At least I'm pretty sure they do everything you want. They're called "dash cams". If they can survive the interior of a hot car, they can survive this.
Not that I'm against cash, but how can people be unable to get a bank account? I can get free checking and a debit card at my credit union for, at most, a $25 refundable savings deposit.
So if they email you a malicious PNG then they can read all your emails? That's not good. Plus who knows how many privilege escalation zero days may be out there?
Does this apply to all Android apps or just Google Chrome based ones?
Whatever happened to that plan for a private company to send two people on a flyby of Mars? It probably couldn't happen by the end of 2020, though.
I think the best Nasa might be able to do by 2020 would be to send a small mammal, like a mouse, on a flyby of Mars. I'd say its chances of survival would be 50/50 at best, but it would give us a good idea of the danger involved. Landing it on Mars might also be possible, but launching it back to Earth after that probably wouldn't be. Which would turn it into the next Laika.
In Manifest V3, this API will be discouraged (and likely limited) in its blocking form. The non-blocking implementation of the webRequest API, which allows extensions to observe network requests, but not modify, redirect, or block them (and thus doesn't prevent Chrome from continuing to process the request) will not be discouraged. As an alternative, we plan to provide a declarativeNetRequest API (see below). The details of what limitations we may put in the webRequest API are to be determined.
I think you're right. First, looking at the new specs for declarativeNetRequest, I see no indication that the webRequest api is going away. Each API has pros and cons, from what I can see.
I do see changes happening to webRequest. It now requires host permissions. That means the end user can limit where an extension is used - or not limit it. Starting in Chrome 72 it will also be harder to modify referrers or cookies. But nothing webRequest does now is being entirely forbidden (unless the end-user requests it.)
I currently use both VLC and MX. It used to be that MX was the best way to play MPEG2 on Android. Then they removed support for that. I swear, licensing is the root of all evil.
Anyway, VLC mostly supports MPEG2 now, but it still can't play 1080i MPEG2 on my Kindle Fire. However, as MX keeps getting worse - they've added noisy video ads recently - and VLC keeps getting better, I'll probably drop MX soon.
Self driving cars don't need to be better or even as good as all drivers. They just need to be better than 50% of drivers.
This is absolutely wrong. It might be right if the car is just driving goods around, like delivering your groceries to you. But if the car is driving a person around it needs to be a lot better.
If I drive myself around, I put the responsibility to drive well on myself, and I accept the consequences if I don't. A self-driving car driving me around takes the responsibility to drive well from me, so it needs to avoid the consequences as well as possible. It needs to drive like a well-trained and experienced chauffeur. Because, basically, that's what it is - it's trained by many test drivers in parallel, and it gains experience from all the cars being driven by the same system at the same time too.
Plus, theoretically, the car's reaction time should be much faster than a human's. (Or is that the problem - the car should do more processing and have a human-level reaction time?)
It seems like they should be able to get some cheap smartphones and lock them down enough that they can only run a single calculator app. That should cost less than $100 per device, but doesn't include labor costs.
ATSC is being upgraded "real soon now" to version 3.0. On one hand ATSC 3.0 will have up to 4K resolution compressed with HEVC. On the other hand, it's may also have stuff like an effective "broadcast flag", so you may not be able to record your favorite shows, encryption, so you may get OTA pay-per-view or something, and upstream transmission which may be used for Facebook-like spying for advertisers or something.
On the other other hand, there's supposed to be a "lighthouse" station for awhile with the major ATSC 1.0 channels, but they'll be compressed to heck, like Joe_Dragon says below.
Actually, that's not a bad idea. For example, when a C compiler reports a missing;, it could make a guess about where the ; should be and suggest that to the programmer. I wonder if AI could be used to optimize suggestions like this?
I always wondered in Mars terraforming plans: There seemed to be enough carbon dioxide on Mars. There seemed to be enough water. There still might be enough oxygen if you refine the iron out of all the dust. But what about nitrogen? It's 70% of our atmosphere, but I don't know of any other source of it in the solar system. I guess if you were desperate you could scrape some helium out of Jupiter and send it to Mars, to prevent a near-pure-oxygen atmosphere catching things on fire. But that still wouldn't help plants grow.
"transportable" is a relative term. I once flew for business with a Shuttle desktop and monitor. That was no fun to transport.
Granted, things are better now than in the bad old days 10+ years ago. A fast desktop processor can fit in a mini-STX case now. A processor with graphics card can fit in a short mini-ITX case. Keyboards can be smaller now too, though not good ones. But flat monitors are still as luggable as ever. I suppose a projector might be an alternative, but I haven't seen a good one.

Really? I'm not seeing a benefit to the monarchy.

The faster way might have been Binet's Formula.
I use a browser called Adblock Browser on Android, which is based on Firefox. I'm using it to post this right now.

Never mind, I found it. It's not in API documentation, but in a Google docs proposal for Manifest V3:

I'd agree with you, except that there's a popular song claiming that WAR is good for "absolutely nothing".
Usually ads served by the same site I'm visiting are the least annoying. Unless they're paywall notifications.
If my ad blocker doesn't block my favorite site properly I'll use Stylus instead.

Why would anyone choose zinc bromide over zinc air? Bromine is toxic, like chlorine. Air isn't (supposed to be) toxic.
Of some certain density, or at least have sufficient gravity to do so. If that means kicking Mercury out of the club along with Pluto, so be it!
So, tech support providers have become like mechanics. They fix stuff that isn't broken, and break stuff to fix it later.
4k and 8k refer to roughly how many pixels wide the screen is. Though since it's multiples of 1920 they came up a bit short.

It took me awhile to "figure" out what figural memory is. I finally found a reference referring to "figural memory (the ability to recall shapes)".
Given that, I think the emoji generation is training their figural memory just fine.
