Seeing your comment being downvoted is the most American thing I've witnessed on the internet today
> What are some other well engineered long-lasting products?
How dare you not mention Nokia!?
Jokes aside, if you restrict it to "long-lasting" - Japanese woodworking, Toyota Hilux, Honda Super Cub... in fact a lot of post ww2 era Japanese manufacturing.
If you include high fault tolerance as well - a lot of USSR engineering is beautiful in this aspect. I recall they design a propeller with 8 blades because they expected 4 of them will crack in early stage of usage. Same apply to screw enclosures.
Here we go again... there's a rule that describe this situation where a measuring matrix becomes the standard, the said matrix is no longer indicative.
But please, I don't want to be pointing to a random bus outside my window to prove that I'm not a robot/deepfake...
The degrade of news article quality > the degrade of fact-checking journalism scrutiny > the degrade of written article quality > people rather watch live stream event than reading > degrade of live stream event trustworthiness because of deepfake...
What's next? Heavily scrutinised journal articles which runs check on videos with anti-deepfake AI-based algorithm?
Owns by the highest bidder, be it measured by monetary value or political power.
IEEE should have done this piece way earlier, not after BMWs heating seat already grabbed people's attention.
>If they want to opt out of data collection completely, they can ask Tesla to disable the vehicle’s connectivity altogether. However, this would mean losing features such as remote services, Internet radio, voice commands, and Web browser functionality, and even safety-related over-the-air updates.
Fairly cheap price to pay if they really allow a full opt-out though
Another piece of "Insight Porn" labelled as "No more insight porn", how ironic.
And when do people like the author start labelling any over-doing, over-indulging behaviour "porn"?
Should I expect in a few decades time that people binge-watching documentary will give birth to "doco-porn"?
Catchy marketing at its worst.
On the topic though, beneath whatever words he put on top it's an age-old idea that until you start doing something hands-on, it'll be hard to tell what you already know and what you don't.
The advice giving and taking is not a new concept, and data-driven is not going to change it. If one doesn't like handling slimy things, no matter how good a piece of cooking advice is - it's not going to help. Imagine capturing meat can be slimy in datasets.
The question is not How, but Why.
In the world of non-stop info/commerical bombardment, maybe it's great to have a few seconds of silence?
Also don't forget the entire idea could be a diminishing return - the better the technology, the shorter the time.
If Otis intentionally lengthening trip time so that they can feed more entertainment until a state-level regulation comes in place, I would start to suspect they've hired Zuckerberg.
I guess I don't need to mention the privacy concerns and consumer rights, considering this is HN.
p.s. the author never heard music in Britain's elevator because elevator = conveyor belt, the little box thing that carry people up and down a building? It's called a "lift"
(sorry I'll see myself out...)
1. OP is asking smartphone; SMS 2FA does not require a "smartphone", but "mobile phone".
2. Alternative options mentioned above should you be in the misfortune of losing your... "phone"
