugly, but holy wow it was an official manufacturer-built battery backpack, not unlike what they're making now.
Being able to buy a phone with a first party batter backpack puts Motorola on the radar of a lot of people who crave a true all-day phone. I'm certainly looking at it now.
I have a Nexus 5x which while having an average battery life, I went on a company offsite outing today and had to bring a USB battery bank to keep it from running out of juice. I suspect there are other people out here that demand more battery life than the average phone is capable of giving.
Nobody actually cares about the pico projector or... whatever the other one was. Everyone paying attention to this as a positive attribute is totally focused on the first party battery backpack. If I bought a Moto Z, I'd buy three backpacks, one for current use, one for the office (on a charger) and one at my house as a backup, all ready to hot-swap. I can live with a thicker phone, but using ride share services as often as I do, I can't function without my phone these days.

Did I read that right? I thought XBOne controllers were limited to Windows due to some DRM/TPU/Trusted computing thing.
Does that mean the linux powered Steam Box may someday have an upgrade path to support the XBOne controller?
