  1. Funny thing about India's best. It amazes me that both employer and employee are both lairs. Hiring the worlds best and brightest to build a web page? Ya, sure.

    Poor naive A/C, how much hydrogen is in carbon?

    I'm hoping you're being ironic? Gas stations didn't spring up over night, one went to a Dry Cleaners for fuel, and before cars, there was an industry of people that handled horses, and their, um by-products. As for transporting energy without glowing afterwards, Hydrogen is better. Consider piping hydrogen to a dry stream bed, add a fuel cell and one has electricity and water. Try that with gasoline.
    I'll go one better, if China got its head out of their 'collective' ass and went Automotive Fuel Cell, quickly one could easily across the street; in Peking. Pun intended.

    A couple a things are to funny to ignore.
    1. It's NOT a semi truck, it's called a 'Tractor'
    2. Produce HP? No one tell Carly Fiarino, and Carly Whitman ! ! !

    I've worked with H1-B visa holders, and their inventiveness is astounding! All of them are geniuses, just ask'em. I was curious enough, and now my ear is permanently bent. Or, ask a 1%-er, they've got this 'go-f-yourself' outlook, think CEO of Uber; he's on camera trying to give good advise to one of the company's drivers.

    I figure you'll last 3, maybe 6 months before your boss hires someone to replace you; that's inventiveness.

    If this is the dumbest thing that this person does for the rest of her life; then she got off pretty damn lucky. But the irony is, "was the phone app wrong?"

    Bottom line, someone is hiding information on how code should work. Think Trump and his taxes. But why should anyone optimize themselves to oblivion? There are many fiefdoms that are shrinking today, and there are only so many job openings as greeter at some Walmart. Of course the day is coming when Nigerians will replace Indians; oh boo-hoo.

  11. Better yet, do they have a working, of sorts, prototype?

    When currency becomes a work of art, then people tend to adjust. I'm thinking that holders of this $10 bill will be inclined to not spend it, but just enjoy its beauty.

    Doing some finger math here, based on your numbers; lets see. Given 100 new businesses start up. After 12 months; only 20 are left. Lets look at the next 12 months. Now 95% of 20 is 1? I'd say that 99% of businesses have failed at this point in time. It is truly unique that a business fails if the cash register is ringing all the time; just putting it out there.

    Hold on a/c, for every business rule there exists a counter intuitive rule that works also.

    That would be the "SBA.gov". The statement is, "90% of all businesses fail in the first year because the public does not know the product exists. 90% of all businesses fail in the second year because the market does not know the business exists." My conclusion is that, "sure a person has a great product, but without getting the word out, well that person does not make any sales. No sales? Collapse occurs.

    Some thoughts occured to me while RTA:
    - I'm curious about the air time. Could Tesla batteries be used here?
    - Speed is nice, but after 90 minutes one has to deal with the first law of bladder.
    - A non DARPA issue is battery recharge time.
    - Maybe Amazon could further develop this?

    99% of all businesses fail in the first 24 months for one reason; no one knows your product exists. I would suggest some quiet time considering how to communicate the existence of your product to others.

  22. Why? What is the point? Lets look at this. Client A shows up with a path of how to get their destination and the price-sub-0. Driver B has a different path to the destination and a price-sub-1. Awkward. There was never a meeting of the minds! This is basic contracts first semester. At this point there is no contract. Maybe Driver B can renegotiate the contract with Client A. Why should Uber get a dime of this transaction?

  23. You didn't mention that he licks putin's dick, and that I don't.

  24. Well, if it makes the orange lard ass and chief sleep better during his afternoon nap, then hell it's me. And about the H1-B visa nonsense. When are those liars going to be shown the way home?
