To start with, Burke says, ARCore will run on Google’s Pixel phones, and Samsung’s S8 running 7.0 Nougat and above. It’ll run on more phones, from more OEMs, in time.
"In time" is a handy phrase that can mean whatever they want it to mean. For instance, it could mean "once everyone with a current Android phone has replace it with a new one".
Check your humor detector - I think it may be malfunctioning. But here you go:
When you have a device that almost no one wants to purchase, the lack of demand means you're generally not going to run into problems acquiring the parts you need to build it. Hence, no supply chain issues.
Read TFA - they just started two years ago, and have been in the process of deploying them since then. 0-2 years is not "several years" by any stretch of the imagination.
"Nobody purchases 36,000 phones based on the judgment of one person," a source said. "I don’t care if you’re Jesus f--king Christ, you get a panel of experts."
I notice the targets are all set from the company's point of view... including customer satisfaction. However it's quite easy to meet any goal, as long as you set it low enough.
Companies like Comcast or Qwest objectively have abysmal customer satisfaction ratings; but they likely meet their internal goal for that metric. I notice, in their public communications, they always use phrasing along the lines of "giving you an even better customer service experience" - again, the trick is to set the target low and keep it relative.
I am not sure that paragraph actually indicates that the author understands astroturfing - he seems to still be talking about the reader's state of mind.
Also, I'd argue the author's understanding of statistics is flawed, since he apparently thinks a bell curve only has one side.
Smart humans have learned how to "cheat" their way around quantum limitations before... I imagine it will eventually happen with surreptitiously intercepting quantum communications as well.
But, in any case, attacking the end points is always an option.
... continuously lower prices as we invent together"
Soon we're going to start seeing Whole Foods commercials on TV. They will feature smiling Whole Foods employees, standing next to their products under a large sign with the price. Then the smiling head of Jeff Bezos will bounce into the frame, hit the price and cause it to go down.
Then the motto will appear at the end of the spot - "Whole Foods. Continuously lower prices, always."
Sounds like my LG "smart" TV from 2012. I disconnected it from the network after seeing multiple updates which served only to remove old services like Amazon.
It works just fine as a dumb flat panel connected to a third-gen Apple TV. If I want to update my "smart" services, I can just buy a newer Apple TV or a Roku box - that's a lot less expensive than a new television.
These TV manufacturers apparently want us to "upgrade" our boxes ever two or three years, which is ridiculous - and wasteful.
Is there a legitimate reason an application should be able to access your wireless network's name and/or BSSID?
We regularly see complaints from developers that Apple won't give them broad enough access to user data. However, on the face of it, this seems to be a case where an API can get access to data it has no good reason to need access to.
NodeJS is JavaScript, so you can cut down on the number of languages you are using for a Multi-Tier Application. This can allowed shared libraries across both sides Say your complex data validation check that you put on the Browser Side (as the UI layer needs this to keep people from keying in stupid stuff) then use the same code on the Logic Side, to double validate the data in case someone disables javascript on their browser.
If you use a different language on the server side, then you are probably more likely to catch errors in your logic - you're forced to think twice about the problem, and come at it from a slightly different perspective each time.
Regardless... if you're using the exact same code on both the client and the server, you are not "double validating" anything - you're just running a single check, either one or two times.
One of the things I like most about having a (3rd gen) Apple TV is AirPlay. But one of the things I don't like about the device is having to use iTunes to stream my ripped movies and TV shows to it.
Does Roku have a similar (and solid) feature that works with various computers, tablets, etc.?

If they'd just follow the WiiU playbook again, they'd have no supply chain issues at all!
You're not familiar with SANS? I'd expect any sysadmin or syasadmin-wannabe would know of them...

Didn't have to wait long for the vague "The Windows phone is so superior!
That isn't even remotely what he said - did you actually read his comment?
He said he questioned the initial decision to go with Windows Phone, even though he's "one of the last ten people on the planet with a Windows Phone".
I loved this...
"Nobody purchases 36,000 phones based on the judgment of one person," a source said. "I don’t care if you’re Jesus f--king Christ, you get a panel of experts."
No kidding. That was such a breathtakingly stupid decision she honestly deserves to lose her job because of it.

Or, in the immortal words of Inigo Montoya: "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

"Higher prices mean spacious shopping!"
I saw the title and worried this was going to be about eating babies.
I believe there is an investigation right now into whether there is evidence of collusion between Trump and Russia.
You are being entirely too sensible - knock it off.
I hope they powder up that head really good lest someone burn their retinas.
I've still got my eclipse glasses, so I'm good.
