So you are working on such a small system that it is worth it for you to have everything you type in the address field to go to Google? I've only had performance issues with Firefox on very small atom CPU systems.
I don't really get the 'FF is a joke' crowd. When I tried Chrome a couple years ago, yes, it was faster but it was breaking sites. Plus I don't need more tracking by Google so I never went back. I won't use internet explorer / edge because it's internet explorer / edge. Safari seems slow as well. I've always used Firefox and occasionally plugins and it has always worked for me everywhere, with the exception of some.NET crap sites. Quantum is all the more faster, so I'm liking it.
If self driving vehicles take rules literally, it will make driving impossibly for everyone else. This is a problem with salf-driving cars and not everyone else. This is all I'm saying. If self-driving cars were being put on their own separate track, then fine. But they need to be able to drive with people, and that means they need to anticipate what people will do and not cause in accidents, whether it is their fault or not.
I'm not sure what to make of your comment since I'm holding self-driving to the same standard as other drivers. If someone stopped behind a truck backing up I would call them an idiot too. You realize, the only reason why this technology is 'working' now is because the accident has made everyone shit-scared of these buses and they are tip toeing around them. At some point someone is going to get in an accident with another human driver solely because they were worried about avoiding the self-driving vehicle that will do something idiotic. Of course, these accidents will never be captured as 'caused by self-driving' even though they technically are. Once more of these idiot vehicles are released, driving may become more dangerous for everyone. If a person drives 10 MPH on a freeway and people get in accidents while avoiding the slow vehicle, who has really caused it?
Funny, the last time I got in an accident, no one said "you know what, many people get in worse accidents. We're not going to penalize you for this one."
Pruck drivers have to do these things because of the places businesses need them to load. Roads are not made for truck drivers, especially drop off points in back alleys. Fine then, every city should really be making roads for truck drivers. Let's tear down buildings and widen back alleys. That should only cost a hundred billion dollars or so.
But it still emphasizes the issue at the heart of self-driving. The truck driver has probably made this maneuver successfully hundreds of times because humans understand the situation well and can anticipate the movement of the truck and how do prevent it from turning into an accident. How can a self driving vehicle be on a public road if it cannot be like a human in a very straightforward way? It doesn't really matter what the law is here, self driving shouldn't be turning normal human driving scenarios into a collision.
If this was true, then there wouldn't have to be H-1B. Companies would simply offer the amount of money they need to get the employees with the skills they need and all would be well. Shareholders may not be as happy, but the company would run fine. The fact that there are workers hired at entry level positions on H-1B proves that the job market isn't working the way you say it should. To me it demonstrates that when companies go out and attempt to hire with A) they often find employees are not desperate enough, rather than coming to the conclusion that they should offer more money.
While I agree, I hear Singapore is very clean and the type of place where lines get repainted and signs fixed in short order. It may be the only place in the world where self driving can work, especially on fixed routes like buses have.
The thing is, there are two ways to utilize the market in deciding what a worker is worth. A) Look around at what others are paying, determine how desperate the worker is, and offer slightly less if worker is desperate, and B) determine how much value the worker provides to your company and pay them that. A) results in fairly steady race to the bottom, B) does not. Guess which method most corporations choose?
Didn't the rise of Uber basically highlight exactly why this is no longer a problem?
You'll have to explain this one, Uber aggravates the problems that taxi regulations were designed to prevent. If everyone with a self driving car were able to rent it out, that would just get worse.
Without a full criminal background check, how do you know? You basically are letting in everyone, some of whom may be violent. Nor do I see any such breakdown in the article, so I have to believe some are violent.
So a rapist/molester/abuser/violent person that may be alone in a car with someone is less risky than a molester at a daycare? IS that the point being made here?
Uh, keyboard launchers have done this forever on both Linux and Windows. Let's not make this another thing we falsely believe to be an Apple invention.
I"m anticipating that it will not be legal for just any person to buy an autonomous car and rent it out freely for use. There is too much lobbying by companies like Uber and too many valid problems that may arise. How will you know if the car you get into is even safe, or if it has been on the road 24/7 for the last two years without being maintained? How does a city prevent too many people from putting their cars on the road to aimlessly drive around and clog streets? There will have to be some sort of regulation similar to what the taxi industry has now. It will cost money and inflate the value of a ride, and it won't be good for the little guy who wants to rent out his car.

Case in point, only now are they adding drag and drop capability to docs. No kind of macro language whatsoever.
..unless they have some formatting, or macros, or filters, etc.

Truck drivers never work in shifts? One sleeps while the other drives.
Good question. Time commitment should be a factor here.
The person legally at fault is not necessarily the person who caused the accident.

No that's not what I said at all. I'm not making a million dollars by having them cut my grass, so why would I pay them a million dollars?

Yup, pretty much the only way to keep a level playing field these days.
The thing is, there are two ways to utilize the market in deciding what a worker is worth.

Not an Apple fan, but really? Right or wrong, 'white people' tend to live in more affluent neighborhoods. Seems to be non-news to me.

Park where? You think spots in advantageous parts of a city are free? Driving around will be far cheaper than parking.
Without a full criminal background check, how do you know? You basically are letting in everyone, some of whom may be violent. Nor do I see any such breakdown in the article, so I have to believe some are violent.
I hear Instacart is always looking for someone.
