    And the wonder why people that might consider using them go elsewhere.

  2. Dead without Jobs on Apple Considering Expansion Into Wearable Glasses, Says Report (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Between the iPhone 7 and the latest Laptops it's clear that Apple doesn't have the 'vision' behind it that it did.

    I'm sure Ives and Cook will give free reign to some other rising star that will make what they like. But without Jobs doing what Jobs did it'll probably end off in the weeds.

    What made the iPod successful was how Jobs said it should work.

  3. He is the true populist, unlike the shill candidate Bernie.

    So close and then you decide to go off the rails.

    If you don't want me to speak ill of your candidate don't speak ill of mine.

    There are also all of ~8k KKK members in the US. They make up 0.0025% of the US population. Perhaps find a different boogie man.

    Sounds like a perfect scenario to use a white list.

    I white list hanging out with my friends. No one sits down and goes "Hey, guys, want to hang out at the KKK rally tonight?". No. Because assholes and bullies hang out there so we go somewhere else.

    People are having a hard time accepting that facebook is full of assholes and bullies. Find stories on either side of the aisle and read the comments. It's a cesspool.

    You know how a bully can make new accounts? So can you.

    Hell you can make your own platform now with a VPS.

    The local unions need to sit down with some local devs and figure out their own solution or become irrelevant.

    "Alexa, schedule a plumber for tuesday" is infinitely easier than wading through the phone book (as most of these trades don't even have websites), calling up a guy and scheduling it around their schedule (not mine).

    exit polls support this.

    They polls have gotten Michigan and Wisconsin wrong since the primaries.

    "I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters"

    The same thing clinton was thinking but never said outloud?. I dealt with the hate her side spewed during the primary so pardon me if I don't listen to you the next time you call Wolf.

    They are largely uneducated rural people who expect to be paid

    When was the last time you actually got out of what ever bubble you live in and visited the country?

    Do you honestly think that exactly half of the country is as you describe them while the other half is exactly the opposite? Clinton had nothing but the PhDs voting for her?

    The states that she was expecting and lost are states that you like to refer to as 'flyover country'. Out here Trump was a "Fuck You" to both parties. The more the republicans and democrats hated him the the more votes he got. These people watched as their jobs left after NAFTA was signed. They watched donors that donated to the standard Republicans close companies and move the jobs elsewhere (Looking at you Koch).

    Those 'uneducated rural folk' are likely that way because they don't even have Internet. Both political parties and companies have pretty much ignored everyone out of the cities for decades. I don't live anywhere near Appalachia and still 54% of households earning less than median income don't have Internet. Comcast and Frontier wrote off expanding Internet to this area a long time ago. Coal is all parts of that country have and you're not offering to replace it with anything else, so yeah, it rubs a raw nerve.

    What you fail to realize is those Trump supporters are the ones that will be building your solar grid. They're the ones that will be fixing your Tesla when it goes to the shop. Could you imagine an 18 year old Clinton supporter actually getting their hands dirty on a solar farm or turning a wrench?

    So, so sorry that someone crass made it to President, he wasn't my first choice either, but go fuck yourself in your Ivory Tower. You could have just said "let them eat cake".

  16. Technical presentation on FlexRay: https://www.ece.cmu.edu/~ece64...

  17. I mean ISO 17458-1 to 5.

    FlexRay supports high data rates, up to 10 Mbit/s, explicitly supports both star and "party line" bus topologies, and can have two independent data channels for fault-tolerance (communication can continue with reduced bandwidth if one channel is inoperative). The bus operates on a time cycle, divided into two parts: the static segment and the dynamic segment. The static segment is preallocated into slices for individual communication types, providing a stronger real-time guarantee than its predecessor CAN. The dynamic segment operates more like CAN, with nodes taking control of the bus as available, allowing event-triggered behavior.
