I don't see why they would need this.. if the rates you get aren't competitive... why even do it... move on and do something else... it's not like uber is the only option in seatle...
Uber might not be providing standard things like medical/dental/retirement/vacation benefits to their drivers. A union could demand such things.
Living in Houston, TX with Verizon as my provider; I've never had a dropped call while talking (hands free) and driving for over an hour in and around the city. Perhaps it's just the increase in cell tower coverage and technology, but not having dropped calls is a massive, HUGE improvement over what it was 10 years ago!
Back in the analog cell phone days, coverage in my hometown seemed about as good as it is now. However, call quality on analog cell phones was far better than modern devices. No digital VoIP sound ever. And no, I don't recall ever hearing any "static". Analog was great for transmitting analog information (voice) but you can't oversell the spectrum as much so it's less attractive to providers. The fact that consumers got tricked into thinking digital was better for audio transmission is kind of humorous.
Cry me a damn river, Rud. If you don't want a pi zero, don't buy one. I'm betting most people already have all the extra crap laying around they'd need. I know I do. What niche does it serve? People who want a $5 pi and have the stuff necessary. And guess what, the $35 pi won't work without stuff like a hdmi cable, power supply, and sd card.
And corrupted SD cards being the Achilles heel for a device that's about software development? Maybe a software developer could write a shutdown script? Perhaps you could add a battery and sensor to the gpio and detect power loss for a clean shutdown? It's a DEVELOPMENT product.
It's ridiculous that in 2015 someone is selling a video service where you can't just use whatever player you want to.
Then what non-ridiculous method of conditional access to video would be acceptable to the companies that fund production of feature films?
The site could require authentication, and use SSL pretty easily. If you're referring to some pipe dream of preventing users from recording the video you're fooling yourself. With a modern video card you can record anything displayed on the screen. For example if you've got an nvidia card, you hit F9, and viola. I just tested - works fine with netflix. nVidia calls it shadowplay, AMD calls it raptr (I think). I guess intel is a player in the gpu world now as well.. You can also use fraps or probably a handful of other softwares to do the job.
And it's entirely possible that you won't find someone to modify open source software.
I'm not sure if you've looked at job search sites. There are no shortage of programmers available for every language in the US. All you need is one guy who knows the language the OSS was written in and the money to pay him in order to make your desired changes. Even if it's something under draconian management like the Linux kernel, you could always fork it.
Software is software. If it's possible to do with "free" (open) software, it's possible to do with proprietary. The difference is who you pay to do the work.
Many software houses do not offer customer solutions or implement features based on customer feedback. Microsoft is an example of a large firm that does this (despite claims to the contrary). It's entirely possible the vendor writing their comment software is unwilling to comply.
They also deal with the fleet sales department rather than the retail sales department, and the fleet people just look at the numbers and figure out the dealer's markup and make a fairly quick response.
The best technique is to buy a car out-of-state though. Sales tax is paid to your state, not to the selling dealer's state, and there is no county or city sales tax in the equation. On top of that, if your state requires that the sales tax be based on the MSRP rather than on the negotiated price, this technique makes the sales tax price reflect the actual price, not an inflated MSRP.
In some states, like Florida, there are some significant fees to register a car that was purchased out of state.
My daughter is a Shriners' patient. I've taken her to the Tampa hospital for telemedicine visits on numerous occasions. I've discussed telemedicine with the doctors and other staff because i was interested.
For security, they aren't using internet - they're using ISDN lines and direct dial connections. Obviously this means the bandwidth requirements are tiny since it can work over ISDN.
Even the high end videoconferencing system they bought was insufficient in video quality. The camera just didn't draw enough light and have sufficient optical zoom for high quality zoomed in video. They had to buy an external video camera and cable it to an aux input port on the system. You could probably do what was needed using a modern DSLR with a good lens.
Further, we went to a hospital. This not only ensured the right camera equipment was available to the patient. It also allowed the specialist doctor to instruct local non specialists on how/what to do for minor procedures.
The whole thing worked out great, but it was slightly more involved than I thought it would be. Judging by other comments on this post, most people don't understand this.

They do not. You don't need a credit card. They even provide instructions on how to do this:

Did you read the summary and notice it is about a kid? Did you read the web page you linked?
A credit card is required to set up accounts for children. Learn more about Apple IDs for kids.
Unless you're suggesting he violate the apple TOS?
So may I presume that all SJW's who try to silence all dissenting opinions to their ideology will be banned?
I hadn't thought of that. There could potentially be a positive outcome to this news!
Censoring free speech is awful. Not as bad as islam, but still awful. This is a mistake.

He's just another wanna-be Republican nigger that want's nothing more than to destroy the US.
Who cares if he's a turd. This is the only good news on the H1-B front that I've heard.. maybe ever.
Othewise Itachi will be pretty pissed.
It's the bullet that is used by the world's most popular rifle; the AK-47.

We lack skilled engineers to solve this problem. If the government would only increase the H1-B limit, we could lick this in no time!
This explains why the boys at Fermilab lost funding for their toys a few years ago...

Well he did get his fortune from PayPal, arguably one of shadiest companies on the internet.
True, but my understanding was that most of the shadiness came along after he sold it. Do I have it wrong?
