Convex. The main surface of the screen is still flat, but the edges wrap around, so instead of a bezel, you have additional touchscreen area. At least that's how it works on a Samsung Galaxy Edge. You get an extra row of icons down the side of the phone.
My wife has a Galaxy Edge, and she likes it. When I try to use it, I keep accidentally clicking the edge buttons. She tells me that I'm holding it wrong.
I have enough problems with the power button where my thumb naturally goes and the volume control where my middle finger rests on the opposite side. Half the time I try to use the volume controls the power button depresses from the slight counter pressure. I still prefer my old Motorolas with the power button on top, where you have to actually try to hit it but not completely out of the way. I'll stay far away from these edge touchscreens I think.
I don't even keep my wallet in the back pocket, it stays up front where it has actual room and is also way harder to steal. Been doing that for a decade now. Back pockets are pretty much useless, only good for slips of paper.
Considering my wallet jams every time I pull it out of my back pocket, I don't think I'm too concerned. Front pockets are for change and keys, which can't be in the same pocket since keys empty change out of my pocket on their own.
Fun fact, we have 34 years to get CO2 neutral (this is being sustainable with the atmosphere) or else we are fucked up. Unfortunately, the US will not go in this direction for the next 4 years. So dear US citizens, 30 years left and the clock is ticking.
Just because out newly elected leader may not understand enough about science beyond how much it costs to research (if that much), it doesn't mean US scientists and businesses (OK, most businesses can't see beyond the profit margin but some understand long term planning) will not keep working in the right direction.
Fraud is deliberate deception to secure unfair or unlawful gain. How is it not fraud?
Because it didn't really happen in our universe. It virtually happened within a nested universe. It's a game, not real life. The "gain" is virtual.
What's next? "You murdered that other player in the gladiator wave of Joust!" or maybe "Hey, someone came to my Clash of Clans base and stole some of my gold and elixer!" or maybe "you solicited sex for money in Leisure Suit Larry!"
Congress coins money; EA does not. What happens to EA currency isn't real. He should be charged for fraud (or justice dispensed however they do it) within the virtual universe, not within ours. If you kill me in Joust, I just kill you back (as deterrent; is 3000 points worth my wrath?); I don't go crying to mama outside of the game. And if I do go crying to mama, mama's job is to tell me to settle the fuck down.
If you start getting confused about the nesting within universes, you're going to cause a lot of problems and paradoxes. I will eat YOUR dots, Pac-msauve. Don't, and don't legitimize those who do.
"Between them, the group earned $15-$18 million."
This appears to be real world cash they netted, at this point it has left the game world.
Though if selling imaginary world things for real world cash isn't fraud, I have a great vacation home in middle earth to offer you!
And I'm pretty sure one or two votes were also impacted by television and printed material. Also, let me correct this for you slightly... "Welcome to Earth where people can share any information, real or not."
Well, I can answer that. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton were the best and most qualified for the highest office among all living Americans at age 35 or above. Nobody else is smarter or otherwise better equipped for the highest duty for his country, or else why would they have become presidential candidates in the first place? So there can be no loss either way. President Trump represents the best that America could possibly offer right now in terms of what voters and the electoral college think, directly followed by H. Clinton who won the popular vote. Not even Chuck Norris would have been better suited to become the next president of the US of A, which is why even he himself advertised for Trump. If you pardon me this French phrase, Trump and Clinton are both the creme de la creme of American society.
It includes some... let's be charitable and say avant garde... approaches to the manner in which they account for the timing of credits.
Basically they reported in the current period a whole lot of credits that don't actually relate to the current period. Whether that's 'avant garde' or 'cooking the books' is a separate discussion.
Yeah, this is where I'm afraid the actual profits are questionable. I'm just hoping they are on the actual upswing but time will tell.
Takes money to make money. Rounding for ease of calculation, 100 million profit a quarter makes 400 mill a year. 2.4 billion could be paid back in 6 years, with no profit growth.
I don't know if their profit includes subsidies, I'm assuming not. I don't mind seeing government assistance for something as large as a new US auto manufacture, particularly one investing in new technologies. Though I'd like to see that money specifically listed as research or startup investments, preferably to be paid back eventually or have Tesla share their research results with other US companies, rather than through subsidies.
And yet, the fact of Trump's repudiation of climate change science and general anti alternative energy stance has pushed Tesla's stock down quite violently post election. I guess the question is where Trump and the Republicans really will draw these lines on trade and energy. Alot up in the air right now.
You mean that 10 point drop today vs the 70 point drop over the previous 7 months or the 35 point jump over the past 9? I think Trump is the least of their worries at the moment, can't say if that will remain true over the long run yet.
Trump is coming into office in the midst of yet another bubble from the Fed. That bubble's going to burst sooner or later, and they can make it happen tomorrow if they want, simply by stopping inflation. The correction that follows is necessary, but you can bet that the left will try to blame it on the Republicans.
-jcr
Stop inflation? I has barely been measurable since 2011 and that was a brief blip in the low inflation since 2008.
Personally I suspect we are going no need to "break" the existing laws of physics to find new technologies. Then we can figure out how to correct the laws for the new conditions. Though this may just be the sci fi fan in me speaking, rather than the side of me that realizes that doing the impossible is usually just that. I want to believe dammit!
Yeah, my dad told me almost 20 years about about parts outsourcing to China. When they got the parts back the tolerance was not tight enough for the application (aviation), so they told China it didn't meet the spec. China said they would need to by the equipment to produce parts to that specification. Factoring in the cost of the new equipment, it would have been cheaper for my dad's company to buy the part in the US.
and let me guess how your story ended: Your dads company bought someone at the FAA to increase the allowed tolerances for those parts enough that the cheaper parts from china were good enough.
I think they ended up paying China for the more expensive parts for some contract reason, not really sure. This was in equipment that wouldn't just act up over time but would fail to run in manufacturing tests if the parts were not precise enough.
Also there is some out right skirting of the rules in India to get the job done. I contracted for an aviation company that sent their testing to an India company. The software was to be certified at DO-178b level b, which means our requirements say what every branch does and our tests prove the software does it. When the results came back from India, the company had us sample run some of the tests, a number of which failed. The response from India was "we didn't expect you to run those tests".

As someone with small businesses dealing with sensitive commercial and personal data, not only do we give a crap, so do our lawyers. YMMV, but the telemetry and automatic updates are not a non-issue for those too small to be using the enterprise-level tools.
Also not a non-issue for companies working defense contracts or otherwise export controlled work. I bet many IT departments are going absolutely bonkers trying to figure out the upgrade path post win 7, that or just saying f this.

Well written thoughts. My simplified take on the idea, OH HELL NO!
The most recent generation is as fragile as snowflakes. Take away their social media, and they'll self-destruct.
But everyone tells me I'm a unique and beautiful snowflake!

As did E-mail, Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, Snapchat, IRC and I bet a Usenet server somewhere too.
Welcome to the Internet where people can share any information, real or not.
As it always has been, as it will be going forward.
The DNC had the opportunity to control online discussion but decided to correct the record against Sanders supporters..
And I'm pretty sure one or two votes were also impacted by television and printed material. Also, let me correct this for you slightly... "Welcome to Earth where people can share any information, real or not."

Did you hold your nose while typing that?
HA HA, err, wait, I meant to say, "That's terrible!"
Er wait... ah, HA HA!
Tesla tells Germany that 1 in 50 drivers have no clue what the term 'autopilot' means.
1 in 50 drivers (or even 1 in 1000) thinking their car will handle any situation without the driver's help doesn't seem scary. /sarcasm off
I have a feeling that the enlisted would be required to move.
We will strongly resist any attempts to kidnap and enslave our citizens.
You mean the people who voluntarily signed a contract to join a national (not state) military?
It includes some ... let's be charitable and say avant garde ... approaches to the manner in which they account for the timing of credits.

Yeah, this is where I'm afraid the actual profits are questionable. I'm just hoping they are on the actual upswing but time will tell.
ummm Tesla lost 750 million dollars in the 3 previous quarters, with that +80 million they are only 400 million short of making a profit this year. That is with a estimated $2.4 Billion in subsidies last year, and likely even more this year.

Picasso must have been an evil genius then to pack that much environmental impact on a canvas.

"Investors sold off U.S. stocks and the dollar in reaction to Trump's unexpected win."
I'm assuming this must be foreign investors since the DJIA is up over 1% as of the time of this post.
They low power during use? Nice.
I've had that problem with my ground RCs too. I can't figure out how to prevent lower power during use.

We still have software that doesn't run on windows 8/10
Maybe you ought to be working on a fix instead of /.-ing?
You think they have funding for that?
