Yes in theory, but are the computers Tesla is installing today powerful enough? The lidar is there to give the computer extra information that it can process more easily than just vision alone.
Stack Exchange has gone the same way as Wikipedia. Most of the interesting stuff was handled long ago so there is now few interesting questions left, and content is decaying and becoming out of date because no-one can be bothered to keep it current.
To compound the problem you have the MMORPG element where people build their characters up and create a little empire for themselves, and worse than Wikipedia you actually have stats on SE.
Throw in a poor interface and harsh treatment of new users and the site is doomed to become a mostly static archive of bad advice. There are better communities on some of the Stack Overflow sites, but they will eventually get the same way unless things change.
That's an odd way of interpreting it. Surely the user indicated that they wanted to pay, but were frustrated by a crap UI (or were just trying to find out what the postage cost was).
This sounds like they are trying to encourage merchants to adopt it by insulting their web sites.
You misunderstood the encryption issue. The connection to the site must be encrypted, so it's the same as if you just typed your CC number in manually.
They are talking about additional encryption that could e.g. stop the merchant being able to see your number.
Typically when millions of passwords are leaked with just a basic hash and no salt, 99% of them are cracked within a month.
Publicly cracked by people looking to show up the poor security, that is. Presumably anyone with bad intentions spends a few bucks on Amazon EC2 instances so they can get to abusing them ASAP.
You don't get to re-run the vote on the same question, sure. But this is an entirely different question.
At the referendum there was no plan. There were vague suggestions of an ultra-soft Brexit, staying in the single market and customs union, from prominent Remain campaigners like Boris, Gove and Farage (https://youtu.be/0xGt3QmRSZY). That was instantly abandoned and reneged on.
Once they are forced to reveal what the final deal is (because the EU will publish it), it's time to have a first referendum on that deal.
JD.com is a major retailer in China. It's similar to buying from Amazon in the west. Some people prefer it because they have loyalty points, free shipping, credit etc. You can't read anything into it having been bought from there.
Also, this isn't the first case of this happening, and earlier instances (linked in the summary) include a guy from Japan who did buy direct from Apple.
If there is any issue here it's that we don't have enough data to really know if this is just the usual level of battery failure that all manufacturers experience or particularly bad.
Actually the link density they complain about being too high seems kinda low to me. Long, wordy articles are usually just filler and journalistic masturbation. If there is substance then get to the point, state it clearly and offer some graphics and links for illustration/proof. If I want more info then I can check Wikipedia or Google, I don't need your rambling bullshit narrative or to have stuff I understand explained to me like I'm a child.
BBC articles are generally quite good, as an example. Not too long, get all the facts in the first few sentences without commentary. They can be a bit weirdly formatted, putting each sentence in a new paragraph, but it works.
According to Apple's documentation they seem to be using AAC at 256kb/sec. That's considerably lower than aptX at around 360kb/sec.
Of course you can argue over which sounds better but since most headphones don't support AAC it's really more of a choice of do you want shitty Beats/Earpods, or do you want some good headphones in which case the lack of aptX support in iOS is a bit of a problem.
Google's Pixel and Pixel 2 phones both support aptX-HD. I'm looking at my Pixel XL right now, it's one of the listed options.
aptX sounds fine for most stuff anyway. And if you are listening to lossless why would you use the phone's headphone amplifier? That would be crazy, you would need to use a USB DAC/amp combo to get quality good enough for lossless to matter.
Who cares? Tesla doesn't sell them based on the battery capacity, they sell them based on the range of the car. Tesla don't determine the range themselves, they use the government standard for the region they are operating in.
Democracy would be having another vote at the end of the negotiation, on the deal that has been offered. By that point enough old people will have died and enough young ones will have come of voting age to reverse the decision even if the demographics stay the same.
The Brexiteers don't really care about democracy. They won and they want that to be the end of it, which isn't how democracy works. If they had lost they wouldn't have just shut up about it, in fact they immediately started agitating the moment we joined.
Fully cycling any lithium cell destroys it. Panasonic rate the cells for X milliamps, which factors in the minimum discharge and max charge levels. They don't lie like other manufacturers.
Trouble is that, to paraphrase JM Keynes, the sun can not shine for longer than any practical, affordable, battery bank can hold out.
This has been untrue for some time now, especially in places where energy costs are high due to fuel being expensive. Practical batteries have existed for over a decade, and costs are now making them a cheaper option than fossil or nuclear.
Practically you would want some wind turbines instead of just solar, but building a suitable size/cost battery is not the issue now. The old major barrier is the need to rebuild the grid to be more suitable, and this disaster presents an opportunity to do that at no additional cost over what would be needed to go back to the old ways.
Are the expensive power generation facilities destroyed? No.
Irrelevant. The fossil fuel generation systems are extremely expensive to run. About 2/3rds of the utility's costs are just fuel.
Now they need to invest in rebuilding the damaged grid. They can choose to build it like the old grid and carry on paying for increasingly costly, dirty fuel, or they can build a better one with some renewable generation and battery storage.
This 5 year life myth really needs to die. It's been debunked over and over and over again, but still keeps coming back.
The cells used in Tesla cars, chemistry and manufacturing developed by Panasonic, are rated for 3000 cycles. They have proven to meet that spec in real life conditions. 3000 cycles with one full cycle per day is over 8 years.
Power grid back-up is actually a fairly easy use case in terms of the charge/discharge load on the cells - it's not like they will go though a full cycle every day.
It's interesting that they have to include hybrids in GM's numbers to make this story work, otherwise their EV sales look pathetic and are way behind rivals like Nissan.

Good investigation of the current API here: https://blog.lukaszolejnik.com...
TL;DR there are some major privacy problems with it, but bug reports have been filed so hopefully they will be fixed.

Either you have an arbitrary limit of one vote, or you evaluate every situation on its merits.
It's actually something of a failure to not de-orbit it, because now it's a hazard. Space junk.
Forgivable perhaps because it was a feat just getting it up there, but still...
You mean you didn't fill in the AIM username on your Slashdot profile and failed to keep the client open 24/7 in case someone needs to chat with you?
Yeah, me neither.

The fact that Apple sells a wireless trackpad for your desktop computer tells you everything you need to know. It's all about form over function.

I wonder if his AIM account is still active. Is AIM even still active?
What the hell is going on with the moderation system. The parent post has:
Starting score: 1
Karma bonus +1
40% Insightful
30% Interesting
20% Troll
Final score: 3
So 70% interesting/insightful and 20% troll only confers a +1 score now? When did this happen?

It's definitely our own fault, but that doesn't mean others can't share some of the blame.
