There is usually a setting for the rear seat reminder. It's to remind people to not leave their babies in the car. Maybe the volume is purposefully set a little high to wake the kid up just in case you forget.
Fatigue, some medications (and drugs, to be fair), and stress, perhaps? Being tired or stressed has made me miss exits. Then again, songs on the radio or whatever have, too.
99.999% of the time, no. But the consequences of forgetting are disastrous, and it's happened to plenty of well-meaning but distracted and preoccupied people. It was one of my greatest fears when my kids were young.
We bought an Instant Pot-brand air fryer. I love the thing entirely except for the buttons. They are not real buttons, just some sort of touch sensor but they sometimes just cannot detect a finger. You'd think that maybe the surface was dirty but it works just as bad when it's just been cleaned off and hands are washed. I beginning to think that the actual sensors are not aligned perfectly with the labels or that they are set to ignore someone pressing with their whole finger instead of the just the tip.
I have this too. I've had to unplug it entirely and plug it back in to make it work sometimes. Hilarious that "did you try restarting it?" now applies to air fryers.
FWIW most of the touch issues I have with mine are due to moisture. If my hands are wet at all or there's any moisture on the panel (sometimes happens with cooking) then I have to wipe it down with a dry paper towel.
One other fun thing I discovered - if you push the light button on and off again repeatedly it eventually stops letting you do it. I didn't count the number of times it took, maybe 20-30 times. I was clearly really bored waiting for my food to finish
Waze has been pretty good at finding gas stations along my route and organizing them by distance from me and distance from my route. Like it would show a gas station 2 miles off the highway from the next exit but it will also list out a gas station that is 15 miles away right off the highway. Either option is up to you based on how much time you want to waste versus how soon you need gas.
My building has a lot of "private offices" but due to overcrowding, you end up doubling or tripling up in offices meant for one person. These are traditional offices with a window and solid wood door. Honestly, I'd rather just have my big cubicle from before the last time I got moved around. I don't need an actual private office, I just want some sort of semi-enclosed space where I can't hear my neighbor on the phone and just enough room for my desk, some boxes of hardware, and maybe a guest chair. If that means a cubicle with great soundproofing, so be it. A window would be great but I'm also content with just some natural sunlight somehow entering my space.
Both of those jobs are very often performed my people with little to no other option to escape poverty. A poor kid growing up in WV in some bumfuck town may only have the option of mining coal like generations before him or joining the military to escape the town. Of course he could just leave the town on his own but now he's out in the world with no family or friends to support him with a high school education that puts him at the bottom of any job applicant pool. These kids are at the same level of advantage as poor kids in inner cities. Poor education and possibly a poor home life leads to limited opportunities which leads to a cycle of poverty that's hard to escape. Things like basic income and free college can really help those that wish to succeed and escape their economic class. To simply ignore the situations that drive people to join these jobs is ignorant at best and classist at worst.
I imagine that iMessage isn't executing the code but the malware is packed into some part of the metadata that some dumb library needs to parse and some sort of buffer overflow attack is accomplished. The library is probably assuming the data is safe to parse.
This is an interesting idea but how does the cost compare both on computer resources and setup effort to scan the entire warehouse floor? Simply having robots with accurate motor encoders (and maybe IR sensors like in mice) and enough floor tags should allow the bots to move around the factory in safely defined paths. You can accomplish this with a basic microcontroller and can have robots quickly moving across the floor while scanning tags to update their positions. This image based system would allow more dynamic paths to be taken but now you need a much more expensive computer running image comparison and storing what I can imagine to be a massive image dataset.
Motor encoders drift. If the wheels ever slip, your encoders are now telling you the wrong position. In fact, that's how this system works: they read encoders to get a dead reckoning position, then correct it with the visual system to give full accuracy.
The advantage of a photo survey is that you can do it with the bot hardware (as in fact they do here; they dragged it around but I don't see why you couldn't do random-walk to cover an area), so setup cost should be relatively constrained. Computationally you're not exactly breaking the bank either - it's running at 4fps on an Nvidia Jetson TX1, which I suspect is overkill.
This is great, I've been looking for just this kind of solution in a small package. I don't always have a GPS antenna drop but I do have a rubidium source in my rack. None of the computers have a 1pps or 10MHz input except for the test equipment so keeping the Windows and Linux boxes synced up is a pain. Since GPS is pretty much never available, I've dropped the GPS receiver from the rack to make room for other stuff. One of the Windows machines runs an NTP server so at least everything displays the same time but without a proper reference clock, the time drifts and trying to do anything at perfect 1Hz intervals is not possible. So many cards or boxes on the market only rely on GPS or IRIG instead of just 10MHz or 1PPS so they are all worthless to me.
Wouldn't the EU allow for citizens to return from travel, regardless of whether it was an essential trip or not? The bans are essentially just entry visa restrictions that the airlines are enforcing. Finding a seat on a plane might be difficult because of reduced demand but essential people would still need to travel so there should be something available.
Not EU citizens, citizens of a specific country. If you're from Slovakia and there is no direct flight from the US, and the other EU countries ban entry from the US, it's at discretion of individual countries to let you through (or not).
