...and the city can't collect traffic fines. Eventually, the city would either have to relent that self-driving cars will reduce revenue or that they'll continue to make up new violations to the point that cars would be completely illegal as you couldn't go anywhere without a ticket being issued.
I suppose some cities would have officers on duty regardless of the revenue they can (or cannot) generate... but could cities reduce the number of traffic cops, traffic infraction judges, etc and related support staffand reduce costs to match the loss of traffic revenue?
falling off or through a roof is probably more risky than a careful hobby pilot crashing into anything.... much less hurting someone. Perhaps OP has a two-story home.. increasing the "ladder risk" you propose.
So, some people behave badly. Other people fund poor behavior. Nobody's putting a gun to their heads... it's done voluntarily. That said, glad to know what the title blue checkmark is worth, or not worth, as the case may be.
The job of journalists are to report the news, and ensure that it is as well documented as possible. This is well documented, it gives you all you need to either believe it of not.
I don't think so. "As well documented as possible" leaves way to wide an margin. If something cannot be documented, then "no documentation" *is* "as well documented as possible".
"To report the news" means there is... well... news. Not rumor nor speculation nor some unknown source with unknown motives and uncertain access.
If you don't think the source is credible, then don't believe the report -- it's as simple as that. There's no need for fascism.
Fair point regarding fascism, however isn't the job of journalists to report facts that have been checked and corroborated, and to refrain from "reporting" while they follow leads until they lead to facts or otherwise?
...like those in the trades, probably best rejuvenate and relax best by working their minds. Those who work with their minds, probably best rejuvenate and relax by being more active.
I heard that somewhere, but can't give proper attribution.
Indeed - were this a publicly traded company, shareholders would want to hold someone's feet to the fire. It's too bad when the fire is fueled by cash burned while the CEO messes up, and then more cash is given tot he CEO has s/he departs with their golden parachute.
Thank you for the apology. My mis-worded response didn't warrant it, but my point still stands. "American" is a misnomer commonly used to describe us folks who live in the USA. I travel a lot, and on a particular trip an Egyptian I had met to work will called me "an American". I politely explained I'm from the USA, and no more "American" than he is "African". We've been close friends ever since that trip.
>>Just curious, do you think the United States is a country?
Yes, and "America" is one of three continents. To describe someone as an "American" is kind of like calling someone from Libya an "African." BTW, if the USA isn't an country, then I'm a Californian.
I did throw a shitfit and told her that if she wanted to take another Greyhound bus trip, it would be as a single parent. She is quite headstrong, but if that was all the respect I'd get after having to worry about what I knew was going to happen, fuck it.
Wow man - what kind of ultimatum is that for your wife? Cherish her, love her, support her. Dude, someday you'll wish you had these kinds of problems. Until then, enjoy life/with/ her.
Eesh man. I think I understand what you're suggesting, but give the guy a break for doing the right thing. Perhaps FB Live was the handiest option to document what was going down? Once he had his proof, he was able to do something about it. You seem to think this was a case of "ready fire aim" but it worked.
So many of the "television" apps require that I have a cable subscription to use them. So, while I applaud Apple for making it easier, what I really want is to pay a (reasonably modest) fee to get the "channels" I want without having a cable or satellite subscription.
When I'm trying to decide which car I should buy, the first people I look to are billionaires. Since their lifestyles and mine are so similar, and since they're obviously so much smarter than I am, I just assume that their decisions are the correct ones.
Steve Wozniak is no billionaire But to your point, his ~$100mil net work means he can purchase scores of bleeding edge lemons and still have enough left over for the emergency uber ride or two.
I own my autos for a looooong time, enough time (you saw my note about the extended warranty?) for there to be a financial return. So, yes - I *can* purchase an electric car "to save money".;-)
As someone who'd love an electric car, I'm already out of the running with a family of four children. I don't have the cash for a "second" car - it make better financial sense for me to spend that cash on gasoline.
That said, I was salivating over the Model 3. The Bolt looks good, and is a step in the right direction, but it's a MUCH smaller vehicle. Plus, as a Chevy owner, I don't hear ANY stories of how my car's manufacturer goes above and beyond to support me. Shoot, my car company even declined to honor a transferred warranty from the previous owner (I paid my fee) and then later declined to honor a voluntary recall because my vehicle was beyond their mileage limit by 100 miles.
Seems like all I hear about Tesla is "we're working to become awesome" and from their owners "it's true, they are awesome." Aim for that level of satisfaction, Chevy, and I'll purchase an Acadia.
>> have to provide the same support lifetimes as, say, automobiles or aircraft.
The thing is, new Chromebooks don't cost what new cars or new airplanes cost. If we regulate this, should we expect $200 Chromebooks to become $20,000 Chromebooks?
I don't understand. When submitting for an SSL cert I don't recall ever providing an IP address. Praytell how does an SSL cert know that I am on the proper IP Address?
I don't think I have had a CFL replace an incandescent bulb and last as long as the claim. Thankfully I get them at Costco who lets me trade them in for replacements.
Also, the light quality isn't that great.
Sure, they save some eletricity... but I'm not sure I am saving money.

Not to mention, there is value in learning how to research.
