O2 sensors are exhaust sensors working in a very dirty environment.
As opposed to those clean room environments of snow, mud, rain, pollen and dirt, right? I am not talking about them failing but them getting obscured in such a way that they no longer provide good data.
This includes 8 cameras, 12 ultrasonic sensors, a forward-facing radar,
I am very interested going forward to know what the maintenance is going to be on this stuff. A relative who owns a garage maintains a fleet of 100 vehicles for a company and says that a significant part of his work is related to sensors that have nothing to do with driving, e.g. mass O2 sensors. Self driving cars depend on absolute values for all these sensors. How many can become non-functional before the electronic brain goes into lockdown because it doesn't have sufficient info? We like to think that this stuff just works and in a safe environment, it does. Out on the road where there are potholes, or rocks, or squirrels that run out into the street these sensors take damage.
I think driver-less cars are ahead but there is a whole host of major issues we have not even foreseen with this technology.
You must not live where Southwest flies. I have not paid a bag fee in years and the amenities I get are the same I have been getting for twenty years. Not exciting, to be sure, but no worse either.
With how employees are hired/fired, having an armful of chips will suck over time.
I think it more likely that this will become the equivalent of badges in games. People will brag about having a chip from Google, Snapchat or [insert trendy tech company here.] Next there will be dating sites where prospects will be filtered by previous employment.
Often times a change may be warranted but not implemented because the cost recovery time does not definitively justify said change at the current time. In this case there is an external factor that may influence the decision. Management may have previously deemed the cost not worth it but a day of lost productivity may reveal unexpected costs that may force the switch. In a world in which fears of worker replacement are a constant discussion poking this particular bear is not smart, imho.
That train is going to be run. You have no choice about that. But you can choose whether it’s going to be run by one of your men or not. If you choose not to let them, the train will still run, if I have to drive the engine myself If you think that I need your men more than they need me, choose accordingly. If you know that I can run an engine, but they can’t build a railroad, choose according to that.
It's in the best interest of the union
Not if striking lets the union find out that the employees they represent are no longer needed and the union's membership suddenly no longer pays union dues.
Do all your programs still work? In my family we had a//e, one uncle had a ][+ and another had a//c. Few things were more annoying than borrowing a program that worked on one but didn't work on another.
solar requires far more workers per MWH for some reason.
Solar power has a significantly lower energy return on energy invested. Solar is a very wasteful energy source up front.
(Before people get upset, this increases over time as the energy investment happens only once while cells generate energy for decades. The problem is those future MWH can't be used today.)
I know I"m moving closer and closer to the "get off my lawn" crowd, but please tell me, I missed it..when did things change an EVERY job available became one where you were supposed to make a living from and have a career?
You better be careful even asking this question. The baristas at Starbucks might draw nasty designs in your foam.
If there is no headphone jack, buying traditional headphones would be pretty dumb. Any outcome other than an increase in wireless headphone sales would have been very unusual.
I think the problem with Civ et al AI is that the individual PC doesn't have the horsepower to be a competent opponent. Given a webapi to Google AI I imagine developers could create games that are effectively unbeatable by humans.
There is no reason whatsoever to think that a civilization of hunter gatherers cannot continue to survive on Earth for a long, long time to come. Even if the oceans rise several feet there will still be arable land somewhere. The people who say we are destroying the planet are full of sh*t. The only thing we can do is make it inhospitable for humans to exist. The *Earth* will continue and some kind of life will survive and even thrive. It just may not include homo sapiens.
In his defense, he probably didn't think he was doing anything wrong by removing those files
Document retention regulations have been around for quite a while now. Any network engineer that isn't aware that there are rules in place about this, especially since he knew the identity of the VIP, isn't a very good systems manager. Back when I wore that hat, there were occasions when I made sure a request like this came from a supervisor and in writing.
Few things warm my heart like seeing fantasy meet reality. I know that necessity drives invention but we are seeing the limits to the physical properties of matter.
Sometimes I'll just say "that movie SUCKED. But the visual effects were AWESOME!".
This is the reason that for the Academy Awards each category, save Best Picture, is voted on only by the members in that category. A movie can absolutely suck but have great music or amazing editing. The people who work in a field know for what to look when they watch and know good work when it happens.
Making a device that lets other, non-governmental people stop me from using it is not a service, it's a theft.
Not if you agree to those terms. If the terms of attending a concert are "no recording, filming or photography" then you agree to be stopped by attending the concert. Don't like those terms? Don't go.
if they're smuggled in, returning them after the concert.
Why stop there? Put up a sign stating that cellphones observed during the concert will be confiscated and turned over to authorities whereupon the owner will be charged with some minor crime/fined if they show up to retrieve it.
The performer has the right to set the conditions under which they perform and observers violating those terms deserve some kind of negative reinforcement.

Odds of sitting next to an empty seat to spread out onto: used to be good, now nearly zero.
You realize that when planes are consistently full it reduces the per passenger cost and by extension, ticket price, right?

I'm pretty sure a substantial number of /. posters think their code will run the first time it executes. Why would they preview a post?

Future development can be envisioned at any scale.
How many past discoveries were advertised as the solution to [insert problem] only to be found that in fact they did not scale.

The number of cars Musk wants to make will consume the entire production of this plant. He had to build this plant to be able to build cars.

Not enough, sadly...

Except that only a few documents were found to be marked classified.
Since it was "only a few" does that make it okay? It is okay if I only kill a few people or only steal a few cars?

Paying a dividends demonstrates financial viability. They significantly increase their ability to raise capital showing that they aren't losing money.
They don't have Nazis, they had to make due with Neo Nazis which, just like New Coke, turned out to be inferior to the original.
