gridder··on Who makes the most reliable new cars?
It’s thanks to their culture and mentality. You cannot replicate that.

Goodbye MK! I wouldn’t have started reading again without your masterpieces, and I wouldn’t become so passionate about psychology neither. You won’t be forgotten.

gridder··on Apple introduces iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus – with satellite connectivity
I was hoping for a Mini Pro but they axed even the ‘normal’ mini. It’s sad but I understand that ‘smaller’ is harder and more expensive to produce with an even lower user base. Same story with the new Apple Watch Ultra 49mm.

Lufthansa is still flying the 747-400 with passengers today (and other 747 models).
gridder··on Mercedes and Ferrari’s edge in the electric car age: high-end axial motors
I hope you’re not biased since you work for Tesla’s autopilot BU. Anyway I’m no expert and I’m open to learn something. With pseudo-LiDAR do you mean photogrammetry? Following your input I may say the best approach could be then to integrate both image and LiDAR technologies to create the most trustable 3d scan. Since LiDAR measures space and distance, it can correct the other photography sensors which could be prone to some errors. I understand the cost side of scale manufacturing but you cannot cut cost in this case, the risk of fatal injuries it’s too big. Also I feel Elon decided ‘dogmatically’ to avoid LiDARs and that’s why this is the only road you are considering…
gridder··on Mercedes and Ferrari’s edge in the electric car age: high-end axial motors
- Tesla doesn’t offer LiDAR sensors, even if it’s clearly the best technology to use for the autopilot.

gridder··on Blue Zones, where people reach age 100 at 10 times greater rates
I don’t know about the other 4 locations, but regarding Sardinia, yes, it’s true. No frauds involved. It’s the climate, the food and the simple living style.

Napster chat was pretty neat as well. Pure nostalgia
gridder··on 20 years after 9/11: Will we ever stop taking our shoes off at airports?
And what about the stupid ban on liquids? This is even more nonsensical… Sure the airports shops are happy though. IIRC is related to a Heathrow 2006 attack…

gridder··on Tracking the WhatsApp habits of random smartphones
Hiding last seen is useless as the online status cannot be hidden. There are various apps that exploit this for money so you can stalk anybody…
gridder··on Tracking the WhatsApp habits of random smartphones
When you are online anyone can check it. There is no option to hide the online status. Using an easy script anyone can then spy and understand pretty much everything of a person, or a group. This is easy cyber stalking and dangerous. Especially because normal people do not understand this and think that hiding last seen is useful to avoid being stalked…
gridder··on Why cats won’t punish a stranger who harms you
The average cat is more of a threat than the average dog. It just won’t bite.

well i deleted mine in october 2019 and i’m in.....
gridder··on LG has decided to pull out of the smartphone business
They sell Beats? What? It’s like judging McDonalds from a vegan burger made by Beyond Meat. You should try a stereo paired homepods and then judge Apple sound quality..... Hint: it’s very good.

It does but a lot less. Go for it, it’s a great phone.
