I don't have a problem with the driver not having commercial insurance. However, in that case the company needs to insure the driver when "on duty".
Well, Uber at least already does this.
Actually Uber does not do this. They cover the driver when he has a passenger, but not when he is on call. This is in fact one of the issues that has been raised, and several jurisdictions have been discussing regulations requiring the Uber cover the driver when on call.
What if the boss told him that he had to use these cheap thin bricks. He told his boss the bricks wouldn't work but the boss insisted that he use the inferior bricks. What then?
"I have forgotten the last 4 digits of my credit card number, can you give them to me".
"Hi, Paypal phone service person, I recently switched banks, and I think I might need to update my card info. I forget if I did this earlier --- can you tell me which card you've already got on file for me? Just the last four digits would be enough, thanks."
In an ideal universe: "Sir, if you tell me the last four digits of the card number, I can tell you if you updated it."
During the latter part of the cold war, some older search radars used by the US and Canada used vacuum tubes. Vacuum tubes were no longer manufactured in western countries and were only manufactured in Czechoslovakia which was part of the communist block at the time.
Most of the discussion so far seems to centre around if Facebook should be allowed to scan your messages. To me the more serious question is that according to the allegations, that Facebook will follow any links in your "private message" and if there is a Facebook like button, it will press it for you. Pages 14 and 15 of the complaint show an experiment where a private page (i.e. a page with no links into it)
with a Facebook like button was created and a link was sent, and the like button was generated by the private message.
So lets say you send an message to a friend with a link to an article that you seriously disagree with, with a message along the lines of "look at what these morons think", Facebook has just clicked "like" on that article on your behalf. That is far more of a problem than the scanning of the messages for advertising.
It's the same reason no stars. The camera exposure is set for daylight ( the moon surface in the foreground) the day side of the earth. The pictures of night earth including artificial lights require longer exposures.
I got the measles as a kid 2 years before the vacine was available. I lost 1/2 hearing as a result, mostly at high frequencies. 95 db loss at 3200 hz. I can stand right under a fire alarm and not hear it. In English, vowels are low freq, consonants high. This means I constantly confuse words like 'weather' and 'feather' unless I can lip read.
Growing up hard of hearing is not something I would wish on anyone. And you are am idiot to suggest it is just a matter of 'balls'
RCUK have thankfully acred to reverse this. To compete in university rankings in the UK you submit at most 4 papers from the past 5 years. No others count.
I don't think you have that right. In Canada when we submit grant proposals to NSERC we can only include at most 4 papers from the past 5 years as well, but that is the copies for the referees to read. Your CV that you submit lists all of your publications in the last 6 years, and the referees certainly look at those. From discussions with my colleagues in the UK, it is the same over there. You submit a few best papers for the referee to read, but your CV better have listed all of the papers in the review period or you are sunk.
My distance was off. I was thinking of the 125 mile shot that used two 12ft dishes. (http://www.davemoorecomputers.com/Wifi-Shootout-Archives/Website-05/index.html) The article mentions the Amazon drones. They are intended operate in a 10 mile radius. You aren't going to do that with wifi.
The articles describe a wifi hack.
Last I checked wifi has a range of 300 feet. There are some ways in which this can be extended
to several miles but that involves large (i.e. 10ft) antennas.
If you honestly think that law enforcement and amazon are using wifi to control their drones
then I think you need to look a bit closer.
that argument no longer holds water, now that we have the DNA testing and other advanced forensics that set those people free.
except that in some cases, such new evidence is not allowed. The courts have a set of procedures, and if the evidence comes to light after such procedures are followed, you are stuck. There was
a recent protest walk about access courts when further evidence is found.
I know this is only anecdotal evidence, but my 2.5 year old iPhone 4 has no problems charging, but my sisters 1.5 year old phone, which uses a micro USB does not charge unless the connector is in just right. It was fine when it is new, but now she has to fiddle with the connector and then prop it in the right orientation on the table to get it to keep charging. And we have replaced the cable several times. The socket on the phone has enough play in it, that it has to sit just right. Another friend has the same problem. A micro USB connector is a horrible connector for something that is going to be plugged in at least once a day.
In the video; the guy using the plastic strip to trick the device is holding the plastic strip over the same finger that can legitimately unlock the device.
I think you need to watch the video again. He registers his pointer finger and uses plastic strip on his middle finger.
Universities need to figure ways use fewer resources per student, so they can have more students and lower tuitions.
Suggestions? Or is this like the episode of ST:NG where Q has lost his powers and tells Jordi to just change the Gravitational Constant?
Are you thinking about the MOOCs in which on average less than 10% of students complete? How about equipment in Engineering programs? Perhaps we should still be teaching embedded systems with a 16bit microprocessor a 10MHz oscilloscope and a 1 GHz Windows XP box? I can tell you that would save a lot of money. Kind of sucks for the students though.
Drones require a robust communication channel between the control station and the drone. You don't have to break encryption, you just have to jam the communication. The US has been spoiled lately by fights in which the enemy does not have effective mobile EW forces.
Actually, it does happen here in Canada. It depends on the industry. It typically does not happen in Computer/Engineering internships, but in other areas such as publishing, social work, unpaid internships
are common. My sister is in such an internship (social worker), although it is clear that she is being trained and not replacing an existing worker for grunt work. She is rotated through the organization, acting as an assistant to multiple paid employees, staying with each one only until she has learned the issues involved with that position.

In my car, the headrest is narrow enough that the driver back window is visible and I use it for shoulder checking.

I very much think you will find it is these days.

My point is neither law enforcement or Amazon is going to use a drone that uses wifi at all.
And no one sane running a drone "program" would use normal wifi - they'd get a control frequency from the FCC and go that route.
That was my main point. The articles mention law enforcement and amazon. They are not going to control the drones with wifi.

It also glosses over what accessing the internet means. If I use a google maps with voice directions, I've accessed the internet.
