Thing is, with subsidies to the drivers making up a majority of the 1.2B$ (I was wrong, 600M$ was just one Q of 2016!) deficit, once Uber hits market dominance it'll get antitrusted to the ground in all the countries where it hasn't bought the politicians. Or have to give up on those subsidies, thereby driving their drivers out of business.
We'll see how this one turns out once it's had some proper review.
Just developing something in public and doing RFCs won't attract as much efforts as possibly knocking down something published, a feather in the cap for defeating Google's propeller beanies. Whereas the first is just, "was a helper", which matters for just about zilch in any CV.
Now tell us, if you will, what connection does porn have with human trafficking? Conventional wisdom says that most human trafficking takes place in the unskilled industries, and most definitely not the adult film sector -- the latter having had extreme requirements in terms of model ID and ID retention and what-not just to ensure that actors and actresses are over 18.
China doesn't have a first amendment, so it's not censorship. Even if it were, it's being enacted by the comms operators, which some will say makes it not matter since the first amdemnenenent only impacts the government.
So there. Please to be removink your insultink title. China stronk laa.
If the proposed model doesn't include something besides "well they can go on the dole, or into the forced-labour workfare force", it's likely shit. Megacorporations (i.e. mono- and duopolies) having all the farmbots isn't actually desirable from an economics perspective.
You appear to have committed an error, here. That P=W/t converts to P=fv implies nothing about being over unity past a certain speed, or under unity below it. It's easy to see how a layperson's overreading of the words would yield such a view, however.
Considering your views on social issues, I'm unsurprised.
Yes. By examining its practicability in the current format, we can guess at how much improvement is still on the cards, or remain in the deck, for various aspects of the technology. Changes to the fundamental sciences are so impredictable as to not consider; so I'm assuming they're precious to basically everyone for exactly the reason that we now have nuclear power and what-not despite at first only having extremely huge bombs.
Let's say that "usual" is a designation rather than reference to prior application. What would it look like based on current experiment, scaled up to a degree where it'd be useful outside of the atmosphere and fitted for space?
What's the usual format of an EM drive? Does it go on a satellite for maintaining orbit instead of a chemical thruster that'll one day run out of fuel? On an interplanetary probe for long-term acceleration, like solar sails might? How big should it be for useful propulsion, and what levels of power does it require -- given that heat dissipation is a perpetual issue for small spacecraft?
In an era where computer technology underlies any and all business and other organized operations, it's quite clear that companies shouldn't be able to pass for "technology companies" simply because they implemented their own platform. Rather, the term should be reserved for those companies who have no other business besides making and selling hardware, software, and support services for the two.
For example, this makes Uber a taxi company, and Airbnb a hotel company, subject to the rules and regulations of those industries -- rather than being able to make up their own rules with "independent contractors" and "helping letters and renters meet (while handling customer service, cash transactions, and taking a cut in the middle)".
However you feel about the German censorship legislation, the above should stand in any nation where rule of law trumps neoliberalist contract-brokering; which in a liberal democracy it should.
Refusing someone the cure for cancer on the chance that they might turn out super evil is simply cruel, given that the surrounding community ought to have measures other than "let him/her die of cancer" at their disposal to prevent that.
Doesn't take much to be superhuman, mind you. Immunity to a particular evolutionary pathway of metastatic lung cancer isn't exactly power armour and man-portable grenade rifles.

My question is: are they turning a profit yet?
No? Rather, 600M$ in the red over 2016? Well, I'm not waiting for their IPO.

I'd like to see more data points before regarding your knee-jerk conclusion as even a proper hypothesis.
On the other hand we have counterexamples such as HIV, uncured despite Tim Cook being, well, a fag; and SARS, similarly without a targeted vaccine.
I think you'll find that certain false positives would be mandatory.

>(...) only those who for whatever perverse reasons want minors corrupted could possibly object.
What if I want minors corrupted, and also censorship? We shouldn't allow wholesome ideas to cross the eye-brain barrier after all.
Well, I did say amdemnenenent.

Now now, they'll surely designate a shitting street in your neighbourhood as well. Get along now.
Uber will only become the new Grindr.
Looks like you'll be the one of the people who get cashed in on.
"On an annualized basis", meaning that the number of hours worked, or earnings per hour, doesn't figure in.
Also cost of living in SV etc., which ought to be controlled for but isn't.
Of course.
And I won't be sending any resumes to Microsoft, that's for sure.
Famous second-to-last words, really. Used to be "we'll pivot into mobile", back in the early aughties, and that never worked out either.
And also hairy palms!
What would the farmers do, instead?

I meant, examples of those everyday problems. Now you're just listing common NP-complete problems from academia.
