Are you trying to make this into a "everything new is bad" argument?
Not at all. I listed several features that are good but were already existing in vendor ROMs that have just been incorporated to upstream Android. That said not everything new is good.
And this isn't even directed at Android. This whole "help the user to stop using their phone" garbage feature is just as garbage on Apple's latest iOS as well.
3) The article does not says which version of Lotus Notes are they using.
Sure they do. It says it right there in the first line of the summary: "The Baltimore police department". Given police funding in America this directly translates to Lotus Notes 2 running on a Netware network.
My wife bought a Bixby enabled Samsung refrigerator. It is difficult to voice activate, doesn't understand much, and is way worse than either Alexa or Google Home (she has both of those too).
It does include good speakers, so if you want your refrigerator to play nice music, you may like it.
I personally love Bixby. There's nothing more light hearted and charming than being in the middle of a conversation and your phone randomly lighting up to tell you it didn't understand what you just said. Most digital assistants are useless, but at least Bixby is trying to listen to everything you say.
People who write this stuff really need to stop covering their asses because what they say has ZERO meaning.
Only to pedants who can't determine the meaning from the sentence because they are too busy analyzing every individual word.
It means if it sits there idle expect it to last 80 hours and don't expect anything from the watch beyond that but hey if it's brand new it may last longer, but if you use it it lasts less.
No. I am just mad at general stupidity. Are you on the latest Windows 10 yet? Gotta get that latest killer telemetry because all features are must have right?
Also you didn't say anything bad about Samsung so I have no idea what you're on about.
Adaptive Battery : Samsung has had this for 2 years already. Adaptive Brightness : Samsung has had this for 2 years already. Adaptive System (e.g. reacts and executes things when you plug stuff in) : Samsung has had this for 2 years already. Integration with Apps that causes your personal info to be spammed to 3rd parties like Lyft : DO NOT WANT. Switch between apps with gestures : Samsung has had this for 5 years already. See which apps you use most : errr. why? Set daily limits on your apps : err why?
Now on the flip side the list of features you get currently with Samsung's variant of Oreo that aren't part of the normal Google Android version are quite extensive including far better split screening, far better security features, and the ability to turn your phone into a desktop.
Do you get excited about the latest release of Windows 10? Or do you know better and use a more functional OS?
I know this is normal in Android land, but I don't understand why people are OK with it.
People are okay with it because unlike Apple the hardware and software are on different release cycles. It is normal in every land that if you go buy a cutting edge PC or gadget that it won't have the OS that was literally just released to vendors a couple of weeks earlier.
Also I do have to ask, what are you missing? What is your killer app? What about Android Pie do you think makes it even worthwhile downloading the update when available? Its biggest selling features have been part vendor ROMs as it is anyway and Samsung's variant of 8.1 is far more feature packed than Google's variant of 9.0.
Take a chill pill, you'll get your coveted number increase soon. Personally I prefer my OS NOT rushed to market.
Yeah but I prefer having a phone that does those 90% of things today rather than tomorrow when that underpowered piece of shit finally starts responding.
Also first reply, at least it would have been but it took me 45min to post this from my 386.
Zero. Pretty much all of these apps do nothing, and if they do just disable them and Android will prevent them from executing, updating, and doing anything other than using a very small amount of storage space.
Americans are afraid of lots of things that never actually happen; however, voter coercion actually happens. A lot.
Maybe you need a functioning rule of law to actually attack the root cause of the problem. That's my point really. It's not that it should never happen, but rather that society should function as such that it should never have a significant enough impact. Rather than creating the perfect system accomodating all problems it's best to identify the root of the problems.
issues with spouses
Is something that can't be fixed by any voting system.
employers forcing people to vote
Any any functioning democracy that employer will find themselves heavily fined, and the person legally protected from retaliation. A far bigger underlying problem in America is that such power exists over people in the first place. I just don't think the design of the polling booth is where these problems need to be addressed.
Consider: How does your proposed scheme prevent someone threatening me unless I give them the receipt that proves I voted the way they wanted me to?
It's amazing how scared Americans are about scenarios that only happen in the worst shitholes of the world (n.b. The actual definition of shitholes, not the Trump definition).
1. A headline is not a conclusion. It's also not a summary. Quite critically a headline is something in isolation that should never have to stand on its own as it lacks context. It's only purpose is to get readers to read on.
2. The "conclusion" that you think is being drawn in the headline has nothing to do with this sentence in the summary: "The study doesn't jump to conclusions...". That line in the summary is talking about the conclusion that could be drawn from the statistics (the why). The headline is simply concluding the statistics themselves (the what), something that the study itself also does.
The people actually building the nuclear plants have said the output will cost too much per kwh. Nebulous "regulations" are not the cause. The plants cost a lot to operate.
No they don't. Operational costs for nuclear power isn't extraordinarily high. Initial outlay and abandonment costs are.
The US's "investment" was paltry compared to that.
Sigh. Look you should see how much eggs cost in China! It's just as irrelevant to my point.
Nuclear production has reduced by less than 1GW in Germany as a result of this. In the meantime the daily cycle from solar goes from 28GW to 0. Wind was 9GW 3 days ago and 2GW the day before that.
I think we'll be just fine with things "breaking".
So the Euros are doing something wrong with their designs.
Nothing wrong with any designs. Designs have conditions on them, when those conditions are breached your design project needs to take measures. You should try suddenly freezing your hot tropical nuclear reactors and see how long they last.

But don't knock Domino
Or you may find your 100 servers falling over one after the other?

Amazing. My watch doesn't last 72hours with its power reserve draining and it was really expensive. Your Timex must be worth a FORTUNE.
No. I am just mad at general stupidity. Are you on the latest Windows 10 yet? Gotta get that latest killer telemetry because all features are must have right?

Wind and solar are by definition base load plants
I'm out. I used to think you knew something about energy generation. I was clearly wrong.
Coming soon Android Q: Feature that lets owners slap themselves really hard. I suggest you get it.
No, because we DO know better.
Here's a list of Android Pie features:
Adaptive Battery : Samsung has had this for 2 years already.
Adaptive Brightness : Samsung has had this for 2 years already.
Adaptive System (e.g. reacts and executes things when you plug stuff in) : Samsung has had this for 2 years already.
Integration with Apps that causes your personal info to be spammed to 3rd parties like Lyft : DO NOT WANT.
Switch between apps with gestures : Samsung has had this for 5 years already.

We can nuke it from orbit!
We don't get democracy sausages
Low voter turnout explained in one sentence :-)
(Before I get a lecture, this is an obvious joke, the appropriate answer is ha ha).

Not never happen, but rather in a country with a functioning rule of law it should be insignificant enough not to make a difference.
We are 100% vote by mail.
Wait what? How can you have a democratic system of government by mail vote. If you do that you don't get a democracy sausage
I don't understand America.
Consider: How does your proposed scheme prevent someone threatening me unless I give them the receipt that proves I voted the way they wanted me to?
It's amazing how scared Americans are about scenarios that only happen in the worst shitholes of the world (n.b. The actual definition of shitholes, not the Trump definition).
There is no need to have the computer count the votes
So remove the only benefit of electronic voting?
How would having a piece of paper help?
Have a think about how votes currently work and what role a piece of paper may have.
2 things:
1. A headline is not a conclusion. It's also not a summary. Quite critically a headline is something in isolation that should never have to stand on its own as it lacks context. It's only purpose is to get readers to read on.
