In the US, I do believe that this technology exists. Whether or not all shipping firms have adopted it, I'm not certain.
As for the UK, I have even less of an idea. Either way, this fella had to call in each time a haul was transferred, so it seems that he's saved himself and the company a bit of trouble.
It does exist in the US. The ones I've seen are linked to GPS trackers that are added to fleets, so it's more a company adopted thing than a driver adopted thing.
The amount of data that you can get is pretty impressive from tracking a driver in real-time. There are even versions with cameras pointed at the driver and the road to record any "adverse events". In this way, it's less focused on the driver and more focused on fleet management.
I interviewed for a job in Las Vegas last year where I was shown this sort of technology for the trucking/shipping industry, albeit more server-based and not so distributed.
likely in different forms, think UPS/Fed Ex with their tablets and GPS connected trucks. Many trucking companies know exactly where their trucks are, they don't need to be told when they left; likely only why they haven't
Not to mention the entirely expected but entirely horrible response to /r/twoxchromosomes initially though they seem to have got that under control (again with excellent moderation).
Always for new and interesting AR stuff, but the website has my eyes hurting. Everything overlaid on top of an image is barely readable, and even the video is hard to watch with the background behind it. It's really a stark contrast to the rest of the site.
Yes, I was having issues myself reading the site. The text might benefit from a black border, really anything to keep it from getting lost in the images.
While I completely agree with your point that there are things that are better shown then described, it doesn't seem that difficult to say, "The home button is positioned such that it is too easy to accidentally hit it."
I'm sure they did draw on it. But, there's a difference between drawing to make sure drawing works and drawing because that's your job. In the first, people would be more likely to say "oh I brushed the home button". In the second, they're much more likely to suffer a critical flow interruption.
A) The product hasn't even shipped yet. That may be an option or made into one in an early update.
B) There may be a technical limitation to disabling or rebinding it (e.g. without impacting either other buttons, or the behavior of actual keyboard buttons).
This is troublesome to me. I'm just completing my MS in CS and have been coding at my job, but all of that has been on private repos (and have been rush jobs at times so they're not the most well formatted).
I can't share any work code I've written, and the projects look terrible. Would having several commits that say something along the lines of "made it look like less of a hack job" be a good idea? They can go back and see how terrible it looked before, but it was for a class and I had to get it done before I could start on my other class's assignment.
I feel like what I've written could get me a junior dev job, but I know I would quickly outgrow that based on the work I've done before (or maybe I'm giving myself too much credit).
I have mixed feelings. There are some laughs that I really enjoy, but the main character is just so awkward. I realize it's meant to represent the programmers out there who are exactly that awkward, but I just can't stand it in real life or on the big screen.
I find the supporting characters much more funny and enjoyable.
The gulf war, apparently. However, that's not the point. If you watch to the end, the officer explains that the cost of one of these slugs is only 25k yet it performs the same role (and more) of a multi-million dollar missile that a ship can only care a handful of.
And boy has the US Military fired a lot of missiles.
I use a Nexus 5 but recently I got a notification from MyPermissions [0] saying "Twitter for iPhone gained access to certain permissions." I checked it and it said it had rights to post on my behalf. I quickly removed all permissions as this was rather suspicious. I would recommend doing the same.
Have you ever owned an iPhone and installed the Twitter app? If not, have you ever installed a Twitter app on your Nexus?
If Twitter used the same app token for iPhone and Nexus twitter apps, and your Nexus twitter auth cred was stolen, they could use an implementation of the twitter client API with the iPhone user-agent, then post with your creds. I have absolutely no idea if any of that is accurate, but it might explain the access.
