In the US we have 4 providers (Tmo, Verizon, Sprint, ATT), many resellers, and options for cheap cross bordera (through TMO at least).
Also, zero rated streaming is happening, but on a level playing field that any content provider can play on (though in a month or so I expect zero rating to become based around crushing other providers).
Tim Gunn seems legitimately like he cares, and the show doesn't play the drama so much. And they break the rules for the sake of making better TV (not eliminating people when no one should be eliminated).
There's definitely an element of making things too.
I know it's not for everyone, but it's hardly garbage IMO.
Except their cars weren't autonomous by California law, as they required active monitoring by a person.
CA law
“Autonomous vehicle” means any vehicle equipped with technology that has the capability of operating or driving the vehicle without the active physical control or monitoring of a natural person,
1) showed up in under ten minutes unscheduled (where I work, mid day, ten minute or less for an uber, I saw a woman wait 2 hours for a cab) 2) used GPS (Well past 2010 NYC cabbies would ask me directions, as if I knew showing up to meet a new client, and then make menus my GPS) 3) didn't go on strike about using GPS (happened in Philly, way too late for it to be acceptable to not have GPS) 4) took convenient payment (well past legal mandate in both NYC and Philly, cabbies would refuse credit cards) 5) didn't go on strike about taking convenient payment (Philly) 6) didn't bitch about ride destinations (cabbies will throw a fucking hiss fit if they pick you up in Williamsburg and find out you're going to bushwick edges after you've already made it into the cab) 7) was available at odd hours (I've tried to take cabs home from the bar on not particularly remote areas, dispatchers outright refused to send a cab)
Note, the Philly strikes may have been threatened only, I forget now, but it doesn't matter because they would pretty much refuse to take credit card unless you got aggressive back at them.
All of that is why I very rarely use cabs now, the industry has done it to themselves by being anti customer and relying on lack of technology and regulatory capture to keep profitable. Just as I have little pitty about the collapse of the recording industry, I have little for the cab industry either.
I'd argue that google's algorithms shouldn't be susceptible to SEO.
They're job should be to find the most relevant result to a question, and correct answers are more relevant.
This is NOT to say they should delist or manually alter, it is to say that there is perhaps a flaw in their algorithm that advantages stormfront (perhaps by accident even on both parties, the one, the other, or neither).
I'd think a reasonable solution to this would be to favor Wikipedia for questions that reference history, there'd be a word list that may be manually selected to determine history, but it wouldn't be designed to favor specific answers, simply to go to a more reliable source than random website with an agenda.
I'm not sure leaving something behind is enough to count as inducement in the US.
Person wasn't convinced to steal, person clearly has the capacity to take a phone left behind, and people leave phones behind often enough that I'd think the typical opportunity was there too.
The power factor of nuclear is greatly benefited because it has to be a base load plant.
I'm not saying your argument overall doesn't hold, simply that Nuclear's power factor is so high for reasons beyond its running day round. Gas with it's quick ups and downs, and efficient low power operation, also has a pretty bad power factor in practice.
The article says "production ready", which I take to mean as designed in such a way as to be mass produced.
A limited run of 100 I wouldn't say is "in production"
For me, a "production" automotive needs to: 1) have minimal built by hand going on (these 100 I suspect have a lot of it, but the design would work for more traditional assembly) 2) be for sale to end users (businesses or people) 3) be made as people are buying it (not made in limited quantity and then sold) 4) be street legal
I don't think this car will be production, I do think a self driving car will be soon. I suspect the reason they are testing these production ready cars is that they don't want to have the tech right and then start thinking about assembly.
That just says to me that they likely have very large by population precincts there (relative to Philadelphia, new York at least).
Hillary gained in very red (Georgia, Texas) and very blue (CA, not sure on others) states but lost ground I'm close states (Rust belt, Midwest). Her electoral college disadvantage was still not as big as Obama's advantage was.
They'd be happy for you to say "I'm self employed" and stop taking benefits, just as they'd be happy for you to say "I got a job" and stop taking benefits.
If anything, the current system gives advantage to starting one's own business on the DL and not taking a job with a crony.
Slashdot Mirror
I find Chrome way better than Safari.
Webkit worked a lot better than KHTML for web browsing.
True, neither built there's from the ground up, but they certainly added a lot.
It's probably about what I spend on groceries, but I eat out a good bit too.
I'm definitely not thrifty, but I'm hardly spendy (on food) either.
There food budgets are $150 and $200/month.
That's lower than most people who work for a living.
I meant to reply to the same comment you did, not yours.
A country isn't a corporation, and running it like one is weird. Especially running it like he does.
Well, I'm using the criteria of my purchasing power, which makes as much sense as any.
Awesome, so he'll pay himself a big and run it to bankruptcy?
Are you seriously saying inflation is 8%?
As in 2012 dollar is now worth $0.73 and if your pay hasn't gone up 36% over that time you've fallen backwards?
As someone who's pay hasn't gone up even close to that much, I'm calling bullshit.

By that argument, so is a standard Tesla.
They clearly need constant monitoring (and better drivers doing the monitoring).
Except their cars weren't autonomous by California law, as they required active monitoring by a person.

“Autonomous vehicle” means any vehicle equipped with technology that has the

a natural person,
Even stallman thinks it's OK for appliances.
His standard is if it's expected to be updated by consumers, it should be open (so bios should be, non-smart microwave not so much)
You're not really following what's happening with patents, are you?
If the taxi service where I lived:
1) showed up in under ten minutes unscheduled (where I work, mid day, ten minute or less for an uber, I saw a woman wait 2 hours for a cab)
2) used GPS (Well past 2010 NYC cabbies would ask me directions, as if I knew showing up to meet a new client, and then make menus my GPS)
3) didn't go on strike about using GPS (happened in Philly, way too late for it to be acceptable to not have GPS)
4) took convenient payment (well past legal mandate in both NYC and Philly, cabbies would refuse credit cards)
5) didn't go on strike about taking convenient payment (Philly)
6) didn't bitch about ride destinations (cabbies will throw a fucking hiss fit if they pick you up in Williamsburg and find out you're going to bushwick edges after you've already made it into the cab)
7) was available at odd hours (I've tried to take cabs home from the bar on not particularly remote areas, dispatchers outright refused to send a cab)

If sworn statements don't hold weight, does that mean you don't think witnesses should be allowed to testify?

It was, they spent around a billion in China before selling.
I don't think you're correct.
Does wind or solar have any cost of the fuel?
Surely capital maitanence costs hugely factor in, and more so than fuel costs.

The best way to measure voter relative power would be number of electoral votes divided by the gap in candidates.
By thateasure FL is close to the top, even though it's a big state, and Montana and California are both near the bottom for being extremes.
That just says to me that they likely have very large by population precincts there (relative to Philadelphia, new York at least).
Hillary gained in very red (Georgia, Texas) and very blue (CA, not sure on others) states but lost ground I'm close states (Rust belt, Midwest). Her electoral college disadvantage was still not as big as Obama's advantage was.
They don't require that at all.

He really didn't like taking the meaning out of words either though.
