The iPhone8+ box is too tight. So the power button is getting partially pressed and when you move the box around, it can accidentally get pressed few times in quick succession triggering emergency call. It happened with Apple employee when I bought my phone and happened with me once at home as well.
Giant piece of calibrated carbon will work as well. If it is big enough, its isotopes can be measured using a simple handheld machine and it will have no moving parts or environmental effect. Ok, it won't have display that human eye can see it but then its remote location will prevent that as well.
We are trying desperately to copy Apple for 3+ years and now we have mastered it. Now you can pay with Google Pay with as much ease as Apple Pay. You also get the benefit that we will associate your payment with your gmail, hangout chat messages, location, search, android phone unique id and others. Eventually, we will be able to create your clone who knows more about you than you and will pass the remote identity test better than you can. Good luck if ever our data is compromised either by internal employees or external hack.
Thankfully there is PC/Mac that you can use with FF in private mode (Safari is even better as every new tab is a private session all by itself) and go to random site and pay using PayPal associated with your credit card and use outlook mail and keep your identity private.
During 1992 election time, Jay Leno made joke on Dan Quayle. "How do you improve mileage of US cars?". Dan Quayle's solution was to increase the size of the gallon. Once again they are going to improve broadband coverage in USA by redefining the broadband.
We threw away Dec Alpha, MIPS, Itanium and have almost abandoned Power and Sparc. If everyone on earth shares single gene, then it takes only one virus to wipe out large population.
In 90s, I used to stay in Pasadena. During 1994 World Cup, Pasadena businesses started free bus service which will take people from across the town to downtown and Rosebowl for free. It had good coverage and frequency. Not sure if it is still there and if not when did they shutdown but it was there at least for 3 - 4 years that I know of.
Yet another classic case of correlation is not causation. May be they took data on per capita income or per household income, or average education or average or average per sq feet sale in nearby stores or a combination of above and others. I think even Bloomingdale, Nordstrom etc may show the same majority white correlation.
All that Indiana needs to check is how many people within the state have their dmv id having same birthdate and same name. Since US population is about 50 times larger, there will be 50 times more people across all states with the same name. So they can identify how many valid people they are removing. By comparing with total they are removing, they can find the accuracy of their system.
A while ago, people had issues with "Google" Nexus 5 after the Android OTA upgrade. Despite the fact that Google called this as Google Nexus 5 and was sold from Google website, it refused to take the blame and told customers to contact LG as it was LG which made the phone and it was responsible for any issue with the phone. Pixel 2 is made by HTC. Who will be responsible for servicing and support? I upgraded by Nexus 5 to iPhone. 11 months later, I had issue with headphone jack (it was detecting as headphone connected even when it was not). I took it to Apple store and told them that I am traveling and need urgent fix. They gave a brand new phone. Can we expect Google to do the same? If not, you are just buying an HTC phone advertised by Google.
Sorry, Apple does not make them, so we don't know how to copy them. BTW, we are selling phones without 3.5 mm jack and also selling wireless earbuds for $159, just like Apple. Thanks for your interest in Android.
In digital world, your security and privacy can be compromised by others even if you do all due diligence. Many of my friends and relatives have my birthdate, phone, address, email, anniversary etc in their contacts. They readily give permission to read contacts to every imaginable app. How do I keep this info private? I can't.
Navy can go to pencil and drawing board, but how will it prevent other ships getting fooled by GPS spoofing? The only benefit I see here is that they will be able to file a civil suit against the other ship.
IANAL but I think WP is right. I don't know WP that much, so I will give example Apache. Assume Apache embeds FB code in their product and IBM uses that to create non open-source software and sell to Amazon. Amazon then sues FB for some e-commerce patent and now Amazon loses license to use IBM software if ReactJS has any FB patent. But Amazon already paid to IBM, so IBM will have to now defend it. Surely, IBM does not want to do it and being a member of Apache, it will tell Apache not to consume ReactJS. Replace Apache with any open source software and IBM with any non open-source software company and Amazon with a customer of this non open-source software company. FB needs to come clean if it wants to truly contribute to open source.
IBM chose the name "Eclipse" to fight against "Sun" and that was the primary reason for Sun to not join Eclipse. It was derogatory to them. Now it is Eclipse which forever going to hide Sun. With OpenOffice, Sparc and Solaris going away, Java was the only remnant of Sun under Oracle (which acquired Sun) and now that too is gone. Effectively, Oracle is now Sun free and will have Eclipse instead (it is not getting rid of J2EE from its products).
"it now takes 18 times as many scientists as it did in the 1970s. That means each researcher's output today is 18 times less effective in terms of generating economic value than it was several decades ago"
In 1970s, they used to make only few hundreds to few thousands of each high end chip. Today, Apple A11 or Qualcomm 835 or Intel x64 will get produced in hundreds of millions in quantities.
It is quite possible that we might create a super intelligent system of network on which our essential system depends but in the end gets so complex that it depends on few key individuals ability to fix it. What happens if these key individuals die or become rogue? If you can't fix an AI system and can't shut it down, then it essentially means that the system has taken over.
RF power is no way close to powering your cell phone even 30 min a day of basic operation of talk time. Solar phone covers are already existing and works pretty well.
Before you get excited about this announcement, note that IBM and Sony has a history of announcing tape drive vaporware. Here is from wiki:
"In 2011, Fujifilm and IBM announced that they had been able to record 29.5 billion bits per square inch with magnetic tape media developed using the BaFe particles and nanotechnologies, allowing drives with true (uncompressed) tape capacity of 35 TB.[18][19] The technology was not expected to be commercially available for at least a decade.
In 2014, Sony and IBM announced that they had been able to record 148 gigabits per square inch with magnetic tape media developed using a new vacuum thin-film forming technology able to form extremely fine crystal particles, allowing true tape capacity of 185 TB.[20][21]"
Even their 2011 announcement has not been brought to market yet.
Those of us in 40s and more would remember AOL even if they didn't use. The only time I had to use AOL was when my wife joined UC Berkeley extension online UNIX course and the professor made it mandatory to use AOL for assignments. Many people didn't use any other app to access internet other than AOL app. You could subscribe to books, magazines, courses, etc on AOL. Companies bought keywords on AOL (like company pages on Facebook).
More I read about Facebook, more similarity I find with AOL. AOL's popularity was tied to the fact that it was dial up internet provider and internet wasn't well standardized (Netscape came much later). FB's popularity is tied to it being free and social interaction by its users. Not sure what will come in future that will kill FB.
Most mergers and acquisitions have clause where high ranking officers cannot deliberately defame company or its products and services and if they do so, they may lose golden parachute. This statement is definitely materially damaging to Yahoo's reputation (whatever little is left) and I expect a lawsuit by Verizon followed by private settlement. I would be surprised if there is no lawsuit.

The real reason why he wants to move out of Silicon Valley is that he can't afford housing in this area. All others are just excuses.
So your self driving car detects 4 gorillas on one side and one man on the other and it must hit one of the two groups, which one will it select?

I talked to FB and AOL user about this idea. This is how they reacted:
FB User: I like it.
AOL user: Me too
I am getting Google privacy at Apple price point.
Hey, I am just copying Apple. Blame them for high price.
Sorry, Apple does not make them, so we don't know how to copy them. BTW, we are selling phones without 3.5 mm jack and also selling wireless earbuds for $159, just like Apple. Thanks for your interest in Android.

I said precisely that. Read it again! "Amazon loses license to use IBM software if ReactJS has any FB patent"
