Like someone else said, drivers will consider it good, but customers will not so they will stop using Uber now over other services. The ease of not worrying about how much to tip and quickly exiting a ride was great. Plus, you could always hand them cash already. Mark my words this is very, very, very bad for Uber and expect even bigger losses for them as a company in the following quarter. I'd like to think the purpose was to attract more drivers to the service, but I've never had a problem getting a ride, and if you lose customers you lose drivers that way too.
I'm still on kodi 16.1 on pi 3. Does this make 17 usable? As in, will I be able to play files fine and use typical addons without long loading times and wierd menu bugs? I've tried virtually every Linux distro and nothing seems to 'just work' on kodi 17.
Let's get real. If you look like a woman and you are in the woman's restroom doing nothing creepy then you won't have a problem. If a woman actually looked like a man, beard an all, and used the women's restroom they are far more likely to get the police called on them, but what is the police going to do, make you pull your pants down? You can easily sign up for a license by checking the female box so they can't find out that way.
The article goes to length at a round about way to manage to delete your activity but you can just click the Delete Activity button on the left and select all time or any time period.
Science is self evident through experimentation. Anyone can duplicate an experiment to find the truth. When it comes to news, history, and statistics there is very little you can do to lend credibility and not allow them to be manipulated. The problem is like you said when the fact checkers start being wrong you'll stop listening to them, the people who have a different viewpoint than you have the same idea which means everyone will only use these fact checkers with confirmation bias and having fact checkers is utterly useless.
Now bias journalism gets checker by bias fact checkers. We'll need fact checkers to fact check the fact checkers and fact checkers to fact check those fact checkers and round and round it goes.
That's a little crazy as you already lose 100% of what you lose in the stock market and tax on short term means you only gain say 70% of making a good decision. It's risky enough as it is and say invesments are 50/50, now you need to be right around 30 % more, just for clean numbers sake, than you are wrong just to break even.
You guys are talking about welfare which is mostly run by states locally so why bicker about how it works when you don't know anything about each other.
Over the last few years Kodi removed karaoke, choose a worse default skin and menu layout with worse customizability and worse loading icon, and created issues with virtually every add on with their updates and now they want to drm it? Gotta say Kodi is going way way downhill. I want a simple media player. This isn't a game breaking change on its own but it could be the last straw of many poor decisions that kills it. What are the other options now?
When will people get that. People of the same race are so different it is crazy to look at race or demographics as a way to diversify. It shows they have no idea what diversity is that they assume a whole race or sex is the same. We need to assume all humans are the same and forget about trying to meet quotas or exactly equal the population distribution. A different culture is exists in every single city of the world. Just look at the U.K. And how accents change city to city.
Lack of competition is what is slowing processor speed growth not difficulty. One or two major competitors just don't provide enough competition so there is no reason for them to innovate. They hold onto new technologies for years and years until AMD makes an announcement then all of a sudden intel reduces prices or make an announcement. Innovation comes from competition not from patents that seem to last way too long or force expensive licensing and large corporations gobbling up any business they even has a spark of creativity.
I know this law has been passed but surely the law doesn't let them sell personally indentifiable information like names, SSNs, and addresses? Does it?
I swear Microsoft always seems to not only not support old versions but actively creates issues to force you to upgrade. On windows 7 just on March 15th they pushed a "security update" to 2010 Microsoft office that basically makes any file with macros in it crash unexpectedly many times a day. I had to roll back the updates on every computer in our office and disable windows updates because we rely heavily on macros. It's so frustrating that things can work fine and they break it. Now we have to think about upgrading to the lastest operating system and Microsoft office which both already changed the way VBA works so transitioning and keeping our existing macros running is going to take many months of work.
They already filter for swear words, yet now the abstract idea of "trolling" is on the table and you will be able to filter any tweet containing a word you don't like. This is literally exactly the way China will not let you speak badly about politicians, except now people will not see any opposing views to their party of choosing. If the country wasn't split evenly it could soon turn into a one party system because you can't even debate or criticize those who would disagree with you on one of those widely used methods of expressing opinion. Instead of announcing you opinion to the world you will soon be announcing it to only people who already agree with you. Not good for any kind of debate, political or otherwise. That is how you create opposite extremists.
Apple innovates/patents/buys out the functionality to get Apple Pay working so they can dominate it It makes sense. Does it mean other companies get to use it? No. Not unless a government says they have a license it at a reasonable price because it is a core functionality or whatever legal jargon they use to require you to license a feature.
It seems that customers are still 'paying' by watching advertisements. While the customer is not sending cash anywhere, it is clear AT&T and Verizon are still making profits when they push their own video services that serve ads, which advertisers do pay them for. T-Mobile is a little bit different in that it doesn't own the video services so it isn't directly making revenue from offering say youtube to not count towards data caps. AT&T and Verizon do make money from their own video services and partnerships though so yes, they are indeed violating net neutrality. Comcast data does not violate net neutrality, I believe, because their customer already paid for the TV service and simply wants to watch it on a different screen in their home. The idea being that the TV was in fact purchased already and to place it against a data cap would be charging twice for the same service.
Microsoft or rather windows OS PCs have been winning the high end market forever. Apple has been winning the high price PC market with inferior techchnology, besides monitors, for years. Now you can get a good quality 4K monitor for a PC as well, Apple has lost its primary advantage.
Your comment is a joke. Everything that I said that apples to "banks" applies to "institutional investors." The one reviewing the loans is the government and that is the point. I don't know if you are just incompentant or you have never worked in the banking industry.
Everyone is judging how much Uber is worth and talking about their services but no one here has actually looked at their finances, loan agreements, and most probably haven't even read the article. How can this? How can that? Uhh guys you have no idea what makes a company valuable and especially the government doesn't know. They look at one thing, collateral, and say screw it when it comes to all the other details. Of course a 'new' and growing company doesn't have much collateral. Banks don't just loan based on that, although it is the main factor, they bet on the leaders of the company, the potential of the company, and the business model. A business model where someone downloads an app to drive and then you start making hundreds of dollars a day from their service is a pretty damn good one.
Battery life is not something apple is good at managing. There last iOS update to my iPhone 6s destroyed my battery life and basically makes my phone unusable. It went from a few days per charge to barely 6 hours with a little use. Resetting all settings and content does nothing and they offer no way to roll back to the last iOS version. I wish they would spend more time on testing and fixes before they release an iOS and less time on removing important features.
The difference is the US tells you what laws we're broken. China makes up reasons it is illegal, most likely because the app doesn't give some sort of backdoor access to monitor users. China literally requires government employees to be present in your physical location so they can monitor everything you do and say.

If you can pass for the opposite sex you will never get called out on going into the wrong bathroom anyways.

You're amazing. I'll install this on some test subjects and see if it works.

Nothing about that is related except that these are not AAA loans as well.

Just use google instead of making up assumptions about what they can or will do.
