The third phase, which according to the graph the company expects to be sometime in 2021 or 2022, will be when all Lyft rides will be completed by a fully autonomous car. Shortly after that phase begins, car ownership will see a steep drop-off, according to Zimmer. Zimmer, who has long been a vocal proponent of ending car ownership, set a date for the death of the personally owned car in major U.S. cities: 2025.
So he wants to totally rewrite the entire legal basis for cars, road rules and insurance in the US within the next 9 years? And expect that in a country where people almost idolize their cars that they are suddenly going to say "hell yes.. I'm selling my car tomorrow!"
Where can I get some of what he's smoking?
Alternatively its purely a BS reaction to Uber to try and remind people that Lyft exists and is relevant.
What TFS doesn't do a good job of explaining is that with Swift 3, Apple has essentially forked the project into two parts.
Stop confounding us with facts! I was halfway through sharpening my pitchfork when I saw your comment and now I'll also have to cancel that Amazon order for my torch oil.
Why would they fix this? More broken phones == more new phones sold in their mind. If it happens after 2 years, in many places that is just outside of the warranty period on your product so they are not legally obligated to _fix_ your phone anymore.
My counter example is that 2 months ago Apple replaced the logic board in my early 2011 MacBook Pro totally for free, under the replacement plan for the design flaws in that system. And I didn't even buy this computer new, I bought it as a refurb from Apple, and the Apple Care that I bought when I purchased the computer had run out a long ago as well.
Xiaomi, which was founded just six years ago, sells its smartphones in just nine countries, but China is far and away its biggest market, accounting for the vast majority of the 70 million smartphones it sold in 2015.
So on a place where people say that this is a US based site (and suck up any lack of pandering to you foreign, socialist idiots who can't understand why the US uses its own set of units) Slashdot posts a story about something that is culturally limited to a non-American country and then doesn't provide any context!
Simple example: Suppose an AI driver gets into a position where it has to hit either a young kid, or an old lady. Who does it hit? Should it hit the old lady since she's already lived a full life? Should it hit the kid because they bounce better than old ladies, and the overall chance of saving them both is higher?
But what if the kid has late stage terminal Leukemia? And the old lady has just come back from winning the gold medal in the triathlon at the World Masters games?
Which one should the AI choose to mow down? How can it tell? Think about the poor AI, don't put it in this position!!! It's all too hard!!!!
So there isn't going to be any dirt about things the RNC did behind the scenes to help Trump.
That may be the case, but wouldn't that just shift the target from the RNC to Trump himself? Given everything that Trump has been accused of, there is sure to be some juicy tidbits floating around somewhere. (and I wish that I had thought of your point before my own reply to the OP)
Now, if a similar trove of documents from the RNC was dumped, you can bet the DOJ would be all over it.
...which leads one to ask why that isn't also happening?
That's a question I've asked before but never gotten a good answer. But I think there are 4 possibilities (some more likely than others, but I don't have the knowledge to pick which is the current situation)
1. The RNC can't be hacked 2. The RNC can be hacked, and is clean. 3. The people doing the hacking are anti-DNC/anti-Hillary and haven't even tried to hack the RNC 4. The people doing the hacking are actually pro-Hillary (or at least anti-Trump) and have the goods on the RNC, but are waiting to dump them just before the election so that they remain fresh in voters minds, while the anti-DNC stuff is long forgotten.
FB is far from a monopoly and they are not a charity.
FB has just shy on 24% of the entire Earth's human population connected to it. Do you want revisit your idea that that they are not a gatekeeper in social media?
For comparison, twitter only has accounts for about 4.3% of the Earths population.
And you read the Slashdot comments with no moderation?
In general no, but that is not because I am worried about being offended by what exists at -1. More so that I come back to conversations later and pick out the +4 and +5 comments to get exposed to ideas that the people have deemed good.
And on occasion I do read at -1 (especially when I am back tracking to find out why someone replied like they did)
Would you really? You'd spend $125 a pop just on the off chance you'd find something valuable? And since you don't want it tracked back to you, you'd use a stolen identity and credit card each time?
I said "rental car clerks" because they are the ones that have free access to every single car and it doesn't make sense to rent a car for an entire day for a 30 second operation.
Considering that CEO fraud amounts are in the hundreds of millions annually, $125 a day for a car is peanuts.
And why would you need to change false IDs all the time? Do you really think that a victim is going to say 6 months down the road "Hmm.. my contact information got skimmed somewhere.. I bet it was that rental car I used 6 months ago was where I leaked. I better get the cops to investigate every other person who rented that same car after me." By that time the money is long gone.
Even if I did share my contact list or SMS messages with the car, what are rental car clerks going to do with my contacts or a text message from my sister that reads "When are you going to be here?"?
Who says it will be the rental company employees doing the mining?
If I was a nefarious person I would rental high end cars from major airports for a day and see if any business people used the car and left any juicy details in the info system that would be very useful for social engineering attacks.
I would hope that the rental company would reset the system in part of their cleanup/inspection after return, however.
+1, funny!
Oh, wait, you were serious? You're lucky if a rental company runs a vacuum cleaner over the floors before they turn the car over to the next renter. Cleaning data would be like so far down the list of stuff they do that "never" comes before it.
Too right. I once rented a car from Hertz that came with their branded GPS system (which I didn't need because I had my own system). Every time I started that car the Hertz GPS would flash up a message "Welcome [name of previous renter]" and showed me where she had been on all of her trips. I'm sure if I dug down I would have been able to find lots more information about here. As it was I spent my time trying to figure out how to keep the damn thing turned off as it was a distraction that I didn't want.
From what I understand these types of factories manufacture products for multiple customers. If that is the case then this is a non-Apple story and amounts to Apple bashing. So can anyone list manufactures other than Apple that Pegatron services?
The headline should really be "Unsafe driver kills pedestrian". If it wasn't Pokemon Go, it would have been texting or some other action that caused this muppet to kill someone.
If my instagram feed is nonexistent, does that make me a nihilist? Or is it indicative of me not basing my worth on what random people think about my every waking moment? (Or is that twitter or Facebook.. its had to tell these days)
Have you ever considered where your old phone goes after upgrade? Here's a hint.. it doesn't just magically disperse back into its raw materials with no impact to the environment. E-Waste is a big problem, and not having the latest and greatest is an important part of tackling it.
Remember the3 R's: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. The are actually in this order for a reason. First you reduce, then you try and reuse. Recycling is only the last step in the process after the other 2 have steps have been exhausted.

Men In Space started broadcasting on September 30, 1959.
And if you are in the US you can see episode airing on Comet TV
That's not a fluctuation in gravity though.
There's a "yo momma" joke in there somewhere
It's a trans-NEPTUNIAN object. Not trans-NEPTUNIUM. Neptunium is an element (Np. Atomic Number 93).
Its a direct quote from TFA so technically TFA say something like (with my emphasis)
Scientists have noticed the tiny trans-Neptunium[sic] object emitting X-rays, which, if it is confirmed, is both a baffling and exciting discovery.
But given that we have script kiddies and not editors, we get what we get.

Don't use FB... problems solved.

FB has just shy on 24% of the entire Earth's human population connected to it. Do you want revisit your idea that that they are not a gatekeeper in social media?
For comparison, twitter only has accounts for about 4.3% of the Earths population.
That position leaves you blind to groupthink. Curation doesn't work well with controversial topics.
Thats why I go back and see what prompted the groupthink decision.

Sounds like all this will do is allow the Instagram users to wrap a virtual towel around their heads.

Shit. Does that apply to here as well??
