... is that in space the comic relief character dies at the beginning, right after the black / minority character.
So yes, I can see how adding a funny guy to the mix can improve the crew's morale.
In United States v. Paramount Pictures, Inc.

it was decided that studios owning their own theaters was a violation of antitrust regulations. The vertical integration of content production and distribution via streaming looks pretty much like and analog case. Not very likely that the US government would be so eager to enforce antitrust laws now as it was in the 1940s, though.
This seems to be related to the battery optimization mode introduced in Android 6 (also know ans "Doze"). It seem that when you turn off the phone screen immediately after taking a photo, Doze tries to optimize the battery usage too aggressively and that kills the camera background process while it is trying to save the photo in the background. This is especially noticeable when the HDR mode is on and extra processing is required.
Deactivating Doze for the Camera and Photos applications fixes the issue for me (This can be found in Setting -> Apps & notifications -> Special Apps Access -> Battery Optimization).
Like the original Isetta this car has four wheels. The wheels in the rear axle are more closely spaced than in the front axle. That's why it looks like a three wheeler in some of the pictures. See a diagram here: https://www.micro-mobility.com...
“People will have to go out and eat lunch with the rest of us”
Given that San Francisco is famous for the amount of human faces on the streets I'd say they should also ban restrooms in office buildings so people will have to go out and poop on the streets "with the rest of us"
if I get a call from an automated system I just hang up
This is because the vast majority of calls we get from automated systems now are unsolicited and aimed at parting us with our money.
On the other hand, businesses are eager to get the kind of calls that Google demoed. Plus the robot seemed very polite and down to business. I'm pretty sure client facing employees would love to talk to the Google AI bot instead of dealing with rude, incoherent, indecisive human customers.
People tend to believe that physics is applied math. It's not. The universe doesn't care about your math. General Relativity is a set of mathematical equations that were picked because they could model the observed experimental data. Yes, it proved to be a very accurate theory by predicting future experimental results decades after it was published. That doesn't mean that every single prediction will be true. So until an experiment can confirm these results, nothing has been "shown", as the headline implies. This doesn't mean these findings aren't relevant. On the contrary, finding these edge cases is what allows theories to be tested and be eventually replaced by a better model.
If I understand correctly these are just packaged web apps where resources (html + css + js) are bundled together and downloaded so the browser can execute them locally with no internet connection needed. If that's the case Firefox and Chrome have been doing this for years.
While what you say might be true for your area, it doesn't apply to Silicon Valley. For example, many cities in the San Francisco Peninsula have zoning regulations which greatly restrict density within blocks of transit infrastructure, like Caltrain, receiving millions from state and federal programs. It is very hard to justify those zoning regulations as being enacted for the collective benefit.
Your statement, apart from being incredibly racist (you regurgitate the Nazi concept of Lebensraum), is not even true. Affluent people frequently move to lower income neighborhoods displacing poorer families (usually minorities) that used to live there for generations. It's called "gentrification". There are also anti-gentrification regulations which are essentially the same thing as exclusionary zoning, but working on the opposite direction: artificial barriers preventing people with high income from living in a given area.
All true democracies limit majority rule to protect the rights of minorities. For example, it is not possible to enact regulations so people of a given race are not allowed to live in a given area. Likewise, it should not be possible to vote a law imposing an artificial income barrier that is well above to whatever the forces of the market dictate in order to prevent "undesirables" from moving to the neighborhood. And yet that is what most zoning regulations are for.

Every other company is trying to jump on the AI assistant bandwagon. So it's clever for Sony to try to differentiate themselves and implement their assistant in the form of a robot and not some sort of air freshener, specially when they can leverage their experience with the previous AIBO models. Of course, we would have to wait to see how well implemented this is, but as a concept it sure makes sense for Sony to develop this product.
The total cost of a presidential campaign is estimated to be around $2.65 billion. So now we are supposed to believe that the $100K spent on Facebook ads by Russia (56% of which were only seen *after* the election) were a key factor that determined the outcome?
This is a total non issue but it will be hammered non stop for months by the traditional media simply because they are dying and will seek any opportunity to make the government regulate Facebook, Google and the other digital companies that are killing them.
In addition to brakes I guess the pods can have some mechanism to unseal themselves from the tube in an emergency, letting the air pass from one side to the other in order to equalize the pressure on both sides.
My policy on flakes is a little bit more lenient. You flaked on me once? I can still hang out with you. You just lost your plan-ahead privileges. You want to grab some drinks? You mean right now? Sure! Oh, you mean on Thursday. OK, call me on Thursday and we can hang out if I'm free.

What's the idea here? If terrorists can disguise a bomb as a laptop, is it any safer if the explosion occurs in the plane cargo compartment? Would a timer trigger be easier to spot using x-rays, as opposed to a manual trigger? They plan to fly the luggage in a separate plane without passengers?
One of the nice things about Google Fi is that you get international data coverage at the same rates as in the US. So you can use your phone abroad freely and be sure you won't be incurring in outrageous charges. No more hunting for local prepaid SIM cards, no more changing your number. You're connected 100% of the time. It's one less thing to worry about while you travel.
On the other hand, according to the Xfinity FAQ "Using your phone while abroad (for calls, texts, or data) can lead to data roaming fees, which can add up in a hurry."
I'm not sure if prices in France are different, but based on US prices, if you were not a Netflix subscriber and wanted to watch a particular movie only available on Netflix you could subscribe to Netflix, watch the movie, and then cancel your subscription. In doing so you would have paid slightly less than the cost of a movie ticket. So I would argue that a movie only showing in Netflix is as available to the general public as a movie only showing in theaters.

Why stop there, indeed?
The Examiner quotes Supervisor Peskin saying

Old versions should be supported as long as sufficient numbers of people are actually willing to pay for whatever support they require.
That's exactly what's happening. According to the article and the summary, customers paying for a commercial license will continue to get updates.

Sorry to be pedantic but you just made a mistake and listed "No interaction with a human" under "downsides"
"I just browse it for the articles"

Who is still using a phone to make calls nowadays?
quick pass thru security check
... but not before a full body cavity search.

So thanks, but no thanks.
