They're already moving the banks due to brexit, even if brexit isn't confirmed...you think this will have flights next year already? take a look at the mockups. the mockup photos in the article don't even match the claims. the plane is a two seater and the article says 90 seats - so whats up with that?
but.. it's not like you wanted textures and stuff, yeah?
look, a lot of the vr stuff on the market is actually developed for cardboard(daydream) and gearvr. it doesn't really need that much to run 90fps.
also the more photorealistic you try to go the more diminishing the returns are - also partially due to that the vr displays are a bit low resolution still - going with ultra high texture counts and polygon counts doesn't really help all that much with the experience.
but this shit is _more_ true than 15 years ago! windows 2000 was _great_.
Have you tried to debug for example the problem WHY the start menu doesn't pop up sometimes? have you reached the conclusion that installing Classic start menu is a must because of that? the start menu doesn't open up because it's a METRO APP that the operating system puts into sleep/hibernation mode and DOESN'T WAKE IT UP. it saves like 2 mbytes of ram. I think it does it less if you have all kinds of ms push notifications, advertisements and such enable in the start menu to keep the os from sleeping it. there is no _easy_ way to mark it as something the os shouldn't put in the sleep state, only way I know of is to attach a debugger to it(!!!!) to prevent the os from freezing it.
this is just the pinnacle of bad user interface layer design and programming in windows 10 mind you. it affects tens of millions of pc users. of all the things you should have written as a windows program they chose to do this and not even mark it specially.
also don't ever ever take a look at the indian cuisine coding inside cortana. it will make you cry. "what do you mean take a look inside it? how the fu... oh.. the scripts.. the scriptss..".
Have you tried to disable any of the stuff you don't actually want in windows 10? have you looked into how much of it.. well, plain doesn't work. why the fuck bother with making a remote management interface that ONLY BREAKS YOUR COMPUTER and cannot be actually be used to actually "manage" anything!
also after cumulative updates, that just get installed without asking, sometimes all your network interfaces are reset - ipv6 is enabled again, all the smb shares are at their defaults and so on. all the metro apps you uninstalled are installed again.
oh and two finger scrolling doesn't work on this laptop right now because I can't be arsed to do the manual copying of the files since MS changed something since they released the drivers for this laptop and the driver installer ends up being installed in some fake sandbox location and not the right one so the driver doesn't find it's files.
but there are no such thing as defaults in a car that even gets driven to the test place. how hard you jam down on the pedal affects the "sportiness" and thus shifting points, all kinds of things affect it.
the problem is that they do the tests like this: stick it on a dyno and run a pre made program, without even fucking moving.
they should just make a tester small enough to fit in the boot or passenger area, and drive around a test track - vw's "cheating" would have had to be of different kind in that case.
also non-aerodynamic SUV's would be paying their fair share of the taxes.
now here's a test to test if this was malicious from vw or not: drive around using the pedal same way the test does. having an adaptive gearbox isn't cheating the emissions any more than having a manual and driving really slow is.
and why the tests cannot be changed in most countries easily nowadays: THEY AFFECT CAR VALUES DIRECTLY, ever since they started to move to co2 based taxing based on the test - changing it to an actual test could disrupt car prices 30-50% UP AND DOWN.
that was true a long time ago, but I doubt it being true anymore, because all stats point otherwise and it's pretty hard to find even a home applicance or electronic product that uses either of them - or even a car.
with linux running ome appliances now, tv's, phones and routers.
it's more probable that any given house had 1-4 devices running linux whilst they might have 0 running vxworks. I doubt many microwave ovens run vxworks too. probably just a microcontroller.
thing is, you can do pretty complex stuff with just microcontrollers, without a proper os to speak of, whilst anything more complicated tends to run linux. in the end there isn't really that much of things you would actually use qnx or vxworks for, even in more complex things where you would build things modularly.
for a factory thats different but there's a lot less factories than houses, you know. and even there vxworks and qnx would be much less attractive than 15 years ago. if you want realtime control you can just use a microcontroller, perhaps with megabytes of memory on the chip itself. if you need something to feed stuff to those microcontrollers you can just use a linux soc in there.
even in things like 3d printers basically nobody is even considering vxworks/qnx solutions for running them - and with qnx being in rather questionable hands at the moment nobody wants to bet on that train either.
at least if you speak about shipping embedded products, qnx and vxworks are pretty much dead.
if you count mobile phones then linux has been bigger than qnx and vxworks in embedded for more than half a decade. even in cars they are losing market share fast.
so there is no actual place in the market for qnx and vxworks anymore like they had before. even in realtime control things have changed.
well.. it's 98% as good as something you could slap in any place in any angle you want.
with this you need to ORIENT YOUR HOUSE.
oh well, at least it's a better product than their previous.. or wait, are they installing the lithium batteries in the roof? I sure hope not.
the battery pack that came with no charger and no inverter by default was a pretty shoddy thing. Musk is grasping for extra funding and selling shares like crazy.
well they can do, if you install and run some stupid app like shopkick.
also if you keep bluetooth on, then such commands could be sent through bluetooth! or camera! or gyroscope! or the touchscreen!!!!!
basically.. this article is one of those where they see something use an input and then they write that said input can be used for blabla, if you first install sw to do that. like.. make an app that detects if the user is driving via gps and gyroscope information - and boom you can now write an article about how such an app could be made to distract the driver on purpose when he is driving! think about all the risks!
if you want a different license, choose a different license. plenty of sw is now under apach2 or bsd or whatever.
basically if you release it under gplv3 then you were never intending it to be used in closed source products, which is fine.
however, they guys could if they were just distributing android sw claim that the source code is included, just decompile the app.:D. if they would push it through a decompile-recompile loop _before_ release, then for android it would take care of that already, since it would be the source code that you get when you decompile it.
..look, if you write it into synopsis and PLAN for the whole series that it is a female minority then yeah it kind of is pushing diversity.
notice that they didn't specify something like "a female of asian descent" or "a funny fat black woman" - they had no idea what the plot is going to be besides facing odds and prejudice and prevailing against misogynist racist system by pure talent of the person. sounds nice yeah? sounds like star trek? of course not.
they had not decided on anything else than it is a woman and minority. never mind it has not been addressed that much which race is in minority in star trek except that nobody is really and they are all equal.
"so who is in this show? janet jackson? selma hayek?" "uh I don't know. it's just some female minority person, we can sort it out later" "so do I write the backstory as someone from.. where exactly? lost the family at a young age or what?" "hmm that doesnt matter, just make it very female struggle and put some racism in the backstory too so it's very good".
who the fuck designs a tv show like that - that's what I want to know. how many female captains there are in USA navy at the moment anyways? if you want to know why captains in star trek og series were all male. I doubt they thought up any backstory to that.
Is only like under 10 percent of the market. for messaging app standpoint, those phones DO NOT MATTER AT ALL.
what matters is that majority of the people are buying non-iphones and using messaging apps available on android - this _forces_ iphone users to use another messaging platform as there really isn't a choice. if they don't want their messaging platform to die next year they have to port it over to android. there is no question about it. it's that they either port it over or users will gradually move to something else. it might already be too late for them - in asia it certainly is already a lost game for apple, since everyone, including _all_ apple users, are already tied to some other messaging platforms that _are_ multi platform...oh and a far majority if iphones sold is also previous generation iphones. something that western living people seem to totally forget or be unaware of, which makes apples sw cycles even more ridiculously short. I mean, you could buy brand new iphone5s just a few months ago. not refurbished, but brand new. that was the highest selling iphone model at the time, simply due to it's cost(about 240 bucks). it will be obsoleted in os updates maybe later the same fucking year they were still churning them out. that's ridiculous.
they all use whatsapp, facebook messenger, line, snapchat or something else.
what would Apple get out of it? well for one, it would make imessaging a relevant messaging platform.
you see, if Apple users cannot message with non Apple users then the Apple users will also use line, whatsapp, fb messenger or whatever else - and if you're an apple user in a market where most users cannot afford apple products then you either message with nobody or you adapt and use some other app(it's really of no bother to them anyways to use some other app).
basically, if they don't port it over it will become irrelevant even to apple users - or rather it is already an irrelevant piece of software. nobody cares about it, globally.
you cannot vendor lock in with a messaging app at this day and age. it's more like a vendor LOCK OUT.
if you fell for that explanation to buy an iphone for your kid then you got bamboooozled by your kid, sorry. you just wasted approximately 400 bucks, depending on which model you bought. the kid would have been just fine to message with his friends on any other smartphone platform.
like, seriously, you think this is 2001 and you were shopping a blackberry? come on.
you have to look at twitters history from inception to today.
first off it was hacked together on pretty shitty codebase, which made scaling the service EXTREMELY expensive. they've since moved to different codebase that for some reason seems to be just as expensive to run. even back in the day when similar sized irc networks(to what size twitter was back then) were ran for _pennies_ twitters network was 100x more expensive to run. it's kind of amazing how they managed to do that and not have anyone tell them that their ideas were stupid and that they could have saved a lot of money.
basically, twitter _technical_design_ from day 1 was such that it could not scale to be profitable - which is kind of amazing since there were off the shelf products even back then that would have done it way, wayyy cheaper and with way, way more features.
actually part of twitters early rise was tied solely to american telcos way of screwing over it's customers. namely that you buy text messages as a package _and_ that incoming messages are part of said package, which let twitter send you info kind of free (for them anyways).
I think another thing that happened was that they hired 2000 sales people without thinking what they were going to ask those 2000 sales people actually sell (and if they had something to sell why the fuck they would need sales people to sell it anyways).
another big fuckup from twitter was that they missed their sales window - being unable to scale to profitability would not have been such a problem if they had sold out to ms or someone else 5 years ago, though even then it might have been hard to get a sum out to pay the previous investors - what happened between 5 years and today? well everybody knows already that twitter is just.. twitter. it's not the next facebook - it's the next myspace - and even dimmer buyers know that twitters tech is worth shit ALL NOTHING. for example, if their tech would scale at pennies then all the limits about message lengths and content, client apps and all that would be understandable - but it has all the downsides of a highly optimized system without any cost benefits of such a system.
and well.. another reason to the high headcounts is simply this: the more people work under you the more money you will get paid (out of the investors money). it was just a way to pump out the cash from the sinking ship....or to put more simply: it began as a fucking one liner message wall script for bloggers by bloggers who never bothered to learn anything else because blogs. it was just links to blogs with couple of comment lines. made with _blog_ technology. by people who for some reason ignored _all_ cheap off the shelf scalable methods to achieve the same fucking thing when they made it. and it got popular enough that said bloghipsters could manage to get enough funding to run it for a decade burning money all the way(and pocketing a lot of it in the process).
oh but the way to get router manufacturers implement the technical fix is the legislative way.
because, the article is about how they aren't doing it otherwise..
or how about this for a technical and legislative both fix.. mandate transparent http proxies on all connections and make half the protocols unusable and everything insecure!
where they recommend that? a link would be appreciated.
also, I find that strange, since snow conditions and friction changes on winter roads rather abruptly in a fashion that would be pretty damn hard for a computer vision/radar system to know. like having ice in a tight turn...or have you just been reading musks tweets rather than what he thinks as marketing?
usa doesn't extradite american hackers so why would any country send anyone in for the same thing is beyond me.
oh and.. well. about abducting people. this is hardly the best example of it since it's going through authorities and usa has demonstrated the will and ability to do it even without authorization.
wouldn't it be simpler if you didn't need to carry around an adapter?
wouldn't it be nicer if you could just go in a hotel room and attach your laptop via hdmi cable thats already in the hotel room(for tv box) to connect your laptop to it?
that is: are you reaaaaaaaaally only going places that have hdmi displays but don't have any hdmi cables already? because that's pretty dang strange.
"but Apple's inclusion of an SD card slot, slow as it is, has been a significant driving force in pushing camera companies to move to SD instead of CF, and has resulted in standardization that otherwise would not have happened." -- okay I give up you are full waist deep in the RDF already if you believe this really and not for example reasons such as sd cards are smaller and there's this class of devices that shipped by the BILLIONS that uses them. cameras don't matter jack shit.
And yeah, there is a warning that goes off if the driver takes their hands of the wheel.
that was a retrofit. and now they are saying that the HARDWARE is capable of autonomous driving... of course it's not, not in the sense any consumer thinks of it.
I'm seriously skeptical because the autopilot they have shipped is just the same as other manufacturers have shipped and indeed was based on off the shelf hw/sw solution ONLY WITH THE FUCKING SAFETIES DISABLED!!!!. that's not engineering - that's marketing and irresponsible product design.
you're forgetting one thing - they don't have the AI to do it. they may never have. the cars electronics might never be able to. a human that was watching all that sensor information might be able to drive with just them.
why Tesla would be so stupid to make this press release right now is seriously puzzling. why they would be so stupid as to sell a vaporware pre-order prodcut they probably cannot deliver is equally puzzling and stupid.
they don't know the requirements so how they can know they can deliver? and now they are further implying that autopilot is a term for a self driving! making their case of "it doesn't mean self driving" be even in worse place.
and please no comments that Musk knows what he is doing when the only thing he knew how to provably be involved in profitably was a bank that was not a bank.
sounds like the guy who was interviewed in a suburb republican headquarter with 0 black guys, who should know the racial demographics map of his city - and who then proceeded to say that being republican or democratic in that particular city has nothing to do with being black or white - despite the demographic maps lining up exactly!
Just because something isn't done yet doesn't mean they don't know how to do it. Tesla has self-driving software under test, that mostly works with their current cars. It is not yet ready for the public, but that isn't because of any deficiencies in the sensors.
They don't know that! thats why it's a joke to call them level 5 capable! A TOTAL FRAUD by your pal Musk...and really, didn't you learn anything from last 6 months? Teslas self driving autopilot they have released so far is basically just this: take lane assist and remove safeties and boom you have a lane follow "autopilot".
they don't know if they are level 5 capable sensors, because they have not made them capable of that. they don't know if they are good enough to spot pedestrians(probably know that they are not!!!!!!).
remember level 5 would mean that you could just leave it to drive alone by itself at night from vegas to downtown los angeles. they are just saying that in theory it's level 5 capable if someone figures out all the rest.. but in reality, they cannot really say if the sensors are good enough or not because they can only say that after they test their working level 5 implementation that doesn't kill people.
paying attention to multiple people at the same time, now that's a problem. project management software that _automates_ pestering of the people who are supposed to be working isn't really that big of a help either...

They're already moving the banks due to brexit, even if brexit isn't confirmed. ..you think this will have flights next year already? take a look at the mockups. the mockup photos in the article don't even match the claims. the plane is a two seater and the article says 90 seats - so whats up with that?
but.. it's not like you wanted textures and stuff, yeah?
look, a lot of the vr stuff on the market is actually developed for cardboard(daydream) and gearvr. it doesn't really need that much to run 90fps.
also the more photorealistic you try to go the more diminishing the returns are - also partially due to that the vr displays are a bit low resolution still - going with ultra high texture counts and polygon counts doesn't really help all that much with the experience.
I'm writing this on a windows 10 computer.
but this shit is _more_ true than 15 years ago! windows 2000 was _great_.
Have you tried to debug for example the problem WHY the start menu doesn't pop up sometimes? have you reached the conclusion that installing Classic start menu is a must because of that? the start menu doesn't open up because it's a METRO APP that the operating system puts into sleep/hibernation mode and DOESN'T WAKE IT UP. it saves like 2 mbytes of ram. I think it does it less if you have all kinds of ms push notifications, advertisements and such enable in the start menu to keep the os from sleeping it. there is no _easy_ way to mark it as something the os shouldn't put in the sleep state, only way I know of is to attach a debugger to it(!!!!) to prevent the os from freezing it.

for old timers they would need to be rich old timers because..
well. "for nothing more than the cost of film and developing" was quite significant.
basically what they did was rip screeners and put them on their google docs. probably a few of those ended up getting copied to wider net.
why warner would care is that those screeners were never meant to be opened by or even watched by anyone else than the recipient personally.

And yeah, there is a warning that goes off if the driver takes their hands of the wheel.
that was a retrofit. and now they are saying that the HARDWARE is capable of autonomous driving. .. of course it's not, not in the sense any consumer thinks of it.
I'm seriously skeptical because the autopilot they have shipped is just the same as other manufacturers have shipped and indeed was based on off the shelf hw/sw solution ONLY WITH THE FUCKING SAFETIES DISABLED!!!!. that's not engineering - that's marketing and irresponsible product design.
you're forgetting one thing - they don't have the AI to do it. they may never have. the cars electronics might never be able to. a human that was watching all that sensor information might be able to drive with just them.
why Tesla would be so stupid to make this press release right now is seriously puzzling. why they would be so stupid as to sell a vaporware pre-order prodcut they probably cannot deliver is equally puzzling and stupid.
they don't know the requirements so how they can know they can deliver? and now they are further implying that autopilot is a term for a self driving! making their case of "it doesn't mean self driving" be even in worse place.
and please no comments that Musk knows what he is doing when the only thing he knew how to provably be involved in profitably was a bank that was not a bank.
well it is kind of worth it.
but today is 20. already so.. it will be today.
sounds like the guy who was interviewed in a suburb republican headquarter with 0 black guys, who should know the racial demographics map of his city - and who then proceeded to say that being republican or democratic in that particular city has nothing to do with being black or white - despite the demographic maps lining up exactly!
..but the only thing that trump has openly admitted to that will be his policy is tax breaks for the rich and corporations!
Just because something isn't done yet doesn't mean they don't know how to do it. Tesla has self-driving software under test, that mostly works with their current cars. It is not yet ready for the public, but that isn't because of any deficiencies in the sensors.
They don't know that! thats why it's a joke to call them level 5 capable! A TOTAL FRAUD by your pal Musk. ..and really, didn't you learn anything from last 6 months? Teslas self driving autopilot they have released so far is basically just this: take lane assist and remove safeties and boom you have a lane follow "autopilot".
they don't know if they are level 5 capable sensors, because they have not made them capable of that. they don't know if they are good enough to spot pedestrians(probably know that they are not!!!!!!).
remember level 5 would mean that you could just leave it to drive alone by itself at night from vegas to downtown los angeles. they are just saying that in theory it's level 5 capable if someone figures out all the rest.. but in reality, they cannot really say if the sensors are good enough or not because they can only say that after they test their working level 5 implementation that doesn't kill people.
well, people _can_ multitask.
paying attention to multiple people at the same time, now that's a problem. project management software that _automates_ pestering of the people who are supposed to be working isn't really that big of a help either...
