Huh, these things you hated were some of my favorite aspects. It’s almost as if our opinions are subjective...

I agree it is really difficult, I actually work in the automotive field and have seen a lot of the difficulties. I think that 40 years is a good estimate for nearly full-autonomous driving.

You are making a lot of assumptions. The first assumption you are making is that the entire theory of gravity, as it is understood by physics, is at all relevant to the discussion. If these people believed that our theory of gravity were correct, they would not believe in a flat earth.

If, in fact, the truck costs 20% less to operate than the equivalent diesel powered rig, that would absolutely get attention from business. The vast majority of costs isn’t the purchase, but the operation. In some cases, you can have a single truck costing upwards of $200,000 to operate annually. A typical rig is in

Great Scott! What part of *waves hand mysteriously* don’t you get?

OMFG can you people maybe read one article about faceID or a general overview before asking this question for the billionth time?

You could wait a month, or you could immediately unlock your phone with the passcode.

Uhm, secondary check with passcode. Did you watch the video or are you just an Apple hater?

Maybe take a minute or two to learn about something before you start complaining about it next time?

It uses the same technology as Kinect. I have misgivings about FaceID, but a flat picture isn’t going to fool it. A better test would be one of those high end latex masks or a face sculpture.

How is that any different than someone using your finger - conscious or not - to unlock your phone that has Touch ID? The only way to secure your phone from people while you are incapacitated is to not use a biometric unlocking system and instead only opt to use a text based password (ideally something more than the 4

Wait... What? The company can charge $100 an hour, take a cut of $25 an hour — 25% of the wage — still pay their taxes and make bank.

Yeah, $33-$35 an hour at median seems fair, and I’m all for paying the people who are heading away from their families and into VERY dangerous territory to restore power to an utterly demolished area as much as $100 hourly, which would basically be the overtime rate + hazard pay.

Employers with strict guidelines about information generally state that everything is restricted by default and that anything being released needs to be cleared by the appropriate parties to have its classification downgraded. They also tend to provide annual training to reinforce this matter.

Watch the video, he gives her the phone in a secure area of Apple where no filming is allowed and watches her film it. It’s not like she grabbed his phone off the counter and made a secret YT video. The guy who left his in the bar - mistake (unless you believe reports it was a deliberate PR tactic). This guy,

It’s entirely possible they updated their policies after the bar incident. Had the policies been different, he may not have violated them at all.

People will do, what makes them excited. What about the people who madly rush to buy concert tickets, only to be foiled because within mere seconds, the tickets are all sold out from bots?

For me, I wanted the better lenses that you can’t get in the regular 8, and I wanted the screen size that is close to the 8+ in the case size of the regular 8. That was worth the extra $200 to me, although I bet I like the OLED screen much better too.

Camera access is only available to apps in the foreground. You go ahead and close those background apps if it makes you feel better, but as far as this concern and the other common battery concer, it makes no difference.
