They suck at cars, but I've never had that problem.
I had a focus with sync though as a rental. The worst UI I've ever used.
1) two menu items "audio settings" two layers deep 2) it always reverted back to audio from radio every time I got in 3) when I connected my phone, it'd tell me to go to "audio settings" to play Bluetooth audio (with 1 and 2 this was hugely annoying) 4) whenever I tried to charge my phone thought the USB in the center counsel, it'd start playing MP3s off my phone, including my voicemails.
This was all the basic stuff, I can't imagine how bad it would be to try to used the "sync" features.
I've simply stopped locking my phone where it's secure (home, car, work).
I'm not knocking the fingerprint, but where it's really needed I think it's obsolete. What I really wish Android had was a boot password (for encryption) and a separate lock.
So I could conveniently get my phone unlocked, but remote reboot, or reboot to make it secured.
Why should I need to right side up my phone when I pick it up?
I usually don't need the volume, and I seem to be able to figure it out when the phone is sideways (which does swap), the control buttons are software now, so that doesn't matter.
My comfortable hold puts my pinky over the charging port, so it's a total nuisance when charging.
Also, there's already a rotate lock feature, doesn't seem like the option for four direction rotation would make anybody's life worse, and some people's better, and it wouldn't even be a difficult one to implement (been in cyanogen since forever, and I suspect already an internal option).
I've loved moto X 2014. The addition of an improved camera app, motion controls (both accelerameter and proximity) were nice additions beyond stock that I liked.
I believe "business" was meant to mean "corporation", which is certainly a give and take between the business and society, and not the natural state of doing commerce.
When a few hundred to thousand people are asked to make an illegal change to a contract, that's exactly what you do.
You get a lawyer to make sure they don't need to, and the lawyer wins legal fees. The court of public opinion now probably renders it less important, but were I a tenant, I'd probably like some binding clarifications before renewing my lease. This too is a job for a lawyer.
Also, anything that is particularly popular will likely get built in shortly.
Maps, navigation, calculator, web browser, email, music, all built in.
Outside of that I use facebook, an rpn calculator, whatsapp (for foreigners, probably a corner case for US use), a dating app if I'm single, a podcast all (I'm guessing built in soon), Netflix, Hulu, and HBO, to control my TV.
Part of the issue is most apps suck (as in most sites make an app worse than their home page with limited function).
I bought it for the Retina Display, it runs Windows 7 exclusively (some work software).
It was another year beat least before a PC came out with a display like that, and not for much of a savings (no savings until you accounted for the cost of a USB hub, which I may have needed anyway.
humans have successfully changed how the entire world works a few times, I don't see why they can't do it again.
gentle nudges (gentle being very important) and pre planning can minimize the pain of those changes (e.g. the industrial revolution, or the many violent ones that took place after it).
The GP was using extreme examples, and I don't think supports true purely even distribution, but if there were a reasonable UBI slowly phased in (as prebates to consumption tax for example), you could similarly loosen up things such as various worker protections (minimum wage at the very least).
Last time a massive amount of people ended up without jobs due to shifts in productivity the way the world worked did change, but it did so after a lot of suffering.
It will happen again, hopefully in a much more controlled fashion.
Where I work, one of our offices has a system that does that.
We have a lot of machines that produce unvented heat (toner based printers on the largish size, a large laminator, a heat tunnel for shrink wrap). We run the AC 8-10 months a year, except in the one shop, for two months, we can run it with just the cold air of outside (I actually think it still used a heat exchange, but with a sensor to not run the compressor when it's cold out).
The article said that any amount is equally bad, and gave no meaningful numbers past that. Nor did it quantify bad. The drivers succeed 1/5th as often as sober drivers, with no relation to how much weed they had. Of course "failing" is ambiguous too in this context.
Nowhere did it say they are detectable weeks later. Not have I ever heard that they are. The motablites are, but not the the actual substance (even in the piss such as is the case with fly agaric).
Also, the way I picture long haul truckers working, you have one or two drivers (second driver for 24 hour driving) in the first truck with a few trucks following.
I fully expect this could be done today, completely safely for the highway. This wouldn't eliminate people, but it would greatly reduce their need.
You'd need extra drivers in locations where the routes split for local driving.
Are you saying a blood test for actual THC will trigger weeks later at a similar amount as when someone is stoned?
My understanding has always been that a piss test for metabolites can do so. Similar to the way there's piss tests for alcohol metabolites that can detect for longer than alcohol is in the blood (days not weeks though).

My car Bluetooth is a trusted device,

Not anymore, the tech is stabilizing.
But yeah, for a while, it was like the 90s with computers.
Now you can get a decent phone for $150, bonus, SD card and available battery.
Since you're not committed to brand new tech ($150 gets two year old lower high end, or higher medium end) you shouldn't ever spend $500.
The phones I've had with quick charge don't last 2 years on the battery.
Still, I'll take the slimness and the pain of a warranty replace over changeable battery.

As long as it's "near stock".
I've loved moto X 2014. The addition of an improved camera app, motion controls (both accelerameter and proximity) were nice additions beyond stock that I liked.
As long as they keep it simple, I'm OK.
I believe "business" was meant to mean "corporation", which is certainly a give and take between the business and society, and not the natural state of doing commerce.

I haven't, I was (erroneously) assuming that since Seattle is a city, it'd have similar amenities to the more remote areas where I live.
And it's awkward and silly.
A better question would be why this wouldn't effect the local climate, though I suspect it would.
That's the first thing I thought, where would Augmented reality with a non opaque fallback mode be important, car windows.
Maybe Glasses too.
Are their cellphone Towers?
I'd think for reference, a tablet, or tethered phone with unlimited data would be fine.
Signal Jammers are all the way illegal in the US.
Most areas have this law.
Philadelphia is pretty unique in being a big city that allows it.
Don't know where this article took place.
Alcohol .05 or do you measure different there? .5 is fatal here.
Nowhere did it say that in TFA.

Old fogies understand here.
They understand that the cabs are worthless (hours of wait sometimes, or outright refusal to pickup if your five minutes out of town).
They also understand that people used to drive drunk when they couldn't get a cab home.
Uber has made the roads safer, and old fogies understand that.
Even in Brooklyn, cabs were a bitch past Williamsburg (to the point that people would hitch hike or use even less checked drivers than uber).
The cab companies destroyed themselves by being anti customer, and not following the regulations they were supposed to.
I actually think linking to the wikipedia page is the correct way to handle this, it doesn't bog down those that know the term.
Though maybe it was edited, because it's defined in the sentence now too.
But it is sited, and up to date, which is far superior than the encyclopedias I had growing up.
