They had 30-year-olds playing high school students on Beverly Hills, 90210, and cast Anne Heche as a love interest to Harrison Ford when she was 29 and he was 56. I don't think any of them have a clue about age.
First step will be modifying the current hours of service regulations. I envision the driver doing the pickup, getting the rig onto the highway, then sleeping in back while the truck self-drives overnight. Wake up the next day to fuel up, then bring it in to the next warehouse.
Republican lawmakers have proposed fining Congressional representatives who stream live video or post photos from the House floor, in an apparent attempt to stop a repeat of last year’s Democratic live-streamed sit-in protest.
Now can we talk about how this applies to America, too?
The rules for freight make the rules around taxis rather simplistic.
Truth. And people don't even know how much they don't know. For instance: Did you know that makeup and perfume are classified as hazmat? Do you know what the laws are for allowable weight per axle? Are there any guidelines for load balance front-to-rear or side-to-side? If current regulations limit how many hours a driver may be on the road continuously, how would you apply those limits to a "driver" sleeping in the back while the truck drives down the highway?
This shit ain't easy. And sure, some of it may have gotten overspecified, but just ignoring all the regs like they did for taxis isn't going to play for long.
What is Uber for regular Uber doing right now? That's right, self-driving cars.
This "Uber for Trucks" is just Amazon getting all the shippers into their system so they'll be in the database with contracts already signed as soon as the self-driving trucks are ready.
Magsafe tends to be really bad if you do things like use your laptop in bed while plugged in. It comes out all the time, every time you move the laptop.
Yeah, that bothered me for like the first 30 seconds. Then I realized that every time I knocked it out I was doing something that would have been gradually breaking any other connector. If you hit it hard enough to knock it out, you want it to fall out instead of transmitting that stress to the jack.
YouTube? This is about tv programs. There's absolutely nothing (legally) on YouTube that's as well executed as the poorest TV shows. Or am I somehow missing a YouTube version of Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Quarry, Luke Cage.... ?
If Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Quarry and Luke Cage are your examples of "the poorest", I think I may know why you aren't finding stuff on YouTube that's better than that.

Who says Uber wants to _own_ the vehicles? They don't own any of the vehicles that are being used now - maybe the plan is the same in the end - let 'independent contractors' who own self driving cars take all the risk.

What is it that ensnares the bean counters to prefer this situation over hiring qualified local candidates? I honestly don't get it. Why is it "better" to pay some unqualified person a low wage, tack on a substantial fee paid to the body shop, and then have everyone suffer through the extended delivery times, angst, etc. It can't be cheaper to do it this way, and if it is, it could not possibly be enough of a savings to merit delaying the delivery of what the business needs in a timely manner. Or can it?
One year when I worked at a bank the CTO published our annual goals, and one of the two goals was to achieve an average development rate less than $30 per hour. Everyone in the room knew what that meant... or we thought we did. There was no one there making less than $30/hr at the time, so we expected we were all going to be replaced by low-price contractors, or the work would simply be outsourced.
But our department head was smarter than that. He engaged an offshore team of 20 people. We had 10 onshore. We never sent them any work that mattered, and a significant portion of our project manager's job wen to "keeping them busy" with things that would show up on a status report, but that didn't affect our actual work product.
The average development rate went down even thought the total spend went up, and we kept delivering what we always had.
You tell me the metric, I'll tell you the easiest way to game it.
Most of "renewable" energy is hydro and biomass, neither of which is environmentally friendly or scalable. Hiding the tiny contribution of wind and solar in there just shows the dishonesty inherent in green propaganda.
From 2014 to 2015, wind went from 18% to 35% of renewables, solar went from 4% to 5%, hydro went from 26% to 46%, and biomass went from 50% to 11%.
Hydro isn't very environmentally friendly, but I don't think we're building large new installations of it in the U.S. And the ones that already exist aren't causing ongoing damage, like non-renewables do.
... and the fact that renewable provide a tiny amount of energy today.
According to the US Energy Information Administration renewables make up 12% of worldwide energy production, compared to 33% for liquid fuels, 28% for coal, 23% for natural gas, and 4% for nuclear.
Growing the industry by orders of magnitude will...
... cause renewables to produce 1200% of total worldwide energy production.
Imagine that - more votes counted than ballots cast in DEMOCRAT-controlled areas of Michigan.
Nowhere in the article does it say which number was higher: votes or ballots.
But let's suppose your assumption is correct. Is there any possible explanation given in the article?
"He blamed the discrepancies on the city’s decade-old voting machines, saying 87 optical scanners broke on Election Day. Many jammed when voters fed ballots into scanners, which can result in erroneous vote counts if ballots are inserted multiple times. Poll workers are supposed to adjust counters to reflect a single vote but in many cases failed to do so, causing the discrepancies, Baxter said."
So shitty old hardware in the poor neighborhoods doesn't work well. And your solution isn't to fix or replace the shitty old hardware, it's to throw the votes out.
I think there's a term for that, and it might rhyme with "voter suppression".
Slashdot Mirror
What they don't tell you... is that every one of those bananas has been up Bezos' ass.
Was that before or after the pennies? And the watch?
Why is this worthy of Slashdot? This is just an executive being busted by the FBI.
Because the exec was responsible for validating code that was found to not be doing what he said it did.
Do you have anybody in your company doing QA? Or auditing code? Think they might be interested in this?
Here's hoping this leads to some actual changes.

I knew there'd be some self-centered person in the US who'd figure out some way to spin this to make it about America.
How about this?

Like I said here:
This is Step 1

I got the name wrong, but the play was right.

NOW the model is to move to fleets of autonomous vehicles and eliminate the contract drivers asap.
I think the business model now is franchising. Consider this a pilot project.
Who says Uber wants to _own_ the vehicles? They don't own any of the vehicles that are being used now - maybe the plan is the same in the end - let 'independent contractors' who own self driving cars take all the risk.
Don't think independent contractors. Think franchisees.
Actually fixed it for you:

"And the second beast required all people small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand...."
Simple fix: Put it on the left hand.
Once they're in the private sector they're only accountable to the market, which is how it should be.
The point is the the three letter agency isn't accountable for what they do, which is why they're willing to pay three times as much to get them.
Same here, I'm not familiar with the hint.
The Michigan state house and senate are both Republican controlled. Who do you think approves the budget for new voting machines?
Michigan's aging voting machines a 'catastrophe waiting to happen'
They knew about this in advance.
If you left it at home, it's going to rain.
