Their api is trying to be too universal and monolithic.
Gay is neither good or bad. Gay is just a label. Google should be able to recognize that 'gay' means one thing when a bigot uses it, but it should also recognize that 'gay' means something else when others use it.
In other words, the meaning of words should be heavily weighed on the training data of the individual listening/reading and on the training data of the individual speaking/writing.
The letter to WeWork asks for a reply by Oct. 13 -- but so far Knotel hasn't heard a peep from its rival, according to CEO Amol Sarva.
And that's why, they don't need to reply to this stupid letter either.
If Knotel could sue them for criminal trespass, they would have. Or if Knotel had seen them going through some of their private filing cabinets, Knotel would have said so by now.
While inside the Knotel offices, visited Sept. 12-14, the luckless spies posed "as the founders of a fast-growing startup" and said they needed space for their six-person company, according to the letter.
I'm not sure why the summary would consider them "luckless".
They visited 7 out of their 8 Knotel New York locations. And either they were found out before they could get to the 8th location, or maybe they didn't care about the 8th location.
Asana is a pretty popular project management web application. At least, it was popular three years ago. I don't know about now.
If nothing else, Asana helps you keep track of what everybody is doing on your team without needing to receive a zillion emails from everyone every time they accept a job, request something, update a status, or need the approval for something.
No, I still think there should be a surcharge for stupid drivers.
If you're young and stupid and decide to watch a blockbuster movie with your DVD player sitting on your passenger seat (while keeping your hands on the wheel, because otherwise, the car gets upset at you), then you could still get into a head-on collision.
Also let's be honest here, killing an entire family with your car is probably going to be much more expensive in a place like LA or New York than a place like Arkansas. In Beverly Hills alone, a small 1 mm scratch on the wrong car could cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars.
If you meet one of those "graduates", they're incentivized to lie to you so they get a couple thousands of dollars as a referral fee.
This is one of the reasons you will see more positive reviews on Yelp than negative, some of those graduates still hold out the hope that they may still be able to recoup some of their money if they refer enough students. If they post a damning review on youtube or on yelp under their real name, they run the risk that they'll be blacklisted from the referral program. The same goes if they report that they're unemployed. It's just better if they pretend to be happily employed on LinkedIn and elsewhere if they want to keep the possibility of earning those fees.
How would you privatize police? Who would make sure to privatize the police fairly? You or some politician?
What about the people who can't pay for police? Like the homeless and the poor? Those non-customers would be harassed like crazy. I don't see how this would be an improvement over what we have today.
Airfare fees are such that everyone brings their stuff as carry-on, so there no longer room for your laptop bag if you're at the end of the line and traveling economy. Plus, because of some rumored terrorist plots, some laptops have already been banned as carry-ons for flights going to and coming back from Muslim countries (except for a couple of countries that have big enough lobbying budgets to influence the US).
Or what we didn't hear about is the other student who framed him. Changing your own grade is very risky. Changing someone's grades you don't like. That's not risky at all.
No need to call people names to make your point. But yes, saying 'no' to overtime is important.
I was only making that point because the original poster didn't seem to know why IT wasn't incentivized to install apps internally and why some departments found it just easier to open an account on the cloud somewhere and put it on their corporate American Express card.
That being said, the original poster also didn't seem to understand that we don't all deal with confidential data. And that the Equifax breaches weren't due to third-party cloud services, the breaches were due to their own web applications and due to their own incompetence.
The physical laptop is not what really matters. A laptop can be copied. Revoking the credentials is what should have been done.
It's just like if your bag gets stolen and someone drops your credit cards and your house keys on the front porch of your house. It's nice that those items made their way back to you, but it doesn't mean it's over and you better be sure to change your locks and cancel those credit cards in case someone made copies and eventually tries them out. It's the only sensible thing to do.
In this case, the employee probably left his laptop at home after his suspension, since he probably knew that he was going to get fired. But that still does not excuse the incompetence of his upper management. They needed to remove his access as soon as they found out he was being difficult.
Apple's uses a 3D scan of your face. The android one could be fooled with a photograph.
The HTC phone couldn't be fooled by a photograph. It used the camera sensor and a laser depth sensor (at least two years ago). And the LG phone couldn't be fooled by a photograph, it used a normal camera sensor plus an infrared one, that's how it could determine the depth (and that was at least three years ago).
And right now, Apple is paying $23 per iPhone to Sony for its two camera sensors: a normal low light one and an infrared one. And no, Sony didn't even give its best camera sensors to the iPhone. If you want the latest Sony camera, you'll have to purchase a Sony Xperia XZ phone which can shoot video at 960fps.
Please bookmark this post, three years from now, the latest iPhone will eventually be able to shoot at 960 fps thanks to Sony (assuming Apples pays them enough licensing fees), and some people will be raving about how the iPhone is pioneering all this crazy advanced technology that Android can't even come close to.
Also, don't believe every clickbait rumor you read. There is no way the iPhone will get rid of Touch ID. It may call it something else and it may improve on the technology by embedding into the glass itself. But there is no way it will get rid of it completely. Seriously, can you even imagine people unlocking their phone in a dark movie theater, or in a dark restroom? Or in a crowded subway? Or while driving? Even without Steve Jobs, Apple designers and Apple usability testers are not completely stupid.
You mean like the network connected smart HP photocopy/scanning machine that are almost everywhere in Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and FedEx Offices (formerly Kinkos).
Russians having access to that would be some sweet revenge. After all, we used Xerox copiers and Xerox maintenance people to keep copies of all the documents Russian government officials photocopied for years.

Most of the author's complaints seem to revolve around how most fast-pairing protocols are currently proprietary,
One fast-pairing protocol is not really proprietary.
It's just that the iPhone has decided to purposefully cripple its NFC pairing functionality until it could figure out how to extract the maximum amount of money from electronics manufacturers.
but... pairing your headphones is something you don't do very often, so it's at best a minor inconvenience.
You don't know what you're actually missing.
If you're in an UbeXr/Lyft and your phone doesn't have a headphone port for the auxiliary cord, what do you do? Are you one of those annoying people who will ask to pair your phone manually to his/her car for only a 5 minutes ride? I doubt it.
It's not just private UberXs/Lyfts/Taxis, you could also be at an event venue, a wedding reception, a family/friends' private car/boat/living room, a neighbors' picnic, a private Karaoke room, a private SPA/pool/massage room, a place with an electronic coin jukebox, a classroom/gym assuming you have staff's permission, an apartment building's shared swimming pool, a mini-gondola to get up the mountain, a football/NASCAR's skybox, a silent headphone dance party, a private champagne room, etc.
The fact is, Bluetooth pairing is still so annoying, especially with the iPhone, that you're probably not even going to want to bother.
No, normal Bluetooth headphones should work, assuming you use your phone a microphone for the other person. The translation service should also work offline as long as you're using an android phone (although, it won't be as good as the online translation).
I think this is just a marketing play because Google noticed that a different manufacturer did something similar with android hardware that one would place around one's neck and charged thousands of dollars for the device.
And I'm sorry, but your assumption(s) that non-customers would be allowed to do a speed test is just complete nonsense.
The string "/speedtest" is not some random error. The kid didn't just stumble unto it by accident. Filtering by url to give false readings of speed is a well-known marketing practice that has been going on for decades. And that practice isn't limited to cell phone carriers either, many ISPs have done something similar. If you don't believe me, I can dig up those other examples and even find examples of former ISP employees admitting as much.
Why don't we do that? I'll find examples of what I'm talking about at other companies and other ISPs, and you find examples of what you're talking about at other companies and other ISPs? Then, we can see which one of us found what he was looking for. What do you say?
You make a good argument, but it has been proven that T-Mobile has been gaming the system of speed tests.
Not that Verizon is any better by going through National Advertising Division (NAD), which belongs to the BBB. Verizon is rated A+ by the BBB and T-Mobile is rated F. And I'm sorry, Better Business Bureau, but if you're going to lie for your paid member, you should at least try to make your lie somewhat halfway believable.
There is no way in hell that anyone would believe Verizon Communications would be rated A+. I would know. I was a Verizon customer for a bit. The coverage was great, but the nickel and diming, the bait and switching, and the fraudulent charges. There is no possible way that they could get a higher rating than T-Mobile (which is what I am currently using right now and which has never tried to rip me off like Verizon was doing).

In some cases, you have no choice anymore.

The cloud may be the enemy of your company.
But if you're an exempt IT employee in the United States, unpaid overtime is your real enemy.
Keep that in mind the next time a clueless manager wants you to install and maintain a system internally you do not know much about.
No, you just don't get it.

Self-driving cars don't need to be perfectly safe.
They just need to be safer than cars with human drivers.
Or maybe, let's not.
First pick the low hanging fruits, the places with good roads and no snow most of the time.
Or the places where drivers typically fall asleep because the road is so boring and long.
That's how you build trust, very very slowly.
Thanks for the correction. I would downvote myself if I could.

No, can't you read?. Those will become obsolete.
We all need to stock up on automated gun turrets like the Samsung SGR-A1 and other advanced automated solutions.

Which is good, because I never claimed to be an investor.
