Isn't their whole business model - we'll build a nice app (done) and take a substantial cut from the driver's revenue? How can you be *losing* money with that?
My understanding that the transmissions over modern fibers use all sorts of tricks to pack more information into it, including frequency modulation, multiple polarization states, etc. I wonder how this new frequency comb technique plays with those.
If Warren won't run, I'll vote for Bernie Sanders, the only Independant in Congress.
I sympathize with your view, but I hope you're not fooling yourself that someone who actually wants to stand up for the little guy has any chance of being nominated. Warren is demonized as a left-wing nut, and the most extreme thing she tried to do was to lower the student loan rate to match that the Fed is giving to the banks. Someone should import a few real left-wing nuts, put them up in some reality TV show, just so people get some sense as to what that really means.
The study of humanities can provide something called "perspective", which I find lacking in a lot of otherwise intelligent people who happen to be engineers.

Yes, if there's any activity that promotes critical thinking it's painstaking and systematic reproduction and of pre-defined letter shapes.
And copyright is requiring government services to maintain. Police, government creating laws, and so on.
Yes, like keeping a fellow who illegally downloaded your copyrighted work locked up in jail for 10 years. Sure as hell will cost taxpayer a pretty penny.
I never understood the whole 'take your passport' thing. I was under impression that if I show up at the US embassy, say that I am a US citizen, that my passport was forcefully taken from me, and I want to go home, they'll go through some checks and give me the documents I need to go back. No?
This is what chicken hitting an engine looks like. The engine effectively explodes. The engine gets a "passing" grade in such a test as long as the blades flying out of the explosion are contained by the enclosure and don't immediately destroy the rest of the plane. If you think this is a minor event, you're deluding yourself.
You'd say that if you knew nothing of the early American space program. Of course, having demonstrated no knowledge of that history your opinion on the matter is pretty much worthless.
Perhaps you know of some secret space plane that went into orbit before Apollo, but this would be news for the rest of the world. So cite or STFU.
Space planes were actually the preferred method of getting to space before the Apollo program.
Considering that no space plane actually went into orbit until the Space Shuttle, the space plane must have been the preferred method for getting into space in the same way that teleportation is preferred now.

Who is actually making the software, and why does it make since to divorce design from the people executing it?
What part of "peer-to-peer supply chain of software vendors" wasn't clear?

Leave the link for the discussion where it belongs - after the summary! No one gives a damn about the "share" button!
Man! If even Underwood thinks the law is unpatriotic, it must be indeed horrible. I mean, we all saw what he had to do to become the President.
When Toyota or BMW makes a nice electric sedan that can outrace Porcshe 911, than we'll give Tesla a break :)

One of my favorite aviation stories!

people listening to Hawking on this is the only threat
Glad you're keeping things in perspective!
Remind me again, why doing this crazy rocket landing is better than using a parachute recovery like the shuttle boosters did?
Here's a link to the actual paper, and a pretty nice editorial from Science (as opposed to CBC).

If you'd tried hailing a cab on a street in Boston, I bet you'd be singing a different tune.
When? Way before they figured out if they scare everyone with ISIS, they'll get even more resources.
They never made it to orbit. The projects were canceled ...
Which was my exact point!
btw., layering all your answers with personal insults really makes you sound like an expert!

Sure, monopoly is bad, but I'd much rather have a monopoly that has to listen to the votes rather the one that doesn't.
We all now know that money==speech, so in fact it's a first amendment issue :)
Whoa, that's messed up!
