Your comment about "nature of the emergency" made me think that the self driving Ubers in Pittsburgh can say "please state the nature of the emergency".
Bitcoins take like a week to transfer, right? What price do you get when you sell one, the price at the time the transaction starts, or the time it completes?
Except that it just wouldn't work. Going 1000 km/h (or about 277 m/s) at even the height of a tall mountain would turn your rocket into a pancake. The air is just too thick.
That isn't even considering the idea that the tube could be a vacuum. It would be like hitting a brick wall.
Rockets have to be really high up before they really turn on the speed.
Now, look at your "1000 km/h". That is exactly nothing. To reach the ISS you need to be going at over 27000 km/h. If your gun has a muzzle velocity of 1000 km/h, you would still need a huge rocket just to reach orbit.
Unless the "new guy" is just the next highest person in seniority and they plan to hire someone off the street. Then they can fire you whenever and the only difference is they save a year or so of the difference in salary.

OSM is notorious for not marking one way streets, either. I don't think that information is in the TIGER data they started from, so it required people to manually update.
Current residents don't necessarily benefit from higher prices. It makes taxes go up on people that don't want to move, and it makes rent skyrocket for people that can't afford to own.
It also limits mobility. People that would like to upgrade get priced out and stuck in a home that is too small or in an inconvenient location.

Now that Verifone has started fixing their shit software, chip can be faster. At least until it gives the customer a bunch of confusing messages.
Mobile means we get to relive all the same attacks we saw decades ago.
It's the other way around. Pre-Obamacare people would go to the ER for non emergencies since they have to treat them, and walk out on the bill.
Granted the implementation is so fucked up this probably happens anyhow and nothing has changed.

Yeah I always wonder about that. Wait times at hosptials in the USA are huge if it is not life threatening.
But what if you can't drive? I recently had kidney stones and live alone. I had to take an ambulance.
Actually I probably would have not gone Uber as I was pretty sure I was dying. Kidney stones are way worse than gall stones.
Lots of people think they are experts on the Dunning-Kruger effect.

The sheer number of comments similar to this one tells me that Slashdot is dead as far as "news for nerds" goes.

All of the rocket motors fire at once, and they don't do full power right at startup. So I think the idea is to ease in to it right at liftoff.
The SRB on the Space Shuttle was full power as soon as it was lit and it only had a problem... once.
Pretty much every rocket today is more efficient than Saturn V in cost. That thing was expensive, it was only the moon race that allowed it to happen.
What would you have said 10 years ago if I brought the idea of bringing back the first stage to land it at the pad where it was launched?
I would have said that this is doable and we should fund it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Ahh yes, I forgot to run it through my "business-speak" translator.

Millions of customers lost to password sharing? Pure bullshit.
Maybe those customers are tired of getting fucked over by the cable companies and the past few weeks have been the last straw.
Cable companies are losing money and are desperate to make it up. Bullshit and fuck you, that is insulting to our intelligence.

Na it's all Bitcoin now.
Anymore strawmen you want to have a swipe at?

If you visit Facebook, then I agree. The wireless data does cause cancer.
