If the company can manage without the people it's laying off then why were the people hired in the first place? Seems to me like the managers who hired the extra people should be fired.
Golf is not a sport. It's a game. Take a look at the physical shape of the top athletes in the sports at the Olympics and then take a look at the physique of the top golfers. You will notice a huge difference. What's next for the Olympics? Darts? Snooker?
Well since I'm not going to put FLACs on my iPhone I'm going to have to convert them to something else that will work better on it (and not take up as much space even if I got something that would play them).
Just have your files backed up on another computer at your house, on a NAS, or online. If you get ransomware then just nuke the computer and restore everything from your backup. Though if you were to combine both the backup and this then you probably wouldn't lose anything as the few modified files between backups aren't likely to be the ones to be encrypted.
I wouldn't suggest backing up to a hard drive connected directly to the computer because the ransomware will also encrypt those files too.
No, the real issue is that government told them to implement blocking. The ISPs put in a scheme where their customers had to opt-in. However not many people actually did so and the government has threatened to make it a mandatory opt-out scheme. Sky is just jumping the gun.
Of course this is just stupid. Not every household has kids and even if I don't want to access porn the block is going to catch false positives and I would want to opt-out just not to deal with that hassle.
So don't turn it on. Simple. Despite my handle there are a number of things that I would change about Apple, especially iOS. The quality of their products has started to go downhill over the last four or five years where they are focusing on the new shiny things and leaving everything else to stagnate. They have also lost the focus on keeping software easy to use in order to cram more features in. For example in the Music app on the iPhone it used to be very easy to change the volume if you were holding it one handed, a swipe. Now you have to change the hold on your phone or go through a number of steps.
But I've never been forced to use their iCloud Drive storage or any other part of their cloud service. It's always been a prompt asking me if I wanted to turn it on and when I've clicked on no there has been no issues.
The pods probably won't. Most cargo is shipped in boxes and stacked together on pallets. Everything is square except the pod or airplane. But the larger the craft the less the curvature of the shell and the easier things will fit into it. That's why a 747 makes a good cargo plane. Lots of square containers with fewer containers that have corners shaved off due to the shape of the plane.
In order to land at existing airports the plane that carries the pod(s) can't be much bigger than a 747 so that means the pods are going to be much smaller than the 747, especially for the one pictured carrying three at once. This means that many containers carried inside those pods are going to be very irregularly shaped and hard to fill with cargo.
The rule of thumb I heard was that your vehicle expenses (loan/lease, insurance, fuel, maintenance, etc.) shouldn't be more than 20% of your total expenses. It doesn't have to do with the value of the car. Similarly housing costs (rent/mortgage) aren't supposed to more than 30% or 35%. That doesn't mean you can only buy a house of $15,000.
Yes because those would be the only wires on the bus./s
They could put the microphone inside the unit for the speakers (stop announcements, bell, etc), the light that comes on when someone wants a stop, or just the lights. And the wires would be run together with the component it's installed with. There are a lot of wires on a bus.
There's a difference between having a computer class like the one that you have and what some of the larger companies have been proposing. They are pushing to have mandatory computer courses from K to 12. You are getting students that are already interested in the subject.
Imagine if the big fast food companies were getting together to introduce a program of mandatory courses in high school that taught all students to "cook" but it was all about using their equipment. There would be an outcry but because this is about computers people think it's good. This program is really about getting the students trained on their software so that when they do go out into the workforce they will want to use those applications. They don't care about teaching the children algorithms or how to program properly.
The best thing that a school can do is to teach them how to learn independently and then when they need to know something later on in life they will be able to find it for themselves. That's why I would want to see schools introduce students to as wide a variety of experiences as possible in order to all children to choose their own interests and allow them to be tolerant of the choices of others. Taking away a class from every year in order to teach them how to use programs (for that is what it will be for many of those years, especially without providing the proper teacher training) is just going to reduce the breadth of subjects that students are exposed to. K-12 should be used to prepare children for life, not working life. If you do the former then you succeed with the later. However the reverse is not true.
Trucks pulling trailers do not complete turns in a split second. And if you have to expect the other car to slow down in order to make your turn then you have to wait in order to make your turn. If this is what happened in this case then the truck driver is definitely responsible for setting up the conditions of this accident. Yes the sensors on the car should have seen the truck and the driver should have been paying better attention in order to avoid the truck. But if the driver waited as required to by law then the accident would not have happened.
The point of my comment was that even though I've read a number of articles about this I didn't see anyone raise the question about the truck crossing the road. Of course the driver of the car should have been aware of the situation. But eventually there will be the day when all people aboard a car will be passengers so there won't be an option to take over. But that will be quite a while off.
It just feels like all of these articles are out to put self driving vehicles in a bad light. I just think that there's no reason to issue a recall for one incident. They don't do that for other cars when there is an accident.
Exactly what are the incentives for some of these CEOs to prevent their accounts from being hacked? How does it look bad if the CEO of Facebook or Google if their Twitter account is hacked? They can just point out that it wasn't their company's platform being breached.
In Canada we don't have regulations for the bars on the trailers. I think it's the same for the US because when I've seen trucks from there they haven't had that safety mechanism either.
For the most part it's empty space under the trailer but sometimes, not very often, there is a piece of material there on either side. However that is to help with fuel efficiency rather than safety. I think it saves about 5% on the fuel and they started appearing in the past 5 years or so. For some reason they aren't that popular despite the fuel savings. (There is the issue of who pays when the trailer isn't owned by the trucker but one would think a simple discount could take care of that but it hasn't. But the device hasn't really even appeared on fleets where the owner has the trailers and rigs.) Here's an example: http://trailer-bodybuilders.co...
Back in the days of the space race it was the environment that got people interested and they went into the field that mattered most to them.
Today they are trying to force computer "science" onto every child and hope that it sticks with them. It's going to turn kids off computers more than get them onto programming because it's being forced on them for the whole of their education. While I have no problem with it being offered and having it introduced to everyone I don't think it should be shoved down their throats. Our schools should not be used to train students for particular jobs. I believe that a school should be teaching students a wide variety of skills in order to let them discover what they enjoy.
It sounds like the truck crossed the lane without enough time for the oncoming cars to make it but all we hear is how the autopilot is at fault. I can understand how the the sensors missed the trailer and that is going to be something all developers will have to add to their tests (when seeing a rig with a space after it then check for tires).
We are going to see cases like this come up now and again with self driving cars but there won't be a need for a recall. What should happen is an alert go out to the owners of cars while the manufacturers check their systems. If their cars pass tests then they can send out messages to their customers. If not then they create an update, test it, verify it, and send it out. Until owners of the cars hear that the system has been verified then they need to be extra vigilant when such an event happens.
The announcement talked about certain chipsets being certified so it looks like it's new hardware. But some have been out for a little but so if you bought a top end wireless router recently you might be in luck.
Is there anything that says you have to use their wireless router? Why not just have it serve as a router to a wireless router you buy yourself? That way you can have all of your own machines connect to your own private network on a router that you can control and a firewall you can configure. If Comcast wants to have a public wireless access point then it will be completely separate from your stuff (or at least safer). All that it would look like to them would be a single PC connected to their integrated modem/router with nothing using the wireless.
Maybe my local pizza shops are too small to use these but these robots use up way too much space for what they do. The robot that loads the pizza takes up a lot of floor space. And in the space for the robot to put the sauce on you could have a station that allows a person to make complete pizzas. Not every pizza shop is going to open up in a huge store. Real estate is a huge expense for them and they will want to minimize the amount of space they have to lease.

I hope if I run an application to convert a bunch of music files from one format to another then their program isn't going to be set off.

Every year during the first couple of snowstorms you see cars (trucks and buses) do that. Mind you it's not intentional.

uninstall the facebook app
Should have stopped there.

Except that all they have robots doing is the sauce and putting the pizza in the oven. Everything else is done by humans.
