  1. Is the new "with a computer" of the 90s. Soon to be "with neural network".

  2. Re:Blood on their hands. on Fully Driverless Waymo Taxis Are Due Out This Year, Alarming Critics (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Google also thought they could make a successful social network. We know from studies that people tend to believe the outcome that will benefit them.

  3. There is a distinct difference between "not at fault" and avoidable. Everytime I drive a car I avoid accidents that wouldn't have been my fault.

  4. Re:Ad video in the article has terrible implicatio on Google Unveils Pixel Slate, Its First Laptop-Tablet Hybrid in Three Years (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Put down the koolaid.

  5. What you are missing is the very real world of iPhone filmography and high-end capture apps that really wring quality from the sensor.

    Which has absolutely nothing to do with using a tablet for real work.

  6. Re:Not much of an upgrade. on Google Launches Third-Gen Chromecast With 60fps Video, Multiroom Audio Support (variety.com) · · Score: 1

    Chromecast supports HDMI CEC. AKA use your TV remote dumbass.

    The point is that no one actually does it.

    One could also make the argument that Google's video is realistic while Apple's is delusional.

  9. Re:Those accessories are prohibitively expensive on Google Unveils Pixel Slate, Its First Laptop-Tablet Hybrid in Three Years (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    If you look also, the 599 is for a Celeron with 4gb of ram.... no thanks.

  10. Don't let the sleazeballs escape their name.

  11. You're being pedantic, in both cases governments were compromising electronics being shipped to people and places they wanted to spy on. People aren't outraged here about the way China compromised devices, they're outraged that China was compromising devices to spy.

  12. Remember when the USA did the same thing?

    Governments have safety in mind, people have career progress and short term stock prices in mind.

    Waymo cars required an intervention every 5600 miles, the average American driver drives 13000 miles a year. The average human doesn't crash 3 times a year.

  14. Or maybe Honda has shipped millions of vehicles while still known for reliability and they realize that shipping a half baked product which occasionally runs over a hobo isn't an acceptable product. Does that compare favourably for the silicon valley circle jerk?

  15. Re:Why is versioning so hard? on Wi-Fi Now Has Version Numbers, and Wi-Fi 6 Comes Out Next Year (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    The year honestly was the most logical one since anyone would know when the OS came out and whether it was recent or not.

  16. Re:Okay, I'll ask the stupid question on Hackers Are Selling Facebook Credentials on the Dark Web For $3 (nypost.com) · · Score: 2

    I imagine you could use it for fishing attacks, users are probably a lot more likely to click on a link their friend sent them.

    Also don't forget that the Facebook is also used as a SSO for many sites, so an attacker could use that to access information stored on those sites, or just to spam random sites.

    Elon's net worth is ~20 billion, so 20 million is 0.1%, this is the equivalent of you the reader going out and buying an OK suit.

    Short sellers do provide a service by counter balancing the voice of shareholders who only have an incentive to see share prices increase.

  24. Re:Alternative Reason - Protectionism on China Blocks Twitch (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Huya, Pandatv, Douyu are all alternatives to Twitch. They also have MUCH MUCH higher viewer levels than Twitch does. Even the casual streamer easily has a few hundred viewers, which on Twitch would be considered pretty good. The big time streamers have at least 100K viewers at any time. Any Chinese streamer trying to make a living on Twitch versus the alternative would be crazy.

    Chinese streaming numbers are generally considered to be padded.

    So far we haven't needed to - have most people even heard of the Alibaba, Panda.tv, or Baidu?
