Built in NAV, can and should provide more and better features than another device
Liked the GPS in my Chrysler Pacifica when we first purchased it. Just about my favorite feature was that it was located centrally for the driver and could easily be glanced at, through the steering wheel, while driving. It was easy to correlate the road with the displayed map. Sadly the $200 updates, lack of software updates, hokey method of address entry resulted in it's demise.
Love to have a system in the car similar to what my iPhone offers plus:
Dead reckoning - drive in Boston and you'll know why
Or until a breach results in death. You know like when it becomes cost effective to put in a new stop light, or change a medical practice/procedure (of course that usually take more than one death).
i've been delayed because of weather, engine troubles, etc and i'm still alive and happy.
Many (most?) can accept that things happen but, there are limits. Yet, most can't accept a lack of information and being outright lied to. Air line in general have a very poor public perception of telling the truth about why delays are occurring. Weather and "Acts of God" are one thing, we can check the weather, many can sort out things like "Oh, there's a thunderstorm in Ohio, why is that affecting my flight in Colorado... Oh, my plane in trying to leave Ohio..."
With air lines implementing various cost cutting measure (which rarely seem to improve service or cut out prices) that have meant fewer, fuller flights and less convenience for travelers the system seems wholly unable to deal with interruptions above a certain threshold. In light of all this, I fully understand someone's ire at a lack of transparency from any air line.
Southwest, and others, should (as in be required to) provide details on what went wrong.
the only thing public pressure does is cause the company to spend more money in redundant hardware which mostly sits unused and raises prices
It's likely that the cost of redundant hardware pales in comparison to what the device failure cost them..
And 10% of those are holding them between their thighs while driving away from a McDonald's drive through.
So that's around 850 that could be in close contact with somebody's groin region Let's assume that 50% of those laptops are owned by males, (or just something that has a penis)

Missouri teen, is suing parents for corruption of a minor, child endangerment, emotional distress, and negligence. It seems the teen recently acquired a Facebook account and went creeping on their parents pages. The material found was termed as 'disturbing', 'borderline pornography' and 'disgusting' by the teen. Most the of the outrage centers around the father's posting of meme's with sexual content and nudes.
While that's a stunning piece of data and sadly true, what do you expect? We let parents dictate what their children should be taught, how their children should be taught and by whom they should be taught. We fail to prepare teachers for the classroom, graduate them with little to no classroom experience, put in place programs to support them and then allow those program to be cut or fail. Students come to school tired, hungry, and are often afraid to walk down the halls for fear of being accosted by fellow students. While I am a true fan of the underlying concept of Common Core, it's implementation is lacking in some areas (and no I'm not referring to how they teach math) we're pushing directed instruction all the way down to pre-K where we know it doesn't work and the high-stakes testing that comes along with Common Core has evolved into a nightmare of wasted time and resources.
'perform certain actions, motions or gestures, such as to smile, blink, or tilt his or her head.'
As if Amazon isn't bad enough, now it's just downright creepy.'
Creepy isn't quite the word that comes to mind, more like pervy. Just what "certain actions, motions or gestures" we talkin' 'bout here? Just wanna know if I'm gonna have to clean up afterward...
Because sadly being innocent is not a defense and while you may not automatically lose due to your lack of legal representation, you also won't necessarily win because your innocent. Failure to respond, fully and properly to a lawsuit can lead to a costly loss. As can lack of procedural knowledge, past case law, etc.
This is one of the great inequities in U.S. law, a complainant with sufficient resources can prevail due to the defendants lack of resources. A unending series or motions, court filings, etc. can be financially devastating.
When the wife decided she was done, I manned up and Did The Right Thing(tm). I read a bit about what's involved in tying a woman's tubes and it's pretty much a no brainer. The risks to a woman are simply too high and it's a much more invasive procedure. Plus if my girlfriend gets preggers, it wasn't me.
Recall my doctor telling me there would be residual viable sperm around for sometime after I was snipped. Pretty sure you can't just go flippedy flip on the switchety switch and not make a baby with your baby.
This article sparked the memory of wondering why we had to pay more for unleaded gas... Apparently it was expensive to remove the naturally occurring lead from the refined gasoline.
There's an entire universe between the excrement that Trump spews and using AI, heuristics, machine learning, etc. to identify terrorists or more likely terrorist like behavior. If nothing else this would give humans searching for terrorists a place to start. It would be a constant arms race but, it is certainly worth the try.
Not using an ad-blocker but, I have noticed that the ads have become much more intrusive lately, so I happily disable ads whenever I can. As the disable feature was instituted by/. and a user must contribute (in what the community deems) in a positive manner, I have no qualms about using the feature. I can't imagine the "Good Folks (tm)" at/. biting the hand that feeds them. I strongly suspect that the positive effect of those users posts far outweighs any 'lost' revenue.
Sadly, it's very likely in this case that it's the exact opposite Guilty Until Proven Innocent. As the result of the proliferation of Zero Tolerance Policies in schools, many of us have likely heard of student being suspended or expelled for taking their toy G.I. Joe gun to school (you know the tiny solid plastic ones) or eating their cheese sandwich into the shape of a gun and brandishing it at another student.
It's likely not a case of the teachers or administrators overreacting so much as having to follow the draconian policies foisted upon them by the school board or local laws. It's more appalling that the police actually took the kid away.
"The bill adds a warrant requirement for communications that were previously considered so old as to be irrelevant to their participants and unworthy of privacy protections. Right now, emails and other electronic messages older than 180 days are considered to have been “abandoned” by the people who sent and received them. Law-enforcement agencies don't need to get a warrant to force a company like Google or Facebook to turn over those communications."
Okay, so something a mere 180 days old is "irrelevant" to me and "abandoned" by me but, is of value to the government in my prosecution?!?
With all the rhetoric and back and forth about H1Bs the truth is a little consequence. Anyone who is unable to find employment in any portion of the tech industry can readily point to a story or belief, founded or not, regarding H1Bs and blame foreign workers.
Some in industry claim that the root cause of the need for even more H1Bs is a lack of skilled/trained workers. Yet there seems to be little activity that would result in upping those numbers.
Clean nuclear, doesn't nuclear fuel have a pesky rather long term disposal issue? Granted I'd never heard of using Thorium as a fuel before but, I don't get a warm fuzzy about the use of 'er' in cleaner and safer.

decent PR move, lol
You mean inciting espionage(1) and virtual treason (1), then yeah great move.
P.S. Yes, I saw the lolz.
(1) - Is there such a thing?!?
What?!? Hey, guess neither of a new the US was an international leader in technology and encryption.
Um, yeah...

Y'all got that that was a joke, right?
Well considering how many Facebook profiles are Pub-lick-kah, that would only help so much

The court documents reads more like the rant of a conspiracy theorist than a structured legal argument. I didn't see even on use of "Whereas".

Oh, wait . . .
Or for the times when you aren't there, it would be more reasonable for the parent/guardian, to be able to log the traffic.
Pretty sure by the time the FBI becomes involved, it already too late from the parents POV...
Why do you ask? Looking for a date?
Uh, not just no.
