If there's anything Flock does that Axon doesn't, it's only because Axon doesn't have people smart enough to do it yet. Once the funding shifts from Flock to Axon, they'll hire the people who can make it happen, esp

Xfinity/Comcast does the same thing. By default, the router they provide has a separate WiFi network supporting their distributed WiFi service. It's only for their customers, and it's not an open no-password network, but I&#x

I'm not sure if any TVs currently do this, but they could connect to unsecured public WiFi without the user doing anything, if one were available with no password. Fortunately such networks aren't that common most places, but it&#

I can relate, but the problem here is that you shouldn't live in an apartment. I never will again, for all the reasons you outlined. It's unreasonable to expect quiet in apartments. People have different schedules, they're di

They're not going to grow it if they can't sell it, nor are they going to grow it if the water stops being free. We shouldn't be growing alfalfa, for export, in the desert, with free water, and subsidizing the farmers on top

It's not a typo. Although it's really more of a routine malapropism than an eggcorn, since it's nonsensical. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eggcorn

It's an eggcorn for "layman's".

Tons of sites do that, because everyone who designs websites is a moron.

> to disambiguate the surprisingly rare case of two customers with the exact same name I see you have an uncommon name. My first+last are shared by about 20,000 people in the US. From 2005-2020 I was unable to check-in for airlines onlin

Agreed. Hardware is almost always cheaper than engineering time, until it isn't, and that's when you should spend the time on targeted optimizations.

This starts from a false premise. Ideas aren't cheap. Good ideas are expensive. They're expensive because you have to weed through all the bad ones to identify them, find a market, and turn them into a product. You don't know

Well, for one, it wants me to scan a QR code as a captcha.

Yeah, I know they can. I just can't believe it's normalized and that people simply accept it. Good on the EU for pushing back.

Short-term home rentals were basically non-existent before Airbnb. A tiny, tiny market for them in some vacation hotspots.

Do you honestly think there's a plan?

Yes, top and bottom at the same time, from the back or front. I have giant hands and that's a comfortable grip for me. Anything else feels like it's going to slip and drop one-handed.

I've never touched an Xbox controller—or really any console controller since the early Nintendo days. What I find to require contortion is maintaining a grip on the Deck while operating the front controls without simultaneously squeezi

I hit it accidentally all the time. Any time I have to temporarily one-hand it with my right hand. The sides are rounded and smooth and there are buttons on the back and top of the side. The power button is very sensitive as well and doesn&

Really tempted to sell mine. I have a 1TB OLED that I think I paid $649 for last year. It's a dumpsterfire* of a device and I hate it and never use it. Could easily sell it for more than I paid for it. * Too big and heavy to hold witho

This article appears to lack any reason for "needing" this beast, or any real comparison with alternatives, both of which are required to answer the question posed in the title. It's a summary of how much they spent and some

I did address it: AI in the hands of the right people. Random contributions to bug bounty programs or random PRs for new features come from all corners: expert engineers producing fantastic code; intermediate engineers trying their hardest

AI in the hands of the right people is incredibly powerful. A good team of engineers with AI doing their own bug-hunting on their own code is already far better than any outsider—human, AI, or human-assisted AI—could ever do. A good interna

There's no reason to care that a human spent time on it. Humans are bad at writing code. Garbage PRs and slop have been a problem in open source and bug bounty programs since long before AI came on the scene. We need better AI so that

You say that like there's a difference. You say that like the detail of data that Google Analytics farms is acceptable. You say that like what Google does with the data is acceptable. Just because companies want the data doesn't m

The author seems to be starting with the assumption that humans need to review all AI code in detail and be able to understand and maintain it without the AI assisting. In my experience, this isn't how people are using AI. It starts ou
