No, she lost because Trump got more votes in the electoral college. But then, she would have lost if the Republicans has nominated a plastic coat hanger.
It's less ridiculous than "I am a Nigerian Prince, send me thousands of dollars and I will send you millions in return." But people fall for that every day (and it is a booming business these days, despite who incredibly well known the scam is.)
I think Uber knows exactly what they're doing. And it's not building an air taxi, it's preparing a multi-media prospectus for investors who have begun to realize that Uber will never be profitable with their current services, but aren't willing to write it off yet.
"You've wasted billions on what we're doing now and will never get a penny of it back, but if you just invest a few billion more, we'll come up with a completely different, and far more impossible, idea that will fix it all! We promise!"
Uber is basically underpants gnomes running a 419 scam.
My "land departure warning" system goes nuts at sunset, driving west, when there has been tar poured into the cracks in the pavement. The reflections look - to it - just like lane markers.
California issues drivers licenses to illegals. Once you have a valid license, it's trivial to get insurance (if you have money). What else does Uber "vet" beyond the ability to get in and out of the car without hurting oneself?
When someone working 40 hours a week at the federal minimum wage has a gross income (not take-home) that is less than the rent on the average studio apartment in LA, it's not a living wage.
On the other hand, California has its own minimum wage, which is quite bit higher (and still nowhere near a living wage), so your whining is fairly stupid anyway.
There's already a strong push on to switch to the Chinese Yuan as the international currency of trade as well.
Thanks for saying that. I haven't had that good a laugh in a long time.
The US needs to be very careful right now. The US Dollar, the economy, stocks & bonds, etc...are all built on fiction.
And the Chinese economy is build on badly written, self published fan fiction. Which we can shorten to "house of cards." That's why Trump scares them so much they're bullying North Korea into behaving. A trade war between the US and China will hurt both countries. But the US will recover, while China has food riots.
I agree there is nothing at all wrong with going right into plumbing. But when the plumbing jobs dry up, for whatever reason, what do you have to fall back on?
So you're just going to pretend that nobody has disputed whether or not that will happen any time soon? I repeat: Robots aren't going to be doing plumbing within our lifetimes.
A bachelor's degree opens more doors in the long-term.
People aren't going to stop shitting any time soon, and plumbing isn't going to get any simpler, or easier to get at, either.
There is nothing preventing someone from pursuing plumbing (or electrical work, or HVAC, etc.) after earning a bachelor's degree.
There's the exact same nothing wrong with doing so without bothering with a bachelor's degree and tens of thousand of dollars in student loans, either.
When the robot plumbers enter the workforce, you'd better have something to support your ability to transition to something else.
I've done plumbing work. No robot will do so during our lifetimes, outside if - perhaps - a trailer park home manufacturing plant (and I wouldn't bet on that, either).
There's a reason plumbers make as much as doctors.
To a certain degree, OLPC is why we have sub-$100 Android tablets these days. They inspired the whole idea of cheap mobile devices, back when laptops still cost a grand for something with less computing power than the average wrist watch has today.
Because you like licking your computer? You don't know who else has licked it, you know. It's like you're licking everyone who has ever used that computer.
I'm gonna go set up a Kickstarter for tongue condoms. I'll be rich!

I cannot believe this bullshit research gets publicized by Bezos' fake news Washington Post.
Why would that surprise you? WaPo is just shy of publishing Bat Boy stories. Random word generators are more likely to be true.

I prefer the term "outrage monkey," throwing their poo at the tourists.

Of course it will do something. It will set the "Do not admit we track this any more" flag.

1) Plumbers do not make as much as doctors.
That depends on the plumber, and the doctor. Specialists make more, GPs, quite often, do not.

Er, dude, passwords can (and are, often) certainly be brute forced without the victim's knowledge.
And passwords can certainly be beaten out of someone as easily as a finger cut off and taken.
