  1. How is this different from people listening to random music played on radio and artists still getting payed next to nothing?

  2. Re:More advertising data on New Google Trusted Contacts Service Shares User Location In Real Time (onthewire.io) · · Score: 1

    That actually could still be only generated by waze users.

  3. Not really, it already is solved, e.g SSL except for the delayed delivery part. Both machines have private and public keys. The sender encrypts the message using the public key of the recipient. Encrypted message can be stored at unsecure server. Receiver requests the message and decrypts it with it's private key.

  4. Also some have eSata ports, which is as native for speed as it gets.

  5. Actually we know for sure parent is not vegan, otherwise s/he would have told us.

    Let me quote the guy:

    They don't want to feel silly or embarrassed that they believed in a lie their whole life (who does?), so naturally they're resistant to accepting that it's all baloney. For a lot of them it's not directly their fault that they believed the story. It is, however, directly their fault that they don't stop believing in it once they're shown evidence to the contrary.

  7. Re:5G is Ka band on Next Generation of Wireless -- 5G -- Is All Hype (backchannel.com) · · Score: 1

    Maybe one day you can cook an egg with 5 of these in circle, thats what "5" in 5G stands for.

    So how about you list a few of those killer features new versions of Word have given you?

    Let me guess. Calibri is a top notch font you say?

  11. Re:what is missing is that orders continue to rise on Tesla Posts 13th Straight Loss, Says On Track For Second-Half Deliveries (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Even if they met all their manufacturing goals they would still be short of cars to sell. And I still fail to see why greater demand is a problem, while the fact that they don't change the prices to reflect the scarcity of the product is probably part of the bigger plan. And how on Earth can someone be sued for not delivering preordered product if they are still willing to give the money back, is beyond me. Amurica too much?

  12. You must be either ignoring the facts or purposefully trying to mislead readers.

  13. Re:how can it be a new feature on Android's New Feature Can Share Your Exact Location In Emergency Situation (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    The actual news part here is there are two countries which will receive and make use of that information.

  14. The user has to call 911 (or whatever). That's enough of indication you or someone nearby needs help.

  15. Cell phone tower's location information and GPS location from the phone? Depends on the site but especially in rural areas phone tower could give you just a approximation several kilometers wide, while even random GPS in your phone narrows it down to ~5 meters (15 feet).
