Interfaces for controlling media are very inconsistent. Even YouTube doesn't have a way to skip back a few seconds, and it's very difficult to go back a bit using the position bar in a long video. Some apps have a back button on the lock screen, but Chromecast tends to disconnect a lot so you end up having to unlock your phone still to do anything.
Yeah, serviceable. I've been using a Chromecast for a year and it does the job, just a little awkward at times. I think I'd much rather have a full Android TV device.
Most people spend a pretty small amount of time actually in an ocean. While you're actually in the shark's environment it sounds like you're quite a bit more likely to be attacked by a shark.
Yes, we are a very long way from letting these things operate completely autonomously, but they don't need to. The drones can be operated remotely by human operators, then once the decision has been made to engage a target the drone switches over to automatic for the actual combat.
Google's phones haven't had removable batteries since the Galaxy Nexus 4 years ago, and haven't had SD cards since the original Nexus 1 about 6 years ago. These things aren't going bye-bye, they're already long gone.
We already do this. In some surgeries the body is cooled to the point where the brain and heart cease to function temporarily. But in normal situations the cells of the body, especially the important ones in our brain, are not capable of being awoken long after we stop breathing. At normal temperatures brain damage begins within minutes and that can not be undone.
I'm pretty sure no gun store told the FBI that this guy seemed suspicious. They told the FBI that *a* guy seemed suspicious, but they didn't have any information to provide about who the guy was.
Yeah, the implementation was certainly poor. I think something as simple as limiting the offer to one per customer could have helped a lot. It was one per line, so there were some customers getting as many as 7 pizzas for just their family.
Actually a limitation of free pizzas for the first 100 customers per store was specified in the promotion's fine print. Of course fine print can't protect them from the anger of customers who didn't bother to read it.
We are only detecting the last split second of a multi billion year process, so yeah pretty rare that the orbiting black holes are in a detectable state.
Yes, the black holes had been circling each other for billions of years and slowly leaking energy in the form of gravity waves which resulted in them gradually moving towards each other. As their orbits tightened their orbital velocities increased and it was only in the very last fraction of a second before this long process ended that they were orbiting fast enough to create waves we could detect.
It's unlikely there is a literal singularity at the center of a black hole, but we have no theories that can make sense of what's actually going on beyond the event horizon.
The waves aren't smaller than expected, this recent upgrade is actually the first time they had an instrument they thought would be sensitive enough to detect a gravity wave.

So what's your point? There are best and worst examples of government management just as their are best and worst examples of corporate management.
I bought the wired adapter for the Chromecast for about $15. It works fine. You still need wireless to set the device up however.

Chromecast is great for the price, but not having a real remote control kinda sucks.
I don't. Of the available options, the window is typically the most enjoyable by far.
Ok, if that's what you need to feel like a special little snowflake.

I've yet to see any form of public transit without windows. People wouldn't ride it.
I figured that it was a reference to the Matrix of some sort, but for the life of me I can't figure out what it's supposed to mean.

Technically do you ever really "die"?
That's a good question
Nothing goes to waste, but it's just not "you" any more.
Oh right. Never mind then.

That's true, but in cancer patients a lot already has gone wrong from random changes to their code.
They didn't do a background check because they didn't trust the guy and told him to go somewhere else without starting any transaction.
It's Boston Dynamics, what else would they be working on?

Thank you for the detailed response. Yeah, my comment was poorly worded, I shouldn't have said beyond the event horizon.
