Wow. Jumped on the ole "throw some shade at Uber" train, did we? Dealers in the US sell cars that are under recall all the time and are not required to tell the buyer.
Strip it and take out the ooey gooey copper center. That is the only thing of value. Unless you want to put BNC connectors on it and run a daisy chain network (/s).
Why don't they just forgo all the niceties and security theater? Just hire proctologists to replace the TSA staff. Think of the early colon cancer detection rates.
Venture Capital investing is faith based. (no, not religious) There are many factors that can come into play when you're giving your money to someone and hoping for a ROI. I highly doubt that the sex of the person seeking the capital is one of them. Good ideas are not enough. A plan for execution is more important than the idea itself and VC investors know that. Because no two ventures are the same, there is no baseline from which to jump to the conclusion that the study suggests. Maybe the options where women were involved had a weak plan or a half-baked one. The fact that this study was looking at sex as a factor speaks to the SJW leanings of the study itself more than actual facts that investors care about. Why is this even on/.?
Has been happening to me for years. Google refuses to do anything. I once got a copy of a girl's college application that included her social security number. Even then they refused to even acknowledge my complaint. Perhaps it is time for a class action suit against Google.
Agree. I won't pay for a theater ticket unless there is a Kirk, Spock, Janeway (I can hope, right?), or Picard. The most recent installment of the "Jedi" part was so disappointing that I will wait for the Blu-Ray and watch from my comfy couch.
It is more than 100 miles to the nearest IMAX for me. Thanks, but I'll just wait for it to come out on Blu-Ray. This Luddite garbage coming from Hollywood is laughable at best. They LOVE them some technology until they don't.
Remember that awesome support you were getting along with your stable product? We laid off half our staff and didn't tell any customers leading to poorly maintained code and outsourced support techs who could barely speak English and had little to no training. Enjoy!
The ultimate form of "vertical integration" but by force. Reminds me of Homer's "Compu-Global-Hyper-Mega-Net". Gates say to BUY HIM OUT BOYS and then says "You don't think I got this rich writing a bunch of checks" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H27rfr59RiE
"Routes are precalculated and the real time data coming from on board sensors shouldn't have to go over the net for it to operate. Data coming from other vehicles doesn't need to go over the net immediately as the relevant cars are within wifi range." -- This is 100% correct. They simply cannot make a self driving automobile in the US that would depend on on the internet for navigation as there are way too many internet and cellular dead zones. Maybe when they invest those USF funds and those state subsidies into last mile projects they have been promising for years, then there might be a case to be made for this.
If we're lucky, we end up with droid speak (think R2D2). Given the ethics of those deploying AI, I think we'll more likely end up with a whole bunch of HALs. I keep thinking back to Aasimov's laws of robotics and wondering if there is any way this can turn out OK.

Boaty McBoatface and Trainy McTrainface disagree.

Upside is, if you're an Apple device owner, your stuff is already shitty.
So, I think /. needs to add two new mod point categories.
1: Idiot
2: Canadian
I'll give it a shot. Haven't been all that impressed with the latest Ubuntu, have forsaken RedHat, and quit Mandrake after they rebranded to Mandriva.
I wonder if this covers legacy OSes. I have Windows ME and Vista disks laying around here somewhere.

LOL. Bacon!
As long as it remains "will let" and does not transition to "will require", I have no problem with this.
Seems like they just CNNed themselves. Bwahahaha!

Get a VPN. You can get a year for about the price of 2 months of HBO.
Hogwash! It takes about 30 seconds to find a torrent. This site is for nerds. Perhaps you should think about wandering back on over to Facebook.

Rest in Peace if you can, George.
I'm less "anti-profit" than I am "pro-pay-your-artists" or "anti-copyright-troll".
