As they were involved in developing the U2F standard, it shouldn't depend on any Google servers. It's more about how long Chrome will support U2F, but that would effect not only Google security keys.
I would posit, that one change they could make that would be VERY helpful for viewers, and I'd guess the folks in the stadiums too, would be to do something to MAKE the displayed time clock on tv and the stadium BE the official time. Maybe hook the officials watch to the time displayed, etc?
Yes, but that has a reason, too. It would be require some rather expensive technical equipment (read: scoreboard) for an official match. Part of the popularity comes from the fact that you don't need much more than a mostly even meadow, 22 players, a ball and a guy with a whistle and wristwatch to run an official match. (even requirements for playing field size and ball still allow for a wide range)
Yes. And that's how it's supposed to be. With the referee as sole arbiter of all aspects of the game, including time or adding extra time so that the game ends up what he thinks is 90 minutes net play time.
While this is not perfect and probably main reason for the "drama" - it is accepted. Including false calls from the referee when he hasn't been able to properly see a situation. And discussion of what he saw, what he COULD HAVE SEEN and how he interpreted it is part of football culture. it's a reminder that everyone is human. (yes.. thespian sport.... mean, but nice way to put that)
And it's a clear line: If the referee hasn't seen it it didn't happen and if he saw it differently - suck it up. Life lesson learned.
Video referee is completely diametral to that. Games are no longer controlled by the referee, but by some faceless figures in Cologne (Bundesliga) or Moscow (World Cup) not even close to the field! game results can be changed even after the ref has ended the game. Trying to bring in some objectiveness, ok, it's well meant, but if you really want that, the rules should be made clearer and less subject to personal interpretation. ("unnatural movement of the upper body" if you need to make a call on hand play) Especially if around 30% of the VaR calls were wrong, too, if put to the same amount of scrutiny that they are supposed to put the actual referee under.
First time I saw this, was a few years back when the US was in it, and I think they were leading in a game...and with all the time add ons...they ended up losing in the end.
Ask Bayern München about that Champions league final vs. Manchester...
Shouldn't time mean TIME..and when it runs out, it is over?
IN case of ties....why not a sudden death thing in soccer like with US Football?
Why?
In elimination rounds there IS a tie breaker and in league matches, where results are tallied over a season, why would you need one?
If two teams are equally good, a tie is the correct result.
Well, ChromeOS is the ultimate "browser OS". If you want to use most of your services in the browser, ChromeOS is perfectly suitable. And let us be honest, for a lot of services from Facebook to Reddit, the browser UI is better than the Android app.
If you have a stable internet connection. Even the "Chrome-Apps" that could use local caching and stuff uusually aren't anything more than bookmarks with better icons.
There is a better solution by using a PUBLIC standard for Android without the google's monopolistic control over it and with REAL competition driving REAL innovation at every level and in every part of the Android platform, not just the low-margin commodity hardware. The only problem is that it would reduce the google's profit.
And I even came up with a name for it! What about AOSP?
Android core without any Google tie-ins, free to use for manufacturers.
I think it is neither one. Google moved all the good stuff into the Google play services and out of plain jane open source Android.
And that's at least partly the phone manufacturers own fault. They moved it into Play services. But that just proofs that it was part of the plain Android first. But with the phone manufacturers not doing any updates for even the most gaping security holes, moving the stuff to Google managed play services was the was to make sure that phone owners would get security updates. From Google if not the manufacturers.
Plus the arm twisting agreements where an OEM cannot make a Google Services Android phone and also make an open source or alternate firmware Android phone. Geee, that reminds me of Microsoft not allowing OEMs to sell their PCs with any other OS on them in the 1980's even if there was market demand at that time.
Yes... that's highly disturbing from a monopoly abuse point of view. But the easiest to fix.
Keep in mind that he can only speak for the apps in the Google Apps Bundle and not for crapware added by the manufacturer on top of that and marked as "essential system app".
Meanwhile I don't think Europeans are going to care if they have to pay $10 bucks for Android, and I don't think Google will be able to charge much more than that.
That won't be charged to the customer but to the phone manufacturer. And even though if users wouldn't mind to pay 10 bucks for a decent phone OS, manufacturers don't want to lose that from their margin. They will rather use some free crap OS instead and keep the price point.
I never said that there aren't good reasons to put them there or to NOT put them there.
All I asked for is not to promote a solution and then search for problems it may solve. So in the same line as yourself:
And since the school is responsible for keep track of students (attendance sheets, hall passes, fences are all about limiting people's whereabouts and egress.)
... and is there currently a problem with that? (or at least: Does it work, is it efficient?)
It makes total sense for them to have both cameras and face recognition.
No. it may make sense to have cameras and face recognition. If, and only if, it solves a problem with the existing solution or is an improvement. (Please specify on the line below)
So don't omit the actual reasoning why they "make total sense" In your post, you gave a requirement (track attendance) and a viable solution (face recognition cameras) But that doesn't conclude that it would make sense. It wouldn't make any sense if your solution would replace a better solution.
Yes.. it could be used for recognizing fired employees and suspected gang members. But why on earth are we discussing face recognition cameras FIRST and only THEN what they could be used for?
"Hey! Let's install a few face recognition cameras at $SOMEWHERE." "Cool. Should those belong there? What could we do with them?" "Uhmm... let's think of something. Something with Sex offenders?"
Solution in search of a problem.
Does your school HAVE AN ACTUAL PROBLEM with suspended students or fired employee entering school grounds? If yes, could it be solved better and cheaper with a retired cop sitting at a front desk/gate? THEN we could discuss about pros and cons.
In a related aspect..... why would ICE need face recognition? Wouldn't it be easier to check if known illegal immigrants (They have to be known if their face would be searched for by camera) have enrolled? I don't think it's possible to visit schools in the US anonymously, is it?
Majority of Americans stopped reading after "essential remain world leader" and jumped up and down chanting '"Murica! 'Murica!"
You probably could have asked if it is essential to remain the world leader in obesity, people in jail or environmental pollution and people would have argued that it can't be bad to be the leader in anything - as long as you are leading.
The second question is: Doesn't facebook know that and use the age group estimation derived from your browsing behavior rather than what you have entered?
They have more money to spend. That's not 'skewing', its just a fact. It doesn't surprise me at all that millennials prefer video games to real activities.
No. We're not talking about playing videogames. We're talking about WATCHING OTHERS play video games. Because that's sooo hard work.

lunar eclipses aren't that spectacular. Like going through a full cycle of moon phases in one night. But still, you should have watched one.
As they were involved in developing the U2F standard, it shouldn't depend on any Google servers. It's more about how long Chrome will support U2F, but that would effect not only Google security keys.
I agree with that.
I guess they don't do it out of respect for the American Football players feelings....
Interesting....

It just seemed arbitrary.
Yes. And that's how it's supposed to be. With the referee as sole arbiter of all aspects of the game, including time or adding extra time so that the game ends up what he thinks is 90 minutes net play time.

A cashless society will not be managed by government but by corporations.
That's most likely even worse.
At least in an ideal world, a government would be responsible and work for the benefit of its citizens.
Eben in an ideal, but of course even more so in the real world, corporations only work for their own benefit.

Also with me. But that would point at the phone manufacturer.

Yes. But to paraphrase Ford, you'll end up with a better horse, not with a car.
We never should have left the oceans.
And has anyone noticed that it's not the little printed pieces of paper who feel unhappy?
How do I change my character's class mid-game?
You stand in front of a mirror and declare that your new class is now either:
Douchebag,
Shithead or
Jerkoff
Those are your current choices, given your stats.
Yes. "Influencer" and "youtuber" are only available as prestige classes.
We are not descended from apes, we are apes.
Nah. Mostly idiots.

But in a job environment someone would only hire and pay you to carry a bag of salt back and forth if it had any use for him.
Stupid grinding, but the graphics are incredible!
Majority of Americans stopped reading after "essential remain world leader" and jumped up and down chanting '"Murica! 'Murica!"
You probably could have asked if it is essential to remain the world leader in obesity, people in jail or environmental pollution and people would have argued that it can't be bad to be the leader in anything - as long as you are leading.
Since when has something to be bought, played or watched for people being up in arms about its mere existence?
The second question is: Doesn't facebook know that and use the age group estimation derived from your browsing behavior rather than what you have entered?
That's why when I'm looking for a job, I'm actually LOOKING for a job and not surfing facebook and wait for job ads to pop up.
They have more money to spend. That's not 'skewing', its just a fact. It doesn't surprise me at all that millennials prefer video games to real activities.
