if you are worried about hackers, buy a car without any wireless features. no remote starter, no keyless entry, no bluetooth, no wifi, no onstar, no uconnect, no cell phone connectivity.
it seems that the new much-more-accurate algorithm still misses 30% of cases. For me, hurting (even killing) 3 out of 10 pedestrians still sounds quite bad.
missing 30% isn't killing 3 out of 10 people, it's killing 7 out of 10 people which is a solid 70 points or 210 points if you are drifting. #Carmageddon
I'll wager by 2025 most Cubans traveling to USA will be complaining about the shit internet and shit cellular here.
LOL! How much are you willing to wager? I would like to point out that Cuba's regime clamps down hard on communications technologies. They fear rebellion because they are tyrants.
As a millenial, phonecalls never made sense to me. Unless I actively want to hear your voice (my parents for example) then i have an infinite and vastly superior cadre of resources with which to communicate.
it's true that many interactions are best kept to a text medium but the tone and volume of your voice is just as informative as what you are saying. i'm not saying it's more effective at resolving issues, i'm saying it's better for expressing your emotions.
maybe it's just me but i've searched there site and there is no source code listed anywhere? did github really just publish a closed source project for an open source community?
A call for tenders, or invitation to tender (ITT) (often called tender for short) is a special procedure for generating competing offers from different bidders looking to obtain an award of business activity in works, supply, or service contracts. They are usually preceded by a pre-qualification questionnaire (PQQ).
sounds like they used it to win government contracts and blackmail government officials that didn't play nice.
if you want to trust a router, you better be sure there is a vested interest in it being secure. new consumer grade routers come out as often as car models and the firmware is common crap that has half-assed security in the name of features.
i wouldn't trust a router without it being open source and open hardware down to the ICs. so... is anyone making a RISC V based router?
It's pretty obvious that all the tech companies are trying to increase diversity but the talent simply doesn't exist in the industry. There needs to be more minority and female students taking computing science in university, which means better recruitment for girls coming out of high school and better schools for minorities in general.
but why do there need to be more minorities and females in IT? forced diversity is blatant prejudice.
it's pretty simple, if you are coughing up blood, you dont go to work and then infect your coworkers with ebola. why should we allow computers that are doing the same thing to come to the internet? people mostly dont know they are infected, so injecting a little HTML into served pages that will help them disinfect their computer would be a good start. if it's been a week and they are still infected, it's time to serve them pages only on how to disinfect their machine and close any unrelated ports.
there are very few reasons to keep flash installed/enabled. if you must have it, use flashblock but chances are you can just disable/remove it completely. if some site still uses flash to play video, leave a complaint in the comments. those that haven't switched to html5 yet will do so soon enough.
if you still have java plugin installed, you better have a good reason because no (sane) sites use that shit.
i was interested in VistA and what all the fuss was about, so i decided to check it out. turns out the backend is nightmare code that would would swear was machine generated. after some investigation i found out it's MUMPS (Massachusetts General Hospital Utility Multi-Programming System) code. a lot of useful stuff started way back in the 1970s... but MUMPS is a 1960s nightmare come to life.
think i'm exagerating? here's a module from VistA's code which was apparently updated in 1989.

then perhaps you should update wikipedia. Then again, that means you have to cite some sources that aren't your ass.
The Zephyr 7 holds the official endurance record for an unmanned aerial vehicle for its flight from 9 July to 23 July 2010, lasting 336 hours and 22 minutes (2 weeks / 14 days).[3][4] Record claims have been verified by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) for both duration[4] and altitude, at 21,562 meters. It more than doubled the previous endurance record for unmanned flight.[5][6][7]
Ya know, I'll bet that if we didn't have so many science haters and pork barrelers in Congress playing games with the budget, that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration could do similar research.
do you really think NASA should be wasting any brainpower on this corporate horseshit? if companies want to make supersonic jets quiet, let them do/pay for the research. frankly, i would prefer NASA stay on the task of helping humanity, not corporations.
technical issues with 3d aside, to get any meaningful information about it fitting, you first have to have actually have meaningful information about the product! this means that you would need a full 3d model of each article of clothing for each size from every seller. furthermore, you need information about the material it's made of and most importantly, how it reacts to being washed which means information about how the clothing was constructed. with all that information, you might as well be the one making the clothing.

there is no need for this bullshit to continue.

The problem is half the people in the workforce are below average.
As an employer, the issue isn't greed
of course not! damn those mathematicians and their definitions!
you sure do sound like a swell boss! smart too, even!

"falling back to earth and breaking the sound barrier in the process."
So it wasn't powered by a jet engine, meaning less noise to begin with.
the point is to reduce the sound from a sonic boom, not the engine, genius.

if your enemy doesn't like you on their networks, they can always disconnect or turn off their machines.
the only way to win is not to play.
look, none of this is a problem as long as nobody asks about the worst case scenarios.
Umm... you mean what's the worst that can happen?
dammit man, haven't you ever seen a disaster movie?!
look, none of this is a problem as long as nobody asks about the worst case scenarios.
the real question is when will we advance this technology far enough to not just be an assistive device for surgeons to actually being the surgeons?
But can it play Crysis?
ftfy. :)

stores aren't going by the wayside just yet.
this is only an issue for spectators because all the competitors bring their own food for good reason.
competitors don't want...
* to become ill from food you aren't used to eating.
* to get disqualified because a jingoistic jerk spiked their food.
