Perhaps not. There's probably a reason behind the question -- human nature expects that if a tool solves one problem, you can reuse it to solve another. So a wrench which fixes the car will also work in the kitchen.
And Word's "compact visualizations of branched undo/redo histories" (which I doubt) functionality can be reused.
Probably a good time to bring up opensource. And maybe software patents, FRAND licensing and git visualization tools... depending how far down the rabbit hole that conversation goes.:)
Well, isn't HDCP really someone else's computer *fully* determining what you see? If it encrypts the monitor's image stream, can't it modify it?
What if you've got an HDCP-protected YouTube stream playing in the background as you're logged on to Net-banking and then happen to click the browser's address bar? Could HDCP *hardware* insert a fake 're-enter your banking credentials' message and image-capture your password as it appears in the address bar? Remember "Reflections on trusting trust" and the Intel management engine vulnerability.
Ah, the great approximator arrives - one of many categories of scientific troll. It's been an interesting and very informative series of posts by the PhD guy. You need not respect his qualifications but respect his efforts to seek the truth.
Er, it's not just the hardware. Its *never* just the hardware. It's the intelligence in the software that makes or breaks a system. The software isn't there yet.
Will a driverless car take instructions from a cop in the middle of the road, directing traffic in an emergency?
40 hours of gameplay to unlock... 15-20 hours per week... 10 hours per week... 80+ hours per week.... unlock one hero before the end of November... one or two before Thanksgiving.... two or three before Christmas
Wow. Just wow. And me, belonging to the idspispopd generation.

He's right, of course. The problem is diminishing attention spans force authors to 'illustrate' their articles to grab attention -- the eye imbibes images faster than text. Sometimes it's well done -- the author went to upwork and commissioned original art by an artist -- sometimes not (stock images). Now attention spans are diminishing further, and people are shifting to video. The eye imbibes movement faster than art. Mark my words, stock video will soon be a thing for most articles.
The problem is attention isn't free. It's a limited resource. When surfing the unmediated web, we suffer information overload. That's why people prefer curated feeds like Instagram, LinkedIn and Facebook. But again, those mediators really don't work for us -- their don't always have our best interests at heart. For that we need Intelligent Agents that are owned by you, and that work for you, curating and mediating your experience.
Or drop it off in the boot of your parked car - something Walmart was trialling. If your car was in an access restricted office carpark, the delivery driver would need to arrange access with the office centre management (something many professional delivery contractors do anyway). That, and a little radio device plugged into your car's diagnostic port, with an altimeter (for multilevel carparks), and mesh networking capability (to talk to peers and nearby mobile devices to get it's bearing, and to hear the 'Open Sesame' request by the delivery driver ), and the ability to pop the boot, may do the trick.
If the main approach to easing disparity is taxing the rich more, the rich will eventually influence the government agencies assigned to extract these taxes. So, regulatory capture.
A less risky approach would include wealth generation in the poorer classes. Not making them 'employable' - making them 'job creators' - even if it's simply self-employment.
That is what agrarian reformers of yore did with land redistribution, farm loans, cooperative setups, scientific assistance, etc. That is why app-development looks so attractive (even though there are sharp limits to wealth generation possible there).
Before population studies on smoking, we had 'samples of one'. Many, many samples. For many centuries.
Then came the studies -- a bit like we have here and now. Then rebuttals. Cries for more research. And so forth. All the while, exposure grew, until the sheer mass of statistics made the problem undeniable.
Now, of course we 'know' smoking causes some cancer. Did it cause Joe Sixpack's individual case of lung cancer? Joe may say so. No one can prove it with absolute certainty. It's an educated guess. But it's probable.
And so it is with this guy's friend. Like Joe, the farmer is probably right that his cancer was triggered by farm chemicals. The research is there. It may not yet have the same amount of community acceptance Joe's assertions do. Just give it time.
I was on vacation once, and there was this crow-like bird outside my vacation cabin. I'd thrown him bits of banana, and he'd gobbled them down.
At some point, he must have gotten full, but he knows there's more banana available. All of a sudden, he regurgitates other food he'd eaten earlier (you could tell it was a different color), and carries on with the banana pieces.
Great research. I wonder if this can be used to treat GIST cancers (gastrointestinal stromal tumors), in combination with other therapy (imatinib, surgery). GIST cancers are normally nodule surrounded by some sort of capsule around the tumour.
Like SeeGrid, does your solution use stereo cameras?
I've heard bad things about autonomous vehicles basing their navigation on cameras + software processing (a la Tesla): https://news.ycombinator.com/i...
That is, as compared to Uber, Google and practically everyone else (who use LIDAR and other more 'reliable' sensors).
Microsoft wants to get you in the habit of asking. Online. Preferably logged in. Definitely viewing ads. Grateful for free stuff. Willing to spend a quid or two for new 'cutting edge' features. Looking around, considering 'buying' some more in its virtual mall.
I've heard it said that 1.5 Billion people use Windows. Even if 0.1% of these spend 30 seconds per year downloading paint (versus using a copy on disk), that's 6 man years lost. Maybe someone would waste their 30 seconds. Maybe others would spend it on a medical problem and save lives.
I don't get it - an OS is supposed to be at the beck and call of its owner. Microsoft should be making agents to obey our every intent. Even anticipate our needs and pre-empt the resources to fulfill them with no delay. This behavior forces me to conclude the OS is at Microsoft's beck and call now; that we're merely micro-serfs.

He didn't really do it to hurt Google... He did it benefit himself. Whether his evaluation is accurate is another matter.

Nnone of the tanker refueling aircraft are uncrewed autonomous vehicles (UAV).
...and when airborne tankers do become UAVs, the US Gov will owe Amazon bigtime.

Ah, swell - thank you.
If I understand correct, the lidar is mounted on the vehicle, not at a fixed spot - right? How do 360 degree reflectors interact with it?
