My guess is that the software impersonated the app: request a pickup, and then when a driver matched, get the details of the vehicle and driver (so the pretend rider knows what vehicle to look for), then cancel the pickup.
The expansion of the supporting infrastructure doesn't do Foxconn any good, but the free land is a benefit. From this article last year:
The Village of Mount Pleasant and Racine County, where the plant is to be built, have also agreed to provide $764 million in tax incentives to help get the facility constructed, including buying the land and giving it to Foxconn for free.
I don't see any provision for clawbacks by the state or local officials.
No, GP is referring to articles like this one which show why additions to the NYC subway costs so much. TLDR: people who have no reason to care about costs get to dictate staffing levels.
Also, only a few lines of the subway was deluged, and those are being repaired over the next few years. The changes discussed in TFA are separate.
Are you referring to the DVD-by-mail service or the streaming service? For the former, Netflix didn't need arrangements with the studios; Netflix simply purchased the DVDs and rented them out. For the latter, the studios needed to agree.
Mid-engine, when used to refer to cars, means the engine is behind the passenger compartment and in front of the rear axle. Nobody in the automotive press refers to the current Corvette (C7) as mid-engined. The next-generation (C8) Corvette has been strongly rumored to be mid-engined.
Ah, but since the band's name is "Led Zeppelin", they're OK. Although the name was taken from the phrase, "you guys will go over like a lead zeppelin", which is weird because many of them were famous musicians before they formed the group.
At the risk of nitpicking, it's not a business practice, it's a government practice. The distinction is important because the courts have typically given governments broad leeway in using their "power of the purse". A good example is the 21 year old drinking age, which is not a federal law. However, the states were threatened with losing their share of the federally-allocated highway funds if they didn't enact their own 21 year old drinking age laws.
The potential harm of traffic shaping is not something the state should ignore in its procurement processes. The ISPs who shape traffic will eventually start to throttle VPNs once customers realize they can get Netflix faster over a VPN without having to buy the "Streamer's Package" (or whatever the ISPs will call it). VPNs used by government employees working remotely will get throttled, too. So the state has a legitimate interest in discouraging traffic shaping.
I'm pretty sure a bunch of steel falling from orbit would show up on a military radar. They might have a lower radar cross section than a missile of similar destructiveness, but they won't be invisible.
Hyperion Bay only ran for one season in 1998-99. I remember it because they tried to dramatize the process of finishing up a release. The managers were screaming at the tech guys to "FIND THE BUG!!" and they showed screens of text flying by too fast to read. 10 seconds before the release window closes, they find the bug (presumably using "grep --recursive BUG *.c") and remove it and ship the release. It was hysterical.
An innocent buyer would have tried to register the car (assuming a forged title was supplied), and when he or she did that, the VIN would have been reported stolen. Whoever drove that car knew something was up.
Of course hotels do this. You can even call a hotel, say that you're from a competitor, and ask for a tour, and they'll probably give it to you. They know that customer service can't be hidden.
The hotel may not be willing to hand over the source code to its billing system, or their customer list, but information like, "how spacious are their rooms" is easily acquired.
Waymo isn't a prosecutor and cannot file criminal charges - only the district attorney (or US attorney for federal cases) can do that. Waymo has always been free to file a report with the police or FBI. Levandowski pleading the Fifth means that he won't implicate himself or face perjury charges.
I think this will delay the litigation slightly while the judge leans on Levandowski to produce the documents in question.
What would be interesting is whether Levandowski will be granted immunity from criminal charges, in which case his Fifth Amendment rights will no longer apply. He will have to testify about all the shenanigans he's been up to (if any) and can still face civil penalties. If he lies, he may face perjury charges.
Google, Microsoft, et al don't have standing to sue the outsourcing companies for visa abuse.
It's not just low-level IT - as the links above show, it's entire departments. Even it was targeting low-level IT only, that makes it harder for new college graduates to find jobs - everybody has to start somewhere.
On long road trips, having an in-car hotspot would be a huge benefit when traveling with kids. I used to have an unlimited 4G LTE hotspot and the kids would spend the whole trip watching movies on Amazon Prime. (This was before Amazon Prime allowed downloading of movies.)

What's remarkable in the Lion Air flight is that the company didn't ground the plane until the angle-of-attack sensor problem was resolved.

Good news - Amazon's one-click patent has expired. You may resume development of the single button. I feel safer already.
Every.damn.time.

He has 4.4 million subscribers. He is a YouTube star, he's not just attempting to be one.

And "the guys inside" can include the guards working at the bank doing the killing, i.e., of one of the perpetrators.

Why the quotes around exploit?

You missed the line in the summary: "Her sex-work identity is not on the social network at all".

Where did you get the idea that money changed hands?
A good example of H-1B abuse is when Disney make their employees train their foreign replacements. It's blatantly obvious that the outsourcing company committed fraud on the H-1B application. There's no way to claim that US-based workers cannot be found for a job that those workers are currently performing. The Disney workers sued and lost.
