I switched to Geico recently, and I do love their phone app. But the last few times I've needed to show my insurance card, the f**ing app wanted to force an update right then and there - so I couldn't get to the proof of insurance without a lot of dicking around. So, I went back to printing out the damn thing and keeping it in the glove box.
...Trump has his buffoonish qualities and some crazy outbursts, like building the ridiculous wall, but I just don't get the sense that he's as bad as he's made out to be, and he does have some kind of compelling traits, like being one of the first candidates to speak out against H1-Bs and not needing to kowtow to party insiders or financial donors...
By way of political synopsis, you may be right about Trump. The problem is we have to take on faith that he would turn out okay once all the election posturing is over (and by "okay" I only mean not as horrible as every other candidate.) What we see on a daily basis is pretty appalling however; if he is capable of reason and level-headedness, why not show that in the campaign?
1) Privates mangled by the equipment, company is not liable (read the fine print)
2) EULAs - you have to allow it to DNA-type you & send data to Big Cloud
3) Bot stops working, parent company no longer supports that model, pay $$$ to upgrade
4) you are still embarrassed to go out in public with your crap model, everyone else shows off much better gear
online advertising business models cannot support the salaries and infrastructure of a proper formal news organization, therefore the quality drops to a level that is supportable by the business.
For a while I thought that it was not about the story, it was about the group discussion/posts. That used to be the slashdot success for me. But that model has degraded also. Sad to say.
Not that this guy doesn't know that already; he needs to get his startup funded so let's just skip over that.
If you just need to pin-point a spot on the earth, GPS is your goto method. But as others point out, identifying a spot on earth != usable address for commercial/social/infrastructure purposes.
1) Dumb for the admins - c'mon you can't figure out how to implement policy on a date and not have it wreck old posts?
2) Dumb for the paper's management - once your online presence dries up, people will bail on your paper
3) Dumb for the readership - Why stick with a paper that has such stupid policies?
Mobile changed a lot about how UI should work. Not saying apple (or any mobile device) is always right, but a lot of UI principles from the 90's just don't apply today.
I do admit that apple went too far with new itunes player, however. Simplicity of playing all songs from an artist, or play the last 100 songs I bought at random is too hard. Also, the Siri interface, while seemingly the way out of confusing mobile UI, is too weird. I can't stand on a train and talk to my phone without feeling like an idiot.
How do you think veterinarians get their training?
Animal research does not just benefit people. It benefits many different species. Also, a lot of clinical research is done on human volunteers. Your ivory tower has blocked out an important part of this landscape.
When you run the same route each day - which I'm betting most work-a-day runners do, then you only need your time. You know your pace and cadence, forget the tech (and I have an Apple watch, plus an older Nike fuel...).
If you are running while on a work trip, maybe it helps but again, but you probably are just trying to get your workout before your meeting; fussing with workout tech just adds stress and that's what you are trying to combat with the run!
If you are running on vacation, what the hell is wrong with you (j/k)
Heart rate is a different story, but I'll save that comment for a different post.
Billions spent and the stupid thing couldn't detect a man in an ultralight headed straight for the Capital, we need to cut our losses and scrap the thing already.
Slashdot Mirror
Yep; turned 56 this year. Thank you father time for letting me in on the end game.
If you can start a viable company, why wait? Just do it now.
See, everyone can talk about their good ideas. Very, very few can execute on them - so can you do it or not?

In three weeks. Bet Tim Cook got a good chuckle from that.
But what will the unintended consequences be:?
1) Privates mangled by the equipment, company is not liable (read the fine print)
2) EULAs - you have to allow it to DNA-type you & send data to Big Cloud
3) Bot stops working, parent company no longer supports that model, pay $$$ to upgrade

Always a downside.
The robots will mine the poor people for food. Duh.
Satire != sarcasm
Teach them a framework for learning when they are young, then they will have the tools to pursue whatever they want later.

Which is why the amount of work went up when productivity went up. Duh.
Man, why didn't I choose economics as a career?
Seriously, why not just do the obvious little things and call it good enough?

dear AC,
Your gold density is wrong.

I know I am totally down for this duty. Plus, I want to drive the new Aston Martin, and hang around Monte Carlo and the Bahamas.

Texas,
Is that you? Shine on you crazy cowboys.
+1 funny (wish I had mod points today)
good post. I wish more voters and media talking heads could grasp this fact; would help a lot to weed out the nutters.
... 500 years from now, the winter solstice might be in June in the Northern Hemisphere, but honestly, who cares?
Father time.
He is pissed off and wants to talk to you about this insensitive post.

looks like someone did just that.
