Very confused author. He shows a chart of capacity costs, not actual production cost comparison, then he starts talking about contract prices, which are a very different thing altogether.
Maybe something crazy like taking inexpensive vitamin D pills
Maybe, and hopefully, but it appears they have not yet determined if it is causation or just correlation. It may be that whatever causes Vitamin D deficiency also increases risk of Autism.
Seems like a natural extension of their platform. I am wondering how they could have not seen this possibility, and how they think they can prevent this.
They could have some hook up version of Uber Select. Conversion vans would be allowed. It might require fuzzy dice and carpet on the dashboard just so you know what you are getting in to.
The best approach for the general consumer is to have a set of standards that, if met, reduce security risks to an acceptable level from a hardware/software perspective. Products can choose to prove compliance with those standards. Educated consumers can require that compliance in their product choice.
Regulation could come in regarding how product can claim compliance.
Many or all of those standards may already exist, but they likely need some motherhood standards to tie them together. All easier said than done because there is not simple answer to 'the right way to do it', and a huge and varied scope of things under the umbrella.
...and then bump into the texting students on purpose, to teach them a lesson.
Pedestrians, skateboarders, cyclists, etc... should all be hit at 7 MPH to teach them to stop walking and to ride the shuttle... because that is the only way Auro Robotics will make a profit in the long run
What kind of fat lazy squirrel can't get out of the way of a 7 mph bus? Or are they just self-entitled squirrels who feel they should not have to move?
The only reason this problem exists is because people will pay more than the face value for tickets.
True, but thats not going to happen and it just tells us the original tickets are priced below market value. The seller should have some right to decide what their consumers pay, but they don't have control as they should. You could argue the sellers should jack up the prices so much that there was no market margin left for scalpers as well, but they don't want to price certain demographics out of their market for sustainability reasons.
The most egregious case I know of is the Tragically Hip final concert tour, where the lead singer was terminally Ill and it was the last chance to see them. Google for some of the stories and the national outrage in Canada. (one link below). Knowing they would never see this band perform again made it a sellers market, the scalping really put a black mark on what was a national event. (If you aren't aware, the Hip was HUGE for many years and Canada, but surprisingly less so elsewhere)
A better question is what percentage of customers have slower speeds because they have no viable alternatives, versus how many (ie: my Mom) are still on relatively ancient DSL (or other) services that haven't quite kept up with the times.
Or how many stay on DSL or slower connections because it meets their needs, so they have no reason to change even if there are options.
Testing probably missed it because even with the thinner design it was a rare occurrence. Failures in 1 out of 200,000 phones is a big deal when you ship enough, but not so easily found in lab sampling. That said, the testing should mimic conditions beyond any expected in normal use and have a higher failure rate.
Maybe if he never said he'd have such a database, he would consider the question outlandish. Its not like there isn't any hyperbole being employed. So you can go on to talk about all the problems with this database that nobody proposed, but I'm not sure who you are really arguing with in that case, or making a point to.
Trump did talk about vetting an tracking people who want to enter the country from known terrorist states. Your points don't seem to apply very well in that case. But I suppose you'd rather argue against something that wasn't ever proposed... for what reasons I'm not sure but if it turns you on, keep at it.
The impact of 3D printing has long been over hyped and exaggerated. Not that it isn't a wonderful technology that has many benefits, but it is far from holding a promise of low cost mass production. 3D printing is a step above CNC, but with more material limitations.
3D printing will continue to expand where it makes sense, but it is not destined to be a mass producing technology any time soon. Its perfect for making molds for mass production though, and its a great product development tool.
No, they claim to be worried by this refusal to rule out registration, which would seem to be the only way to fulfil his pre-election promises.
So you admit the claim he called for a registry is false. Good, we are making progress. You claim that it is the only way to fullfill his election promise "as you interperet them" is just as erroneous, and if you had listened to what he is saying it certainly is not something he is asking for. But, you probably don't even know what he is saying, you probably are only aware of the snippets that are fed to you by the like minded.
Hillary's (and the media's) use of racial charging for the purpose of creating divisiveness if far more offending than any of Trump's poorly worded rhetoric.
It doesn't matter what Trump said as long as we can be offended by what the media and far left says he said.
Except, of course, that he actually did say many offending things. We don't need a far left media to tell us that. We just need to look at his Twitter rants and watch his unedited public speeches.
Yes, he said some offending things. We have the entire list repeated daily to us, despite some being out of context. Does that give license to be inaccurate about this and other things?
Trump never said he wanted to make a muslim registry or ban all muslims or throw them in camps or anything else. All he said was we should stop taking in migrants from syria and other islamic terror zones until we can actually vet these people and find out who they are. I don't understand how that can be a bad thing?
Of course that goes against the narrative of racist identity politics and lies the media continues to push. When will you learn this is the kind of stuff that got trump elected to begin with?

there are people in this country struggling to keep both warm and fed, they'll do any shitty job just to keep their heads above the waters financially, and that's what Amazon et al are banking millions off the back of.
Welcome to the 21st fucking century...
Yes, there are many people struggling, but in comparison with other centuries they have it a heck of a lot better overall. I'd much rather be a struggling wage earner today over one 50 or a hundred years ago. Its not even close.
I suppose we'll help all these struggling workers by not buying stuff. Lets eliminate the need for the few jobs that are available!
Maybe Amazon should placate the protestors by doing what most companies do these days and give each worker just 20 hours a week instead of 60...
The only way to placate the protester is to pat them on the back for how wonderfully considerate they are. As they care more about the appearance of care than anything else. Welcome to the 'here's my list of complaints...look at how wonderful I am' generation.

No they didn't. These cars actually have TWO drivers in them. Stop with the self-driving cars hype. They don't exist.
Well of course they can't drive by themselves until they are 16.

My apologies for being insensitive to any obese, unmotivated sciuridae. I truly regret it.

Don't forget chemical engineering.
For maximizing the explosiveness, of course.

I'd settle for just high strength hard plastics.

Is Trump supposed to deny or rule out everything that is dreamed up by his detractors? I think he's smart not to play that game.
My entire point was that he never said it.
No, they claim to be worried by this refusal to rule out registration, which would seem to be the only way to fulfil his pre-election promises.

In this particular case, they claim to be offended by something he did not say.
It doesn't matter what Trump said as long as we can be offended by what the media and far left says he said.

He has been asked about it directly multiple times and refused to rule it out:
http://www.politifact.com/trut...
Refusing to rule out systemic oppression has a lot of people worried.
Maybe if you listened to people you obviously disagree with you might understand their concerns a bit better.
Please then tell me, exactly what don't I understand? Or did you jump to conclusions based on my accurate comment?

You imply "PhD" and "stupid" are mutually exclusive. Clearly you have never worked with PhDs.

b/c Amazon drove most of the mom and pop stores, as well as many big box retailers like Tower Records and Virgin Music, out of business.
Mom and Pop used to work 70 hours a week keeping their stores running.
Maybe Amazon should placate the protestors by doing what most companies do these days and give each worker just 20 hours a week instead of 60...
The only way to placate the protester is to pat them on the back for how wonderfully considerate they are. As they care more about the appearance of care than anything else. Welcome to the 'here's my list of complaints...look at how wonderful I am' generation.
