having to pay for a license to drive ppl around is ridiculous. in england, in order to be a taxi driver, you have to take a test saying you know at least 90% of the roads.... this is just plain dumb... we have gps for that.
if that is true then that is a ridiculous amount of power for one organization. i figured they just had the ability to make rules over airspace that people actually fly in.. like 10k-50k ft in the air.
actually, during takeoff and landing, most of us are still able to get internet. the issue i was complaining about is when you are up in the air, you no longer get cell phone signal to stream music.
but thats the truth... if the laws says it is legal, sadly it is legal. the only way we can change that is by revolting against the lawmakers.
let me ask you this, what is the difference between murder and assasination/war? you guessed it! in the latter, the government says it is ok, in the former, the government says it is not ok.
that isnt the issue. the issue is that right now pretty much anything in software is patentable... hardware has much more difficulty. one example is that apple patented swipe to unlock... which is an idea, not an actual invention.
you cant patent an idea, you have to patent the thing that the idea represents.
there is really no reason for tesla(or any car manufacturer) to sell to dealerships if they care about the consumer. in most cases, the manufacturers make x copies and sell them all to the dealerships. they dont really care if the end user likes them or even buys them because theyve already made their money.
in the best case scenario, everyone buys every car... but it costs the end user 10-20% more than the cars cost the dealerships. if tesla cuts out the middle man, they can charge the normal dealership price, but for everyone and still make the same profit.(this also makes their cars cheaper than the competition).
dealerships are outdated and are in need of destruction.
the fix for the postal service is simple... dont send trucks to the middle of nowhere every day. in the cities, they are actually making a profit... but because they send a truck out every day to the middle of nowhere for one letter, they lose tons of money.
if you were copied... you and your copy would diverge, if one of you died... the other would still be around... but you would not survive in the other. one day you were walking around, you get hit by a truck, now you are gone... it wouldnt be one day you are walking around and get hit by a truck and now you are in the other body with the new memories and the old memories. the copy and you are two entirely different entities with the same memory up to a certain point.
the idea of consciousness is the main problem with simply printing humans with a specific memory. if you copy someone with their current memory... the copy is now a new person, with his own actions. the main body and the new body have completely separate life after creation. if the original dies, the new one carries on. the idea of copying someone to teleport them is unsolvable before we figure out how to deal with consciousness, because that isnt 'me' on the other side, that is someone else who looks like me and has my memory.
i live in houston. ive almost never seen someone get pulled over for speeding unless they were swerving through traffic and someone called it in. if you go up or down 45 and you go through ennis, you get pulled over for going more than 65. they have 4 cops out there radaring 24-7.
gloves are undoubtedly safer when used right... the thing is that generally speaking, people who dont use gloves dont wash their hands, and people who do use gloves dont replace the gloves after touching a specific food group.
between the two though, the people who dont replace gloves are not as bad as those who dont wash their hands
any dumbass can drive a car without speeding. the issue is that noone wants to because driving the speed limit is boring and takes too long.
driverless cars dont care. they drive the speed limit. if the laws eventually change to where you dont need an attentive person in the drivers seat, we will be able to play video games to make driving less boring.
they pull over great drivers for going 15 over on a highway and leave the assholes who dont know how the fuck to drive safely. driving 85 on a 2lane highway when noone is even there is perfectly safe. a testament to this would be that several highways in texas are starting to increase their speed limits every year. i can tell you one thing... people are not becoming better drivers.
you dont understand.. in the US, this is how most of the smaller towns get their money. they pay a single patrol car to sit on their section of highway all day and pull people over for speeding. a speeding ticket in the us is up to 300$ in some places. noone ever gets pulled over for speeding in large cities because it is a waste of time. the whole speeding ticket system is a scam that has absolutely nothing to do with safety.(at least on highways).
yes, but civil matters are totally ignorable if not for the government support. if the government says 'fuck civil matters', there wont be anyone to punish those who don't pay their dues.
the people who buy it generally buy it because the bundle costs less with cable than it does without, or they are dumbasses who dont realize how to watch their shows online.

noone can use any devices without wifi really... and guess what, airlines charge a ridiculous amount for wifi.
but thats the truth... if the laws says it is legal, sadly it is legal. the only way we can change that is by revolting against the lawmakers.

the faa can make all the rules they want... amazon just has to fly their drones below the faa airspace

ive been using adblock for years.... facebook has more ads that it blocks than any other website ive seen.
well, most likely the computers werent being used for anything else at the time. he was probably only running it in spare time.
because it takes a huge amount of effort to do 41000 deletion requests...

4 years from now, i will have google fiber for 70$ a month with a gigabit connection... and theres nothing any of the cable companies can do about it.
who gives a f*k? cable television is something noone cares about... and anyone who does is a dumbass... this is the age of the internet.
