Convincing evidence that Russia intervened in the elections is a valid reason for the electoral college to vote the other way. No one thought of computer hacking when the electoral college was created of course but I would say it translates well. Come to think of it, the FBI director letter could in it self be considered an undue influence on the election.
They really need to publish some proof Not sure why you would release a voting system that was secure beyond a shadow of a doubt. I hope everything ends up adding up for the sake of the integrity of the outgoing leadership.
Have you driven in winter? I'm not buying a car that has a remote chance of stopping and forcing me to walk through ankle deep dirty slush to wipe something off. Defeats the point of the self driving.
How fast do these things travel? I think I remember a top speed of 35 mph? Seeing as most humans could drive for 5 years and not get into an accident at that speed, I'm not really sure if there is anything to prove here. They would at least need to go for that long without touching the wheel for anything to be relevant, and yet here they are messing around with two drivers per car.
Correction, autonomous cars will cost way more to buy and maintain then current cars. And cost is never the indication of price (refer to Apple products). The more reliant people become on the service, the more expensive it will be. As long as the top 50% wealthiest of people will pay top dollar for it, the least 50% will be left behind and struggling to afford it. This is assuming it is a private service and not public. But that would take regulation, which no one here seems to like.
10 hour battery life doing what? I have a brand new macbook pro and it is more around 6-7 hours. It is undoubtedly the best battery life of any laptop I've had so far but not 10 hours.
Not only that, but people have rose colored glasses on if they think a service like this will spend money on having a car available instantly to everyone once they are the only viable solution. They will be as bad as taxis maybe worse.
Then why does every car I've ever had for more than 10 years have electrical problems before mechanical problems? It's not the silicone it's the solder joints I think. Freeze and thaw cycles are very hard on them. And when they break you usually have to put up with it until you buy a new car.
I agree. A consulting company is in the business of speculating where resources will be needed. Therefore it is illogical that they could ever hire under H1B since the point of H1B is to be a last resort for hiring once all avenues are exhausted. It is not supposed to be used to fill positions that are still being speculated upon.
It is part of regulation here that there be a certain number of taxis that are designed for physically disabled. It amazes me so many places don't enforce that as part of regulation, since that is kind of the point. Probably because Americans don't like government 'meddling' and therefore resist any kind of enforcement.
Where I come from, taxis have to have things like stab shields for the driver and call 911 strobes on the top of the car. It has to be all part of regulation because it costs money to modify a car in this way so you have to ensure everyone Part of the point of regulations is that they are used as a mechanism to proactively deal with problems. It sounds like in a lot of districts government hasn't really done their job in that regard. The answer is to demand that the government do a better job.

If anything I hope this emphasizes the need to use well funded domestic IT workers in many more areas of the industry.

I live in a place that is cold. I sure hope a Tesla stays heated while having to sit in it for 15 mins.

..in other news, Watson has been retasked to find the *best* places to deposit ransom ware.
Yes because it's wonderful having a person take a shit in your 80K luxurymobile.
You forgot rampant food poisoning and buildings that fall down on people in a strong wind.

I don't know they don't publish that information. I can only assume they must be attended frequently.
Automation DOES create jobs!
IF that occurred 'never' then we would already know it.

So you're saying I should basically use a taxi service and not have a car. No thanks.
Put a C64 outside for five years in a place that freezes in the winter and use it year round, see how long it lasts.

American's pay / 40 hours = X per hour
Equivalent to American's pay / long hours = much less than X per hour
Therefore they get paid less.
I'd be more impressed with Trump if he met with these 250 workers rather than meet with the heads if large IT companies.

They have to register their fingerprints with the local police service, so yeah they do.

Why the hell would you be doing development on an iPad? That just sounds painful.
