Most of my adult life (42) taxis have been the transportation of regrettable last resort. I discovered uber and lyft almost 2 yrs ago while living in SF. I use them now frequently and without hesitation. All the rest is an irrelevant distraction from the fact that the services are a free-market value where time and again taxis a regulated hustle.
Taxis driver doesn't like the area, you don't get a taxi. Taxi drivers don't like commuter flow this time of day, you don't get a taxi. Taxi driver doesn't want to take a CC, you don't get a taxi. Taxi driver expects a tip on top of so called 'regulated' fairs... It's a bullshit hustle. I am fully happy for the taxi industry to die die die forever. The proof that uber works isn't that it is taking market share away from taxis, it's that it creates a market where it wouldn't otherwise exist. Most of the market for this style of transportation is untapped because the customer experience of taxis is fucked up. So, I don't give a shit what the taxi industry says, and when I hear that whore beauricrates are running their paid face holes to protect that market, it just makes me hate those grifting two steps above organized crime crony bastards more. Fuck Taxis.
You all miss the point of a driverless car. Long commutes. Idle, captive audiences. The driverless car represents a permanent increase in viewer engagement. A more Internet focused public, driving Google ad revenue, is all the driverless car is about.
Free-will is a product of self-reflection in the context of uncertainty of outcome. It is about self reference when the problem set is indetirminant. It's relation to quantum mechanics is notable in as much as QM suggests that uncertainty is an instrinsic factor of the universe. But the relationship is tenuous as Randomness or detirministicness is irrelevant as certainty in this context is a function of perception. Free will is inseparable from an integrated self concept where choice is resolved along both dependant and independant factors.
Good luck finding a coefficient for faith jackholes....
Marijuana has an almost universal effect of inhibiting the users 'Vote' response. People who smokey pot regularly are ten times more likely to sit on their asses on election day in spite of their strongly held political beliefs. Users typically engage in some form of disenfranchisement delusion or conspiracy theory as a cover for their pot induce political impotence. In fact, this is widely believed to be the primary reason Marijuana is illegal in the first place. The people who use it are the least likely to do any thing about it except whine and bitch.
In fact, if anyone in the Republican party had any sense about them, they would legalize it immediately and paralysis half of the left wing electorate.
Believe me, no parent who has ever had their child abducted, raped and murdered has ever thought their problem was statistically insignificant. When you are a parent, your don't care about statistics, because you don't play the numbers with your children. I want to know the answer to this mans question as well. And if there is a product that fits the criteria, I will be buying one, for the same reason I own guns. Even there the odds of me using one for self defense are statistic insignificant, the odds of me ever wishing I had had one to use are exactly 0. That is certainty with paying for.
These are the only products I know of... I don't know how good any of them are...

Microsoft has historically beaten all competition by driving them out of the market when necessary with free alternatives. This was the key role IE played in defeating Netscape and every one else.
Windows beat OS\2 by virtually giving away the OS to every OEM that would install it. They know the value of Free.
They cannot compete with free. As long as Linux is out there, they know its just a matter of time. They know that every new DRM strategy, every new virus, Every PC loaded with bloat ware is just another nail in the Windows coffin.
Not today, not tomorrow. But within twenty years, you may be setting in front of a Microsoft distro of open source Linux. Microsoft will still be there, but they will no longer be the OS monopoly they are now.
All the worlds biggest mistakes were arrived at through a steady progression of good ideas. Yes, we can come close to keeping ultimate order and stopping crime by sacrificing each personal liberty, which always seem paltry when measured next to the need.
But utopia is no place for free people.
These stem cells are the most pristine and the closest match for your childs DNA. They are possibly a very good match for you, or your wife. In the big scheme of things, the cost isnt that much.
They have already been used for successful treatments. With Stem cell research about to comeback into American mainstream research, the uses are only going to grow.
Do you have to have them? No. Does not having them make you a bad parent? No. Will you regret not having them? I certainly hope not. Will you regret not having the money you spent on them? You will have to decide that.
Ultimately, its like a gun. Better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.
I got it when my child was born. I felt that I have the latitude to do it, and I have not regretted it. I have spent much more on much less.

Yes, his wife is definitely better at sex than yours. Everyone knows that.

Its not his system to patch. And the system is compulsory. His only interest and responsibility is his kid.

The Copyright privilege is a social contract. I vote to cancel it. It is no longer needed.
This reminds me of when Alabama declared pi to be equal to three.

Are you going to vote for McKlan/Praylin, or do you have an education and atleast two brain cells...
