I have made this exact point. People fail to project human behavior into a scenario. A self driving car won't take you just "to work". You will send it to pick up the kids from school, groceries from the store you've ordered, send it to the shop for oil changes/maintenance/repairs while you're at work, release it into the "uber pool" to generate revenue...what you will NOT do is leave it at work where tweekers can break in for coins, pay for monthly parking. Then it will return to bring you home
Essentially you're autonomous vehicle will make 2 trips daily rather than 1 which has the instant effect of doubling traffic.
Autonomous proponents say - "yes, but autonomous traffic is faster and more efficient!" - that is true ONLY if there are zero humans on the road. Which implies we'll need to legislate 100% autonomous car adoption OR build "autonomous only" roads. Neither of which have been thought about or would likely pass.
It's like sharing lawn tools with the neighbor - it never works out. He keeps them too long, returns them dirty, uses up all the gas, doesn't check the oil... If you're going to get cranky over a $300 lawn mower, you're going to go ballistic over a $100K "shared" vehicle.
meanwhile over the past 20 years, the RIAA was busying suing single mothers to convince everyone that the decline in CD sales was due to copy write infringement and piracy..
This is not about a server failure, router failure, logic bomb, or hacking incident - this is a hosting company deciding to flip a switch and simply turn off your entire infrastructure because an automated process determined "something" in your entire ecosystem was abnormal......
Frack that. never. not 1 dollar.
Too Late, this was already stolen in the OPM (Office Of Personnel Management) breach. Remember, the OPM breach compromised every single federal worker, military person, and everyone who had gone through a top secret back ground check - as all FS86 forms were stolen. Most high level officers have gone through this.
When the only way the GOP can win is via gerrymandering, and using the SCOTUS's appointed by the GOP to affirm their gerrymandering... the US is no longer a Country of "we the people"
Spin it any way you want.
carbon is an element. It does not "come from" plants but rather from stars, like most other elements. Carbon Dioxide is a compound product of respiration.
Nice sentiment, but the Oligarchy that actually runs the US won't let that happen. Look at the facts, the GOP hasn't won the popular vote for a 1st term president since Bush Sr, (1989). Both Bush Jr & Trump lost popular vote in term 1. It's much harder to unseat a President for term 2. Given the GOP rank and file completely overlook the lies that routinely flow from Czar Trumpkin the 1st, in all probability , we're going to see Trumpkin part Deux. Why, because he's busy eliminating all those "pesky job killing regulations", like clean air, water, environmentalism, personal protections, human rights... all those things that can be very profitable by violating.
And here's the real key - he's appointing judges that follow his line of thinking. In this specific case, that wasn't the point, but it is true for the recent Supreme Court decisions. Had the GOP done their job while Obama was still President and appointed an Obama nominee, decisions today would be quite different. The landscape and society has effectively been changed for a generation.
As Trumpkin is busy eviscerating environmental & human protections (you know, those pesky job killing regulations) while reinforcing intellectual property protections for larger corporations, mergers and large companies buying small companies becomes more attractive.
Reagan raised taxes 11 times when it became clear that trickle down (aka voodoo) economics didn't work. The difference today the Oligarchy truly doesn't want anything to "trickle down", they want to keep every last drop for themselves...
Go back to the Bush administration and Colin Powell had a personal server too... and he too used it for business...
1,2,3 the righties scream.. but, but, but, but, but..... HILLARY!!!!
Meanwhile the IG report drops and results in no new indictments, no firings... a big nothing burger... yawn.
actually, I lied - so the the US has sentenced 2 Germans to prison... that's for violating US laws in the US... Germans have sentenced no one as of yet.
If Nasa didn't release the data, Trumpkin would get around to deleting it all and claiming it's all BS. Like all the Government data related to global warming.
"sources".... same sources who claim the Earth is flat?
You realize that Trump is in office because the Dem's were stupid enough to put Hillary on the ticket... had it been ANYONE else, (except maybe a socialist), the Oval Office would have been handed to the Democratic Party.
Too bad the Germans didn't get so incensed when - every single one - of their automotive companies lied about diesel emissions and wrote software specifically to fool testing....
Recycling is really someone else buying your garbage. It make some people "feel good" with the concept that someone might be pulling something useful out of used toilet paper- but those same people likely buy the cheapest product which isn't anything recycled. Let's admit that "recycling" is bullsh!t and move on.
No, this is about licensing. Part of the new ELU wil be change to assume intellectual property rights from any project posted to GitHub. Micro$oft will own everything. Then charge for it's use.

Yet another "smart device" who's real purpose it to monitor and monetize the masses. "Smart Devices" are not for consumers - their for corporations.

Absolute proof neither political party is actually "for the people". Our "elected" officials are pawns of the Oligarchy.
she doesn't have any money left. There's no value in pardoning her.

Comey wasn't Secretary of State sending top secret information pertaining to foreign Governments....
Keep things in perspective.

It's being pushed as the elixir that might...
Blockchain is a complicated solution in search of a problem.
Sorry - COWARD - not 1 German, or anyone, went to jail....
Post proof or go away.
