  1. Re:No collision and need surgery? on Former Top Waymo Engineer Altered Code To Go on 'Forbidden Routes', Report Says (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    The Google engineer accidentally altered the code to physics. Strange stuff can happen when you screw with some of the constants governing friction and momentum.

    Can I enter to win a free trip to a resort in Cuba?

    They're probably a couple years away from market. They'll be coupled with those batteries with 10x capacity that charge to full in 5 minutes that are a couple years away from market.

  4. Re: They think small on Terraforming Might Not Work on Mars, New Research Says (discovermagazine.com) · · Score: 1

    The person who doesn't want to be in charge of a solar system, is the person who should be in charge of a solar system.

    I see you've got a fungineering degree.

  6. It sounds right. As long as the uniforms are all silver jumpsuits and all photo/video about them is black and white.

  7. Re:What about real ones for safety needs? on Emirates Planes Could Be Going Windowless (abc.net.au) · · Score: 1

    As someone who prefers a dark, cool plane with the shades down, I would welcome this.

  8. Times have changed. I don't think parents can let kids out by themselves anymore. Talking to a coworker with a child, she said that people will call the cops if they see a child unsupervised in a back yard. I can't imagine what would happen to kids out by themselves in the street.

  9. Re:Cash is king on Swedes Turn Against Cashlessness (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    The ones that tell them cashier how much to charge for the goods and tracks what is sold?

  10. Re:The only way to actually "delete Facebook" is.. on WhatsApp Co-Founder Tells Everyone To Delete Facebook, Further Fueling the #DeleteFacebook Movement (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    They just know that you're on the Spacing Guild's bad side and there is no way you live there.

  11. Most places I've worked typically have core office hours where people are expected to be in the office or available. Typically something like 10 to 3 or 9 to 4 or whatever. The earliest I can leave is fixed, even if my schedule is flexible within these constraints. I prefer more daylight after work. Having DST hours year round means more daylight after work for me. Most businesses with this model aren't going to shift to be more fluid, because people need to be available during the same core times for each other. Sure, some businesses have different hours depending on the season, but it is unrealistic to believe that every company would do that.

    You also need to take schools into account. Good luck getting your kid to leave a couple hours early every day because you want to enjoy more post-school daylight with them.

  12. I'm just sad he didn't launch an old Ford Prefect instead of his Roadster.

  13. Since I haven't seen it mentioned, I'll throw out Counterpart on Starz. The first two episodes have aired, and they've been pretty solid. Not hard sci-fi by any means, but it has potential.

    I thought it was Canada's turn.

    I'm sure this is a joke, but i'm hoping that it is literal and true.

  16. Re:Good grief on Gizmodo: Don't Buy Anyone an Amazon Echo Speaker (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't think it would be too hard for it to be set to only transmit when plugged in and on wifi. Similar to how iOS backups and app updates default to that behavior.

    More free time. Better add Hulu too!

    SysAdmin hardcore mode.

  19. Well, the complete details on using the same login credentials on multiple sites isn't covered in TFA, but I would imagine that percentage to be much higher for average Americans.

  20. Re:been done on Apple Developing Wireless Charging For Mobile Devices (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I fully expect them to invent and trademark some new type of force to accommodate this. Electromagnetic won't possibly do for an Apple product.

  21. Re:MS FAIL on Windows Server 2003 Reaches End of Life In July · · Score: 1

    If you're deploying a new server, you shouldn't be deploying a Windows 2003 server, and that's been the case for a few years. Whether you have the budget to deploy a new server is a different question.

    It's not just a budget constraint problem. If you have multiple servers in a farm for an application that is currently running 2003, you don't want to add a new variable into that with a new OS. You'll need to update your existing servers first.
