Actually, if there are a lot of cars on every residential artery then every residential artery needs to be built for a massive volume of traffic. Be prepared for taxes to go up in your city because of it.
I came here to post just this. They completely missed the whole 'developmental phase' aspect. It's hard to tell exactly what they were trying to prove with this actually. Perhaps how much money they could raise for a totally useless study.
A common theme I see with technology is wanting to throw out the baby with the bathwater. The world already WENT THROUGH THIS. We came up with that news anchor and evening paper BECAUSE of the unreliability of information otherwise. Then millennials come along and say that the news anchor is now corrupt and start to read and believe EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET. There is something *very wrong* with this picture.
One could have easily said the same thing in the myspace day. Ultimately Facebook is just a really big message board, and they are already getting old. There is lots of room for other players and you won't be one of them if you keep thinking that way.
I mentioned this on Slashdot as I saw millennials throw out the concept of journalistic integrity and accreditation. It was always a thing. It was Facebook that destroyed it. Now all the reliable sources (which were mostly print media) are going bankrupt.
It always WAS about reputation. People used to read and trust news from ACCREDITED SOURCES ONLY. Only since Facebook and the death of print has this changed.
When did it become clear EVs would take over light ground transportation? Do they mean golf carts? I see some convincing use cases for EV (basically to get around a city) but prices have not come down enough for the mainstream to buy them 'just to get around a city'.Even if you have a Tesla and Supercharger stations, you're going to have to do a lot of planning and your road trip vacation will likely be governed in some respect to where the stations are. A lot of problems to be solved first. They're going to have to be financially and logistically reasonable before they become mainstream.
This is by no means meant to be a comprehensive retort, but this line:
In 2014, the top 1% earners paid an effective income tax rate of 27.16%, carrying 39.48% of total income taxes paid.
Is that 27.16% based only on the tax paid on income, thus ignoring the fact that they are escaping taxes by investing and claiming capital gains instead? Or is that 27.16% based on all income including the various other lower taxed categories that generally only the wealthy have the resources to take a significant advantage of? Also does this include funds places in offshore accounts?
That's not all I want, but I use my phone for the other things. The only question here is if I need *everything* on my wrist instead of pulling out my phone and the answer is no. Not for the price and hassle.
Why the hell do people need to monitor themselves all... the.. time. One piece of advice from weight loss lifestyle changes is not to weigh yourself every day. It's not like these sensors are accurate enough to replace a valid medical monitor. It can be too much.
They move onto some flashy app that just uses rss in the background. A flashy app is good for keeping uncool technologies away from the ultra cool masses.
It doesn't matter how many riders use a system, you are going to have to spend a certain amount to keep that system going and if you spend it first then more people will use it. If Japan keeps theirs going on ten million a year but New York has fifty million, then you know there is a problem.
When salaries go up in lieu of profits, when all jobs are work from home that can possibly be work from home, and when jobs come with some sort of special benefit to rise above other offers, then you know technology companies are really having a hard time finding people. Until then it is just blowing smoke.

..and as I said before, if every route must be built to support this traffic, a lot of taxes are going up in the end.
You didn't pay enough to use them how you want to. You paid exactly enough to use them how they want you to use them.

Man I'm getting tired of you asshats who don't think playing along with others is important. That's how society works. Grow the fuck up.

The golden rule of technology: Just because you can do it doesn't mean you should. This means more today than ever.

Since it happened in America, I'm waiting for the rave that will inevitably follow in this building (complete with pyrotechnic effects).
Were they sure EVERYONE working on the project knew it was a truss bridge?
Well they won't get that with a smart watch, they aren't accurate enough for clinical use.
My parents are certainly older, and they have never had a need for a smart watch.
Those standards project Apple, not Apple users.
You have to have expertise to avoid significant taxes and not get caught. Something the rich can afford a lot more of.

I respect just a normal analog watch. It's simple, it does the job, and you only need to change the battery once every few years.

Keep paying top dollar for Musk's super-fancy golf carts folks!
