Right, because people that live in states with stand your ground laws are going around dragging innocent people into their homes to shoot them dead.
Nope, for the most part they're just shooting their family and friends. The average gun owner is 2.7x more likely to kill theirself or a family member than to hurt any else (including criminals and bystanders).
If they were to open source Windows, Windows would no longer be their exclusive leverage to push their other products. It will therefore never happen, unless maybe Windows falls below 10% desktop/laptop market share. Windows Phone, maybe, but unlikely.
Social security and medicare are paid into by workers separately from the general budget (and social security is only paid out to workers who've paid in). They're self-funding, so it's disingenuous to lump them in with the general federal budget.
These are not paid links. whipslash has even edited out forbes links from past summaries after noticing the comment complaints. The explanation is simple: lazy editors who don't look at what they're publishing.
The new owners have already edited some past summaries to change the forbes links to less offensive links. Unfortunately they haven't automated the blocking of forbes yet and they're continuing the slashdot tradition of "editors" not reading what they publish before they publish it.
The more desperate people are, the more destroyed their cities are, the more atrocities happen, the more they're going to support extremists. Wouldn't you? Islamic State was the only group brutal enough to take firm control of the anarchy and provide actual services to the people. There's a reason why brutal terrorist regimes gain their footholds in places of anarchy like Afghanistan, Somalia, Libya, Iraq and Syria -- brutality becomes a way of life, only the most brutal can brutal can bring things under control, and any form of order starts to look better to the people than living in constant chaos.
It's remarkably difficult to hire skilled workers to move to a strategic location in a civil war which has already previously been taken by a group known for beheading or enslaving their captives, and could be retaken by them at any time.
Everyone knew the world was round, if you live near an ocean it's very hard not to notice. Columbus just thought it was half as big around as everybody else did, so they predicted he'd starve before he reached India.
If they were able to get people to stand sill in the middle of the smoke and not evacuate because the robot wasn't moving, then that'd be an interesting result showing unintelligent behavior. Following the robot, on the other hand, was the intelligent decision -- these people had every reason to presume that the robot had reasons, such as the way they came in being now blocked off or way the authority robot was going being a shortcut.
Option 1: Fire a cheap missile westward a few hundred miles to hit any part of North Korea. Option 2: Build ICBMs so you can fire a missile eastward 24,000 miles to circle the entire planet and hit North Korea from the west.
If North Korea were smarter, they'd threaten to surrender and allow annexation by South Korea. They could demand billionsin bribes in exchange for taking that threat of economic devastation off the table.
There are already automated public transit systems, like the Vancouver SkyTrain. People are willing to take their chances of having their heads hacked off, which could also happen walking down the street.
The autonomous car isn't going to make traffic, construction, nor other idiot drivers magically disappear, so I'd say this is a hopeful but doubtful claim.
It'll make them the same as if you're a passenger in a car someone else is driving. Personally, I don't really care about any of those things if someone else is driving -- they only stress me if I'm the one driving.
Except that these are the people that almost always have someone ELSE drive them places (loved, ones, friends, taxis...), requiring pickups.
Calling paratransit (or a relative) to schedule a pickup requires a lot of planning ahead. People naturally travel less if they have to plan ahead.
You might also make the argument that you could read or watch TV or do work on a computer while the car is driving itself. To that argument, I counter with two words: "motion sickness".
They're selling a lot of vehicles with built-in TVs to keep the kids quiet in the back seat already, so apparently motion sickness isn't an issue for a lot of people.
"For X to work, need to install these 15 libraries, some of which have to be compiled from source or installed from custom repositories that have to be identified and configured first" (CentOS).
I ran into those issues when I started with linux 15 years ago, but soon realized it stems from a different way of deciding what to install. In Windows, you search the internet and find a specific program and then figure out how to install that. If you do that in Linux you can end up with some very painful complicated install processes. What you should do in Linux is instead search your repositories for the function you want fulfilled and install whatever it recommends. The only things I've installed from outside the repositories are Chrome and Skype, and I haven't had any problem finding the tools I need.
They're serious about following the law because they think they'll be caught if they don't. If you remove the enforcement -- and enforcement is what safety certifications are for -- then they'll cheat a lot more.
Telling even with over the top cheerleading of TFA "The Internet of Things (IoT) is definitely the next step toward technological advancement" they chose to mention an Internet connected fridge and "smart shoes".
Smart shoes are likely to thrive as a niche. Runners already pay hundreds of dollars for shoes and can see obvious conveniences to smart shoes, so why not?Most of us will never be wearing smart shoes, but that doesn't mean it won't be a billion dollar industry.
Show me the law, ordnance, or other document of equal or greater weight (like the Constitution) that states this fact.
There's the declaration of independence, which states that "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" are inalienable rights. Food and healthcare are required for life, you will die without them. Shelter is required for liberty (else you're always an illegal vagrant being kicked out of places).
Choosing to live in a high cost metropolitan area is a life choice.
Forcibly taking people away from their families and friends and resettling them in an unfamiliar place is a violation of human rights. Personally I would never choose to live in a high cost metro, but I couldn't tell someone whose roots are in one to just move. I can't see myself moving Bolivia so that my income will stretch further, so I can't ask anyone else to leave everything and everyone behind.
In 2005 I was making only a couple dollars over minimum wage and had 4 roommates in a five bedroom townhouse. And this was in the Midwest over an hour from the nearest major city.
I don't doubt her need for roommates, since SF rents are insane. But how is it that you spent so much? You can live on your own with $12K a year in California's capitol city, I've done it. The midwest has got to be cheaper.

It's hardly a new problem with watches either. I had to take off my calculator watch for math tests in elementary school in the 80s.

In Reagan's defense, he did sign the law requiring emergency rooms to treat patients who don't have money -- so his legacy on health care is mixed.

Walking to school alone isn't illegal. What's the difference?

A large percentage of the residents of Crimea were already Russian citizens, so it obviously had relevance to them.
