"'cause, like, when the Playstation 1 came out, me was tellin' me Julie; what would be wicked would be if they brought out something that was better than this! And then 2 years later what come out? Playstation 2! 'ow does you think they got the idea from me?"
I apologize for my arrogant and asinine post. You are correct.

Fuck man, have some confidence. You're exactly right -- most jobs are completely meaningless.
Bloat, redundancy, old-boys clubs -- all of this is pervasive in the work-force in general.
Let's also remind ourselves what we mean by "work-force" -- the thing we built in order to make the Industrial Revolution happen. Such a means of approaching life had never been done before, is long past its use-by date, and today it's biggest export is mentally ill people.
Our entire education system is built around the life-sapping notion that subjects that serve "industry" must be exulted above the arts. This is nonsense. Life is objectively meaningless, so all subjects are just as "important" as others. In other words, they have exactly the meaning we give them, and if you, gweihir, think that something is meaningless, you're damn well right.
Meditation is not something I do, but I can certainly see how it can lead people to realise that their jobs are shit, because they really are.
Sorry chap, but I think you've got it wrong on that one.
Really need 3D vision
Yes, this is exactly what all these systems are doing. Taking data from various sources to build an accurate 3D abstraction of the world, so that the job of programming how to drive around can be dealt with in a predictable manner.
We've all played racing games, so we know how good computers can be at driving when they know the circuit down to the smallest detail. We just need to get the real world represented in the same kind of way. If that means lidar, radar, cameras, and everything else in between to build up that map, with those involved collaborating and sharing knowledge, then all the better.
What is it with 3rd-person pronouns in clickbait headlines these days?
- "She totally did a thing, now you totally want to click, right?" - "What he did next will make you click!" - "Five cocktails and seven martinis get her through brunch!"
At the risk of sounding ancient; who's "she", the cat's mother?
I mean, good manners don't cost nuffin' now, do they?
Remember, apple isn't a technology company, they're a luxury brand marketing company.
How does tripe like this get modded "Insightful"?
Apple make good things. Apple are good at marketing those things. One does not preclude the other, you know. It's entirely possible to make good things and be able to have a team of people devise a really good marketing strategy for them too.
You can even have those people in the same building at the same time, if you like. It's amazing, but you can have different "departments" within the same campus, with teams of people taking care of different parts of the business.
But I guess this doesn't satisfy our outlet for tribalism when it comes to technology. Or sports teams. Or car brands. Or your favourite fucking brand of socks.

Samsung Galaxy devices get personally affronted when iPhone users give them good reviews?
Just play Don't Starve.
Teaches resourcefulness, inventory management, foward-planning, and that instant death is just around the corner.
It's just like real life!
/. missed a trick in quoting the FA thus:

Battery weight is the problem when it comes to aviation.
Simple. Keep the batteries on the ground and run a cable up to the plane.

Do any other cloud-storage services publish stats like this?
Thank you, Backblaze.
So they added some memory to an existing SoC?

Travolta and Cage would beg to differ.
Users should be asked if they want to share their data with an App.
Like every other permission Apple has implemented.
Radar bad, it's called ionising radiation.

It's mentioned on the 2nd page of search-results and it, erm... points directly back to this article.
Anyway, I guess we all finally learned what "CMD" means after all these years.

Doesn't matter how fast the face scanner is if I turn it off or cover up the camera. This is a monumentally stupid idea, just like Windows Hello.
Yes, turning off the camera or covering it up for your face-recognising phone is as monumentally stupid as Windows Hello.
Oh, so Nestle is "aware" of the lawsuit, eh?
Was it aware it had a legal department at all?
Does anyone in either Atari or Nestle, outside of their own legal departments, give two shits about this sugar-biscuit homage in advertising form?

That should be enough for anybody.
"Apple makes things equivalent in quality to the rest of the marketplace."
Either you've never seen or used an Apple product, or you've never seen or used anything other than Apple products to make the comparison.
