luxury handset posted:meanwhile, the only thing uber has is a fairly simple middleman app that leads to endless competition, as well as the brand they've so expensively forged. uber is more of a holding company for the term 'uber' than a tech company at this point, and it's not clear what they could feasibly produce that other firms would be interested in buying. let alone the absurd idea that uber would get into manufacturing electric helicopters or whatever uber already has a horde of slave drivers though, the next step is to figure out how to combine cars and drivers into wheeled cyborgs. the step after that is to remove the cyborgs' urge to rape customers

VideoGameVet posted:The 3rd episode hits privatized health care hard. Which is interesting because my understanding is that South Korea has universal health care. Yeah, they're OECD top. quote:The quality of South Korean healthcare has been ranked as being among the world's best. It had the OECD's highest colorectal cancer survival rate at 72.8%, significantly ahead of Denmark's 55.5% or the UK's 54.5%. It ranked second in cervical cancer survival rate at 76.8%, significantly ahead of Germany's 64.5% or the U.S. at 62.2%.[1] Hemorrhagic stroke 30 day in-hospital mortality per 100 hospital discharges was the OECD's third lowest at 13.7 deaths, which was almost half the amount as the U.S. at 22.3 or France's 24 deaths. For Ischemic stroke, it ranked second at 3.4 deaths, which was almost a third of Australia's 9.4 or Canada's 9.7 deaths. South Korean hospitals ranked 4th for MRI units per capita and 6th for CT scanners per capita in the OECD. It also had the OECD's second largest number of hospital beds per 1000 people at 9.56 beds, which was over triple that of Sweden's 2.71, Canada's 2.75, the UK's 2.95, or the U.S. at 3.05 beds.[1] Even then what I've heard is that the Asian finance crisis affected so many Korean families reeeeaaaaal bad and the show reflects that. Even if you have the best universal healthcare, the better off people will be better off because they can skip all queues that working people have to wait in.

MiddleOne posted:It doesn't need to. Schools know how many students they have and what an average student consumes. Schools require parents to inform and (in most cases) prove dietary needs if they want them catered. Schools know how much waste is left by the end of the day down to the gram if they want to. Be careful. Talking to people from some places about kids taking school lunch by themselves is equivalent to talking to Oregonistanese about pumping fuel. They think that it will inevitably lead into chaos and anarchy, it just can't be done without face recognition software!  https://i.imgur.com/Nh5ZoqD.mp4 e: wow, I'm sorry.

His Divine Shadow posted:I'm below that line, not quite sure I can strictly call myself part of the arctic, the actual circle is a few hundred km north. The good news is that in some decades time our climate will resemble more that of Poland or with some extra luck maybe Hungary, it will just be lighter summers and darker winters! Like, really dark winters, no snow. It's going to be lovely! Oh, did I say there will be light in summers? Well the forest fires across all of northern Europe from Scandinavia to Siberia will cover us in eternal smoke for the fire season, so we don't have to suffer of harmful UV radiation on our fair skins as long as there are forests left to burn.

Nebrilos posted:I suspect what a lot of musk supporters do not grasp is that musk's vision of "saving the planet" only involves saving people like him, ie: very rich people. Obviously building a tunnel to act as an extra lane of traffic is a terrible idea, since an extra lane just induces more demand and traffic won't get any better. However, he isn't thinking about the effect of this extra lane on traffic in general; to him, the poor can wait in traffic, this sleek, extra-fast lane will only be used by rich people, like him. If the richest can escape to Mars, who cares if the bottom 99.99% of humans die scavenging for scraps on a dying Earth? It is a similar mindset to those who support scalping necessities during an emergency: as long as rich people can easily get whatever they want, who cares if the poor are suffering? We can take solace that even as we die of problems caused by them, they will be eaten alive by bronterocs.

At the very least line it up with flashing led lights that make it look like you're driving at warp speed.  Incidentally this is also what driving in a blizzard looks like. So Elon's holes are worse than driving in a blizzard. If you're a nerd, that is, and we know Elon's clientele.

What if you don't know what water temperature and wash intensity settings to use, and need an app to tell you? Do you want a dishwasher that's smart enough to turn itself off when it's done washing your dishes? By golly, Home Connect is the dishwasher for you! This sounds handy. Too bad the washer's water tap is closed (because I don't want a flood while I'm away from home) so it will have to wait until I get home to actually start running...

HootTheOwl posted:Carbon credits are great. I can buy an existing forest and pretend I'm carbon neutral because now existing de-carboning infrastructure is enclosed by my company. And then every year I get to reclaim the same forest when I recommit my promise not to clear-cut it down. If you never cut the forest then the trees will die and rot, releasing that carbon into atmosphere. So cutting it means being even more carbon neutral!  //sidenote: this is a big point of contest in EU right now, when national governments, forest industry, conservationists and everyone have their own ways of calculating what kind of forest economy model would be optimal. It doesn't help that some countries have practically zero wild forests left and some have lots and lots of them, but are also more reliant on forest industry. Protecting forests is the best choice for eco diversity, but on the other hand favouring the use of timber in house building would store that carbon for long & reduce the use of concrete. Then there's different ways of cutting forest, some of which are more efficient but again worse for diversity.

quote:Doerr’s doctor scheduled an MRI scan to rule out a brain-stem tumor. But because an MRI’s intense magnetic fields can interact with the Argus II, MRI providers are instructed to contact Second Sight before performing any scans—and Second Sight wasn’t picking up the phone. Doerr eventually got a CT scan instead, which found nothing. “I still don’t know if I have a brain-stem tumor or not,” he tells Spectrum.

Main Paineframe posted:Is there any voice recognition software that not only supports multiple languages, but just automatically detects what language someone is speaking instead of needing to be explicitly set to a language? Given the current state of the art, I kinda doubt it. You can try this by going to Google Translate, choosing "detect language" and then saying some phrases in different languages to mic. The results are wild. Selecting a language will give far more accurate results.

Nebrilos posted:I missed Tesla chat, but I wanted to ask, why is Musk allowed to sell his "technology" using names like "Autopilot" and "Full Self-Driving" if it not actually capable of driving itself. Like, words have meaning, right? "Full Self-Driving" has a clear, unambiguous meaning. Not even "self-driving", but "FULL self-driving". But his story to the government to allow its use on city streets is to say "oh, it's assistive tech only". You see, in Elong's native Afrikaans 'auto' just means car and 'pilot' means navigator. And 'full self-driving' translates to pedestrian-murdering killbot. It's just a misunderstanding!

America Inc. posted:Is it possible to draw an analogy between today's problems with disinformation on social media and the yellow journalism of the turn of the 20th century? You're saying that as if bad journalism and people unable to read media critically went away at some point? I think the main difference is that when reading Murdochmedia you don't yell back at the paper. Or maybe some do. Social media is interactive, which makes it more engrossing and allows for phenomena such as Qanon to develop. And since it's global, if something resonates even with 0.1% of audience then that's millions of people worldwide.

PT6A posted:My favourite example of ignoring things that should be usability requirements is the Garmin GTN650/750 GPS. It's an aviation GPS, and by all accounts it's exceptional except for one very, very significant flaw. You see, like most new devices, they thought: touchscreens are great, we'll use one of those for all the main functions. It doesn't work well even on ground if your touchscreen gets wet or snowy or dirty... which is not rare when roaming the outdoors. Or if you are wearing normal gloves. A physical interface is always better for wilderness unless you are having a light stroll in perfect weather.
