2) Requires everyone standardize their cars to a particular drone. Not going to happen.
3) Requires everyone standardize their cars to a particular chassis, and more to the point bans monocoque. Not going to happen.
4) Requires everyone to use other peoples' chassis. Regardless of their condition. Without even knowing what condition they're going to be in.
Ever heard of containerization? Kind of swept through the shipping industry and completely changed truck, train and ship industries. No reason it couldn't happen to transportation.
So if 1.6 billion of the 2.4 billion smart phones in use today were purchased in the past year, does that suggest that on average over half the world's smart phones last under a year?
You should also look at the/. story today about how the Brexit vote and Trump used psychometric profiles for similar "new technologies make unexpected outcomes happen".
Which story was that? Not sarcastic, that actually sounds interesting but I can't find it.
I can understand people being locked out of their rooms. But if they're being locked in they're in massive violation of fire safety laws.
They probably weren't physically trapped, but without being able to re-enter they couldn't leave if they wanted to keep their belongings.
As for manual keys as backup for staff entry, most hotel theft - just like most retail theft - is perpetrated by staff. The electronic doors keep track of which employees are in which rooms so they can investigate complaints of theft.
These specific issues are related to modifications Samsung made to to the Android telephony framework and are found in a Samsung-specific application for handling carrier messages.
Good thing they didn't use the stock Android functionality. Almost makes me agree with the conspiracy guys saying this was the government mandated backdoor.
All we can do is read Don Quixote and laugh at how apt it is so many centuries later. People hate change and cling to a golden age that never happened - by charging at windmills!
If I ran a wind power company, it would be named Quixote Enterprises. And taking a page from the Mafia, the CEO's official title would be Don.
Meta's AI recognizes authors and citations between papers so it can surface the most important research instead of just what has the best SEO.
That's literally the definition of SEO. All they're saying is that their algorithm is slightly different from Google's. Though considering how closely Google guards the details of theirs, it's hard to say how Meta will actually be different. And if this takes off, how long before people start gaming the Meta algorithm?
The data further show that the majority of US adults (69%) know that piracy is illegal. Interestingly, this also means that a large chunk of the population believes that they're doing nothing wrong.
No. That means 31% of the population doesn't know the law, which is a little hard to believe.
Knowing that it's illegal and believing that you're doing something wrong are completely different issues.
That article does a lot of assertion without much in the way of persuasion or offering an alternative model. It's got an interesting premise - that describing the brain in terms and metaphors that come from computing may obscure rather than illuminate its functioning - but the few examples given weren't persuasive.
Being outraged by imaginary problems and not bothering to confirm anything before seems to be the new norm. You'll fit right in.
No, the problem was the summary: "The phones are attractive because they contain no bloatware, competing services, and a lack of software and security updates"
Parallel construction grammar fail. That should have read, "The phones are attractive because they contain no bloatware, no competing services, and won't lack software and security updates." The summary meant to negate all three parts.

Invite large numbers of random people with no stake to vote on things, and you will inevitably get Teamy McTeamface.
Then let the guys who actually own everything have a veto and you get Screaming Eagles.

First off, if that were true, then all the reporting is erroneous, since that's "locked out" of rooms, NOT "locked in."
According to the update, yup, that.

A weaponized swarm of bees. Wonderful. Didn't Minority Report has something similar to that?
Not sure, but Black Mirror did.
Can we get Zev first?
It probably recognizes the new name better if you say it in a Scottish accent.

Yeah, I'd like a bit more detail. For a v 0.1 though, it works easily and consistently, and that's half the battle.
I use voice recognition a lot on my phone because it is easier to say "show me the 5 day forecast" than to try to navigate the menus.
This.
"OK Google ... what's the weather? ... OK Google ... How's my commute?" Every morning.
What they really need is "star trek" like sliding doors when it knows what you need before you even realize it. That would be awesome.
Will they make the "shhhh" sound as they open? TAKE MY MONEY!

Lesbian sharks are always relevant.
Would that be a bull shark?
Why does it have a boob-powered flux capacitor?

That's not making any pharmaceutical companies rich.
In 2012 it was making them $29 billion per year.
By 2014 it was $100 billion.
If that's not making anyone rich, they need better accountants.

and LSD.
"This shit will make you taste colors."
Hmm, maybe it really will.
firstly just because someone else got away with something doesn't mean you shouldn't punish someone who INTENTIONALLY broke the law for profit.
Straw man. You could just as easily read what I said to mean the bankers should have been punished. Which is what I meant.
secondly many of the people that lost their homes did so because of their own greed and stupidity
And many lost them because banks fraudulently filed paperwork that the homeowner wasn't aware of.
if you overleverage yourself without doing some basic research then you are at least partly responsible for the rod you created for your back.
And if the research you do is to ask the bank questions, and what they tell you is false, whose responsibility is that?
Many of those CEO's were definitely incompetent and should be sacked, being incompetent is not a criminal offense though.
Fraud is a criminal offense.
10 years for bad-evil-scary hacking, that is alleged to have affected 16,000 people, but nothing for the CEOs who burned down the economy and that were putting nearly 135,000 families per quarter out of their homes in 2002.
Aww, come on? Whoever modded that down obviously didn't get either reference.
