Paper worth is not the same thing as money in the bank. Bezos would love nothing more then to liquidate his assets so he can fund his pet projects but he can only sell about 1Billion worth of his Amazon stock holdings a year without negatively affecting the stock price, at this rate it will take about a century to liquidate his assets and that's assuming that the price of Amazon stock remains stable
Just remember to factor in the price of a replacement battery in the equation. Unfortunately batteries degrade naturally over time due to the cathode oxidizing. The number of charging cycles and temperature conditions greatly affect this process.
FYI If you are storing a device with a battery charge it to %50 and leave it in cool place. Unfortunately even under ideal conditions the battery will continue to degrade
Term limits have little to do with the quality of leadership, what they are meant to do is to allow for the training and promotion of new qualified leadership at every level of the organization. If everyone ends up stuck at their posts because there is no opportunities for advancement then the whole organization eventually stagnates.
.
The U.S military has a complicated mandatory retirement system for high ranking officers to prevent exactly this sort of stagnation
One unique aspect of Communist China vs the rest of failed or stagnant Communist states is the large number of peaceful leadership changes.
Even if you ask that Overdraft protection be disabled on your account, they will simply charge you a insufficient funds fee. As if it costs them anything to bounce a check. All the banks run this scam, so much for the "free market"
This is part of the long-going trend of millennial's moving away from casual dinning, to saving money for splurging on Instagram worthy "experience" dinning. Practically all casual dinning chains have been experiencing declining in-store traffic for the past decade. As in any competitive industry, they must adapt to the consumers ever-chaning preferences or risk being left in the dust. In NYC we have started seeing the rise of the delivery-only establishments. The delivery apps allow them to advertise and sell their products without the expense of a "storefront," which is heavily reliant on liquor/drinks sales for profitability
Way to call me out on my "ignorance" while offering nothing more to support your position then insults and self-professed expertise. The Midwest has been professing the ruin of the high tax coasts states for decades now, yet still here we are waiting for the great Corporate exodus to the Midwest, while San Francisco's and New York's real-estate markets keeps skyrocketing
You can get cheap unskilled labor in the Midwest. The educated, experienced labor force you need to run a multi-national is hard to find there. The lower taxes and cheaper living in those states come with the trade-off of lower spending on education, infrastructure and cultural institutions all of which are very important to the highly sought out employees companies like Amazon need. Most companies that look into moving into cheaper states end up scraping their plans once they figure out that most of their core employees are unwilling to move to the proposed locations even with generous incentives
You seem to have the huge misconception that hunter-gather's simply wonder around aimlessly, wherever the path may take them. That is completely untrue, tribes had home ranges which they knew like the back of their hands. If they had to travel outside known territory, where they didn't know where water, hunting grounds, danger areas, safe places to camp were located than they would definitely not be doing 500 miles a year. Most of their time would be spent scouting, gathering resources and planning the next (short) leg of the journey
A good movie is not necessarily enjoyable and vice-versa. This is especially true for niche categories. I have turned off plenty of Oscar winning movies and yet seat thru countless hours of horrible sci-fi, quite contently. Netflix knows this, that's why they turned off the star rating system.
Critics should probably follow suite and drop rating systems as well. You will gain a lot more insight on weather this is the sort of movie you will enjoy by spending a few minutes reading a critical review then by looking up % on rotten-tomatoes
Perhaps you don't care if everyone knows you "got the clap back in 1979," but you might not want everyone to know about your gender-reassignment surgery, your time at a mental health institution, your rehab stints, HIV+ status etc,etc
Ahh yes, they have autopilot technology when everyone else only has assisted driving, not to mention rocked powered Tesla's that can fly to Mars.
Nope no, shenanigans there, no sir, just amazing technology
You mean "illegal taxi service" right? I don't care if people use these services, I am on the side of the taxi companies! They provide such great service.
The antiquated medallion (licensed taxi) systems should be phased out. They were implemented to ease congestion from taxi's clogging major roadways trying to pick up fares and to ensure that customers were not being cheated/swindled. Apps do the same even more efficiently
The headline should read "Google Home and Chromecast Could Be Overloading" the horribly implemented network stack of you routers software. Do yourself a favor and get a router supported by dd-wrt/open-wrt/tomatoe or even better one that already uses one of those already
Or, you know, adopt them into loving families, because we are not actually wild animals and have empathy, love and altruism...
which are balanced out by selfishness, apathy and indifference
In species which rely on cooperation for survival, the well being of the group (which increases chances of survival) are carefully balanced with personal well being (which increases the chances of reproductive success)
Most adoptions come from blood relatives or families which have tried but failed to add children to their family
The problem they couldn't solve is how to load/unload all the passengers efficently. How fast you can get in/out of the gate is just as important as how many passengers you can carry
Because at the end of the day I can uninstall Uber but once the government mandates phone tracking for safety they'll know where you are forever for whatever reason they want.
They don't have to track your phone unless you dial 911. This is baseless FUD. Uber doesn't need your location unless you call for Uber. It is a trivial exercise to prevent either Uber or the government from receiving location data unless you contact.
If the government starts proposing a law to track you at all times then by all means get worked up about it. (yes that includes the NSA) That's a very different discussion. If I'm calling 911 I WANT them to have an accurate fix on my location. This should be a non issue. Fears about government overreach in this case are misplaced and demonstrably costs lives.
First. Any law mandating gps use for e911 would most certainly make it illegal to have a turn-off option. Unlike Uber, Government can do that. If you think I'm just being paranoid, try and find an option to block Presidental alert level notifications on any phone.
Second. Do you really believe that once the capability is in place, DHS will not go to a FISA court to request sealed warrants for location tracking using the system? Even local PD gets triangulation warrants nowdays
Write an app that transmits your location when 911 is being called. Advertise it to people to install it on their phone for the times when they need it. Watch people not install it because they are afraid their government might track them, but they're more than happy to hand the very same information to Uber, Facebook and everyone else giving them... well, basically nothing.
That's because there is one purpose Government can misuse information for that even the most nefarious Corporation can't.
Lock you away in a 6x8 prison cell

If I was your government, I'd probably shit on you, too.
They have and continue to do so on many innocent people
I'm sure they will be prying the steering wheel out of your cold dead hands because "I like driving" the same as they had to pry the stick shift out of everyone's cold dead hands, because that was real driving. It took a while but today most people don't even know how to use a clutch, never mind own one. It is not that hard to image one day, when the millennial's are old and grey, they will be telling their grand children what that round thing in their 2020 "classic car" does
Being knowledgeable about computers does not automatically make you a "power user" same as being a mechanic doesn't automatically make you a drag-strip racer and playing Skyrim over Christmas most definitely doesn't make you a gamer.
Seriously thou, I can't fathom why anyone not living in a shoebox in NY or SF would not prefer to use a desktop with a big screen(s), comfortable keyboard and plenty of power at least some of the time?. Especially a "power user"

It is not a "fossil" if its still alive Well perhaps with the noticeable exception of my great aunt
At least we still have physics as a real science.
You silly physicists with you sample sizes and your 5 sigma results. Math now that's real science, its proof or its nothing!

Until of course everyone that has "opted out" is looked at with suspicion because the "vast majority" has nothing to hide

FYI because medallions are so expensive the taxi drivers can't afford them and "rent" the taxis for exorbitant fees
