At its stand, Intel said that it will also show off eSIM technology -- the replacement for actual, physical SIM cards
They have a secret "use case" test:
[ ] Unauthorized thief can replace the eSIM as easily as a physical sim to get the stolen phone back onto a cellular provider network, who profiteers off this misery by getting a new customer funded by the victim and giving the victim the honor of having to pay them an outrageous price for a new phone because they have to keep paying the network contract including the stolen old phone anyway.
I don't mind picking up "nearby" advertising, but don't want people knowing I, myself, am driving by.
I don't really care, but don't want that info feeding into a government panopticon which can be used without a warrant.
BTW, it currently is as there are companies which install cams and face and license plate readers for cities, with an agreement it all gets fed into a national database they then feed to, I wonder who...?
It's sad to say, but the only solution to a governmental panopticon may not be restricting government to needing a warrant (which is failing miserably in the US, with Constitutional protections, to say nothing about 1984-like abuse well underway in Russia, China -- the boot stamping on a human face, forever, is already firmly lodged on half the world's population) but rather making the knowledge available to all, especially so The People can track their politicians who would abuse it to maintain their power.
Then what to do about AI assassins? Think more about robo-insects with poison.
Is there a way to check this? I'm pretty sure CNN, or one of their advertisers, is up to some funny business as the site is slow and eventually crashes its tab of Chrome when just left open.
That requires registration so the state can visit them from time to time to watch for criminality. That doesn't require licensing with respect to skill.
People go into government so they can get in the way of things so they can get paid to get back out of the way.
In most countries, corruption is so rampant, that's the only way to get ahead. In most countries in the west, they have to hide it better and use better rhetoric to get the useful idiots on their side.
Don't have to bring an "extra" $200 to the DMV to get a driver's license-or-wait-5-years?
Given hacking into things and spying on people and companies, most notably giant state and state-sponsored actors like China and Russia has had actual effects on the maintenance of power by thugocracies, I'd say prosaic criminal detection vanishes as an importance.
Exactly like the Founding Fathers observed always happened, and tried to prevent against with the core principle of the design of the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights.
Every backdoor for government "crime" so an FBI agent can get another notch in his belt means billions around the world sink a little deeper into "If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever." - George Orwell
You just proved his point, which was coal increases Chinese lifespans, for several reasons from simple heating to a powerful economy allowing the leaving of a dirt-floored existence.
Compared to that, worrying about sea rise is a foolish thing, and to hamper growth is murderous.
Few if any will die due to sea rise. Millions continue to die annually from need and want.
Before GPS they used "dead reckoning" in car map applications to take car speed and direction and map it to somewhere on the map. It could take a little while but eventually works. You draw a line with turns while driving, and the longer and more turns, the more you whittle down the possible matches.
Most people cook asparagus until it's mush. Boil for ~3 min, long enough to take off the raw but still be bright and colorful green. Don't need salt or butter or any other coverup.
It is vital that the poor in Detroit not be permitted to rent rooms for money.
Remember the city government is a kleptocracy, designed to enwealthen the city elders in their fiefdoms. They have police chauffeurs as if they were the President.
(Some irrelevant argument to the real reason) and therefore it cannot be allowed.
Follow the money -- Tried and true wisdom.
It's a sad nation where the population must kneel for permission to do new things.

Slashdot Mirror
Poor people carry ungodly powerful science fiction computers around in their pockets, and are obese from too much cheap food.
At that point, working one day a year greeting people will let you live like a king.
It'a a glorious golden age approaching, not the end of the world.
You are in the wrong market, slaving away creating while others get rich off your effort, inhaling it into their clone manufacturing warehouse.
Have they said thank you? No?
How do I attach my cart to you so you will pull it, too?

"Live Tiles"!

"Buh ih wuzzent only that!"
That was the only reason it existed.
...that the first catastrophic failure will happen somewhere else
Since when has a catastrophic failure stood in the way of capitalistic greed?
How well does non-capitalism do with respect to catastrophic failure of things, if they even ever get built?

Lucky you.
Maybe we should punish the heads of corporations for minor civil violations like they seem to want to the proletariat .
And nobody believes slashdot is affected by Russian trolls!
How about millions of dollars?
People used to complain a guy who stole a loaf of bread got a longer sentence than a white collar thief of $10 million.
Well how about a white collar thief who unlocked a door and let $10 million get looted, deliberately, and again and again?
You deserve to know who is doing it and why. What do the Russians get out of it? Reduced sanctions obviously.
And if they coordinated with Trump, what does Trump get out of it?

Why are GPUs even used? I thought custom ASIC boards outperformed GPUs so much they were relegated to the same garbage pile as CPUs.
It is mass divided by cross section of barn door plowing through the air, so no, not really. Mass is one of two variables in terminal velocity.

GPS speeds this up but doesn't replace it.
