Flying low over the central flyway during migration season might not be a good idea.
Geese are non-compressible fluids as far as jet turbines are concerned.
Probably a Canadian Geese trying to sneak into America.
nope. I can record in my own home, my friends home, a strangers home. There is no barrier as long as I consent to my own recording. This has helped many domestic abuse cases, kidnappings, SA, murders be solved in single-party states.
I was referring to two party states, however even in one party states there are limits to your right to record, for example you may have to be a party to the conversation and not just eavesdropping or in a place with a reasonable expectations of privacy. One party consent doesn't protect someone from other laws regarding recording.
That would be a temporary solution, but competitors of Flock are already using fingerprints from your car based on Bluetooth from infotainment, built-in modem for updates and telematics, and even your TPMS sensors which broadcast unique IDs. In addition to that the fingerprints can contain info from your phone (Wifi, Bluetooth, RFID, cellular modem) and other wireless devices such as headphones and AirTags. Apparently this is already available in a product known as Leonardo. Looks like it's time to build a Faraday Cage around my vehicle.
Sounds like th epublic needs an OSS version of Leonardo to even th eplaying field and track police and elected officials...
Only illegal outside of single-party consent states.
Even in two party or all party consent states the laws generally only apply if there is an expectation of privacy, and thus usually not in public spaces.; as always the laws are more complex than"require two party consent to record..." That doesn't make it any less creepy to walk around recording people.
"The Trump administration's Department of Energy wants to create 'campuses' in several states to store waste,"
Given the high standards this administration sets for contractors, I'm sure there's no reason to ask more questions.
Yea, those tears in the casks are due to vandalism and Democrats and of course, Joe Biden
If they don't do anything novel, then why would a mathematician use it for this type of paper in the first place? Hmm.
Good for them, but I guess too late? I was in San Francisco recently, and I was told that Waymo's prices just dropped beneath Uber's prices, which to me seemed to me like an important tipping point. Tech is only going to get cheaper, and humans are only going to get more expensive - unionized, even more so. I took quite a couple of Waymos on that trip, and was shocked how quickly one becomes used to the whole driverless thing. It works well enough. And I doubt there's a competetive way to get that genie back into the bottle.
EIU I suspect Lyft/Uber drivers will at best become surge capacity as Waymo expands if Waymo stays cheaper; resulting in drivers chasing fewer rides with little pricing power. As a result, the ability to make a living as a driver will be even worse than today. I also suspect the fight will shift to the political arena with drivers hoping the political clout of the SEIU will save them by getting laws passed to limit Waymo and / or raise their costs and thus prices. For example, I've seen where taxis tried to push limos and Uber/Lyft pickups away from curbside to make them less viable for customers.
Siri Recap runs only when you choose. You can turn on Siri Recap in the Watch app on iPhone. When you turn it on, you can set a schedule based on time and/or location (for example, "only at work" or "never at night"), or you can manually turn it on and off. Across all these options, you can always turn it on or off at any time from Control Center.
If it is illegal, don't use it. If you find it unacceptable to record and transcribe, don't use it. This isn't some new never before seen tech, there are programs that let you record audio on the watch already, and they keep an entire conversation not just a transcript.
Not running windows.
Google has a fundamental problem with perception of which roads are equivalent.
It often sees rural 60mph roads as equivalent to highways where in reality they former are narrow, bendy, sometimes dangerous, and you can never so more than 30mph on them safely.
One advantages of this if enough data is collected on those roads then Google will have real data to base they routing on rather than speed limits which may not reflect reality on the road.
The Stanford University Institutional Review Board clearly dropped the ball on this one. Not entirely surprising since Stanford is Google's alma mater and I'll let you imagine what that means for board members.
Last I check Google is a private company, not an academic conduction research under Stanford's name. There was no more tampering than any other routing and the users know Google going to recommend a route based on their algorithms, and this was simply can attempt to see how well they could work.
Had this happen three times in the last month or two in Northern California. As long as I follow the new route strictly, I usually get there at about the same time I would have otherwise, but with a brand new view of the cityscape / rural landscape. Went for a nice river drive last week, 10/10 so far.
Don't think Google did it to me as I am not in the targeted cities, but a few times I've had WTF reactions to routing and said F it, I'm going how I always do...
