It's about 95 percent bs. That answer your question? His argument is as stupid as saying that because you eat at a restaurant, you should have a say in it and/or a cut of the profits. Success has many parents, but failure is an orphan, and he thinks that users have a claim on someone else's kids.
Ignoring pedestrians and cyclists is a feature, not a bug. How else are they going to get pedestrians and cyclists to usecself driving cars except by making walking and cycling too dangerous, hence illegal? And then it will be your fault when you get hit, and what pedestrian wants to pay the high cost of insurance just to walk?
Another freetard. Very few people can make a living writing free code. And a lot of that free code is crap clones of other software that somebody took time and effort to create. Where are all the great original open source games? Top selling open source productivity applications? Hundred billion dollar open source businesses keeping people employed and pumping money back into the economy? Open source is great for some things, but there will never be but a small minority who will be able to earn a living writing open source code.
Give the source to the government, might as well give it to North Korea, China, and Eastern Europe, because they will either get it themselves or buy it from an independent contractor/ hacker.
Wrong. The majority of federal spending goes to one place - military. That is greater than everything else combined, including war veterans, old people, welfare, health care, running the government, pensions, etc. The primary job of the feds is to feed the machine, not to serve the people.
We had them, nobody used them. Who wants to be waiting in a wheelchair in a snow storm? Instead, you can book a special handicapped bus or taxi door to door for the cost of a bus ticket, with the transit company making up the difference. Turns out it doesn't cost much more to the system, while allowing greater throughput and more precise scheduling of bus stops. An adapted minivan can take 3 wheelchairs and 3 attendants. A handicapped minibus can take more.
We did keep the ability of the buses to lower the right side to make it easier for people with reduced mobility to get on and off. You'll get people to give up their cars if you make the service good enough.
Done properly, buses make sense. Whoever wrote this article needs to move to a city with a modern public transit system. No paper money accepted. The machine that replaced the old fare box is exact change or electronic passes only. Driver doesn't waste time making change. No stopping at rail crossings. Change the law so buses pulling back into traffic after a stop have the right of way, articulated double length buses that cruise along the shoulder at 100 while traffic on the highway is barely crawling along, buses that run on time, a subway system that is clean, mobile apps so you can find the nearest stops, exact distance, and when the next dozen or more buses are passing, handicapped buses and taxis that charge only the regular bus fare, with the transit company making up the differenci, integrated light rail to the boonies, buses stopping between regular stops at night so that women can safely get off closer to home, proper coordination of stops so that connecting buses can often simultaneously exchange passengers who want to transfer, lots of bus shelters, etc. Heck, next year we're getting real time GPS tracking so we'll do even better than +/- 1 minute for each stop that we currently have, and air conditioning. Real air conditioning, not the crappy heat exchangers that I see the Brits complaining about. Sure it needs subsidies of over a billion a year, but it takes enough cars off the road to avoid spending billions on bigger roads and road maintenance, so everyone comes out ahead.
You're in for a big surprise. User names are far from unique on Facebook. You having an account in your name doesn't stop 100 other people from having accounts with the same name.
How do you pardon someone who has been indicted but not convicted? That would be the kiss of death, an admission that she was guilty and that everyone knows it. The superdelegates would have no choice but to back sanders - having someone as president who was indicted and then pardoned would make it almost impossible for other governments to do business as usual.
It would be as ludicrous as Nixon staying in office by pardoning himself.
If it's not illegal here, the government won't extradite. It's not illegal here to disobey a US judge's orders. That's been proven time and again.:-) So, test away.
Not to moi:-) In case you haven't noticed, there's been a huge push to make programming a low-cost commodity. That's possible with simple scripting languages, not so much with C, etc.
Doesn't mean I have to go out and create a brand new tool for them - that's what government contracts are for. The POLICE can search, but they can't order you to create new tools to aid in their search. Now the FBI already has the phone, so there.s no need for a writ to seize or search it. It's just that the FBI can't search it. That's their job. They can't do their job, so sad, but all they can do is request, that same magic word you used for opening a safe or a safety deposit box.
Besides, there is NO PROBABLE CAUSE here - there is no proof that the phone contains information they need, just a (very weak) suspicion. The other phones were destroyed by the perps, but this one wasn't which is a pretty good indicator that this whole thing is not about any supposed evidence on the phone, but about breaking into thousands of phones, which they now admit they want to do, after first denying it.
Ordering apple to basically destroy their market by doing this is the same as confiscation without compensation. The US doesn't like it when other countries nationalize US assets, so stop being hypocrites. Besides, the US cannot afford the damage claims, both from Apple and from individual users.

But this OS runs on 200% more smug than other OSes. Clearly that makes it superior.
Considering that at this point it's one big circle jerk, I think you misspelled smeg.
Bitcoin is not money. China controls the majority of bitcoin mining. This is not smart.
Your math is off. There are no geosynchronous orbits that don't pass through the earth's shadow.
Managerial engineering is another way to say a cattle prod, a rolled up carpet, a couple of bags of lime and 2 shovels.
Definitely not "in the real world." Somebody's been reading their own pep talks and mistaking them for reality. Why is this even a story?

But we STILL get paid less
Better to have fewer friends, but spend more time with them, than more friends, and only shallow interactions ...
It was game over the moment they started calling themselves "UX Experts."

I just hope they do this in the memory of Grissom, White, and Chaffee. That was one of my first early childhood scars.
Absolutely.
Fire departments regularly burn old abandoned homes in controlled fires. great teaching aid.
Fire and balls are two words you don't want to be used in a sentence describing your pants.
Jack nimble, jack be quick,
Jack jump over the candle stick
Goodness gracious, great balls of fire.
Not when internal over-pressure pops the seams (just look at how quickly the Apollo 1 fire happened).
It's official: Metro is a national embarrassment."
The US electoral process, on the other hand, is an international embarrassment. I never watch reality TV, and even I'm keeping track of it.
