Yeah depends on what you are doing, if you are reading the same files over and over (or opening and closing the same apps over and over).
However where do you draw the line? You could cache your whole hard drive in ram...
I think you have to understand that government and people who write regulations are reactive and didn't forese things, uber included. Thus if or not uber is legals on what wording that just happens to be used because the authors had no idea this sort of thing would be a technical possibility.
Example in my state a taxi is a car service you order by "telecommunications". Is an app telecommunications? Technically no, as there is no "tele" but a judge might say yes.
In a neighboring state, you are only a taxi if you "stand for hire" in a public space, so technically you just have to accept a ride request while in a private car park, making uber legal?
In another state a taxi is defined as a car service you don't book in advance, making any use of uber legal or possibly illegal - it will be up to a judge if using the app is making a booking or the electronic equivalent of hailing.
Because of natural law, judges will usually side with regulation limiting as few things as possible, and expect regulators to amend the definitions and laws. The same is true of groups set up to enforce regulation.
So generally uber is far more legal than is often said, or it at least is an untested grey area under most laws. (I don't know the specific wording of UK London laws).
Australian banks had to not accept Australian signatures for Australian cards. Foreign credit cards on visa and MasterCard would still work with signature.
Today it's very very rare to see signature and ibn most places they won't even have a pen any more.
It's more complicated than that. Engineers in all the companies have code to tune output in various conditions. Looks like there engineers were able to have software that recognised when the car was probably being driven in a test, and change how it behaved. Was it deliberate? Or was it a way to optimise performance under certain conditions?
They probably haven't broken the law, since the code runs all the time by itself and detects certain driving style by itself. There is no mode manually turned on and off.
The greenies don't believe in growth. They are calling for a steady state economy, where technology and living standards are capped, because clearly they are at prefect levels already.
I think they are saying the board is funded by government. So basically your taxes are being used top fund bloggers to pay about eggs to hopefully surpress innovation.
Not only that, but most of population is dirt poor. India currently pays for nearly 1/3 of government expenditure, which is keeping the whole country from collapse. They are reliant on aid just to feed their people. The average income is $2k, but the median is only $130. Tells you what you need to know about the ruling class.
Yeah the peasants of bhutan must be thrilled, while they are substanance farming, living off free foreign aid rice imported from India, at least thru have the comfort of knowing that they will always have a green forest to look at.
It's not just that, it's the sick way people are saying this is a great model and great idea. Bhatan has most of its people living in poverty spending all their time in quarries trying to dig out enough concrete and gypsum to trade to food. They have a massive trade deficit and get food by through political connections to India.
But hey this program will allow the elitists to drive past the slums in teslas, and the rainforest will hide the view of the poor from the ivory towers of the monarchy.
Inflation is a devalue in money because more money is created. If you raise the hand outs by cutting spending our raising taxes, there will be no inflation.
If you print the money or off thin air, it won't be inflation, it will be hyper inflation.
Your idea would cost about $3trillion dollars per year just for the USA.
What are you going to tax or what are you going to cut from the federal budget to pay for it?
I have always thought that the federation was a communist society. We are told that they don't need money. But the two fundamental rules of economics are:
1. We are in a universe of scarcity
2. People have ever increasing unlimited desires and wants
In the federation, we are told that everyone gets what they need, yet we constantly see scarcity everywhere. There is scarcity of engergy, transporter credits and limitations. There is an almost endless list of things people can gain credits and perks for. Then there is the huge amount of laws and regulations. Even trading and using something as money is illegal.
The federation has never been liberal, it has always been communist. It has just been hidden behind a higher level of technology.
You are being very unfair to the real debate.
You are skipping over the magnitude of what is happening. The degree of certainty over what is happening. The magnitude of the effect it will have. Other uses of resources needed to mitigate out. There really is no serious denialism. You can't deny facts. What you can deny is the conclusions which have involved guess work or poor economics
Even if you believe global warming and fully accept IPCC summary for policy makers, there is basically no scientific reason to do anything about climate change. The best economic estimates are that free market adaptation will cost a few prevent of world GDP decades from now. Meanwhile world GDP is increasing by that amount every year. In other words, we are probably going to get richer in the next few decades by an amount that is almost certainly now than the negative impacts of climate change as the facts and figures currently add up.
Have a look at the Google car presentation at TED.
If you record enough cars driving around long enough, you will get a big big database of interactions and you will be able to figure out how to identify the situations from sensor data and code an algorithm of how to react.
Even though a robotic cars will eventually face situations they have never seen, the car will will be an order of magnitude safer than human driven cars. you just have to get the chance of an a situation not fitting the algorithm and being detected properly down to below the average human failure rate.
Google appear to already be there at least for urban and free way driving.
No artificial intelligence is involved, just signal processing and algorithms.
Non compete is off value to the employee more the than the employer. Usually it is employees who want the clause, as the business will pay them more and give them much higher severance.
My company massively bumps up severance of you sign a non compete, but they can't force you to, it's mutually beneficial.
Even though your requirements are so unique that they will only be able to sell it in single digits, I'm sure they will be happy to know you loved it, after all: Apple casters to the hundreds of millions of other users.
Australians have a right not to be offended.
We literally have a law banning something that is likely to cause offense
That is where the left is headed as well.
I would say kick starter doesn't really have a down side. People just get what they deserve.
I back projects that clearly have an actual working product and final design, and they are seeking money only because they need to buy parts in bulk to get the price down.
By sticking to those minimum requirements, I haven't been burned at all.
However many kickstarters don't really have a product at all. They have a completely unproven idea. I have no problem with this - if they are honest about it. However most are not. They make a movie as if the product exists - even thought it doesn't and hasn't even been designed our prototyped. They lie about abilities and talk about them as if the product is real.
It's easy to spot the scammers, their timeline is always filled with rubbish like "final design" "testing" etc.
A real product time line will simply be "order this part to be manufactured","put together","ship out".
But you are wrong. It is an objective process. They seem to pick ones which they know will be successful, not just in raising the funds, but in actually delivering to backers.
Of course they have a vested interest in funded starts being successful, otherwise backers will leave and have on confidence in the system.
Giving away how they pick would be like Google giving away its search algorithm.

Can you plug in a hub then plug in multiple devices? Could you do a usb mouse, usb keyboard, usb drive, and usb vga adaptor?

Like all other worker rights, it will just mean slightly lower pay rises over the next few years as the employers recover the costs.

You missed the part where the "Console" will just be an API for a smart phone / apple tv / etc.
Yep same thing, this is not news worthy.... File this under obvious.

And that's just radio radiation. What about the more harmful tradition?
What about electric heaters? They spew the much more harmful infra red radiation.
What about light bulbs? They spew the much more harmful visible spectrum radiation.
What a sun light? It contains the much more harmful ultra violet radiation.

Yes look up IMSI catchers.
