I'm not. I don't even know you. What I'm doing is addressing your obviously incorrect statements given that Tesla very much has the monitoring systems you claim it didn't.
Bitch all you like but Tesla have been found to have unsafe technology in their cars. Tesla and safety: fail.
Actually so far the only thing that was said is that the autopilot design contributed to this crash. In the meantime the NHTSA investigating the same report said while the autopilot did contribute to this crash there was nothing wrong with the design of the technology, and on top of it all the data shows that there's a 40% crash reduction rate in Tesla's autopilot controlled cars compared to other vehicles in the same conditions.
I hope your critical reasoning skills can fail as hard as Tesla's autopilot safety record. It certainly would be an improvement over where you are now.
From a company famously not realising that people holding their phone would cause a massive signal drop, I'm going to go with not at this point. Maybe after a year of data gathering.
I'm waiting for the phone to turn out to be racist and sexist because of the all male design teams employed and the lack of testing outside of a small group of "in the know" employees at Apple.
Or maybe they've learnt, either way, new technology and a claim that isn't backed by published data, scepticism is the sensible way to address this.
This. I have a 1080p monitor (well actually 1920x1200) and yet I select 4k when I watch a youtube video for a very obvious improvement in visual quality.
The sanctions are on goods and movement of currency. Using bitcoin doesn't make goods magically move (actually quite the opposite, you'll find most companies don't accept it). Using bitcoin also doesn't magically increase the amount of currency trade that has been sanctioned. The money needs to physically move, having bitcoins doesn't make that happen unless you also have bitcoin exchanges in direct violation of the sanctions.
Its sole purpose is as an enabler of criminal activity.
So in order to enable North Korea's criminal activity show me where they intend to convert the bitcoin to products services or internationally tradeable currency for the purposes of circumventing the sanctions.
People like you and the author of the article are so focused on the what that they forget about the more important factor: how.
Unless fat Kimmy is buying uranium in bitcoin now all he's doing is building up a stash of worthless bits he can't convert to anything usable without being stuck by the same sanctions and raising the same interest of law enforcement as if they were trying to smuggle in real cash or goods.
Apple argues that the company cannot guarantee any iPhone for more than a year.
I guess they should pull out of the EU then seeing how they are unable to meet the minimum legal required guarantee. Or does the QC department bin the devices and send the good ones to the EU and the crappy ones to the USA where consumers are used to being screwed over and not have any recourse other than costly legal battles or lawyer enriching class actions which may net them a $15 discount coupon?
When you have to reach for physical security to try and identify a flaw, it tends to dismiss the concern altogether. A lot of hardware is vulnerable if you can get your hands on it.
And that is all completely irrelevant when talking about highly parallel applications with distributed workloads. Having access to the results of a single unit will likely yield you garbage data without any context for the whole.
Which job? Nichrome wire can solve computing problems? Or are you under the impression that supercomputers won't exist and those $600 of silicon won't get bought if it weren't for the spaceheaters?
Remember this is using waste heat, not waste processing.
"Reboot" is the right word for The Force Awakens. Are there any writers left in Hollywood these days or is it just a bunch of guys rehashing old material?
A reboot is exactly what the fans wanted. Don't blame the writers, The Force Awakens was a purposeful fan-service story produced by formula.
then fail to implement basic attention monitoring capabilities
You mean like the detection systems that warned the driver over and over again to put his hands on the wheel?
and you sell your cars to idiots, you pretty much guarantee something is going to go wrong.
Wait are we still talking about autopilot here? Because last time I got rear ended was by some idiot playing with his phone. At least with an autopilot he may have stood a chance.
Shit, my five year old car that doesn't even have lane assistance or dynamic cruise control but still monitors me and alerts me if it thinks I'm not paying attention to the road.
Yeah it's almost like you didn't read the report that showed the driver ignored repeated visual and audible warnings his Tesla gave him.
There were no warnings in the two minutes leading up to the crash. Even if there had been, their driver attentiveness detection system is flawed
And? The system repeatedly warned him over a period of half an hour and he ignored every warning (see report below). Would another warning in the last 2 minutes save him? You can't fix stupid with technology.
You can easily have one hand on the wheel and the other on your phone, or sleep in that position.
And it's amazing how many of those cases also cause major accidents in cars without any driver assistance technology.
For the vast majority of the trip, the AUTOPILOT HANDS ON STATE remained at HANDS REQUIRED NOT DETECTED. Seven times during the course of the trip, the AUTOPILOT HANDS ON STATE transitioned to VISUAL WARNING. During six of these times, the AUTOPILOT HANDS ON STATE transitioned further to CHIME 1 before briefly transitioning to HANDS REQUIRED DETECTED for 1 to 3 seconds. During the course of the trip, approximately 37 minutes 16 passed during which the Autopilot system was actively controlling the automobile in both lane assist and adaptive cruise control. During this period, the AUTOPILOT HANDS ON STATE was in HANDS REQUIRED DETECTED for 25 seconds. For the remainder of this period, the AUTOPILOT HANDS ON STATE was in HANDS REQUIRED NOT DETECTED, or in one of the visual or aural warning states.
Try going to the Apple Store web site. All headphones and speakers are Bluetooth or Wireless.
Looks like you're behind the times.
Yeah because online stores show all products a company makes and doesn't just cherry pick to produce a result. So aside from the fact that Apple doesn't list the following Apple produced products on their store:
- Beats Studio EP - 4 models - Beats Pro - Beats urBeats3 - 4 models
You also happen to be completely blind as the Apple store also offers the following 3.5mm headphones:
- Beats urBeats 3 - 4 models - Beats Studio EP - 2 model - EarPods with 3.5mm connector - Apple In-Ear headset with 3.5mm connector - Bose QC20
Looks like you're behind the times.
The American Foundation for the Blind has some good screen reading software for you so you don't make the same mistake next time.
can't imagine what it will be like with an edge to edge phone.
Then just walk into a shop and try it. There's no problem with rejecting touches on the edge of the screen on the Galaxy S6 edge or any other edge to edge display built in the past 3 generations. It's one of those things that you think will be a problem because of your previous experience with a completely unrelated product. But the thing is, when people build something that actively causes a problem they also design engineering solutions for them.
It's like watching people use the stylus on my Surface for the first time and seeing them hover their hands in their air. Dude put your hand on the screen like a normal writer. Palm rejection, accidental touch rejection, and all those other things were actually thought of in the design.
I have yet to see a set of Bluetooth headphones, at any price, that can adequately replace wired headphones for my use case. The battery doesn't last nearly long enough.
As a matter of interest what is "long enough"?
I flew from Brisbane, Australia to London without charging my Bose QC35s once during the trip and having them on 100% for the duration of the flight watching an endless string of movies the entire way and I arrived in London with 30% battery remaining after >20 hours of use.
Not that I like wireless for many other reasons, it's good for being in transit and not much else, but what use case do you have that regularly keeps you away from a standard USB charging point long enough that 20+ continuous hours of listening is not nearly good enough?
Once an always take an "additional" step. The question was what was in place before the crash, and it wasn't nothing. As part of the investigation Tesla showed that the driver actively ignored the warnings that were already in place.
If you try to fix stupid with technology it will be a race to the bottom.
How would you monitor their engagement? Eye tracking? Manual corrections to the car's path/speed?
Yes, yes, and actually more than that. Volvo uses facial recognition as an example. This technology is in active use across a few models from a few different manufacturers.
Rei: Goes from no powers to mind control followed by using the force to fling things around before even getting off the planet they were fleeing, proceeds to kill a Kylo Ren who had been perfecting his powers for years under a Sith master.
Luke: Unable to sense bolt blasters for an entire space flight. Soon after being taught by the best Jedi master in the universe and spitting the dummy when unable to lift simple stones. Even after a few weeks of training his skill level is still basic. He then proceeds to get his arse kicked.
Be careful with this kind of insightful post. Not always welcome here.
Yep. Quoting a world wide average, ignoring why that average is how it is, in reply to a post specifically addressing that the world wide average is not a suitable indicator of how we buy phones in the west is not welcome here. None the less someone will find it insightful.
That $227 figure that is quoted quite often has one very big driver that I already mentioned: emerging low cost markets. The average price of a Samsung phone in the USA, Europe, Korea, or Japan is no where near $227, and very much close to the premium mark. Those $227 are driven primarily by the expansion into India.

Remember this is using waste heat, not waste processing.
Rei's mind control powers only emerged after Kylo Ren had demonstrated them to her when trying to interrogate her.
That toooootally makes her less of a Mary Sue.
Rei also failed to kill Kylo Ren.
That was due to a deus ex machina in reverse saving the bad guy who just finished getting his arse handed to him.
Right, because he didn't have enough training.
Kind of my point and further highlighting the fact that Luke is a normal character while Rei is a Mary Sue.

Why didn't the technology get used there first (or, for that matter, exclusively)?
Economics of production. It's best to try new ideas on small devices before you ramp them up to something more difficult to manufacture.

No one cared when HTC did it either, mainly because the Google Pixel has very limited sales numbers vs the other majors.
