I know someone who doesn't want to buy a new vehicle. It's not worth it to them because their dog already tore apart the old vehicle so they keep repairing the old one. How are they supposed to use a shared car?
Some people just want to dump 98% of the programming but watch Game of Thrones. Sure you can get it for $15/mo in the US but now everyone is in the US. What about them? Personally, I want to watch the shows I want to watch. I'm not happy with most of what is on Netflix, especially if I can only watch old seasons of shows.
But most people want to watch certain shows. How easy is it to cut the cable and get current seasons of Game of Thrones and Walking Dead? Those shows are a small percentage of the content I get with a cable package but I have to jump through a lot of expensive hoops to get them.
For me, lyrics alone can make a song. Traditionally it was already difficult to find truly poetic lyrics that discussed something worth discussing, but now it's almost impossible.
All this money and effort to gather real instruments and make a high quality recording, most likely to be listened to from a compressed MP3, further compressed by bluetooth, to wireless headphones with sound drivers powered by a tiny little battery.
I lose stuff too. So for my brand new smart key I bought a brand new carabiner clip for $0.25. My smart key is either on my key rack, in my wife's purse (who isn't so prone to losing stuff) or clipped securely to my belt or laptop bag.
The first thing I did with my new Ford was put a carabiner on my keys that gets securely clipped to a belt loop if not on my key rack. Cost of carabiner? $0.25.
Don't know about foobar but I found it very useful that Mediamonkey would arrange music into folders based on MP3 tag. Then if you're going to a media device that isn't as smart, you just copy by folder.
I'm not as greedy as fuck. If I found a bag in the street containing a million dollars and I knew it was totally anonymous, I would still try to get it to the correct owner. So please don't include me in your broad brush stroking.
Really? Fixed taxes can take money and rent money away from the poor. Allowing them to afford basic necessities is the point of the progression.
Not sure if I've seen progressive tax do that to the wealthy.
If everyone wanted to be a financial advisor then they would already be employed as a financial advisor. I would rather not spend time on it or accept the risk for it because I simply don't enjoy it.
I laughed out loud at this one. People keep mowing down the markers at a construction site near me and the workers can't even be bothered to set them back up. No way in hell are they going to be fiddling with a device putting these markers into a virtual database.
Compound that by the number of various markers that any construction company may use at a site. There must be a thousand different markers that guide traffic, placed on only losely standard ways.
So when they built a roundabout by my house, automated cars would just continue to drive over the middle of it for months until streetview comes around again?

We don't know that a vehicle has hardware for self driving until we have a vehicle that is actually self driving. At this point it is a guess.
We can't trust corporations to save a child who can't afford to buy a replacement car.

Oh it's not about being old, it's about having an appreciation for irony.

It's worse to blame the people who have no power to change anything.

Can you not plug, download, then unplug?
Lol.. I bought ACDSee once fifteen years ago and I'm still getting emails begging me to buy it for "80% off".

Mediamonkey was what I used to manage my music after the iTunes era but without the bloat. I bought a lifetime license for $30 years and years ago.
The retailer is the only one making a conscientious decision here. A million detached consumers can't be making any kind of decision collectively.

I like how this is written like it is a surprise. Did people really think that autonomous vehicles actually thought about the signs?
There is no way that would work in my city. They can't even keep their own gis map up to date, no way a map like that would be current.
