But my dumb TV already does everything I need. And it isn't broken and isn't obsolete. It will probably last 10 years.
Now we're seeing the advantages of profit for smart TVs that break frequently, become obsolete as firmware updates cease, or are replaced when their services stop working.
That's right. he should give all his money to every man, woman, and child in the US. Cut us a one time check for $460, and it will surely change our lives.
Their GDP growth rate is slower than the US's. But Norway has a larger middle class than the US (lower wealth inequality). I think the article would be more interesting if Norway and Sweden were compared, because Sweden has the second worst wealth inequality by some metrics (the US is the first). And regionally, culturally, and economically Sweden is more similar to Norway than the US or UK.
if your population rate grows through combination of a high birth rate, high life expectancy, or immigration. Then either your standard of living must decrease, or your GDP must increase. I believe Norway's new generation are benefiting from egalitarianism and high tax rate of Nordic socialism. Norway's population rate is increasing by about 1%, while the U.S. is 0.81% (source). What is extremely interesting is that the GDP growth rate for the US is better (2.20%) than Norway (1.40%). What I left out in my second sentence is that the final factor is if your society suffers from a growing wealth gap. It should be obvious now that millennials are suffering in the US because they have high costs compared to income than previous generations. Costs for housing and student loans, as well as lower wages conspire to reduce the standard of living for the new generation.
So people only get their news from a select short list of news sites social media approves of.
Ideally you should get your news from vetted sources. How you determine what has been vetted is complicated because clearly you cannot trust an authority like the government to tell the whole truth all the time. Each person should be responsible to double-confirm information, and be prepared to change their own position as stories get debunked.
At least that's how a rational person would operate. An irrational one would attach themselves to a particular ideology (left, right, up, down, in, out). And once they have made decisions based on faulty information they will shut down any further discussion contrary to their position. A life of perpetual cognitive dissonance is a stressful and unhappy way to live.
The value of an article should be one of transparency, references, and citations. If a journalist shows me something and cites their sources, that's pretty compelling (hopefully I bother to follow those sources). Unfortunately many news articles are conjecture, hearsay, or outright misinformation. Probably because that's what gets clicks, and people would much rather hear stories that confirm their own beliefs than discuss dry boring facts.
I suspect 10 years from now dumb TVs won't be generally available, and the industry will have fully transitioned to bundling the features of a set-top box into the TV itself.
But I don't think anyone wants to start at about 16 MBit/s for decent quality video, and 40 MBit/s for typical "high-def" video. (UHD and 4K would be beyond that)
So theoretically it's public information. IANAL but it seems legal.
I don't think the laws have really caught up with technology, as it is now possible to infer private information through careful collection of public data.
Also your average person doesn't give a shit about personal privacy, and will continue to shop at malls that do this. As long as we behave like we're OK with it, it will continue to occur.
Even the city of Cupertino has their own flag. This does not mean Cupertino is not part of California, nor does California's flag mean it is not part of the US. (I'm sure California's contributions to GDP and federal taxes are appreciate, even if their politics are not welcomed)
Taiwan can have a flag, and China can claim that Taiwan is part of them. The two positions are no worse than the usual double-think that goes on in the Communist Party of China (CPC). It's kind of sad that freedom-loving American companies have a love for money that overrides principle.
Office workers in the 19th and most of the 20th century sat in a large room at a desk without walls. And it was managers who got their own office. If you were senior but not a manager you would share an office. Even then employees complains when coworkers chatted near their desk too frequently.
A lot of autonomous cars are (famously) getting tested outside of Detroit, precisely because the winter roads are so challenging. And the cars really have trouble in the non-winter months because there are so many pot holes and the lines have been scraped off by plows and eroded by salt. There are already plans in place to disable self-driving under certain conditions, and on certain roads (GPS), this is especially true of Level 4 and 5 autonomous systems. They will not be driving up to your town at all. You've likely already seen Level 2 and 3 in your area, as they are not fully autonomous and likely the human driver was in control at the time.
I don't think we can fault businesses for going for the biggest bang-for-the-buck. If you think you can do better maybe start your own AV business?
I've got chains for front and rear on my 4WD so I don't get stranded at my Tahoe cabin for a season. The snowfall there would destroy my truck with the snow load. (I can hike out in about 8-10 hours)
Therefore, why shouldn't these cars be tested up here?
Because it's only 30,000 people? And the problem is fairly difficult to solve.
I grew up in a town of 4,000 people, much smaller than yours. But our house was only 15 minutes away and a fairly boring drive (a bit harrowing in the winter though, daily thaws with nightly refreeze turns the roads into spotty sheets of wet ice). My area is more rural farmland rather than rough terrain. The roads are paved and well marked so it seems more likely that my little town gets AV than yours. I hope that autonomous cars come around soon so my elderly parents won't have to drive themselves anymore. Mainly AVs need some good cameras to the sides to spot deer. That said even a human driver is in peril when it's dark or foggy and there are deer near the road.
The article is not really biased, it's reporting on the current state of affairs. The investment effort in AV is in multiple areas. In the media the popular topic is in solving the commute problem for travel between suburbs to big cities. But also important is the short haul and long haul trucking industry, which are two distinct problems for AV.
It depends if the driverless car industry will be ran by morons like the ridesharing scooter industry. Theoretically it's a sound idea, if ran properly. But in this startup frenzy mode people get obsessed with scaling up before they even have a reliable customer base. As if leaving a massive pile of scooters translates into staking a claim on the biggest share of a new market.
I predict a lot of this stuff will fail the first few times until someone who is good with operations and logistics and has more time and is under less pressure to burn investment capital.
Now that technology is available to quickly access millions upon millions of database items there is not much need to have an implicit copyright system. An explicit copyright registration system that charges a fee, not unlike Internet domains, is feasible. With that registration it is then easy to reference what is copyrighted and then infer what is not copyrighted with some reasonable assurance.
On top of that, if we were to completely revamp our copyright laws internationally we should really considered an appropriate shorter duration for copyright. Should you have a monopoly on your own creation in order to support yourself? I don't see why not. But that does not mean creating something that you leave to your great grandchildren as an income source. It is kind of how we ended up with the gilded age and how a lot of "old money" families were built, I think few of us want to return to that era. If you create something, a story, a software library, a film, you never really created it from whole cloth. You were influenced and inspired by the culture and art in your own lifetime.
As most of them on Amazon have free "auto-rip". So I effectively get both an digital copy and physical copy. Often the CDs are no more expensive, and once in a while they are cheaper than the digital album.
I wonder if the net scrap value is a positive number. Once you've disassembled all the security screws to pull the batteries and electronics out. Then try to get the plastic off the metal, and the copper wire off the motor, are you really going to be ahead?
I'm a bit worried that these rideshare scooters are going to be stacked up in the dump once these startups go under. And that is more likely to occur than you think, because someone like Uber might buy them up only to shut them down. There is almost no enforcement of anti-competitive behavior in this industry (or in Silicon Valley in general), if there were the taxis would have shut Uber down long ago.

Hi Kids! Today's legal term is: Fraudulent misrepresentation.
because the stamp was not sold for the picture but a SERVICE
Some of the stamps the USPS has made are promotional designs for collectors. Ultimately the USPS is operating a side business of selling images.
We also don't what what liberty looks like either.

Sure, but isn't your situation an outlier, like a fraction of a percent of what is typical for the rest of us?
I need a car about 4 times a day. so I bought a used one.
