Unless, of course, you're speaking for yourself being "hapless", since it is clear you can't figure out even the simple solutions to the imaginary problems you see with technology.
Those who are truly hapless are the ones who don't understand that you don't know whether new, hyped solutions will actually work or whether they will have unforeseen problems until you actually try them out for a while and see what happens in reality.
Amongst travelers, the hapless are those that didn't know they should plan ahead. They get stuck in middle seats, separated from the people they are travelling with. They don't have access to the lounges. They get on the plane last and then have to check their bags because their's no space left. They end up in a long taxi line, rather than having a pre-arranged pickup or other transport option. They wear shoes with laces.
Further, UBER is just a first shot across the bow. The next one will be automated "city cars" built by Google, that will pickup and drop off people at work and take them shopping and whatnot. The end of the taxi is coming.
It will be a subscription based 'private club' service to get around taxi regulations. Wealthier and frequent flyers will all sign up and get whisked efficiently to where they are going, Taxi operators will go bust. Hapless families on their once-a-decade flight get left waiting for a bus.
This is the normal filtering effect of the travel service industry. It serves to physically separate the savvy and/or wealthier travelers from the great unwashed.
The principle reason to put 2560x1440 pixels on a phone is to further the embarrassment of monitor manufacturers who can only manage to get 1/4 of the pixels into a 19" screen.
I used to travel a lot and that's when I got the headphones. But now I'm desk bound, the Bose work great. Diminishing the noise from the environment is a much lower hanging fruit than perfecting the reproduced audio signal.
You interest in having employment opportunities as a programmer is served by having a large programming industry in your locality.
Anything that makes it easy for people to move to where the programming jobs are entrenches that place as being where the programmers and the programming jobs will be.
If you aren't competing with immigrants, you aren't going to be competing for any jobs, because they'll be elsewhere.
>It's not particularly good among "groups", either.
It's a ranking test designed for the classroom. You fire a bunch of questions, the same ones at the subjects and rank them in order of their results. There should be many questions. That is the IQ test. That's why it's a 'Q' for quotient, not any other sort of metric. It ranks within a group in the same testing context. As a test it has no power to test an absolute level of intelligence. Just a relative ranking measure, and a sloppy one at that, within a group.
The later attempts to use the test across groups and worse, across vastly different contexts, while claiming it measures intelligence, while ignoring the Q in IQ are at best dishonest but actually criminal.

Bullshit. They are gatekeepers to the code and they charge a fine fee to make modifications or add features. The lack of documentation cements their position.

My frequent flyer card says I do.

Is Mitch Landrieu threatening to have Taxi cab drivers assault customers if Uber prevail?
Some humour is just a little too subtle for some people. Even not very subtle humour.
Thats not fair. It just isnt.
Your not nice.

My Bose noise canceling headphones have worked just fine for several years.
This is true. More importantly, they don't count the non-accident journeys that did involve drink.
It could be that drunk people driving take more care to compensate.
Until you test for the null hypothesis, you know nothing.
You do know the chemical pathways of fructose in the body is almost identical to alcohol right? Especially in the liver.
The way to prevent death by drunk drivers is to fix zoning so that bars can be found within walking (or staggering) distance of where people live.

Worse you need your phone to call your lawyer so he can hear you not consent. That'll really piss the PO off.

I avoided the military and so got no medals.
I didn't get shot either, so on balance I consider that a win.
I read that as "Seattle gets taken out by Amazon".
Well good.
Alrighty. Seems sane. Yes the guy was a dick.
It's correct by definition. That's what the test was designed to do.
>they might be a proxy for ranking within groups
That's what the test was designed for.

Don't you check the parking before you take a job?

The sooner the beast is killed, the better.
So how did information get from the database to the web servers or visa versa?
If they were that smart they would know that the IQ test is neither a valid no reliable test for comparisons between groups, only within groups.
