Don't (at least some) truck drivers own their truck?
Buy an autonomous truck, sit back and rake in the dough.
A good model would be to train some drivers in maintenance and repair. It's like the old automated plane joke - there will be a pilot and a dog, the pilot to make sure nothing goes wrong and the dog to bite the pilot if he touches anything
You post two examples of questions you asked your applicants.
Exactly zero of them applied directly to the actual work they would be doing.
I am fucking sick and tired of being asked moronic questions during interviews - and horrified when people I work with ask them. Why do you feel the need to show people how much they don't know, and pretend you are smarter than them?
If you want to pretend to want to find out how smart your applicant is, by all means continue. Otherwise just administer an IQ test and have them write some code related to the product they will be working on. Then, for gods sake, ask them about themselves.
The interview is not about you -- it's about the applicant. When you find a decent one you do want *them* to actually want to work with *you* right?
I hear ya. But let me ask you this - are the insurance companies going to pay life insurance claims based on the evidence being used to make this announcement?
I'm not saying they need to find bodies, but appearing to simply rely on this new data analysis just feels wrong. The way I read this was that, based on this new analysis the plane was in the southern corridor and based on that "ping arc" they were not near land. Therefore everyone is dead.
I mean, that is my point. I am not saying the analysis is wrong, just that it felt weird to me that they announced all were lost due to that piece of information. Do you really tell family members that everyone is dead without having found wreckage? That just struck me as, at the very least, poor PR timing and at worst trying to sweep all of this away.
asmkm22 makes a good point, the Malaysian government is probably not used to the pressure of criticism and they just want this over with. Which, if true, makes this deplorable conduct.
He is good at what he does, and I can't figure it out either
1. Comes up with believable (albeit conspiratorial) story lines railing against government and big industry, and that you have proof 2. Say your business model is a protection against intrusive government and industry 3. Profit???
Me: "Here's a pen dad, sign the picture for them" Dad: "Why do they want my signature?" Me: "You were an astronaut when you were younger, you went to the moon" Dad: "What?" Me: "Yes, you went to the moon." Dad: "We've been to the moon? That is amazing!!!" Me: "Yes Dad, and *you* have been to the moon" Dad: "*I've* been to the moon?!?" Me: "Absolutely, see that picture you are signing? That is you" Dad: "OK. Why am I signing this?" Me: "Your were an astronaut when you were younger, you went to the moon"...
Ah, one more thing we introduced to Europe: personal hygiene... it's a work in progress, I suppose
Naturally crooked teeth are not unhealthy.
It's only unhealthy when your wife's lower bicuspid is lacerating my penis. Hey-oooo!
Obviously Americans are full of their own ideas of what is normal and correct, and we all get to hear about it:)
Yep. Suck it losers. Go have some tea, spell color wrong, add e's to the end of words that don't need it and think you have not been conquered by McDonald's and Coca-Cola. My advice? Buy bigger pants, you're gonna need 'em after you get done shoving our culture down your throat and washing it down with liquid America.
You guys are so *cute* when you get all proud and stuff!
Well, it's all the brits fault to begin with. You *had* to have your stupid tea tax didn't you? See how silly that sounds now? Yeah, now look at you. McDonalds on every corner, getting fat and fundamentalist. Look at what you have wrought. I could have been a nice, loyal, queen-loving, crooked-teeth-having, meat-pie eating subject, but noooooo you had to be a tough guy.
Not sure how big of a market you are talking about here, nor the material(s) involved - for example, is it a straight textbook or are there lessons, syllabi(?), etc
Create a free version and a paid version. The paid version should obviously provide some substantial improvement and/or additional features from the free version. Perhaps those lessons and/or syllabi
If this is an on-going process of improvement then at some point you could make your older versions free and charge for the newer version -- even have some sort of a step down. Say full price for v3.0, half price for v2.0 and free for v1.0
I mean, thats how software has done it for years and that seems to be sticking around so it must work, right?

Depends. Which one?
>> There are so many things wrong with your premise
OK. Please point the many other things wrong out to me.
>> there will be no independent truckers, the "Walmart" of automated trucking will make sure of that
Ah, now I get it. Fear is nothing to be ashamed of - just don't pretend it defines a reality the rest of us live in

Welcome to America, sir. I hope your transition to our country's customs and traditions go smoothly.

Did the Malaysian government just make a statement to the families based on a statistical probability?
Or did they make that statement based on debris found that was positively identified to the aircraft.
That is really the point here - if you destroy a currency the currency is worthless, so why steal it unless you don't care about the value?
Who wouldn't care about the value? Governments. Who also have a vested interest in seeing BT go away.

now that is humor! well done, sir
you get to name a robot
i'm thinking "coral roborts"
or will that make the robot claim to faith-heal the reefs and then create a kickstarter page of its own to raise money for itself?
Watch some Ghostrider vids if you're not convinced.
You, sir, are a terrorist and an awful human being.

If they rolled out a way for people to watch films the day they're released on their home theater for $10, it'd be huge.

could not agree with you more. as much as i respect their intelligence and creativity and all that ...
but they are still the worst monsters on the planet ... ok, well besides us.
and just because i can't find an article about dolphins raping humans does not mean that it doesn't happen. you have been warned
Any potential treatment is lightyears beyond what is available currently. This is awesome news!
uh, just don't get vaccinated. duh. pretty simple.
"(Not that it exculpates this behavior.)"
You French have some purty words.
...hiring adults. The behavior you're worried about sounds like the kind of crap you'd get from high school kids or college freshman.
Exactly.
Wish I had mod points on this one.
I'm confused. You actually keep track of problems with your personal projects in the hopes of completing them one day?
I must be doing it wrong because I start a project and as soon as i get to the first major design issue, or meal time, i quit.
so i don't really ever have any bugs, per se. but i do have an svn with a sh*tload of half ass projects that i can let you have real cheap.
