No, you are not "genuinely curious". If you were, you could trivially find dozens of examples of his racism and mysogyny for yourself with a few minutes of searching.
And the primary sources of a number of the quotes even you could trust: Brietbart, since he FUCKING PUBLISHED THEM HIMSELF. Others are direct quotes from his radio show.
The rioters are what they always are, punks and anarchists wanting to burn things. It has about as much to do with the peaceful protests as the a-holes rioting over WTO meetings in Seattle or the Canucks losing the Stanley Cup. Something like 70% of those arrested were instigators from out of state who didn't even vote. If I were a Trump conspiracy theorist I'd say they were paid to make the protests look bad, but that's stupid - just like those rioting "for fun" (not political statement).
I do agree that the alt-right tends to get less media coverage with their actions, since they usually work at night, anonymously or in hoods, when they do their church burning and spray painting swastikas and slurs.
Irrelevant to your trying to refute my previous statement, which still holds true. (though I agree Trump will likely be less right wing than he campaigned).
Nice attempt at distraction. It almost worked. (well, no, not really).
Yes, it Is ironic, as in this election the Conservatives (ie. the *opposite* of the Progressives - go look up irony, there, sport) who will be in the White House (Trump, Guilianai, Gingrich) are *literally* the cheating husbands.
The 650K is ALL OF THE WEINERS' EMAILS. Guess what, they didn't exclusively send email to Hilary Clinton.
The 33k is the number she deleted and claimed they were not relevant. So that would be the MOST that would NOT be duped. Clearly Hilary didn't spend all of here personal time emailing Anthony Weiner, either, so it's pretty obvious that the final number of "potentially relevant", non-duplicate emails is going to be fairly tiny. Which is exactly what FBI sources have already said.
An anonymous FBI leak stated that "nearly all of the emails were duplicates of those already reviewed". So all they needed to do was remove the vast majority of dups and review the few that are left. And the moronic Republican meme that "Comey couldn't have reviewed them all" is equally stupid. Might as well say "Sergei Brin could't possibly have looked at all of those website to return that Google result in 0.2 seconds!"
Saying that a computer could hash and search 650k emails in a few minutes is just silly.
Saying that a government/FBI server farm could do it is practically OBVIOUS. While it's a separate organization that I doubt was involved, the NSA could probably have done it in seconds.
And the whole POINT is these were Anthony Weiner and his wife's emails. If they weren't sent too or from Clinton, they weren't relevant to Clinton's handling of emails. And if they were, they were most likely ALREADY on Clinton's server (duh!)
No one will use UWP for serious 3D games - Angry Birds, sure. CoD, never.
We tried to make a cross-platform video streaming app with it and it took 6-8 months longer than expected (mostly due to Microsoft bugs and limitations, as you said) and in the end STILL didn't actually work properly on most "Windows 10" devices. We couldn't even get it to work properly on all Windows 10 Surface Pro tablets and PCs (let alone non-x86 tablets and phones). Made Android platform fragmentation seem simple in comparison.
Even better: after getting rid of the keyboard, they could make the screen, well, to coin a new term right here - "touchable" - and even put a keyboard on it! Even better, you could cut the laptop down to a single screen that acts as a keyboard and mouse!
THX wasn't even a technology, it was just a spec and certification - glorified QA with a big price tag.
The reason it's not relevant now is it basically devolved to big speakers and bass since that's all anyone noticed. Current theater effort like Dolby Atmos will provide *much* better audio quality, and still plenty of volume and rumbling bass.
"Infinitely more profitable" already makes the argument moronic. So, infinite money? Awesome! Or nope, fucking stupid!
You clearly have not read ANY of the reasonable discourse on this topic. Large transit buses (ie all current buses, that are cheap, have set routes and carry 60+ people) vs taxis (that are expensive and usually carry 1-2 people) have nothing to do with it.
It's about automated microbuses that can carry 6-8 commuters, routing them in a way that they are WAY faster than trains/trainsit buses/parking private cars at a fraction of the cost.
Self-driving minibuses ARE public transportation, or as close as it will get (and the bonus it can get your to the door not blocks away). Fully public to the door transportation is not an option at this point - right of way in a city is 100's of billions - in one big chunk - to build such a thing. So the only palatable option will be to use the existing infrastructure...
They look pretty industrial, I don't think a paint pellet would do much good.
Then again, if it was *really* gridlock, low tech is the right tech. Bring a net, get out of your car, and hey, free $2000+ drone! (just make sure its camera is looking at someone else).
It's even simpler. UberPOOL. Every extra passenger replaces a solo driver. The difference between gridlock and flowing traffic can be 20% or less, so it's not that hard to imagine it making a significant difference...
Replying again since it's a totally separate point but probably more significant than my other highly significant point;)
A taxi has to drive much farther on average to get you from point A to point B than you would have to drive to make the same journey in a car you owned and kept with you.
You must be pretty rural if you think driving is the only time/expense in a commute. In any major city, try PARKING. You can spend 30+ minutes trying to find free parking (sometimes without luck), pay $30+ to park in a garage (sometimes taking 2-3 garages to find a space), or any combination in between. None of those work out in favor of the individual private commuter.
Not if they were all linked self-driving cars taking multiple passengers as appropriate. It would be a MASSIVE reduction in traffic in that case. You did mention "Ubertopia" and GM - and that IS what both of those companies are working on right now.
The ideal self-driving car future is not a bunch of Teslas taking one passenger around, it's a fleet of mini-buses (or even expanded & cost reduced Model X's, 6-8 passengers would be plenty!) that can optimize routes near-perfectly to pick up multiple passengers while not significantly impacting the time of each passenger. You don't even need to be that good of a computer scientist to immediately understand all of the interesting optimization potential to that situation...
It's a shame, because my Uber experiences in Europe were fantastic. The cars were spotless (a BMW 535 and a Merc C63 AMG!), the drivers eminently polite, and the rates cheaper than in the US.
I guess it's not the same for commuting/ridesharing, where you don't want to pay taxi prices... but for a tourist trying to get around it was perfect;)
Only if you have 3 people in the car, as one of them is a driver by default and not a commuter. Makes sense for UberPool(where the driver is theoretically also a commuter),
And you didn't even have to RTFA to know that this WAS an ad for UberPOOL. Pedantic fail!
Did you not rate them? It's rare that a driver will rate you down unless you either rate them down or are a total asshole to them, since they know you'll do the same.
It then drives to the next pick-up, which during morning rush hour is more likely than not another commute from the suburbs into the city
Not sure you get how Uber works...
I know a bunch of Uber drivers, and based on the way the app works they tend to find a new passenger close to them after dropping off a fare. They may make less going in the opposite direction, or they may have to hang around "downtown" for a while doing shorter trips until they get one that is going where they want - but any Uber driver who actually makes a living on it knows the system and how to maximize their income over time. NO ONE would drive all the way back to "the suburbs" repeatedly to pick up more fares. Especially since "commute time" is a limited window.
But you can ride-pool already if you are so inclined, so there seems to be no good reason to use Uber if the goal is to reduce traffic and time wasted in traffic.
Duh, that's what UberPOOL is, an instant rideshare, without any of the hassle of dealing with the fickle schedule of any one individual driver.

Wait, who the fuck cares about whatever semantics you are arguing?
What you just quoted (as in put in quotation marks, as in even you agree it was a quote) is racist on the face of it.
No, you are not "genuinely curious". If you were, you could trivially find dozens of examples of his racism and mysogyny for yourself with a few minutes of searching.

The media loves to report the bad, but there is a lot of good, peaceful protest going on as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

"Who are you gonna believe, me or your lying eyes?"
Ironic that you'd say that, since almost every accusation Donald Trump has denied actually came first hand from video or his own Tweets.
Yep, no one protested Obama's election.

Oh wait, maybe they not only did, but did it in a way only extreme right wing protesters can (ie. racist as hell and with death threats).

No need, it now uses the camera and Siri to recognize your frustration and preemptively reboot itself.
On the down side, it tends to reboot every 20 minutes no matter what.
Who cares? It means about as much today for the quality of the audio as UL certified.
THX wasn't even a technology, it was just a spec and certification - glorified QA with a big price tag.
The reason it's not relevant now is it basically devolved to big speakers and bass since that's all anyone noticed. Current theater effort like Dolby Atmos will provide *much* better audio quality, and still plenty of volume and rumbling bass.
If you manage to hit the camera square with a paint pellet, it already got you on camera...
