I'm don't want to pay tips on a regular basis. Tips are for when someone goes out of their way. I'm really tired of the standard 20 percent and having to keep change on hand as well as to add it to calculations in my head. Standard service and price it into the product. I see tips and jobs where people get tips as the bottom of the barrel. Those employees are always cheated.
I'm done and disgusted with Feinstein. I don't care which powerful committees she is on anymore. She is against my interests. I will be voting republican for senators until she is out of office. Everyone knows how much I hate Trump... But if he were up against her I'd vote him in just to get rid of her. I don't really see a difference between Feinstein and the average Republican anymore.
Google knows we want real encrypted messaging on phones. It should always be an option to not be tracked. The better results of ____ is a pretext. All governments are going to pressure them to store conversation logs. They know people will notice a change of terms and are looking for the backlash to have something to show those governments.
It actually opens up a path for global EU reform. Things such as a particular country ability to override particular EU laws and regulations but with certain proportional financial penalties that ramp up over time; and or phase in's. And immigration reform. Namely the right of countries to refuse new immigrants. (If a country chooses to adopt a new immigrant they should stay in that country for years to adapt and prove they are civilly minded; I say 10 years. You need to show you are well adapted and civilly minded.) And actually funding for a real border. No country should be forced to accept immigrants even for humanitarian reasons.
Image the embarrassment of certain dictatorship committees if 2/3rds of counties voluntarily choose to not implement a policy but rather pay the penalty.
They can reform the EU on condition that the UK re-votes to stay in.
Does anyone in the government understand statistics rather that just protect their paycheck?
It's like please take out an insurance claim prior to boarding the plane just in case your spontaneously combust.
You do realize all the Chinese replacement batteries that have been replaced of people that have been boarding planes for the past 10 years is like 10,000 times the number of GN7's that have trickled onto the market?
There should be the "internet" and then there should be private networks on the side for prioritization. They should physically be different networks. Implemented kind of like how local and long distance were 10 years ago.
Problem there is getting everyone to cooperate on the "private" network since it will be free game and everyone will want their cut.
Then I can afford two instead of one much sooner. To me it isn't negative press but rather positive. The company actually takes accountability for it's products without prodding. And for the idiots that look at this as negative and would rather to an iPhone: good riddance. It will hopefully make the phones cheaper sooner which means more people will buy them. It's an amazing product.
I like removable batteries but those have hard thick outer cases which means less battery capacity. Integrated batteries are soft and flexible and thinly shielded. I like the new backpacks for the note which serve the purpose of a swapable battery. They are battery in a snap case which wirelessly charges the phone. This means you can have multiple backpacks and it's even easier than swapping batteries. Low on battery? Switch from your usual case to the backpack. Couldn't be easier.
The hardware is mature enough and ram is cheap. With PCI passthrough and modern video cards I can afford a 2% frame loss for games since that is all I use windows for. It also makes reboots cheap and easy while browsing the web on another VM. Furthermore it provides a sandbox for security risky applications like web browsers where it can be setup temp/read only and resets at boot. It makes it easy for me to migrate the windows installations so they are no longer locked down to a single machine. So I can setup games once for it's intended windows version and then forget about it. It also empowers easy incremental backups.
Only problematic thing is the cracks I still need to use for games I purchased. I'm one of the few holdouts from steam. I'm old school and like boxes and actually installation media when it's available. But with game VM's being sandboxed it's not so bad. When games get released without copy protection I ultimately buy those versions of the CD or the GOG download. Only thing I use steam for is online games since those games will all go EOL and disappear in 10 years anyways; which is why I incidentally try to stay away from most of them.
The drivers are the people in the most realistic position to be liable for local laws and taxes. If it isn't profitable for the drivers then they will not do the work. They would be the ones potentially breaking any local laws. Prices for uber will go up until enough people are willing to drive for that price.
I see no reason people can't unionize but I do see a problem where people have to be unionized or have to pay dues and obey.
But I also see a problem with tips. That results in lower base pay and unstable service for customers as well as cultural discrimination. If anything I think it should be included in the up front costs. People should in no way be required to pay in cash. Tipping is a bad system.
I still wish it had a 7500 battery but I'll take it. It at least has an SD card slot. I still will wait 6 months for the price drop. But it beats the 4 finally.
People are susceptible to optical illusions. So are machines when you understand the assumptions made. People and machines don't have to make the same assumptions but each is fallible in it's own way. As they say nothing is perfect. No one and no thing is perfect. But is it good enough? Or which is better?
All it does is prevent the procedure from being performed in the US. It also keeps the U.S.A. out of the initial lawsuits. Quite frankly if your doing germ line editing then everyone involved needs their "rights" voided. It's dangerous enough and the U.S. can't afford the lawsuits.
But of course U.S. companies are going to be involved in the "research" and profits. The procedures just won't be performed here.
Let's remember that they are still a small company. More important is getting the company structure right and people to deal with future growth.
It's easy to see that once they break even the other car manufacturers will be knocking down their doors just to do collaboration deals since they will be so far behind. If they produced 200,000 vehicles a year they wouldn't be a threat.
It's all about the batteries. It's the most expensive part of the car. And the new gigafactories by 2020 will drive cost down at least by a conservative 50%.
The hard thing right now is getting quality batteries for electric vehicles. Once the batteries pass quality control and validation we will see staggering growth in units delivered and actually turning a profit.
If Tesla produced a 1/4 ton truck people would be breaking their pens trying to write a check fast enough. But to be fair that won't happen til they turn profitable and so I think that will actually be a collaboration with a couple truck companies since they have never produced a truck before. That would make more sense to me.
More interesting would be if Tesla got a contract to produce short busses with automatic driving. Could be a hybrid possibly. It will take a few years of validation with a driver behind the wheel before we see the first true driverless bus. They could also be used be someone like Uber. After that the sky is the limit for delivery, garbage, and street sweepers.
it wasn't locked to a carrier I'm not going to use.
And when it's released unlocked it won't have the shatter proof tech.
My personal choice is the extra battery capacity. Not sure how it works but how I'd like to use it is two with an external charger and then swap them out daily with the modules charging wirelessly on a pad.
I would also be receptive to a mod for a better camera but I can see myself using the speakers. Some people just need their external tunes and it would be one less thing to carry around.
And they use to have such a good rep... oh well, someone flush the toilet.
Apple did what they should do for encryption. They refused to release a signed version of their firmware that would allow any phone with that firmware to be brute force cracked. Even if they took the actual phone into their possession and loaded the special firmware themselves only on that phone it would mean tens of thousands of requests from law enforcement and courts all over the world. They couldn't say no to any of them. A logistical nightmare that doesn't make Apple any money; break even at best but with lots of negative press.
It's a no win situation. And you can be sure that further into the future they will endeavor to make it impossible for even them to crack their own phones no matter what firmware the device uses.
Didn't you hear? The USA just bought a ton of apple phones for military special forces.
There are only two two things that are somewhat regulated and no one needs to obey them.
The first is DNS. No one needs to obey any root servers or organization. You can choose or form your own. It's just getting people to follow your system that is hard. You can also alias domains from different systems under your own tld's. There are also ideas and prototypes floating around for a decentralized naming system that could replace it.
Second is network numbering. And again you don't have to obey it. Might be inconvenient at first which is why no one does it. There is no reason the "internet" has to be one uniform network. It's like a phone number directory. You can belong to different network/directories. And again that are thoughts on new protocols that would make TCP/IP/DNS obsolete and decentralized. Connections across different networks just need extended address information and connect through NAT or a proper proxy.
All any system needs really is a GUID and a cryptography system to verify a computers identity.
I actually expect China at some point to completely split it's internet from the rest of the world such that there would be no need for a great firewall. External communications will have to go through filtered proxies. And those governments will require man in the middle encryption through them if you need encryption.
But fear not. Over the next 30 years there are going to be laser communication satellites that will be near impossible to block. The technology already exists and is how spies communicate now.
It works in a TV broadcast because it's a stream. It will work in a 3d streaming video to a headset but that's without head tracking.
It can't work for interactive head tracking. It's a thing called latency and it's the reason people get headaches from VR. Your brain does it's own head tracking and when what you see doesn't match you get vertigo and or a headache.
You also get vertigo from confusing your brain by spending too much time in zero G. A ride in an elevator can make you lose your cookies. That's because it remembers both what it expects with gravity and without. You feel motion but you don't see it and your brain is drawing two different opposing conjectures.
The bigger it is the slower the periodic cycle but the more dramatic the events it would deliver would be. Say on the order of 200,000 years.
Even it it doesn't collide with another planted it could send thousands of asteroids on trajectories that could impact the earth in tens of thousands of years.

How are they suing fox? I can see if they sued their former employee for breach on contract and fox chose to defend them.
What laws are on the books that make poaching illegal?
Many of these things do not account for the money that would be spent anyway such as food.
Please calculate using the premium vs average cost. Not optimal but simple and more accurate.

Yet he actually gets it where even conservative judges don't.
He could have really hurt this country if he wanted to but didn't.
Just wants others to obey their oaths.
A true patriot.
