Yeah I think this is far from an abuse of the legal system. Someone has a complaint, they go to a judge and that judge allows them to subpoena relevant info to the case.
As to copyright enforcement. I still think th only reason the holders lost public support is the absurd punishment. If people had been slapped with $40 fines like a parking ticket I think the legal and public opinion landscape would be radically different.
âoeYou downloaded a Metallica album. That will be $52.â âoeDamn you got me. Here you go.â
Instead when a single mother is on the hook for $10,000 to an industry based on spurious evidence... the moral reaction is to fight back.
$10k+ fines are definitely warranted for developers profiting like Popcorn Time but there needs to be a proportional response for run of the mill infringement akin to taking your chances by not paying the meter while running in to a store.
Yeah there is a very very obvious change in the appearance of the font. The better approach is to just adjust your kerning by 5%. The characters are precisely identical and it's still longer.
People who can't measure up should not have their contributions included in a project. But there's no reason to berate people who make good-faith contributions. Just kindly tell them it's not good enough, explain why, and suggest ways to improve. Is that so hard?
I think you meant to say:
You fucking dimwitted moron. Your brain must be powered by hamster wheels if you think berating people for idiotic clown ideas will in any way actually improve the quality of contributions. You would have to be the offspring of two below-average orangutans if your maggot brain thinks that insults are better than a straight forward statement that their contributions are below quality standards. Any inbred nitwit can insult someone, it takes a real intellect to provide clear feedback on why a contribution is a bad.
Never encountered an overt cheater. Then again, I almost never encounter cheaters in any game these days. I think everybody's anti cheat tech is pretty solid.
Wasn't in-house Tesla. Looks like they used an off-the-shelf solution which is vulnerable in several manufacturer's vehicles. But "Tesla" pushes clicks more than "Mercedes keyless entry..."
Waymo autonomous vehicles is a Google\Alphabet company. High resolution maps are somewhere between helpful and essential to self driving car efforts. None of the other self driving companies want to become reliant on Google their competitors to keep that map data affordable.
Tesla for instance is already starting to rely on OpenStreetMap data. As soon as the other autonomous vehicles start driving around they'll be crowd sourcing way more street level data every day than Google can manage today. Google will also have waymo vehicles doing the same thing but the playing field will be far more level.
Self Driving cars will be updating the map in real time. From a consumer's perspective the map data will be either 1 hour or 1 minute old. That's different from today where data is 1 year or a decade old.
As soon as they get lighter and have higher resolution
Most importantly they have to be more than an additive display. The problem with Hololens and now Magic Leap ("HoloLens v1.1" according to lucky) is that they don't black out any pixels. So it's like a projector in that if your room isn't black you don't get any black in your image. That's a big problem for a lot of work that is white with black text. It's going to be hard to have high resolution with low contrast.
MagicLeap implied with their demos that they were somehow blacking out light paths... but in reality they were just another additive display.
I think VR will get there first. It starts from black, so they "just" need to capture the lightfield behind the display and warp it a bit to make it match perfectly to your eyeball's vantage.
Magic Leap had to ship a product to prove they were viable, but instead I think they've proven that they have nothing to offer. Lucky is right, it's a tragedy. And it's a shame they sucked up billions in VC money that could have gone to solving real problems with AR instead of being a Me-Too slight iteration at spectacularly wasteful spending levels. Oculus had an obvious path forward: better optics, better screens. Magic Leap doesn't have that. They haven't demonstrated a solution to any of the fundamental issues previously encountered.
I bought Google Mini to test and immediately ordered replacements for Echo. It is just so much better at usability and responses that it's kind of embarrassing for the Echo. I only use echo now for adding things to my Prime shopping list.
Why has only one been using that shoulder to climb even higher? Why have the others been content to just wander around on the shoulders for the past couple decades?
2 things.
1) Some of these competitors still don't believe that there is sufficient demand to make it cost effective. Let's say there are 100 customers in the world and you need 80 customers to break even with reusable technology. By competing you both lose money until one or the other fails. So whichever is 1% more money all else being equal will win. SpaceX has the experience and time on their side. 2) Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin is presumably doing precisely that.
But saying "Falcon 9 only cost $300m" isn't correct. Falcon 9 re-usability alone cost around $1B. Again, Jeff Bezos plans to spend $1B a year so they'll probably get there pretty soon but it's not a small investment. Especially when #1 will scare away most investors who want to see a return on their money. "Why should we compete against SpaceX when they need high volume of launches to pay back R&D."
Ariane space has a unique problem that is a fair assessment in regard to labor. They are ostensibly working on "Rockets" but in reality they're maintaining their solid-rocket motor know-how and ICBM capability. Reusable ICBMs ready to launch at a moment's notice aren't really feasible at this point. So Europe can either just have a bunch of rocket engineers sitting around in between ICBM refreshes or else they can give them something do designing "expensive" rockets.
I can play Overwatch at a Platinum level on my Xbox One over streaming. The latency is surprisingly palatable at 9-10ms. And latency is dropping and dropping. Cable used to be around 60ms a couple years ago, now it's 6-10ms.
Many TVs have 10+ms of latency just in the video processor but that's getting better every year too. There's also Warp rendering where the GPU synthesizes a frame from a previous frame. It's being used for lowering latency of VR but it's something that could easily be baked into a low cost DSP chip on a thin Xbox Cloud device. The cloud renders a frame. If everything continues as expected and the latency is unnoticeable then it'll just wait. If the input changes or game state changes the local machine can synthesize a new frame from the last frame. \
XCloud won't be out for at least 2 years. We'll be living in a whole new world by then.
And clients actually pay. Itâ(TM)s nice to have a credit card on file and when the job is done just run it for the approved invoice amount. No âoeI think someone cut a check on Friday, do you not have it yet?â for 60 days. Job done... bing charged... 12 hours later in the bank.
Remember, a government powerful enough to give you everything you want, if also powerful enough to take everything you have.
Really thatâ(TM)s the driving philosophy of small government conservatives and libertarians. âoeIf the government is powerful enough to provide universal healthcare they are powerful enough to take everything.â
Iâ(TM)ve got bad news for you. A government can be powerful enough to have a secret police and a military strong enough to quash any pesky rebellion without giving you anything you want. The bar for âoepowerful enough to take everythingâ is an petty thief with a knife and motivation.
If you still view IT as the help desk you're probably going to be outsourced. If though you work on being part of the product team helping deliver customer facing infrastructure that delivers measurable revenue to the company your job is far more secure.
If you can't play nice with the "evil marketing" and "useless C-Suite managers" then it's no wonder they replaced you with a remote IT service that doesn't give them attitude.
That is for 80 hours a month. Our normal work jobs in the us have us ordinary folks working 160 hours a month. The hourly rate is well into the normal 6 figure if working full time.
As mandated by the FAA you can't fly on average more than 40 hours a month. So it's not like you can take on an extra shift. And those are just flight hours, getting a plane into the air isn't exactly like turning on a laptop and logging in, that shit takes time.
My wife always complains when she wants to use my smartphone that the dialing app isn't easy to find. I use it so infrequently that it's on like the third page.
I think that's pretty typical. How often do people even use the "phone" app on the typical phone? Probably a tiny fraction of the time they use their phone like a small tablet.
I would love a pocketable device that recognizes and embraces this fact and focuses on the phablet experience.
how much more difficult does that make them to repair?
Probably not much since the rapid revisions generally occured in the first 2k-3k vehicles out of 450k. What they've done so far is just replace components with Rev D. All of the August-December cars have already had parts of their suspension replaced with the latest version. Apparently quite a few are getting some A pillar molding replaced as well.

True, but if you just have to smoke in public and
No need to continue. If you smoke in public, you're being an asshole. The end.
Yeah the trend definitely moved with Trump taking office. /Sarcasm

Correct, Fuchsia is a kernel.
Not quite.
Technically Zircon is Fuchsia's kernel.
