I'm not talking about language support at all. I'm talking about DATABASE update which you should know that out-dated map data can point you into a river (as it used to happened before). That's the issue. Also, if Uber has their own map app, they STILL have to get the database from somewhere else. They aren't stupid to collect/maintain database by their own because it cost too much to do that.
Doesn't matter - your app will be telling you when to take the exit, or turn, or which lane to use. Being able to read the road signs certainly makes this easier.
Well, which app/software that Uber app is relying on? That could become an issue...
We don't need to communicate with our customers, their app already told us where they want to go AND the way, so pay up and shut up.
Uber spokesperson
The problem isn't obvious now. But when it is an issue, then what you said wouldn't hold. An easy case is that the dependency software that Uber is relying on isn't up to date (e.g. map app); thus, it will tell the driver to go to a wrong way. Got it?
He's against tax loopholes like depreciation but has exploited them mercilessly in the past as well.
Let me give you an analogy... There is a very famous MMORPG and there are millions of people playing it. However, early into the game, you found a loop hole that can get you all precious & limited game resources by working around the game rules. You did exploit the loop hole but never publicly said anything until you got to top 10 in the game. Then the game announces to recruite a GM. You apply for the position and said you knew every loop hole and did exploit it. You then said it is because the rules are shitty, it is not your fault but the rules. Then you also said you will fix the loop hole once you become a GM.
Now let me ask you...
1) How do you feel about yourself?
2) How do you think all other players, who play the game legitimately without exploiting, feel especially those who are in the same top 10?
3) How do people know that you will actually do what you said, when you could have said and done early before you got to where you are now?
Some people (and you know who) may answer...
1) I feel smart because I didn't break the rules.
2) Too bad for them. They have nothing to do with me.
3) You have to believe in me.
The average American spends about 300 hours per year driving. By doubling the speed, we could cut that to 150 hours. The savings would be 150 hours * 330 million people / 365 / 24 = 5.6 million years.
Err.... You are misleading with the number. You shouldn't add all times which concurrently occurs to one big number (similar to the Pokemon Go post about extending lives). That is not the way it is because the 300 hours per year per person is still that much to each person. You can't quantify every single activity of each person would be the same quantity. However, saying 300 hours per year per person would be good enough and it explains itself.
Sounds like china could use another Wall. They've got an immigrant problem too.
I think you shouldn't be trolling if you didn't read TFA or at least take a quick look at the summary (even though often time the summary is misleading). It is NOT immigration issue as you think. It is that people who are not registered as Shanghai residents are living in Shanghai as well. They are all Chineses but have their residence else where in China. They go to a big city to work and temporary live there (rent or live with relatives).
"Of over 410,000 activated driver accounts in Shanghai, only less than 10,000 are residents with Shanghai residency registration," said Didi on its social media outlets.
The most recent bending issue, resulting in touch disease, is not overblown. At the company I work at every iPhone 6+ has failed before 24 months. My wife's 6+ failed at 14 months and would not be covered by apple.
Hmm... I don't know if you are supposed to have it covered. Did you buy their extension plan? I'm just curious. Their website said they only warranty up to 1 year...
You should read the post "Level of disaster prevention" by DrYak ( 748999 ) Alter Relationship on Tuesday October 11, 2016 @09:53AM (#53054675). The person explained why it could be USB chargers. Apple provided a charger which has passed QC and approved by them that it won't cause the exceeding voltage (5V). They, however, do not guarantee if users want to use a charger manufactured by a third party to charge their phone. If users do, then Apple won't take responsibility. I think it is fair in this case.
That's because it depends on how and where, in the U.S., you got the ticket from (1st paragraph of United States section). It could be a criminal activity in Arizona state...
Any lawyer who does this is an absolute dumbass, because courts come down hard on these sorts of shenanigans.
I'm not sure how many of those dumbass lawyers are new lawyers who know nothing about the company conspiracy. These new lawyers just want their name to be in the list of "successfully lawsuit" for their resume. They may be told one thing from the company about easy winning law suit without being told the whole story. Experienced lawyers would have known the trick or did some homework before accepting the use of their names in any kind of this law suit... I feel sorry for those innocent new lawyers if they are innocent but now their future in the law path is ruined (and might have a big debt waiting for). However, if these lawyers know what the company is doing, I would not feel sympathy for them.
The "first to file" change affects only "interference", or conflicts between two patent applications. It does not diminish requirements under "novelty", or conflicts between a patent and published documents in the prior art.
Actually, the first-to-file was intended to be what you said, but it is actually being abused/exploited. For example, you are the first person who had an idea, implemented it, and sold your products for a while, but you did not patent it. As a result, you could be sued by someone who took your idea and filed for a patent (and got it). It used to be that the inventor must prove how he/she gets the idea from, and how it is developed until filing for a patent. Not anymore...
Shrug. Driving too close can lead to accidents when unanticipated braking occurs.
Red light cameras cause unanticipated braking. This demonstrably causes accidents. Ergo red light cameras are dangerous, irrespective of other causes or factors.
One resolution is to eliminate driving too closely to the vehicle in front. Given the impracticality of this a more pragmatic option would be to eliminate red light cameras. Same outcome.
And that is the point. If a driver isn't driving too fast in the first place, there wouldn't be "unanticipated braking" when seeing a red-light camera. Why would one brakes when seeing a camera? Well the one feels being caught from the guilt of his/her own speed. Thus, the camera should not to be blamed but the driver behavior...
I think Kirobo is a dog. Why would you want cat ear (nekomimi) in the name???
Hazukashi serifu kinshi!
That actually is misspelled if you want to write it in English... It should be Hazukashii serifu kinshi! even though the ending i sound isn't that obvious (makes the "i" sound in "shi" a bit longer) when you pronounce the word.
You're going for facetious but you're right on point. It IS that easy. The world is a small tiny place. Until we start colonising Mars we're barely 30h worth of travel distance from anyone at any given time. If the goal is to simply get away from a shithole, heck you can do that in 4-5 hours for most of them.
I'm not sure it is that "easy" if you consider how "immigration" works differently in different places. Some people would lover to get out of the shithole, but then it is impossible politically, financial, and/or economically because of where they are at the time (or where they want to go). Talking is easy. Doing it is a completely different story...
And I think you are those who select only a certain portion of a whole content and spin/use it for your own agenda. It shows from how you "quote" only a portion of my post...
It does say Asian, not Asian-American. Asian means from Asia. You wouldn't call a white American a European.
Are you kidding, right? There is no such Asian vs. Asian-American in this type of statistics. The Asian is determine by their appearance (and/or genes), not where they were born. People see Asians born in America as Asians when they first see them. Even when they speak to them, sometimes they can't figure out without asking them whether the Asians were born in America or came into the country when they were very young (no accent). That's why statistics usually uses the word "ethnic". I have a feeling that you are an Asian and were born in the U.S. because your reply seems to show that you are offended by being seen as Asian only.
Anyway, I still don't really see the issue in this hiring. Besides, there is no need to make a big deal out of it anyway. Why do they need to have high population of Asians in a company locating in Silicon valley? If there are 2 equally qualify candidates. One is white American and one is Asian. Companies should have the right to pick whoever they want whatever method they please. There are many other jobs (or things to do) outside Silicon valley anyway.
