I will need to applaud Uber, as its business model, allows for people to work for their money, the harder they work the more they get paid.
and just think, with all of these uninsured drivers, we will have lots of ex-uber drivers who are bankrupt because they got into accidents and their insurance would not cover them because they were being paid
and then we will have all of the injured passengers who will get no payment for their injuries and thus will end up having the taxpayer pay for their injuries
yes indeed we look forward to this nirvana of bankrupt drivers and maimed passengers and higher taxes
your employer has no obligation or stake in how you transport yourself to your job. this is well settled law. once you get to work and you have to travel, it's a different story.
How does 'industry regulation' prevent car accidents?
that's not the question. accidents happen to everyone. the question is, who pays when there is an accident? if the driver is underinsured, does the victim have to suffer or should they get the settlement that they deserve? where does the money come from? do we let these people rot? no, we take care of them with our taxes. Thus, in your unregulated universe we all pay for the bad actions of others (is that socialist or what)
you make it all involved but it is very very simple
internet data from out of state corporations head into your state via the internet in the form of advertisements and web pages. people in your state see these advertisements and web sites and order products and services from them. voila, the internet is a mechanism for interstate commerce and thus can be regulated by the federal government
the evidence from NYC and other large cities is that people have devices called legs that can transport them autonomously for several blocks if necessary from the subway station to their job
there are also possibly apocryphal tales of things called "platforms" where people wait for trains that don't necessarily run every minute
You are not counting the regional transit agencies. NJ Transit, SEPTA, MBTA, Metro North, etc, also use these same Northeast Corridor rails for commuter service. They carry many many more passengers than amtrak, this is where that number comes from.
It runs safety awareness campaigns because that may decrease the chance that people interact unsafely with high-voltage wires.
If my utility company is using this mechanism to promote safety then they are wasting my money because people who care about this should NOT be learning about it in an advertisement
In any medium, a modus vivendi develops between consumers and advertisers.
this is BULL crap. I don't need advertising to tell me that I need to buy food or clothing or a car or a place to live. The only businesses that needs advertising are the ones that are selling things that people do not actually need.
Nobody objects to ads in a magazine or online advertising that works like ads in a magazine.
more bull crap, I object strongly to a magazine where 90% of the pages are advertisements
I don't mind static ads. Heck, I don't even mind analytics and tracking as long as it is anonymous and the raw data is not made available to anyone who could de-anonymize it.
this is pretty much saying that you like blue unicorns better
If all exploits in a exploit kit are either patched (in the case of browser exploits targeting an older browser version) or disabled (in the case of Flash exploits), I am safe from that particular exploit kit.
this is kind of like saying that since the bullet embedded in the wall has already been shot, nobody will ever hit you with a bullet
The Mythical Man Month only really discusses using more resources to shorten delivery time (doesn't work). It does not say more resources cause a worse outcome.
yes it does, did you read it? more resources need to be brought up to speed, thus requiring meetings with existing resources, taking time away from them, slowing down the project. new resources mean new priorities, changes in direction and a different (probably worse) outcome. it's all there, read it.

who exactly do you call when the winner of the auction pays with counterfeit currency?
who do you call when armed bandits show up at the auction to steal the stuff?
who do you call when the renoir you just bought turns out to be fake?
tell us more about this lack of government interference in auctions

it really is just that simple
If they showed interest in expanding, it becomes interstate commerce and, therefore, a federal matter. (I'm not a lawyer, so YMMV.)
don't worry, it becomes interstate commerce as soon as the very first internet customer sees an advertisement for an out of state business.
Rights apply to a PERSON, not a group of people.
you might want to read up on what corporations are all about, and how corporations have rights
hint: what does "corporation" mean in latin?
the evidence from NYC and other large cities is that people have devices called legs that can transport them autonomously for several blocks if necessary from the subway station to their job
there are also possibly apocryphal tales of things called "platforms" where people wait for trains that don't necessarily run every minute
they don't even have enough rolling stock to have that problem
yeah how about that, the train passes through the largest city in the state, and it stops there. imagine that, how unusual
Amtrak, with a variety of administrators, has been trying and failing to not lose money for 44 years.
our highway system has been losing money for over 200 years

why should I subsidize their ticket prices?
why am i subsidizing your automobile travel?
why do my taxes pay for military escorts for your gasoline?
why am i paying for your airports?
do advertisers accept responsibility and pay for the damages caused by the malware in their advertisements? no? so screw them and block the ads
For some reason, most people actually seem to pay at least some attention to ads..
I'm curious which of your orifices did you pull this statistic out of?

They want voters to have a more positive image of them so they don't vote for local politicians that would trim the fat of their racket.
interrupting my viewing experience is not exactly the right way to do this

if you are working with MSP430 or STM32L series ultra-low power processors, an external oscillator will consume more power than your entire processor
>Very hypothetical problems.
you still need to carefully read the specs for all of the parts involved, even simple parts can have complex requirements for reliable operation.
