Yes, came to post this. I'd say a requirement of a "car" is that it is propelled solely through torquing the wheels. This is effectively a (steerable?) rocket sled.
The constitution says that congress may establish a system of patents in order "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts". If it is found that current legislation does not promote the progress of science & the useful arts, then there very well could be constitutional grounds to abolish or severely gut it.
If you move out of the city center, your cost of housing will almost certainly drop, hopefully by enough to easily afford owning a cheap car. Credit cards can help the shift. It's amazing what one or two hundred dollars extra a month can get you if you don't have much.
Do not put up with living in a steady-state situation that you do not enjoy; that sort of thing should only be a transitional part of a longer plan.
Here in Phoenix, most houses are surrounded with concrete block walls. They're great for privacy as well as sound deflection. They're usually 5-7 feet tall, and make life very pleasant.
This is my coding font: screenshot It's a 4pt display of TFA's font, which almost the same but slightly clearer at that size than Liberation Mono, which I was using before.
It sometimes involves a bit of pixel hunting with digits before you get used to it, but I now use it for my standard daily coding environment. I like fitting EVERYTHING onscreen at once.
Bitmap fonts have a sweet spot around 6x8 to 8x12, where their clarity and precision can definitely be more readable and pleasing than vector fonts.
But once you get into smaller sizes, pixel fonts have to do weird things to their shapes (like the 4x6 windows bitmap font), whereas antialiasing and subpixel rendering can actually express more shape per pixel for greater readable density. And for larger fonts, curves sweep over many more pixels and it starts to look jaggy without handling vectors.
This actually looks a bit better than my preferred font, Liberation Mono, at 4pt size. In particular, zero vs eight and parens/brackets/braces are more distinguishable.
You can never tell which fonts will still be legible in small sizes just by looking at the macro-sized versions.
They're staffed by the instructors and their assistants, and in my experience give quick and quality spoiler-free guidance and answers. The nice thing about a forum is that you're not getting off-the-cuff responses from one random assistant; they've got a chance to run it around the room and up the chain to give a better formed response than if you were to sit down with them one-on-one.
And yes, it does scale. Any question that I desired to ask was already asked in the forums, with great answers and discussion around it, even sometimes ending up in new errata added to the video. By keeping this "interaction" persistent, it coalesces a ton of human redundancy out of the learning pipeline, effectively broadcasting the most effective parts of the interactions in a similar fashion as the videos, from a very conversational and relatable perspective.
To pull out my standard Slashdot Car Analogy(tm), it's like a mechanic who knew nothing about cars before deciding that fixing cars looked like a stable career and went to trade school but doesn't tinker on his own vehicles because "that's work", vs somebody who's been under the hood of a cars since they were 13.
Sure, those who enter the field later in life might be great at it, but your average worker in that position won't hold a candle to the one who was self-taught through driven interest, especially if they then went on to formal education in the field.

I'm going to be technical on this and say your and others' replies to the GP do not mention food riots at all. Yes, suffering was bad, people were in horrible circumstances, but these tales of struggling through those times don't seem to contradict his claim of actual physical food riots being rare.
While I'm sure brains can be useful in gaining wealth, I don't think they are necessary. Inherited wealth, for instance, doesn't require a brain at all
In gaining wealth, persistence & perseverance seem to be the biggest prerequisites, moreso than intellect.
But once you have wealth, if you don't have much of a brain it's very easy to lose it all.
Having given him the benefit of the doubt and taken 2 online classes by him, I'll concur that Thrun undoubtedly knows his stuff, but really is not good at teaching.
Other classes like Ng's Machine Learning and Roughgarden's Algorithms classes (both through Coursera) have been phenomenal. Coursera's infrastructure is a lot more pleasant for me to use than Udacity's as well.
OK, maybe shell programming is not something that will get the attention of a 7-year-old. There are a ton of child-specific programming platforms that might be the ticket.
We were less than 7 years old and had nothing but a "READY." prompt and a manual to go from, and squeezed every bit of learning and authoring we could out of it.
Don't dumb things down for a kid, especially when they're already showing interest in it. They recognize the real deal (which naturally comes from their interest), and will know when you're not giving that to them. That sort of patronizing is very discouraging to kids, especially around that age. Their curiosity and relentlessness will take them far if you don't clip their wings.
However, if you're talking about a kid who isn't showing interest on their own, and you want to teach them something, then simplifications could be in order.
Anyway, the reason we don't have cars with 55 mpg is merely because they aren't sold here. Not because of physics.
The US also has some of the strictest emissions & safety standards, combined with the most mobile populace traveling at most likely higher average speed than the rest of the world. So we end up with high horsepower vehicles armored against SUV and pickup collisions with 1-foot thick doors, high beltlines, and 85 airbags. They're less efficient to shove around the roads; to what extent I can't say though.
Little city cars aren't great for intermittently clogged freeway commutes, with their inability to get up to speed quickly. (Sure, you don't need 600 horsepower to do that, but 50 doesn't cut it either.)
Do you just dump the audio archives somewhere for hypothetical later retrieval (which isn't really "minutes"), or is somebody tasked with creating the actual minutes from the recordings after the meeting? Having a person writing up the minutes as the meeting progresses is generally a better idea in my experience. Then it's just normal document editing.
I'm old and crotchety and can't stand that sort of whining either, but I think it's less "I want it now" and more to do with what publishers can get away for their boxed releases. I think the gaming audience does have some legitimate complaints about this sort of stuff.

Any policy released before an election is just a marketing document, not an actual policy intended to be followed.

Non-coders shouldn't write production code, the headline should be.
I agree with what you're saying, but the morons in TFS are actually talking about putting that beginner code into production!
Not only that, but there are ambiguities regarding the Cathy codec's ACK.

The RPi *is* a cheap open Linux box, loaded with a real OS and made of real parts for the current mobile era.

Even better, release the first half for free and do like the classic shareware model (without the sharing, I guess).
