No vehicle without a driver may exceed 60 miles per hour.
Is that an "instantaneous" rate? Or is it really a limit on the number of miles traversed in one hour? What if the vehicle goes in a circle? Are we talking gross miles or net?
It's one of the increasingly-many "features" I have to kill off in the Office suite. But, ideally, your application shouldn't be crashing when encountering malformed data. Realistically though the easier solution is to prevent the bad data from getting in. Why not replace any inserted data with an ASCII equivalent? Map common characters to sane characters, and replace anything not explicitly handled with a question mark, or simply remove it. Run this as a trigger on INSERT and UPDATE. As an added bonus, scold the user whenever it has to do a replacement. And as always, make sure your triggers handle multiple rows!
Remind me again - why the fuck do we need Unicode for a fucking apostrophe and why can't asshats accept the superior straight ' instead of the ugly angled "smart quote" style abominations?
The writing was on the wall when Windows Vista locked down the boot up sound. That was the first concrete indicator to an average user that their objective in the consumer OS space had shifted from "product and service" to "brand and platform".
Usage guides? LOL! Usage guides, from Chicago to MLA to whateverthefuckelse you want to trot out, are basically the "How to Shit on Grammar and Act Professional Doing It" playbook. You'll notice that even their title is incorrect and inconsistent! It should be "Professionally", there should be a "While" before "Doing", and "It" is on the list of words to not capitalize in a title, but since it's at the end of the title, you have to process exception directive 843C.4.
Their recommendations change with the tides, the wind, and the status of that cat in that box. Their rules are inconsistent and lead to confusion and ambiguity. Further, your three supporting links are jokes! Are they really the best you could come up with after you got called out for being dead wrong by the AC? Amazing!
You're a dumbass. An amount is an amount, not whatever you think it is. It's perfectly acceptable to refer to a number (discrete quantity) as an amount.
That's an awful primary solution. I don't want to wait 10 mins for a car, I want one in my driveway.
You won't wait 10 minutes. This is a trivial problem in queuing theory. You have an algorithm to predict demand, and you preemptively dispatch cars to meet that demand. So when you walk out of the mall, the next car will pull up a few seconds after you request it. If demand is under predicted, you may wait a few more seconds, but not 10 minutes. If demand is over-predicted, you just have a few cars loop back to the staging lot.
Same thing with commuting from neighborhoods: The car companies will know the approximate number of cars needed for each neighborhood, and when they will be needed. So cars will arrive on your street just in time for you to summon one to your driveway. The company with the best prediction algorithm will have the highest vehicle utilization rate and the highest profits.
It's not a "trivial problem". It has very little to do with "queuing theory" (which isn't an actual theory, nor is it a legitimate field of study; at best, "queuing theory" is a loose application of math in a business/logistics environment). And you don't just "have an algorithm to predict demand", you have to actually model demand and develop that algorithm and adjust it constantly, taking into account everything from weather to the PTA meeting schedule.
It's a very complicated problem that you're oversimplifying, and even as someone who's never used Uber or similar services, I can still fucking tell you your "You won't wait 10 minutes." claim is a joke and a half.
Your trivial example of Ubers waiting at malls works because malls have a high density of people wanting to get into a car at any given moment. Your idea of pre-sending the correct number of Uber drivers out to residential streets in the hopes that they'll be called up is absurd. Taxis don't patrol residential streets, nor do airport shuttles, rickshaws, or buses. It's not efficient. It's not profitable. When going from low density to high density the rider must schedule a pick up time in advance, and unless you're close to a major destination and you're calling in at a busy time, it'll often be more than 10 minutes in advance.
It means they coerced a couple of prostitutes to agree to say that they were forced into it, thus letting them trump up the charges on the men. They let the prostitute get free room and board at a halfway house, get them a social worker, or maybe just look the other way on the prostitution and drug charges they could easily throw at them. Prosecutors are all about having bigger fish to fry, real or imagined.
Well, they *are* vulnerable, because they operate outside the law and can be exploited by criminals You don't think that a prostitute you've paid $300 gets to keep that money? Almost all of that goes to the pimp.
Freelancing women are targets for beatings by pimps because they threaten the pimp's income. And what are they supposed to do, go to the cops and say "This guy is trying to steal my prostitution business?"
Once a prostitute is in the clutches of a pimp, she's not free to leave to business either. Even if she wants to move to a different city, if the pimp keeps her in place by threats to her friends and family.
And not every prostitute is a prostitute by choice. There are runaways who fall into a pimp's control; rural foreigners who are tricked into thinking they're immigrating to the US for a high-paying (by their standards) domestic service job.
Understand I have no issues with prostitution per se, but I have a big problem with slavery, and in any system where prostitutes operate outside the protection of the law it's a given that most of them are de facto slaves.
Bullshit. Prostitutes with management (pimps, madames, whatever) get more money and are safer to boot. Further, the idea that sex slavery is some sort of pandemic is a myth. The vast, vast, majority of prostitutes are willing participants. Foreigners brought to the country specifically to be prostitutes typically do so with the backing and support of their families in the home country, whom they are sending money to.
You've bought in to the narrative whole hog. Go look up the actual stats.
They have not fixed it, and the developer says he won't. He gave some excuse about not being able to tell what the target of the drop point was until the extraction was done. I believe it was bullshit in 2010, and it's almost certainly bullshit now.
Summary: The car has an autonomous feature that can't see a large obstacle directly in front of it.
It doesn't matter how the feature is activated, or if the douche who owns the car activated the feature intentionally or not, or if the douche who owns the car parked it on the wrong side of the street.
The autonomous mode should never result in driving into a large obstacle directly in front of the car.

The Titan X was still marketed heavily toward gamers. Nvidia aren't stupid. They sold buttloads of them. Then they trotted out the 980 Ti and people who bought the Titan X were pissed. Many of them ended up buying the 980 Ti however (or two to SLI). Nvidia knows their customers, and many of their customers are suckers.
Considering how the 980 Ti performs at 4K vs 1080p, I'm not surprised they didn't show anything at 4K. The 1080 and AMD's Polaris are not the 4K parts you're waiting for.
For games the Titan X is (slightly) faster than a reference 980 Ti. There aren't many reference 980 Tis out there. Most are in the $600-$700 range and are factory overclocked with non-reference coolers on them.
Wait for reviews. Based on the chart they showed, I predict that the 1080 GTX is only 15-20% better than a typical non-reference 980 Ti in the $600-$700 range. If you have a 980 Ti with high clocks you should just wait for the presumed 1080 Ti / Titan Whatever and AMD's Vega.
Assuming their "A NEW KING" graph isn't a lie, it's $600-$700 for 1.7x the performance of a single 980. This also jives with their claim about it being faster than 2 980s in SLI.
The graph is missing the 980 Ti though, which is what people paying $600-$700 for a GPU will be comparing it to. I can understand not including the 980 Ti since we're talking about the 1080 and not a 1080 Ti. But they went ahead and included the Titan X. That's some major bullshit - the Titan X is an expensive piece of shit compared to the 980 Ti. A reference 980 Ti is nearly identical in performance to a Titan X at $400-$500 cheaper. A non-reference 980 Ti will easily beat a Titan X and still save you $200-$300. (The Titan X is only available with the reference cooler.) The non-reference 980 Ti is also at the same $600-$700 price of the GTX 1080 (MSRP).
My guess based on their chart (using the Titan X as a baseline) is that the 1080 is about 30% faster than a reference 980 Ti and 15-20% faster than any of the dozens of non-reference designs out there now priced around $600-$700. (There are dozens more non-reference 980 Ti models priced higher and higher than that, if you've got money to burn.)
Anyone on a current generation card really should wait for the presumed 1080 Ti and AMD's Vega.

In English we have lists of known words, and style guides. There aren't any rules
I can tell that you really believe that. That's depressing. Languages and grammars have rules. Obey them, plox.
