Each frame of the game is roughly 0.03 seconds so it's not actually possible to get 5.52 - you should claim your record is 5.54 instead
well todd didn't bother with such finesse so why should him? (the guy had some other games, where you couldn't even get a score ending in a 5 yet he put in a score with that into the tg db..
Tesla is where it counts in the technological-sense.
can you show any tesla inhouse developed technology worth something? like, literally, anything would count.
do they really have some sort of a technological advance against bmw? especially in manufacturing which is where the profits are at (or not). tesla has better robots? better metallurgy? better composite material understanding? I mean seriously, bmw is chock full of technology.
tesla doesn't have any new technology so what is it based on? on tweets musk made that some autopilot from 5 years now might be autonomous? while vw and bmw are actually further in the research for those???
But what the hell is the point of having an automatic driving system if you have to sit there waiting for that split second between when you realize the autopilot isn't working and when the accident occurs?
The point is to sell it to idiots who don't understand it - and tesla managed that bit quite well. the appearance they wanted to sell was that it could drive itself on the freeway, because that has a cool factor to it.
lane follow assist? pssh, thats like what every 100k luxury sedan has. so they had to one up it, by overselling the feature(and yes tesla model s autopilot is just lanewarning & breaking assist hacked to do what it does, quite literally that was the extent of in-house research they did to it, to wire it up from assists to control and take out some driver awake assurances while at it).
so, there really isn't any point to it since you still have to be pretend driving all the time or risk dying or killing someone.
yeah so they don't have a kernel, they don't have an interface, they don't have apps..
they have just screen mockups and no interface paradigm ready either..
who cares. really whooo caaareess? these are dime a dozen. jut put some actual physical buttons on the sides of the phone for taskswitching and thats enough kthxbye.
sure if you buy them new and expensive they will have decent run.
but apple sells them 4+ years, making the support for a large part of the buyers(asians) a year and a half if that.
nevermind the thing that made the updates make them less usable and slower...
now the reason for this is that Apple actually does have cheapo phones on the market - their old models. well, not that cheap, 5s is still 9 900 baht (220 bucks or around).
aaand you think people are not buying them? well they are.
the thing about why they got it so early and why they stagnated now, is that as you might remember if you read slashdot and wasnt a total fanboi, tesla bought the lane warning camera technology from a 3rd party provider(that provides many makers) and then against the wishes of said provider hacked the lane warning system to work as autopilot - which, if you think about it, is basically a grad project - just wire the logic to the values you get out of that system. it works, but it's neither safe, good or provided tesla with something to move forward with(since it was just a hack, basically).
so them hacking the providers lane detection system to work as autopilot is why they got so far ahead in the game early, but it was not a) their technology b) used in the manner the provider had meant it to be used.
and look, the investors are getting tired of tesla. that's why musk is shitting bricks. it's already on borrowed time and the big makers will enter the market big time when it is profitable. the only recourse tesla has against that is if they can get their designs and production facilities to operate cheaply enough - you don't make money by losing money. the superfactory is online so this year they either make money or will face difficulties securing new money, and so far it's not looking that bright.
the problem with teslas technology, again, is that they have no unique technology and they never have had unique technology that was more efficient, better or cheaper than competitors have. you can't make a technology company if you can't make things either cheaper or better and preferably both.
smartphones were translated to the translation of smartphone from the day 1.
pda's never got popular so they were just pda's though.
now smartphones are just phones anyways in common language use, so it's kind of moot point. there's a slang word for mobile phones that got accepted to pretty much official use though, since "travel phone" translation is a long word(matkapuhelin), so nobody wanted to really use that one in everyday talk - instead a wired phone has been dubbed as the wirephone(lankapuhelin) to not confuse people. somebody speaks of a phone they mean a mobile phone unless they specify that it's wired.
it's not that they haven't tried other stupid stuff over the years though, like television being visual radio(in translated form). never took off because tv or television rolls off the tongue better.
once it got in, it probably spread by human-human parasite infections.. however, such a contamination would die off quickly, while a rat population would get it out of quarantine. I'd imagine.
it's just a model they made up anyways. could be just that the humans in one place got infected from the same rats and the rats travelled with the humans(likely). because that would shorten the loop, it wouldnt have to be human->rat->human, just rat->human. what they are suggesting is that their model shows that it would have been human->human, because human->rat->human would have been too slow(personally I don't see it as making it that much slower).
however, I suspect google paid them off to emphasize accessibility service use, so google can remove it and cite that as reason.
because you know, if you have root, they can get the views without the accessibility server as well(this is necessary so they get the text fields contents without having to screencap the entire thing, which would work just as fine for spying as well).
and yes I have written an accessibility service for android - it was necessary so that I could know what app is in foreground, it's necessary because google removed other options for knowing that. it's a kiosk mode application/manager so it's not really any security issue to the user as such..
cost of oil, coal and such is dictated at the moment by market factors - what kind of money can you get by selling it. basically what this means is that if demand goes down they can sell it for cheaper than they are selling it at now.. also for the same reason price of oil will never(in our life) double, since at that point making alternative liquid from coal would be profitable.
anyhow, if it's going to go so low in just two years what kind of an idiot would buy solar _now_ ?
anyhow coal is cheap for the chinese because they have it already. pretty fucking hard to compete with that on price alone.
aanyhow.. would maybe be interesting to read how they projected the costs, how long they assume the solar installation is running without replacing it, since you could tweak those projections to half the energy cost(over lifetime of the plant) quite easily, but then you get to things like interest rate on the invested money and so on.
..it's a ployt for the team scanning the fine arts to justify their funding.
I mean come on, the whole concept is as simple as it gets - run facial recognition on the database and return the best match.
it might serve some purpose for working as a warning for why maybe you shouldn't rely on facial recognition... because, come on, people aren't as unique as they seem once you scale things up.
make huge dev centers in India and China. then fire a bunch of developers in country of origin of said company, because they don't have good projects to work on(they didn't before either).
product gets developed in reality by remaining developers in country of origin. the developers in the 3rd world dev centers drink tea and work on some fluff projects. sometime later the 3rd world center gets shuttered for saving money, possibly as the company folds.
nokia did just this for example, ibm did this.
with in case of nokia, the thing is, that they had already way too many developers in the country of origin that they had jack all shit to work on that mattered to the company - making the extra dev centers was purely political and useless(nokia had thousands of people working on symbian, but only 5% of them did anything that went to the products and half of those were subcontractors).
development work does not scale above a certain limit prettily. but big companies can't scale back either so they try to scale up and scaling up in 3rd world countries is cheaper even if it doesn't provide results. note that the problem itself isn't really using 3rd world developers either, it's that you can't just make a product better by hiring thousands of developers - it just makes making the product better vastly more complicated political affair, even when talking about changing few lines of code to add some functionality the executives actually want in.
you don't really get it do you? they made it run slower on purpose.
but they will use their excuse that it was to save battery life and money for the customer.
never mind dude that.. it's made on purpose to not be repairable and you cannot change the battery and the battery fails after 2 years as per spec to the level where they started slowing them down on purpose, without telling the customer.
and yeah most people would accept such tradeoffs. but you can't buy a high end internals phone with a removable cover and battery nowadays.
just order it online. not that hard. beats the crap out of that eee. beg for a keyboard to use at home and you should be set.
or just buy a laptop and a smartphone like everyone else. or just a smartphone and run some of the desktop-linux-on-android kits. it's still gonna beat that eee.
I was thinking more like wait what is this news and ideas from 2001 or whenever the fuck.....ok dude, build it. build a version that works and moves info. and put some warez on it. see if it keeps working.
mesh was all the rage at the dawn of wifi. turns out, it's not that easy to make it practical so that people would use it.
also, yeah, it would be practical if the internet were dead. but it's not.
the watch has apps or at least app stubs however you like to call them..
a "featurephone" ? nah. whats the point. even featurephones have apps though, however you can't multitask on them(according to the 15 year old spec about what is what).
on a related note, the first iphone didn't fill the requirements for a smartphone in analyst categories prior to iphone. neither did wp7.
well.. back in the day.. early '90s, it was basically the only book series with dragons, dwarves and elves in the library and it's pretty okay.
otherwise whats the point? well maybe do the story as it is in the books? I mean jackson just shat all over the growth story of the hobbits in the ending of his movie.
it's been done already? that doesn't bother everybody. do you know that in Thailand they remake frigging soap operas. with exact same plot. sometimes with same actors.'
besides than that a lot of the the monsters and stuff in d&d was just lifted from there - and if you wanted to find some cool dragon paintings in a book, getting lotr illustrations was the way to go in early '90s.
That aside, this attitude is why BlackBerry collapsed. People wanted security. They got complicity instead
..the decline of blackberry had nothing do with security.
but it did have everything to do with being unable to sell phones on any operator-bundling free market. they got used to that they had an operator in their pocket with their servers running at the operator and those traffics got priority and using their push technology. that became irrelevant before 2010 and they have been going downhill ever since and the operator bundling of really expensive phones where the customer doesn't understand the cost went to iphone.
they had value because they were not scanned and distributed freely. if someone wanted to make a book of the two fellows for example, this could have had much more value as it was...
however, since they weren't put in a fireproof housing, I kinda doubt the insurer is willing to pay 2 mil for them - that and the company really didn't give a rats ass about them apparently.

they could be using intel chipped phones.
though I really doubt it. never sold well.
also, ANY older than marshmallow phone has probably a dozen ways to gain root on it, so it doesn't even matter.
once it got in, it probably spread by human-human parasite infections.. however, such a contamination would die off quickly, while a rat population would get it out of quarantine. I'd imagine.

two sides.
it's true anyways.

there's a timer on sending some packets.
send every x seconds.
when it's in sleep, it sends it for whatever it missed when sleeping. probably same data, I suppose.
a not that uncommon glitch.
it just proves google doesn't give a fuck about quality anymore than others.

the actual problem is that at least from the blurb the "app" compares the images.
