Good to see this coming to Android. I didn't even consider there were any challenges of using mobile phones with hearing aids.
I did have a quick search about that other brand, so see how it compares: https://support.apple.com/en-c... . The HAC rating is explain in article at the Better Hearing Institute.
One thing I am curious about, is beyond the software work going into Android, how much Google will need to push the hardware manufactures to get that functionality integrated into the phones, if extra engineering is needed?
Many businesses don't care about the environment, unless there is a direct cost. They are either to busy trying to survive or serve the demands of the shareholders. Add to that, when a business is not looking beyond a 5 year schedule, then the impact of climate is also not a direct impact.
Now, tell them their customers are going elsewhere because the environmental image of a company is important, then they will wake up. Of course this only works when said corporation is not in a monopoly position.
In the US a number of companies have been pushing back amount trying to play nice in terms of the environment, which in the end will give the benefit to foreign corporations that have already adapted to the reality that being energy efficient for the customer is important. Short term US companies don't have to play nice, because the government has been helping keeping energy artificially cheap, so the end-user has no interest to buy appliances that consumer less resources. In most of the world people are paying the real cost for resources, so they have had to adapt.
Sometimes the food options also get repetitive. In some places I have been to employees get lunch coupons that covers part of the cost of the meal, so it allows them to get a form of corporate sponsorship.
I donâ(TM)t know whether banning company cafeterias is the best thing, but if a company is going to move to the city then supporting local businesses in some form should be part of any design, otherwise we just end up with a corporate ghetto.
In Montreal, Ubisoft has around 3000 employees and if they donâ(TM)t have their own lunch then theyâ(TM)ll it out. This helps create a community around them that would be worried if they left and also gets employees out of the office for some air.
Having a community care about losing a big player is important, as this means politicians will fear losing a company and therefore work harder to keep them there. The alternative is asking what they are doing to help support the city and treat them as some replaceable burden.
Would the result here not be a higher cost of product to retailer, as a way of keeping prices inflated? If this is the case, this would mean that retailers would either need to increase advertised price or have lower margins?
Of course the alternative is other games to keep prices in line, that work around the law?
Once upon a time the US was an ally many nations wanted to have (discounting the relationships fostered by the CIA). Today, the image of the US is one of isolationism and paranoia, very much in the frame of the leader.
Granted, it is hard to tell what is due to the commander in chief and what is simply politics as usual? It is also hard tell who is creating more spin?
Whatever happens the next leader needs to heal the wounds and divisions created by Trump (he already started during Obamaâ(TM)s terms), but that wonâ(TM)t be easy while Trump is still respected by his base. It also wonâ(TM)t be easy while the Democrats donâ(TM)t listen to the nation.
Didi like a lot of Chinese companies seem to benefit from a lot of protectionism in China to grow and evolve. Surely this is giving them an unfair advantage when they decide to jump into other markets?
The story is about an issue that is completely irrelevant.
It doesn't matter whether the "RND" function is ideally random in a mathematical sense. It only matters whether the "random" number generated is independent of the identities of the people applying to be admitted.
Also, how random does something need to be before it is acceptable and for what application? For many applications being sufficiently random is enough. Simply showing that it is not a predetermined sequence that can't be easily gamed is usually acceptable.
These days the main libertarian issue is to get rid of Obamacare and let people simply die when they get sick.
"Think of it as evolution in action," that's their catch-phrase.
--say, we may need those immigrants after all!
It worse than that "I am okay, so nobody needs it", until things are not so rosey and then it is "what happened to the free market that was meant down health care prices?"
So on one hand Trump tells the G7 that Russia should be allowed back in the club, while on the other hand congress is approving sanctions against Russia. Maybe he doesn't seem to understand the contradictions or is so far out of his depth he wasn't sure what the G7 club was about?
I can appreciate your concern, since the recent history with Skype and some other acquisitions left a bit of a bad taste, but this article from ArsTechnica suggests that Microsoft might have been the best option:
The Microsoft of today is not the same Microsoft as in the days of Ballmer and Gates. While Microsoft certainly has as big focus on the corporate world, its open source portfolio is bigger by the day. In many ways pigs are flying.
Merging the experience in a way that doesnâ(TM)t force the developers to think of the different interaction results in things like Windows CE or Windows 8.
Importing an application in this context can be easy, by ensuring the best user experience for a given device is another story.
Actually that is a good question? Maybe it -is time for a cloud based solution that can track forks across offerings and likewise support PRs from any another site?
If trust is an issue, then maybe a federated solution or one that simply build trust based on keys and oauth?
Itâ(TM)s not that I dislike Microsoft, but itâ(TM)s recent track record, that includes Skype and Nokia, suggest that they are best to leave the good stuff alone.
Buying an important stake in GitHub would be fine, but having so much control they meddle with a good thing, no thank you.
You had such an opportunity to follow through with that opening line. Maybe:
"Facebook may be quite evil, but it by no means has a monopoly on being evil."
You are right it has no monopoly on social media, but how it behaves should be irrespective of whether or not it has a monopoly. If it is broken up, then it just ends up being another set of social islands. The great ideal would be a decentralised social platform, that no one entity controls, though there probably is no real business incentive to do so. Just look what happened to Google talk being part of a federated Jabber (xmpp) network.
Based on the current government, the solution is to deregulate industries that canâ(TM)t be trusted. That is a shift from common sense, of the traditional form.
Canâ(TM)t be a programmer at Google. Those only happen at other companies that Google highlights./s
Actually have encountered one or two issues where Google does something contrary to design and then decides itâ(TM)s not their problem. The one that got me was the soft keyboard behaviour on Android for key codes in Chrome. Sounds like the ghost of Internet Explorer.
If the datacenter was going to put too much strain on the local power infrastructure then I can imagine other challenges needing to be worked out, like upgrading the power generation facilities. On the other hand if it was going to rely on its own power generation facilities, then I am sure the barrier would be lower.
Developers should be used to changing rules, as annoying as they are. Maybe Google could have found another way, but if it was too easy to work around then the ads would do so?
In this case the issue appears to stem from preloading behaviour. Maybe the alternative here is if Chrome asked for permission, on behalf of the site, just like the location API does?
The main solution here seems to be to delay resource loading until there is user interaction.
With the number of rich cooperations in the city I wonder whether they would be open to sponsorships? Just imagine in exchange for a nicely updated station Microsoft, as an example, gets to have their name on it for two years?

Maybe there was a notion that either Microsoft was copying Apple or that Microsoft is doing something cool?
Apple was hardly the first and Microsoft is as cool as you want them to be. Oh and some people actually like non-night themes.

With the Disney acquiring Fox, surely they also need to be part of a competition review.

They would not need to if /. had its character encoding sorted out. Page reports as supporting UTF-8, but then something goes screwy backend.
Is Slashcode open source anymore?

Or shift the client base to be corporate first and then make it secretly run VSS and then screw over the experience for everyone else?
Thinking of Lync being rebranded Skype and the general Skype offering being gimped.
