Given what those "apps" already do, the features you want aren't difficult to add, but it doesn't appear that they care what the users want. Other posters already said that, but I want to add that this is true of the Google Assistant itself. The OK Google thing used to be easier to use. For example, "OK Google, fastest way to work" and it'd say "here it is", or "so many minutes, etc. Now it silently brings up the map and directions silently, forcing you to keep looking at it.
Also, it never works from the phone app (on Nexus 5).
The other day I go to report a dangerous situation on the road to 911, the call goes through, then I go to turn the speakerphone on, since it is loud on the street, and.. well, I can't, 'cos there's this big bar across all that with a busy indicator, but eventually it gets my location and shows me a picture of where I am. So they crippled the phone app to let me know where I am?
If more light is shed on KKK members, skeletons in their past will emerge. On the other hand, as is the case for a mayor on the list, it will be clear that they don't belong on the list.
And read my post - I didn't advocate for this release, I'm saying that maybe this is what Anon thought when they published it.
Yes, there are false positives on the list. But maybe the thinking is that there is a benefit to scrutinizing all these individuals - the errors would be weeded out. Question is, are there real KKK on the list too?
I vastly prefer KDE to everything else, however don't go wiping your PCs and installing KDE/Plasma 5 because of the eye-candy. A bunch of stuff is still not ready, relative to KDE 4. Example, few workspace widgets, for example, no Quick Launch, only 1 weather widget. Widgets not resizeable. The wi-fi/network connection app something thinks it is connecting, when is already is connected. Sign-in screen doesn't know to use your pic/avatar. No way to use Emerald themes (Smaragd was usable in KDE 4). And so on.
Very usable, but a big drop in functionality as things are worked on. Yeah, I know it is a more elegant framework, etc. etc.
Wasn't there a post saying Apple and BMW are cozying up? And doesn't Apple have its own maps thing? So why is BMW in this purchase? Are these automobile manufacturers just making sure they're not single-sourced for anything - be it Os or maps?
No, it isn't a subtle distinction, it's a massive one. The police are trained to and it is their job to make these decisions correctly.
In all of the highly-publicized recent cases they did not is remarkable - in spite of many times that number of correct judgements by other officers - because they made poor judgements in egregious ways, escalated their behavior out-of-control, and in some cases, planted exculpatory evidence.
Oh, they probably haven't driven on city streets either. With America's crumbling infrastructure. city streets are pothole-ridden messes, with traffic-calming, school buses, bike lanes, and other interesting twists; and unpredictable traffic including cyclists darting between motorized vehicles. Not only is it unpredictable, but it changes day-to-day - with construction, schools being in or out of session, and any of the other obstacles that the city likes to throw in drivers' way.
The people who come up with this crap are those who will benefit from it financially if/when idiot-lawmakers allocate money to it. The real solution is funding planned infrastructure renewal and intelligent traffic planning and control. Butt that is hard, unsexy, actual work that requires real engineers - not political appointees and tenured "seniority" employees.
You've never heard of the "Innocence Project", I take it.
Vengeance by the state is certainly not the same as revenge, it is a severely broken system, fed by an electorate that is easily swayed by simplistic made-up origin stories (Fox News), prosecutors who want scalps for career advancement, and in love with militaristic nonsense; and a system which is disproportionately harsh on minorities.
Well I happen to like Starbucks coffee, and so do many other people; but obviously you were trolling. Starbucks however, doesn't seem to think highly of selling coffee. I think there is honor in selling coffee (a little over the top there). But Starbucks wants to sell merchandise, breakfast sandwiches, and soon lunch sandwiches, and books. Mr. Schulz wrote two books, not sure why, they want to sell these books. Also peppermint mochas and frappuchinos.
As long as they keep a neat place with the heat going in December and lots of chairs, and the coffee (which as I mentioned, I like), it's OK to be there if you aren't a hipster, or own an i-device, and all that nonsense. You can even pay with your app or whatever if you want, I won't judge.
You can set many convenience features (and some drivetrain-related ones too, I believe) in VW-family cars. You buy a dongle and software (runs $200 and up) called VCDS (used to be VAG-COM) and connect the car to a PC or smartphone, and go to town. For example, if your car doesn't already have it, you can install a rain-light sensor, and then tell the car to roll up windows and the sunroof when it rains.
The article doesn't mention anything about access to the internet, so I take it true high-speed symmetric internet connections are available pretty universally in Germany.
You talking 2.9-3 s, most probably just a calibration error. And it's no coincidence that RLC intersections have NTOR signs, if they were the most dangerous ones to begin with.
Thing is, red light cameras catch people who are entering an intersection on red, which is illegal, dangerous, and inconsiderate (me-first-fuck-you'ers). You can argue about whether the amber/yellow should be 3 seconds or 4, and whether it was reduced in order to increase the revenue; but the minimum (federally mandated, I believe) is 3 s, and 3 s is plenty of time to stop or to go through based on conditions. RLC tickets in Chicago have a human review them, so they're not sent if conditions make it impossible to not go through (again you can argue over this).
But in the majority of situations (I'd guesstimate 99%), and RLC catches a person doing something illegal. There is no question of balancing rights and improvement in traffic conditions.
By your own premise, once you "snap your fingers and make all the guns go away in America," then the people suffering from "problems of undertreatment of the mentally ill, mistreatment of the poor, and the prevailing attitude that I'm not responsible for my own actions" will not be able to shoot anyone. Thus the murder rate would go down (since you imply it is because of these problems, and not the availability of guns, that people shoot people).

It used to be able to ID songs, now it can't.

Yeah, I was expecting to read about bio-diesel.
That's a cute statement. But irrelevant.

So does the KKK.
Cotton is unsuited for sports. Consider technical clothing, for example, this one with UPF 50. https://www.thenorthface.com/s...
Yeah, you could use your credit card through Google Wallet. I wonder if it now creates a one-time credit card for each transaction?

Oh, IR and low-E are the same?
(I meant to say "not low-e" in my original reply).
Interesting, so in AZ you prefer IR and now low-e coating.

You should tell that to the police in this country.

You can expect anything you want, but it isn't happening. Here for example, is an innocent executed by Texas using a bogus "expert."

'Cos is about the "do no evil, baby" thingie, not about the service?

Most people in that region identify with Russia. They were looking at an EU austerity regime vs free money from Russia.
Yeah, I find the original results easier to believe.

"With all-native core apps and no Java overhead , Ubuntu runs well on entry-level smartphones..."
Are there known speed benefits, or is this speculation?
