I'm sure there are plenty of sick passengers that are not heading to the hospital that pose similar risks. If I were an uber driver I would want some kind of policy from uber to cover my ass. eg.
If the passenger asks to be transported to the ER the driver should
1) ask the passenger if he needs to go to the ER for treatment or if it is some other reason (presumably doctors commute too)
2) press some kind of button in the app that will get priority service for any other passengers (in the car or upcoming scheduled) and then drop them off immediately citing the terms of service blah blah blah...
3) The app will tell them the route to take to the nearest ER, the driver will do his best to stick to it
4) The uber driver will get advice and procedures on how to handle any "spills"
5) Uber could step up and provide some payment for any hours spent cleaning up, maybe recover that from the passenger. I'm sure it would not be the first time someone puked in an uber
It doesn't exactly remove all the risk, but if it was done well it would provide some cover for the driver and should give some reasonable guidance
It seems to me that there are plenty of fine motor skills involved in using tech, maybe we should adapt handwriting technique to embrace those skills. It's not like controlling a pencil has just one aspect to it.
For all I know the conventional pencil grasp between the thumb and first two fingertips is degraded but the ability to control the pencil when it is sandwiched between the first two fingers is improved.
Or what about non-dominant hand writing, maybe tech has improved the spread of motor skills between dominant and non-dominant hand. I don't notice myself typing right-handedly.
I'd like to see a gun control campaign I could get behind. One that would have the right balance of control and permissibity (I would not want to take away manual bolt action rifles or shotguns or any other weapon that is primarily designed for sport or reasonable self protection, and yes reasonable could well be location dependent) but that will be effective in getting mass-people-killing weapons out of the hands of people on the street (they can shoot them at ranges for all I care). I think it would take a well targeted campaign to be effective and I haven't seen any campaign that gets it right just yet, though the kids in Florida are doing a good job.
It's cheap and easy to pump the idea that you're not safe (or free) unless you can kill a human target with 50+ rounds per minute of war-proven ammo at 500 yards. While it would be nice to think a politician could earn votes by improving peoples lives rather than stoking fears this has proven to be too hard for them for many years, so some external organization needs to come in to lower the barrier. To make "human slaughter weapons" somehow uncool to be seen with.
The difference seems clear to me, but finding the right words is hard (eg. the nonsensical pedantry over the term "assault rifle"). So maybe step one is giving the problem a name.
Somehow we need to make it clear that guns with certain characteristics have no place outside the range and to get past the "thin end of the wedge" arguments. After thousands of years of practicing rhetoric you would think some human would be able to articulate what's needed
To my mind out and out presenting faked footage is like doping in sport, it's cheating.
The news is fake in part because we like it that way. Sure we know that the person on screen is lying and misleading but it's part of the entertainment. When it's done well we can admire how people onscreen are able to misrepresent reality better than we could. For example I respect Kelly Conway's skills (especially compared to Sarah Sanders' amateurish attempts) and that would be a lost art if the alternative were to simply cut to one of David Daleiden's videos
Mumbai and Pune are 161km apart. A regular euro style high speed train could make it in half an hour.
It would mean upgrading the track, adding electrification and controlling how the track is accessed / crossed, but it seems cheaper than building and maintaining an evacuated tube and the regular train could carry far more people and goods.
My Niece is studying to become a makeup artist. She will study for 2 years. But she is 16, so these form the last 2 years of her mandatory High school education. She is not just studying makeup, she also has to meet the usual high school graduation requirements in math and english etc.
Ah yes - the laws don't work because someone might break them argument. Laws work because most people don't break them and because people that do break them face sanctions (even in New Hampshire). If you run a beauty shop you are just as much on the hook for seeing that things are run safely as any of the individual practitioners you hire. How do you hire someone that can be objectively trusted you ask. Well...
I think there's a third category. People who see something, know it to be incorrect and forward it anyway in the hope it will boost their standing with their friends or maybe in the hope it will catch on. eg. I've seen printed handbills stating that the election day was different for a certain class of voters, and I get endless amounts of claptrap from some of my friends.
I'm pretty sure they see the bias and falsehoods in it (or at least would acknowledge them when they are pointed out), they see it as either harmless fun or perhaps helping to sharpen their tribal definition.
I'd like to see more medical exoskeletons. I could see them getting some people out of wheelchairs and enabling all sorts of mobility. They may not even all need power, just provide support to help people maintain position.
Every company claims to be a loan company. If they bill, they claim they are loaning you the money until the bill is paid (That's what it means when it says that currency is legal tender for paying all debts public and private, you order a steak at a restaurant, you took out a loan)
Just because the government has this information it does not mean that no-one else has a database on you. Numerous organizations collect and trade all sorts of info and link it based on just a few identifiers which for some mystical reason they all assume are secrets know only to the holder.

if you're an astrologer can't you foretell what harm will come ?
boilermaker might be more fun

yes - that's what keeps gang members from shooting each other.
isn't that the one between the spacebar and the windows key ?

Fill the SD card with random numbers and xor the photo data on top of it. Keep a little space aside for keeping track of the directory content.
Should we really be basing our opinions on something we learned from the Colbert Report ?
Wait, he violated a statue ? kinky...
What did they say that they knew not to be true ?
I don't think it much matters if fealty to the party is above everything else, whichever party controls all branches can ignore checks and balances.
is the Sahara already salty, will dousing it with salt water rule out better options later ?
That's when they tell you there will be a 30 minute delay. I think its part of the stringing along / breaking it gently process.
I have to wonder how many more cars would sell if it were a pleasant experience to buy one
The lack of a textbook is intentional, to instill a general hatred for documenting any code. All the explanation they will need is in the comments.
Where can I go to find them all collected together, I'd quite like a binge read of fake news. Get a feel for what was said...
