I agree with the camera helping when pulling in backwards into parking slots. The style of mirrors helps too. Trucks are equipped to make it easy to position them accurately when backing up. You need accurate positioning to hook up a trailer.

Another part of the problem with parking is the longer wheelbase and larger turning radius. If you are facing forward in a parking slot then when you leave you cannot start turning significantly until you've backed about half way out of the parking slot. When backed into a parking slot you can start turning almost immediately as you leave.

I suspect the difficulties when parking is part of the reason why most trucks you see in the city are the shorter wheelbase variants.

I agree this is a dumb proposal.
Just wait until the AI that generates your code gets compromised.

After a quick internet search I'll leave this link here:

How the fuck is 550 meter accuracy, let alone 2 nautical miles accuracy, better than GPS.

I suspect it is accurate enough to find the airport if/when GPS fails or is jammed. Landing the plane will be up to the pilot.

The *concept* sounds interesting (allowing 3rd parties to no longer have to have their own background updater running in the background could be a net positive). I want to know more about the details.

Yeah, I'd hate to miss out on my malware updates.

At least for me there are other factors too.
I skimmed the paper and didn't see what questions they wanted to ask in the survey. For only $5 or the 1 in 20 chance of $100 I'd want to know what the questions are up front and what they will do with the answers and if they collect any personally identifiable information.

... for getting clicks and views that make money.

Advertisers will love this. I suspect the QR codes won't just have the information proposed in this article but embedded links that you'll have to follow to get the information you are looking for. Along with that you'll get advertisements and tracking cookies.

The categories of data that would be impacted by APRA include certain categories of "information that identifies or is linked or reasonably linkable to an individual or device,"

If simple 'anonymization' of the data can avoid these restrictions it won't really help much as cross-comparing with other databases can often allow the data to be de-anonymized.

It's not really an attack vector without first bypassing Apple's cryptographic signature verification mechanisms.

This works until someone discovers a bug in the implementation.

I've not used it but there is also NTPSec: https://ntpsec.org/

Using the resulting fuel to generate power would be a lot like liquid battery that works in a traditional power plant with few to no modifications. This wouldn't permanently remove the carbon from the atmosphere but it might make a transition to fully renewables easier.

...the whole strategy was to have fees high enough to cover for all fraud because that was still cheaper than adding any actual security.

This may explain yesterdays article regarding Visa and Mastercard raising Credit-Card fees.

I expect that once the conversion is complete and cursory checks pass the original Cobol source will become lost or get deleted. Then when a bug or corner case is found no one will know how it is supposed to work and have nothing to fall back on.

as far as a "memorandum of understanding" goes, please refer to John Deere's track record on the subject, and how that ended up.

I agree. I suspect they intend to delay things as long as they can just like John Deer has done. They stand to make a lot of money doing this.

The article you linked was published in 2015 so it is not exactly a new study.

Here are a couple of key paragraphs from the article you linked:

The above paragraph supports your basic statement but then a few paragraphs later it says:

The article linked in today's summary says the newest data from 2017 to 2020 show the trend in the losses is increasing rapidly so the situation described in the second paragraph quoted from the article you linked appears to be coming true.
