Bezos owns the Washing Post, thus his home in DC. As for NYC, you can't compare it with living anywhere else. That's why he has homes there, and that's why he wanted to open HQ's there. If you think it's just a coincidence... then good for you.:)
Just thought I'd plug this website. Best cable tv replacement I've found. And it's free. Every channel you need. Couple this with a free OTA tv tuner for local news, Amazon, Netflix or Apple TV and you're set.
"Henry Harteveldt, founder of the travel consultancy Atmosphere Research Group, said some airlines are choosing to risk outages that might cost them $20 million to $40 million rather than invest, for example, $100 million on technology upgrades. He believes investors and the general public will apply increasing pressure on airlines to avoid outages at any cost."
How much did this cost Delta? Both directly and indirectly.
How much will preventing this single point of failure cost?
"but they had failed to take into account a number of factors (the most notable being the change in performance characteristics when exposed to cold temperatures), leading to the last-minute warnings as they realized the potential for disaster."
Bzzt wrong. The managers took the cold temps into account, and ignored the pleas of their engineers to delay the launch because previous damage sustained from temps that were not even as extreme on that day.
Can you cite where these records are that will show how grassy fields that have become urbanized with concrete and asphalt affect temperature readings over a 200 year period?
Interesting podcast with Joe Rogan discussing this topic with Randall Carlson. Sounds a lot like winter is coming Game of Thrones style!
I forgot to mention that the only true solution is a kill switch like they have on motorcycles that is not controlled by firmware. In fact in the Motorcycle Safety Foundation course I took, they teach you to only turn off the bike using the switch so that it becomes second nature should you ever end up in an emergency.
Increasingly, newer cars do not come with gear shifts. For instance our Mercedes S550 only has a control stalk to change gears. It's no different than pushing a button. If there were a similar firmware problem, there is nothing you could do in the car. Even the ignition is keyless.
What you think is obvious is actually useless. And too many smug people don't even realize that.
No government regulation needed. Just make the original owners responsible for all accidents. If criminal negligence is involved, then they go straight to jail. Let no amount of insurance protect them.
It's not as bad as you think. I spent about $100 to $110 a month with ATT before switching to Ting. (heard about it via Joe Rogan podcast)
Bought a new Sprint Iphone 5 for $500 hundred dollars from eBay. Sprint SIM card from Best Buy for $20. (got another one free from a Sprint store after telling them I was picking one up for my friend with Sprint service.) Switched service over to Ting. Now my bill is like $50. NO CONTRACT and you only get billed for what you use! I would have saved $400 alone last year for 4 months because I was travelling abroad.

Here's to hoping that the mayor of Vegas isn't hindering Tesla's contract to give it to one of his buddies instead.

Then they should have switched. The cost of switching was probably a fraction of the direct and indirect costs of what happened.
I suppose you can liken it to taking a girls virginity. :)

There is risk, and then there is stupidity/negligent manslaughter. Thiokol management should have been put in prison and ruined.
And if that something were encrypted, the world would have never known of her.

Yes, the market is looking a bit frothy. Locally here in NYC, assets such as real estate are looking pretty high...
I would love one the size of a 4s. Is there a petition out there to support this sentiment?
BAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
It's because of posts like these, I continue to read slashdot. Thank you.
I couldn't watch the first episode. Quit maybe 10 minutes into it. Does anyone here actually enjoy the show and think it's any good?
What if he fantasized this way about the president?

What happens when we get to the point of open source plans for a thermo nuclear device that can be built with such a machine?
