He would, but he can't because now there isn't enough room to update and he has to delete all of his data in order to perform the upgrade. The best condition is when there's not enough room for the update even after you delete everything. Then your only option is to install iTunes on some huge dinosaur Intel machine, assuming you even have one of those still lying around.
because it's reached price parity where it's almost as cheap to order the 32GB storage as the 16GB storage
Nailed it. That and they can still make good margins on the 64/128/256 flash at $100 per increment ($200 for 256, I assume).
16 works fine for anyone who is mostly cloud-bound, and with a couple dollars a month you can upgrade your iCloud storage to keep all your photos safe and out of your local storage. Not that iCloud is going away - no, you'll still need that subscription to backup the (now larger) internal memory. Win-win (for Apple, that is)
Why is Google's OS so broken that it can't run on "compatible" hardware. I know that Microsoft sucks (TM), but it's a rare device that simply *won't work* when they send out a patch or upgrade. Even W10 - the pariah that it is here - installs perfectly fine on 8 year old hardware that was designed to run an OS 4 generations back.
You're stuck with a common dilemma - do you eject on a single failure and lose your entire record if there's an in-flight on on-the-ground anomoly? Do you have to have impact before failure, and if so what monitors the plane statistics when the main systems go down? Can you guarantee that the ejection would be safe AND effective (upside down - ejects into ground)?
The black boxes DO have radio beacons that aid in tracking, and they're a good bit better for tracking than the relying on visibility of a fist-sized piece of dayglo orange styrofoam with an led blinker.
You should look up "flight search and recovery" on Google - it will give you all the information you need to finish that 5th grade report on airplanes you're writing.
Have you seen where the rise in prices has been the most rampant? Yup - the medical field. You can complain all you want about lawsuits, but the real cost of medicine is flesh-and-blood humans to take care of you. And they don't come cheap.
You will always be able to go out and have a (time/cost adjusted) $300 meal for two with personal service to your table. If you want a $5 bag-o-food, you're going to get it from a machine.
But a business often operates 12-16x7x52 = 4300-5800 hours per year. That means needing 3 employees to cover all those hours. If you go with a all-part-time workforce (necessitating 4 employees to cover those hours) an avoid paying healthcare, you'll still have 40-60% overhead for FUTA/SUTA, FICA, training, misc costs. At $8/hr, it costs over $60k to staff a position in a fast food restaurant, burdened.
Once a method is optimized for automation, there is no practical hourly wage which can compete with it. The only way it occurs is when the robotic IP holder charges per hour of operation or unit of production, and even then they can always undercut the cost of a person.
Wright says his team doesn't have Myhrvold's computer codes, "so we don't know why he's screwing up." But Wright archly noted that Myhrvold once worked at Microsoft, so "is responsible in part for a lot of bad software."
See, now this is something that would be fun to watch.
I'm genuinely amazed that something that ran under Windows 7 SP2 (or W8.1) does not run under W10. I'm trying to determine a condition where something would be so no-compliantly written as to still operate on either of those two systems, but somehow fail to run using the compatibility mode built into 10.
Some things require real estate. It's one reason I have a pair of 4k monitors and a TB SSD docked to my Surface Pro 4 for doing CAD work (day) and music production (evening). And it would be nice to not have to pay a king's ransom for a bit of extra memory and storage ($1400 for 768GB of SSD and 8GB of memory seems steep, don't you think?).
They should make a fat-phone with a removable back.surround (like the OEM LG G3 bumper that was a replacement back with a silicone piece that wrapped the edge) that (1) protects the phone without the need for a "case" and (2) is replacable for abou $10-20 so when you do scuff it up, you can get a brand-new shiny look just by swapping on a new back.
"The company says that developers will have the option to adjust the threshold required for a trust score."
My bank will set the threshold at MaxScorePossible+2
I've given up on online banking as they use a 3rd party program which requires a bank-generated login name and account key, plus an extensive password requirement list, and a 30 day login timeout (if you don't login every 30 days or less you have to go to a branch to have login and key reset, and a new password issued. Via snail mail).
Encryption doesn't come out of thin air. The value in encryption is that you are uniquely identified in order to gain access to your communication. Verifying that you are, in fact, you requires effort. You must set up trust, and you must maintain that trust. Otherwise you're just encrypting things because you like to use all the surplus compute cycles on your processor.
That's the problem with most AI assistants right now, though. It's too easy to get kicked out of the system. Google is even worse than Siri - anytime it's not sure what your voice command is, it sends you to a chrome window with the term you spoke as the google query. Which is fine occasionally, but most of the time is wrong (because spoken syntax really isn't what google is keyed for), and - most frustratingly - there's no interaction and no way back without starting an entirely new query. And that's an issue if you're trying to get information while, say, you're driving.
Which brings up another point...if google knows where I'm going because I 'm using maps and turn by turn directions, why does "where is the nearest *insert shop*" return what appears to be a random set of locations, rather than one that is closest to the route I'm travelling? If I'm on a trip, I'm probably *not* interested in the fact that the nearest gas station is 10 miles behind me unless the next one on my route is waaaaay out there.
A smart messaging app - thank goodness! I've been waiting for forever to get another messaging app. I mean sure, there's Google Hangouts. And Google Messenger. But I keep feeling like they could do a better job, and what better way to fix the half-assed messaging platforms they've done in the past than just kick them to the curb and start over from scratch. In fact, I'm already excited about the messaging platform that that's going to be super-awesome NEXT year when they abandon Allo because we all realize that, actually, it pretty much sucks.
And let's hope they do better with Duo than than they did with Voice - because...oh, who am I kidding. Whatever the write after they abandon Dou in a half-finshed state is going to be super-cool, too!
God, I'm just SO excited about all the new apps from Google!!
So you agree - modern artists blatantly stealing the methods and means of other pioneering researchers in the visual arts who are likely not to receive a single cent of remuneration for their discoveries? I'll bet as a result of this rampant piracy and IP theft, not a single one of the old masters will have the money - or will - to create any more great works. And it will be the fault of the pirate corporation Google, leading and encouraging mass - illegal - appropriation of the IP of others for personal, professional, and financial gain./s
She may be a great composer, but she comes across as a raging bitch who thinks that Alphabet is personally out to destroy her. She has the same myopic view as the libertarian prepper that thinks Google is out to look through their email for their private porn collection. Alphabet doesn't give a shit. At all. About any one person or entity. They sell eyeballs on a targeted, relevant basis. They match people who like things, with people who want sell stuff that matches the things people like. That's it.
Now, the more stuff that's on Youtube, the more opportunities there are to sell stuff. No argument. Youtube, not surprisingly, makes it easy to upload videos. I honestly don't have any knowledge of the Content ID system, except that - from personal experience - it works too god damned well.;-) But I should ask - if she's all fired hot about Youtube, why not the Exabytes of email and google drive storage that are used to pirate her works? Or is trading tapes still okay?
Finally, I get that being a musician is a hard road, and that being a jazz musician is even harder. There's very little interest in jazz these days (in sheer numbers of listeners compared to other genres). So I get how she's bitter about it. And that's exactly how she comes across.
I call bullshit. I've attempted to upload partial clips of movies and songs to youtube and it seems no matter how small a section or trivial the use is, Google's auto-detection system takes it down in minutes - often before it even goes live.
Anything that slips by those filters is likely done with some consent from the content holder - be it explicit or back room "astroturfing" publicity. I suspect all of them are generating revenue that goes right back to the rightsholders. Now, the real issue is that rightsholders don't like the value their getting for their content, even though its an open advertising market that sets the price for viewership eyeballs (or eardrums). In many cases, its the fact that the money paid out is split umpteen ways and the writer with a 5% credit on his ASCAP card is complaining about getting a few thousand dollars for a billion views, when the total take is well into 6 figures. (how do I know streaming services pay? I have a singer-colleague who wrote and performed an original with her band, got 1M plays in one quarter, and walked away with a $1300 royalty check - for exactly zero effort over what it took her to put her songs on CDBaby) The money is real, they're just not happy with their share - and it's not really Google's fault.
Yup - I can absolutely see that happening. I'm also imagining, with a bit of sadistic enjoyment, a jury comprised completely of engineers. I mean it's possible you get a super efficient deliberation....but its more likely that a fist fight* breaks out over some minutia.
*and by fist fight, I mean 3-4 engineers yelling at their shoes about how the other ones are wrong.
**disclaimer: I'm an engineer. I've been in those meetings.
If you only know how to solve a problem one way, you probably don't understand the underlying concept of the mathematics. As the parent of a teen going, I'm amazed at how many people know the rote method they were taught and are utterly confused when presented with another method to achieve the same solution. Not just your run-of-the-mill parents, but parents with engineering degrees and technical jobs where math is used regularly. I get that you may not understand the specific method on first reading, but this is grade school math and you already know how to solve the problem - what's so hard about understanding an alternate method. (okay, lattice multiplication is on the weird side - I'll give you that one)

To be fair, installing a connected app and denying it ""Internet connectivity" doesn't make for a very useful app.
