This is exactly what I do after Doordash got caught doing similar tactics. I'll occasionally pay a small tip on the app and hand over cash on top. Let's be honest, these guys aren't claiming every red cent in cash to the IRS.

Because the people who could translate it from human language to COBOL, despite its verbosity, are finding their code outliving them. If no one remembers how to maintain it, when it crashes it'll crash hard and fast and idiots will panic instead of picking up a reference manual.

I was expecting to see a monkey with its brain on a table bouncing it from paddle to paddle. But I guess it using its brain is just as good...sigh.

Imagine a world where DNA sequencing can be performed on a mobile device in microseconds. You could "lock on" to the DNA in question and follow it through the air creating "trail" to follow. You could then combine all of those trackers, aggregating the pathways of millions of people identifying their travel history, interests, genetic makeup, pets and animals and kindly remind them that the t-shirt they glanced at 2 days ago is available to buy...again I suppose since you already purchased it.

While this is great science if it can be duplicated, this is going to get abused heavily from overzealous police forces looking to "solve" the crime with the right color suspect that happens to be walking by on a windy day with the crime scene window open to "give the forensic analysts some air" to advertisers who want to sell their cattle to the next giant corporation. Why can't we just have nice things. Sigh.

"Deep Learning" I'll take it where I can get it I suppose. But projection into 3D space is in consideration to my positioning, as it is everyone's I suppose so maybe I should have written "relative to any viewer's position at all times." I've always thought our obsession with holograms utilizing 2D images is in the wrong place. If a 4th dimensional object casts a 3D shadow, why not look at ways to use light to cast the shadow instead of trying to use a 2D shadow to guesstimate the 3D shape. Reminds me of all the children's books/stories about being afraid if the shadow monster only to turn in the lights and see a coat rack.

Is I'm reading your posts correctly, you're basically testing its ability to copy PS4 data using the built in functions? That's not a reliable way to measure as it's unlikely a straight offset read/write is all that's happening. There could be checksums, verifications, and all other sorts of things going on. Unless you're connecting an oscilloscope to the data lines or writing your own benchmarks that run on the device's bare metal, you've only verified that the built in copy functions are the same regardless of disk used.

Unless the definition of real-time has added relativity to it, of argue 1 frame a second isn't exactly real-time. Maybe add the word "potentially" in there since this requires a Crisis level GPU? Also, can we get a consumer standard definition of hologram? When I hear this word, I'm thinking depth as it relates to MY position but this journal entry has defined it similar to all of those AR demos on mobile phones.

I suppose I'm a scalper then as I've been fortunate enough to get four of them with only one of them being sold on eBay for slightly more than I paid as none of my family members wanted the digital one and it didn't seem fair to sell it for $700 to those who can afford to flash, so it went to a guy who had almost gave up looking. But now that I've taken care of my family, I'm not taking up slots others are still fighting for. I will say that all four consoles came from four different retailers. Walmart, Best Buy, PlayStation Direct, and Amazon. Gamestop can go to hell with the damn bundles with useless gift cards. I don't think there are as many bots as people assume though. Almost all of these sites have implemented some form of captcha spirit.

This has two implementations, the first being specific to sse on x86 based processors, the other being high precession pointer increments. The x86 version specifically uses a call that prevents caching while the pointer increment is just writing to the stack and hoping for the best. It's that later one that could only work on the new M1.

You don't have to result to name (adjective?) calling, the GP may legitimately not know this game is a PS5 exclusive, even if he's lucky enough to know someone that has managed to get their hands on one. This is slashdot, we don't RFS before commenting, we arm chair it from the jump. Just point out the console doesn't have a public back yet and move on.

While their may not be any good alternatives that's not necessary for this trust to go forward. If the allegations are true and Google was penalizing mobile manufactures for the devices that were already in the wild, then this case may have some teeth. The real issue here is if taking away revenue sharing hurts the consumers and I don't think it does. If Google were removing the ability to use the search apps or engines from phones in the wild, then I think this would be an open and shut case, but taking away money from a contract violation doesn't really hurt anyone except the manufacturer. To note, Apple is the only manufacturer that did switch the default engines after the devices were sold and most of the consumers yelled bloody hell for that move so they reverted. This is going to be long and drawn out but get nowhere.

Using the waste heat to heat water is something a few hvac units do now. I used to work at a hvac manufacturer that happened to sell water heaters and we sold a closed system that could do both, but the complexity of the damn thing made it a non-starter for most hvac guys and plumbers didn't care for it in the other direction either. It also wasn't very efficient at the consumer scale so they dumped it and only sale it for commercial purposes where the giant units have a crap ton more heat to get rid of.

The irony with this statement along with others like it is some imaginary idea that black men are out there in droves intentionally leaving their families behind. This isn't the case at all. Does it happen, absolutely, but when black men are arrested in droves and hit with felonies and prison time, forcing the mother's to seek welfare, then unable to find work because of those minor infraction felonies resulting in recidivism, for multiple generations, you get this shit. You want this to change, then change the laws that were created by your great grandfathers precisely to get this outcome, or at the very least stop electing judges that apply harsher terms to blacks than whites for the exact same crime. Black teens are convicted at much higher rates as adults than whites, ruining opportunity before it can begin. Stop hiring people that look like you (not just physically) and passing over everyone else when you're not going out of your way to expand your circle of people to be more diverse.

People that don't have to deal with this type of stuff always point to the "it's the families," or "this doesn't happen to immigrants," or "racism doesn't exist because I have one black/brown friend," and never stop to ask why those points are almost always debunked when we look at the data and even adjust to account for these things we still see the same trends. Even the post about Indians not experiencing what blacks go through is pure BS. I've watched countless times white executives get off a call and the first comment out of their mouths is "I couldn't understand a thing they were saying and they should speak better English." Or one of my favorites "they should just stay in their own country." Yeah, the country (ies) with more top intellectuals than your entire population. And boy, don't let them grow a beard or worse be Muslim then you're in a whole new world of blatant racism. And yes, they do talk about this kind of stuff, just not to you as they know you'll just fire them and get another H1 to replace them.

It's people like the OP that attempt to take every attempt by others to level the playing field as a challenge to their superiority and doing so is racist because you're excluding them. Well, Todd, you're already playing the game as a professional with amateurs, you don't need the extra help as you're likely going to still win but at least it won't be a blow out.

While I understand their fear, you're not going to spray and reload when five fake protesters decide to bugler your home. Although, gun nuts are probably grinning ear to ear--not because they want to shoot but because they can finally say they were right in their own way. Troubling, but likely necessary, time to get this stuff off our chests so we can start making some real reform on finding common ground instead of continued division.

Maybe you might have a handful of douchebags that would answer a unique survey dishonestly but it's unlikely to be over a million unique douchebags. This isn't some 24 hour news pole that samples 20 people and call it "most of America," but something a little more rigorous, even if they don't release all the data for peer review--we know Facebook didn't give a shit about privacy to be a reason. I wonder if this could be used as a way to account for areas of the country that simply don't have adequate healthcare or testing but people still experiencing symptoms, phantom or real?
