You won't be repairing this on your kitchen counter, unless the manufacturers change a LOT about their products.
It's not about access to parts and information. My HTC M7 would not come apart without damaging trim parts. These were available, but then I destroyed the screen trying to get it apart to dry it out. And putting it back together? Adhesives were the key part, and very, very difficult to reassemble. The M8, worse.
An iPhone X? Disassembly? Ha. It's glued up. Galaxy S8? Curved glass = virtually unrepairable. Not many high end phones can be repaired by you and me.
My Surface Pro 3 isn't coming apart easily, even for a simple SSD replacement.
The myth of repairability can be stamped out now for a variety of products. Mind you, for many, even BMWs, access to the computers is practical - I watched a guy mod an E36 and an E64 in an hour, with map changes, marrying radios, and resetting antitheft that would have cost $700+ at a dealer. All with a laptop and $35 dongles bought off eBay. If only my '98 Saab could have been handled so easily. Heck, the 04 Impala is impervious to BCM programming, needs the Tech II, blowing $300 for a box, and more and more every time you leap into a new generation of systems. I spent less on my Selectric tools.
Repairability is becoming a myth for entire types of products. replacing caps on a flat panel TV is possible, but desoldering surface mount chips? Those cute little parts in the power supply? Diagnostics would be a start, but even the best still leave you needing tools. No, we are losing the battle to technology that just cannot be fixed by amateurs.
I've seen some terrible 'signatures'. The Nike Swoosh has more information. And signatures that aren't being matched, of course, are of no use in risk management.
Biometrics will come on, since your more advanced smartphone has a reasonably functional fingerprint scanner in it, and embedding that in terminals will take, oh, maybe about 4 years. Getting EMV terminals out in force took 3 years of concerted effort. Oh, yeah, fingerprint scanning terminals will be a while.
PINs work well where they are used - your waitress/waiter will need to bring a tablet or some POS device to your table. The In N Out I go to the most does this in the DRIVE THRU FOR GOSH SAKE, and only needs to deploy a receipt printer, not so hard. Since those Ziosk things are getting popular, you just have to repackage it so the fancier restaurants will put them out. Or just bring a Ziosk tablet when the time comes. Not so hard. The signature there is pointless also, so PIN or maybe a camera... Oh, dear.
So long as it doesn't need new hardware, it can be done quickly. Card -present fraud is surprisingly easy to deal with anyways. Use TFA and touch the fingerprint scanner on your phone. Oh, isn't that called Android Pay? Or Apple Pay? Your bank might have an ePayment app.
MasterCard actually isn't leading anything by doing this, it's just following the electronic card payment market...
Which few seconds of When the Levee Breaks would be sufficient for a fingerprint? If the system is always listening, it always get the beginning, so it needs that, no more. Soundhound needs more since it gets called at any point in a track.
Somehow, though I wonder - if the music is playing on my device, I loaded it on there. The metadata must be somewhere, though if not, then I got an unlabeled track. Really? That's possible, but the value proposition escapes me.
First, electronic voting. Then issue a paper receipt. QR Code. Scan that on the way out, but the voter keeps it.
Discrepancies between the electronic vote and the exit receipt scan may trigger a recount, or small margin as it does so often now.
For a recount, first make it public that there were missing exit scans, and give voters a day or two to post their QR code to a site. I know, this risks forgeries, inattentive voters, and complexity. If, IF you enlist the aid of various publicly accessible stations such as lottery machines, bill pay stations, even the cashier at the supermarket, you're only getting the QR code back, so transmitting it can't be that hard.
This could spur the development of civilian sites begging for QR codes to do a self-selected sample, which while not statistically precise, might be useful for exposing egregious abuse. Or not, but I would be tempted to put one up just to collect them and see if something seems wrong. No, I would not conduct the analysis, but plenty of qualified helpers out there.
In the end, mismatches between the digital count and QR receipts would have to be investigated. Your concept of depositing a receipt on exit also works, but a two receipt system also allows a voter to check if their vote was tallied. Time and date, QR code, only a thumbprint would meaningfully add to this.
Ultimately, though it is evident that some polls are simply dishonest. Some communities are, based on their 2016 Presidential election results, fraudulent. Would this system fix that? Certainly before we begin a discussion on a popular vote election for President, we need an honest debate and resolution to these known and provable problems.
1. 'second-most votes' is an ongoing canard. He won the votes that were needed. Figure it out, or find an 11th grade civics class. OR change the rules, legally or illegally, if you can.
The premise of the article is that drivers are engaging in more complex tasks; sharing, authoring, editing. And that is driving (!) an uptick in fatalities.
So if your response is that drivers are not, in fact, trying to do anything that takes more than a fraction of a second, well, to hell with TFA.
If (IF...) this uptick is due to using those engaging features such as photos, etc, I doubt position fixes much. You're still engaged with the screen, and for an extended (at highway speeds) time.
I've had a mount in my car for phones for decades, knowing that having my phone floating around is terrible. And Bluetooth headsets to both keep wires out of the stick shift and to let me talk without holding the phone - this concept still eludes many drivers.
Mounting options are plentiful in most cars. Vent holders, cup holderholders, stick ons, mats. Many. Even the headphone can help with navigation on many phones, when the map nav announces routing.
There is, however, no escaping the problem of doing work on a phone for longer than 2 seconds at a time. That's 190 feet at highway speeds in much of the US. And if you drive the prevailing speed, more likely 210 feet. That's 12-14 car lengths. You're not watching anything 8 cars ahead. You're dead when it all goes wrong. Even if your phone is mounted up at eye level, so you can chuckle at the latest Facebook Trump joke.
"That's always the conundrum in such metrics. For example, it is actually well known that more powerful motorcycles are safer than underpowered ones. WHY? Because they ensure the ability to move quickly when needed in order to avoid accidents."
Assuming you've survived the first hour of driving your Hayabusa, as an example.
Oh, and you should not buy it form a dealer located on a busy street, or you'll have to survive the first 5 minutes.
After that, acceleration may save your life. May. After you've failed to identify the threat just a little bit earlier, or known your escape route all along. That 5%
If there is an IPO whose trading value increases five-fold in under a year, and you shout “bubble” (just once), there is a good chance you might be right once. Just once.
No, i don't approach issues, including this one, as if it's never been done before, or it's me, deserving a first fix. But I do seek to understand the root problem, root cause, and I try to make an informed decision based on the facts, which sometimes leads me to realize there is, in fact , no solution. Which may be the case in this instance. But each of us easily considers our intentions as better than others', and our understanding as more nuanced and more informed. Sometimes agreement is acceptable when when it's not quite what you want.
And you are responding to my attempt to deal with root causes, interpret issues referencing truth and outcomes. This I've considered a conservative method.
The difference between rights and legal or permitted behavior is important. Mistaking what we permit for what we are entitled to leads us to seek permission for that which we should be free to practice. Speech being a salient example.
As a self-identified right-winger, my first concern with prostitution is the inherent risk of abuse, first due to the social stigma, which puts the sex worker at risk of abuse by law enforcement, pimps and other rent-seekers, and clients. Removing the stigma is, or should be, out of scope for government intervention. Government can reflect society and culture, but when it is used to dictate or shape society or culture, it is no longer freedom, and our nation has become something it was not intended to be.
This is why, as described in a recent incident, police officers defending engaging in sex with anyone other than their spouses (or partner) while on duty as innocuous are flat-out lying. Being a police officer, on duty, they have an inescapable position of authority, and there can be no consensual interaction with any citizen without the obvious risk of becoming an enforced interaction. The gun on their person forces that. Even taking the gun and badge off solves nothing, however, because they can defer that forced interaction until 'later'. A police officer on duty, and probably even off duty, can use their position of authority to force others to comply with virtually any demand, and their only risk is not exposure, for we see too many reports of this happening, but the unfortunately rare imposition of undesirable consequences. these happen too rarely to be a deterrent on many forces...
And this is only the law enforcement risk to sex workers. their clients can take advantage of a real imbalance of power. Until society removes the various stigma associated with the work, this is a risk where the work is held in such low esteem.
Now, the question of whether prostitution is a moral or ethical profession is one to be left to the culture and society. resolving that could make the work safer.
Somehow I doubt this, unless this particular user happened to have a photo snapped with an acquaintance of a client...
Ultimately, Facebook is predicated on connections, and avoiding connections is in direct opposition to their business model. Good luck circumventing that. Even my LinkedIn account regularly gets unexpected and essentially random connections presented to me, especially for my work email which I inherited from a now departed employee who gets a lot of alumni-connected referrals from a university that refuses to remove me form the lists it distributes - even though there is virtually no advantage for their 'clients' to spam me, I'm not an alumnus, won't buy their whatever, and see them reselling lists, a fundamental spam problem, and I'm reminded weekly that they have no honor.
My beige Correcting Selectric II mocks you. As does my Hooverometer. Anyone can wield a hand cycle wheel nto even knowing what the degree marks would be used for. Fixing stuff seems to be going out of vogue too quickly.
Slashdot Mirror
Right now they are. How do we change that?
Please, no more laws.
Virtually all connectors are proprietary. The few we consider 'standard' are also. USB, HDMI, OBDII, all proprietary. Availability is the key.
Glued batteries rattle less, avoid other fasteners, is just a choice.
Gluing phones together lets them avoid visible fasteners. Apple bucks the trend here. Glass backs make glue necessary
I agree, profit is the motive. Attractive phones sell, and sales=profit.
So, they need to stop making attractive, profitable products.
Ok. You go first.

Your balloting system is very close.

Being two-faced is a problem for some politicians. Choosing the right faces is key.

I believe TFA, however.
Not that there is any way to get that SMS code, or spoof it
In Linux, some people call this hot-patching. Good reason to move up to the 4x kernel and enjoy.
Or use Livepatch. Or 16.04, ksplice/kgraft? Sorry, what was your complaint again, having to endure reboots for kernel patches?

The value of documentation.
Absolutely. You seem like a reasonable individual, how about you talk to them?
If there is an IPO whose trading value increases five-fold in under a year, and you shout “bubble” (just once), there is a good chance you might be right once. Just once.
Any questions?
