Comment Re:No headphone jack ... (Score 1) 205

Yes this does indeed suck, there are some splitters out there so I can charge and listen but honestly the battery life last a long time streaming video and the charger is very very fast. However this doesn't stop it from being a pain in the ass. Why they didn't put in two ports boggles my mind.

Must be a shitty ploy, my brand new HTC bolt came with wired headphones. They are usb-c headphones but they are wired and they sound really really good. A cheap ass dongle will let me use my 3.5mm headphones if I so desire. I was butt hurt at first but I've gotten used tho them. Now if it was bluetooth only I would have taken this thing back in a heartbeat.

Actually it is, because diversity brings new opinions and viewpoints. If all you hire are white men you're only going to ever have the viewpoints of white men. And if the talent pool is heavily biased against non white men you need to go out of your way to choose diversified talent to make your company better.

I dumped mine because I was wanting speeds higher than G. But the DD-WRT was so much better than the shit firmware Linksys had in there. I was having to reboot the router at least once a week because it wasn't emptying its cache and a million other odd behaviors. Pushed DD-WRT on there and it was rock solid for several years.

Comment I'm surprised it took so long (Score 4, Insightful) 183

I've spent many years in the AWS (Automated Warehousing Solutions) industry. I've seen automated warehouses with huge industrial cranes moving 500 pound drums and tiny little pill box pickers. I've seen systems run 24x7 with almost no human intervention unless a robot drops something. How the hell did it take them this long to get some basic pickers running.

I can only think their warehouses are just a clusterfuck of different items in the same bin or whatever they call it. If so their inventory system was shit to begin with.

I think it's not just this but anything created by computers is now called AI. I read an article in Wired that had me throwing the magazine out the window about how close we are to true machine learning.

We're not even close, as a software engineer I fucking hate things called AI. True AI is so far from us it's redonkulous. Yeah it triggers me whenever I see LOOK AI MADE THIS!!

Comment Re:Skype for Business (Score 1) 224

I have the opposite experience. I use Skype for business at work and have no issues with it. It can be a little slow, I don't like how I have to accept conversations but other than that I never have it crash or act any kind of weirdness.

Submission + - Gravitational anomalies beneath mountains point to isostasy of Earth's crust

StartsWithABang writes: Imagine you wanted to know what your acceleration was anywhere on Earth; imagine that simply saying “9.81 m/s^2" wasn’t good enough. What would you need to account for? Sure, there are the obvious things: the Earth’s rotation and its various altitudes and different points. Surely, the farther away you are from Earth’s center, the less your acceleration’s going to be. But what might come as a surprise is that if you went up to the peak of the highest mountains, not only would the acceleration due to gravity be its lowest, but there’d also be less mass beneath your feet than at any other location.
