Is that true on Android? On iOS location APIs just don't work in airplane mode.

Governments serve Google with over-broad search warrants frequently, but there is not information in this article stating or implying that Google responded to this or other similar warrants. Google has a whole department of attorneys dedic

Ghostbusters was subtle Reaganomics propaganda. In the film the government is the enemy and the heros are libertarians, self-described operators of unlicensed particle accelerators.

That makes sense since the implementation of things in GObject is basically the same as the internal architecture of Python. Since it's all just named properties and function pointers there's no chance that the compiler will rear

GTK and GIMP both suffer from the original decision by people who don't understand C++ to reinvent it in bare C except very poorly. It's what you get if you heard a rumor that vtables are bad somehow but don't realize that a

Color template errors are the greatest leap in the history of computer science. No longer do I need to scan megabytes of output to find the unexpected |unsigned| in the fifth level of a template expansion. https://clang.llvm.org&

If you have thousands of errors it is likely you simply misplaced a comma or semicolon. If you have just one error you are in deep trouble.

Really curious why you'd want to study these unless you already had strong fundamentals in application architecture and are not afraid to expose yourself to antipatterns. GIMP/GTK in particular are a cornucopia of terrible ideas

How does the Tesla do with localization? On the Honda system my wife and I can get out and switch seats and the car will move the seats and mirrors to our respective positions. It also can determine if the key is or is not inside the car so

The Analog Dialog is a treasury of good advice going back decades. Really worth your time if you have any interest at all in electronics.

Honestly curious why anyone would prefer a bluetooth system over an RF fob, especially an RF fob with physical key backup like Honda provides. Having to have a working and charged iPhone every time you want to open or close your car seems l

There's a 1300-acre photovoltaic plant in San Benito County that sits on a 5000-acre wildlife preserve. It's a bit of a natural experiment in that area.

I think this is what the other poster was getting at: for some reason Tesla boosters think other people are copying the design of their keyless entry system, but even a base-model Honda Civic comes with keyless, touchless entry with walk-aw

Modern wind has basically no impact on birds. It is several orders of magnitude less bird-hungry than are American domesticated cats.

The farming that would die is the very heavily subsidized business of essentially exporting California water. It's not like Californians will starve if we lose our cotton industry or if we don't have alfalfa to export to foreign d

My mistake. I didn't realize anyone was stupid enough to put an antivirus on an Android. Please amend my complaint to say that the sample is biased toward morons.

It's even more biased than this because it's desktop-only, Windows-only population. Mobile is HUGE.

The subway rail problem for SF doesn't seem to me to have a root cause of American governments lack expertise (which they do, to be certain) but rather simply that Americans are dishonest. Tutor-Perini thought they could chisel off a c

I believe it does, yes. "All Causes". The problem with excluding it is there's not enough underlying data to get WISQARS to cough up a county-level breakdown. Explore it yourself by starting at https://wisqars.cd

You don't seem very familiar with our system of production, distribution, and consumption of food. The government is _very_ involved in all aspects of this. They intervene on the supply side to guarantee prices for commodities. They

Are you sure this isn't just a bias of yours? Urban areas in the United States have a lower rate of fatal injuries due to violence than do rural areas. Perhaps this is not what you meant by "violent crime"? I know the outpu

The price is not even that outrageous. When specified similar to the top-of-the-line ThinkPad X1 Carbon it's only $200 more, and you're getting a better display.
