It's ironic to call what google does panhandling, considering it's everyone else getting stuff for free. I think it's more like you are the panhandler who doesn't like the attitude of the guy who throws the quarter in your cup in a disrespectful manner.
They may have just implemented some HTML5 features that firefox hadn't implemented or implemented well yet. The latest firefox update makes nearly every web page slow for me. I keep doing a "refresh firefox", but it only goes faster for a little while.
As someone who joined G+ and facebook at basically the same time, I found Google's interface much more intuitive. I still use facebook for party invites (because everyone is on it), but I don't like it, and I still find it counterintuitive.
“Just because you have access to an expensive toy that can fly in a dangerous area doesn’t mean you should do it.”
We've had RC aircraft for almost as long as we've had aircraft. The reason drones are causing this particular problem is precisely because they are no longer expensive.
And because they don't provide any of the traditional benefits that employers pay, they need to pay more total money to compensate to entice people to be an uber driver over some other line of work where they would otherwise get those benefits.
Gievn that you usually pay for uber with a credit card, I would think a drunk would be more likely not to notice the price and order the uber car anyway. If taxis are actually in high demand and low supply at the time, then chances are it will also be hard to get a traditional cab (that is priced below market value). The drunk may actually be able to still get an uber car, even if they may regret the bill the next morning.
It is not the *only* reason why uber is cheaper. It is one of the reasons uber is cheaper. Also, uber is not always cheaper. When there is surge pricing, it is actually more expensive. When taxis are in high demand and low supply, you are unlikely to be able to get a traditional cab, but if you are willing to pay the market value, you can still get an uber car.
It's not as if there is nothing that can be improved about taxi systems across the world in the way of efficiency.
Hopefully if these seats are ever implemented, I can avoid looking at the people sitting across from me by putting on my VR helmet and watching a interactive 3d movie or whatever.
Except that you can ping things that are not in your subnet. I think "ping domain" means everything that can be pinged by you. Which maybe means the whole internet minus some computers behind firewalls and NAT routers.
If they could get away with just raising consumer prices to cover this cost, they should have done it regardless of whether this lawsuit ever existed. By saying "They will just pass the cost onto consumers" you are also saying, TWC will not raise consumer costs unless they are forced to by their own costs (e.g. legal) going up. I don't think this is true. I think they are charging whatever the market will bear at any given time, and given that they have no competition, their lawsuits have no effect on the market.
I'm sure seniors would love a device that never has it's UI updated. The problem is that when you are first buying this device, it will no doubt have a very (probably too) old UI due to the fact that it's rarely updated. So in an effort to keep 90 year old seniors happy, the 80 year old senior needs to use a 10 year old UI.
And as difficult as it may be to use a newer UI than you are used to, it is even more difficult to use an older UI than you are used to.
If a senior had never used a computer before, chances are, they will find the modern UIs of IOS and android more usable than DOS, or windows 3.1 or windows 95. They are far more intuitive. This is why babies can use tablets before they can talk.
Not to mention the fact that old software often requires old hardware due to lack of backwards compatibility, this really leaves people requiring old software in a bad position. Having older software also typically leaves you vulnerable to security problems, which really mess up a user experience.
I think the better approach is to train seniors on the latest technology, so that they have as long as possible before they are forced to upgrade.
I just got my elderly uncle a tablet. He was used to his old beige windows XP computer, but it finally died. He was very skeptical that he'd be able to learn the new machine. But after 3 months he'd really leraned to love it. He could use the tablet lying down, which was good for his back. He could put the tablet right up to his face to see it better. It was more responsive. I don't even think he could remember how to use his old windows XP computer anymore even if it were revived.
It's not even like my uncle is a proficient tablet user. He's not. He can do the 4 things he used to do on his old computer (read news, play chess, skype, and email) and that's it. But the struggle he would have to go through just to do the things he already knew how to do made learning a new and easier thing not so bad by comparison.
Automation removed the need of humans for humans to perform work on mars.
If you are going to say that automation removed the need for humans (to exist), then I would ask whose need you are referring to? The removal of the need of humans for themselves to exist? The removal of the need of robots for humans to exist? The removal of the need of the universe for humans to exist?

Racism is also the reason why Americans largely eat hotdogs instead of Indian food (which is obviously better).

same with vaccines...

I see the latest version (after being re-licensed) is from 2012, but the one we are using is way older.
Paperweights (i.e. things with mass)
I suppose you would need others to look at the problem rationally, considering that you seem to be incapable of this particular skill.
Like smartphones that are full of candy. My daughter would totally be into that.
What counts as a political accomplishment? Convincing everyone you were pro gay marriage the whole time, now that it is popular?

Was your whole family killed by an uber driver or something?

I can play anything with plex and chromecast...

Luckily we have people like you to hunt down and expose people like me who only *seem* witty.
Did anyone else read "Catastrophic Chinese Food..."?

Don't worry, it will soon be weighed down with the burden of crippling malware.
