or just don't let it unlock. You can call 911 from a locked phone (at least, for any locked phone I've seen... I think it's an FCC requirement or something).
I believe the article is missing a clear indication that "2ms/century" is the rate at which the length of a _day_ is increasing. So it really means "the lengthening of a day is accelerating by 2ms/day/century". And like in distance, the acceleration doesn't tell you how much something changed by itself, you have to know what the starting rate of change was.
times like this I wish I still had my old chemistry texts:) Of course, the fact that times like this crop up once every couple of years is why I don't...
That's interesting, because my first guess was that carbon would create stronger bonds than silicon, because silicon has a lower percentage of unfilled orbitals because of the extra shell. I wonder why silicon based molecules are more stable?
The problem is that if "all functions" includes the GPS app, the phone app, and the music app (frequently used to feed audio to the car stereo) you're going to get so much pushback it won't happen. If it doesn't include those, then "real simple" is no longer the term to use.
The most effective method I can think of at this point is: a) make it very easy to hook the phone to the car for music/phone/gps. b) have that hookup not work for other things
If A is convenient enough, then drivers will deal with that and not worry about things that B blocks. Passengers can keep using their phone because it's not hooked up to the car.
You're right, my mistake. Your statement was that _reducing_ demand would _increase_ the value, which is the converse of my last question. So, getting back to the original question... why would reducing demand for human labor, which means a reduction in the number of people who are willing to pay for it, cause an increase in the value (hence price) of human labor?
price is usually considered to be the indicator of value. Hence, an increase in demand means that it's valued more which leads to an increase in price. Sorry I left that step out.
So why would increasing demand cause a decrease in value and therefore price?
how many of them can you do without even unlocking the screen and thereby indicating to the user that something changed? (Serious question - the two factors here that seem to make it interesting are low cost and low visible impact.)
The router/gateway has a part to play too. However regardless of whether the user accessing the system is legitimate, buffers should not overflow, sql should not get injected, etc. Defense in depth.
I don't see how viperidaenz's statement leads from your question to your answer. "if you're selling it get it approved; if you're not don't" doesn't read to me "keep it off the internet". How would that be enforced? It seems like it would be difficult for the rest of the internet to tell whether your device is certified...
and this brings to mind a question I've been wondering for a while. At this point, is there _any_ source which both sides would accept as authoritative? If not, it's gonna be pretty durn hard to confirm or refute anything to the opposition's satisfaction, which puts a serious dent in the ability to reconcile...
He's not saying that, he's just saying it's not a pure "programming problem" if you really need to pull in non-programmers (in this case, the customer) to address it.
I saw that, and I started wondering if it would be feasible to adapt that to using Condorcet. Probably not; to do it right would require all the states to use a condorcet-compliant balloting system, whereas the national popular vote is already tallied. But it has appeal...
so basically you can protect your land if you can win the lawsuit. Which currently means you have enough money to carry the lawsuit past the offender's lawyers' maneuvers. This seems suboptimal. Is there a plank in the libertarian philosophy about evening the court playing field?
For the House, it would be interesting to look at popular votes and see if/how gerrymandering may have played into that. For the Senate, of course, that's not an issue.
you really seem to be loudly agreeing with his premise - we still need USB-A sockets. You seem to have overlooked his statement that "having only four USB-C ports is not so good", which I read as "not having anything but USB-C is not so good" (could have been phrased better, e.g. "having nothing but four USB-C ports is not so good").

I believe the article is missing a clear indication that "2ms/century" is the rate at which the length of a _day_ is increasing. So it really means "the lengthening of a day is accelerating by 2ms/day/century". And like in distance, the acceleration doesn't tell you how much something changed by itself, you have to know what the starting rate of change was.
totally wishing I had a mod point now. Thanks!

Okay, that's the part I was missing. Thanks for your patience in helping me understand your point of view :)
"all this automation makes human labor more valuable."
So you're saying that automation does not represent a reduction in demand for human labor?
The problem is that if "all functions" includes the GPS app, the phone app, and the music app (frequently used to feed audio to the car stereo) you're going to get so much pushback it won't happen. If it doesn't include those, then "real simple" is no longer the term to use.

price is usually considered to be the indicator of value. Hence, an increase in demand means that it's valued more which leads to an increase in price. Sorry I left that step out.
So why would increasing demand cause a decrease in value and therefore price?
well, the normal process is that if there's more demand but no change in supply, the price goes up.
how does reducing demand for human labor increase its value?

That would seem to be implied by the existence of the special ID; the ID isn't useful if there's no record of it, is it?

apple's profits were bigger than the market's profits because everyone else, put together, had net losses.
