There's no reason your Uber driver couldn't do the same thing. And, in fact, they do. They skip toll roads, use alternative routes not provided by the app navigation, take "shortcuts" that end up being longcuts, etc.
The most common taxi ride I take is a flat fare no matter the route or how long it takes(JFK to Manhattan)
I've worked at the border. This isn't true. People coming in with false documents or claiming a false identity is fairly common. Now, perhaps people also try to enter by other means, that doesn't mean that they don't also try to enter through the ports. Using coyotes or crossing in the desert is much more likely to result in a dangerous/negative outcome than showing up at the border with false documents or claiming you lost your documents and claiming Credible Fear asylum, so plenty of people don't do that(or can't afford it.. coyotes can be expensive)
As someone mentioned, it will speed up processing. The line coming into the US at busy crossings is fairly long. San Ysidro, Calexico, El Paso, etc can have hour long waits at peak times.
Secondarily, it's for security. They already use other automated targeting devices in advance of you arriving at the border as well(such as license plate scanners). It will help tracking smugglers(capturing patterns of behavior that can be profiled), capturing people with falsified documents, identify people with criminal records/people who have been deported, etc.

And if we want to look at automaking efficiency with robotic integration, it's not like Toyota hasn't designed their production lines for maximum efficiency already.. oh, wait, that's what they specialize in and what they've built their reputation on. They've recently removed some robots from their production line because people did the jobs better and faster, with less waste.
So, what's the impact of the slowdown and delays? I lived in Brooklyn in 2013 and things were pretty smooth and reliable. The only train with any real issues was the G train, aka the Ghost train, because no one ever saw it show up
I travel for work(along with my coworkers). When I'm in a city like DC where we're not allowed to have cars because of the outrageous hotel parking fees and solid mass transit options, I'll stay somewhere like Crystal City or Pentagon City to be hooked up to the rail and bus systems, but most of my coworkers now stay away from the mass transit and take Uber everywhere, even though it takes longer to take a car to get basically anywhere in the city. Convenience of access tends to overcome everything else for people, unfortunately
Win10 is not much different than Win7 in most respects. You can completely ignore the Metro interface for the most part, unlike in Win8. Win10, at this point, is equal to or superior to Win7 in many respects.
However, because Windows 10 is not compatible with many of the Air Force's existing systems, a significant number of computers will need to be replaced in order to hit the deadline.
Many of the systems are incompatible with Windows 10, not the other way around. One piece of govt software I work with uses a version of Crystal Reports that's about 15 years old, and hasn't been supported for ages. The reports do not function on newer drivers, and there's no compatible driver for W10, so users of that software have held off, but they're being forced off this year. And don't get me started on COM+
Without better disposal/recycling options, it's going to continue to be like this. People aren't going to put in the effort to search out methods of recycling electronics, hazardous waste like propane tanks, etc, and people don't have space to store that shit to wait for the once a month/quarter/whatever event for actually doing so. The fact that the trash and recycling service that we already pay for doesn't do this is astounding to me.
"I'm going to put a bunch of people out of business and create a new way to do business in this vertical" is not a way to endear yourself to people in this day and age. Walmart, Amazon, Google, etc didn't get to where they are by telling people they're going to rape and pillage entire industries. They got their by hiding that fact until their momentum couldn't be stopped.
This is a completely different argument. Your utopia doesn't exist. This Amazon situation is happening in the world as it exists today and must be evaluated in such an environment.
If that was the case local tax rates would be illegal(including differences like some states having no property tax, sales tax, etc), Delaware wouldn't be a corporate liability haven, and East Texas wouldn't be an IP troll haven. Congress has no power to enforce what you are talking about.
But experts who have studied Amazon's business practices say having one of the most tax-allergic corporations in the world come to your hometown might not actually be a good thing.
Sure, they'll ask for incentives, but 50000 employed people including a significant number of them being well paid makes a big difference in things like property tax, land value, etc.

Bingo. And fuck off Amazon. I'm not letting you in my house.

OnePlus already responded and debunked his claim. This guy spreads FUD about OnePlus like it's some kind of personal vendetta.
Not the first time they confuse "what you technically could do" with "what you actually should do"
Fuck it. Cut the wires.

What is the IME supposed to do? What is the supposed benefit for it being there?
It's HTML standard functionality.
Don't use Chrome. There, fixed.
Like, say, the RSA token I carry for 2FA?
I work for a massive HR software company. At least half of our developers are 40+. Some have been with the company for 25+ years.
