Perhaps you should ask that question to your insurance provider - yes, there is a line that is crossed, generally if you are not soliciting for work then you are on one side of it, and if you are soliciting for work then you are on the other side of it. If your friend can call you up at any time and get a lift from A to B, in return for remuneration of some sort, then your insurance company will probably start looking at that as a business venture sooner rather than later, and will start requiring you to take out the right level of insurance.
It would also be prudent to check out your countries tax laws to also see where the line lies - would you be required to pay taxes on the remuneration? If so, then its a business you are running rather than a voluntary service amongst friends.
Certain people seem to think Uber is special in some way, and make weird analogies in order to explain it away as something it is not. Sorry, but the "but what if I take gas money from a friend" argument has been covered for decades, and Uber falls on the business side of that particular line.
Yes, because those separate bike lanes don't ever have to cross the path of cars and other motorised vehicles - say, at junctions or turnings etc. Just the sort of place where impaired decision making abilities could put a cyclist into a dangerous situation...
So yes, there are worse case scenarios for drunk cyclists than just scratches and bruises.
You are being very America centric there, and that doesn't work for a lot of the rest of the world.
For example, no cars in the UK have ICE block heaters. I have yet to see an EV charge point at any shopping centre, and pretty much all stadiums here have zero spectator parking (which isn't really an issue as it means neither a ICE or an EV vehicle would be used, I'm just pointing that out).
No such thing happens with islam. Every day atrocities are committed in name of islam. There's a billion muslims out there who could stand up and show disgust for the atrocities. Doesn't happen.
Its the same difference between any other punishment being legitimate or not - laws. If the killing is against the law, its murder. If its not against the law, its legitimate. Its the same rule of law we have today - the exact same action is either legal or not based on context and laws.
Sorry, still not entrapment - even by booking him, you aren't enticing the driver to do something he wouldn't have otherwise have been willing to do. He would still be taking bookings before and after you, so he's still culpable.
If you enticed someone to sign up for Uber and then take your booking - that's entrapment. If he's already available to take bookings, its not entrapment.
Actually yes, there are plenty of admins out there who are interested in this sort of technical preview - but of course, if you want to stay in the narrow bounds of Slashdot group think where everyone hates MS and its products, then have fun.
The rest of us get on with life in your mental absence.
The problem with electric is that massive areas of Europe are totally and utterly useless for owning electric vehicles, because the norm here is for unallocated street parking, meaning you can't charge it overnight.
Depends what it refers to here in the UK. 1p is a penny, 1/10 of £1 is ten pence, but 10 1p coins is ten pennies if referring to the coins, or ten pence if referring to the monetary amount.
The only time (other than due to capacity issues) BT will insist on ADSL over fibre is when there isn't an up to date survey for your property - such as in the case of a brand new building.
I had to place an order for a phone line and ADSL with my ISP and wait for it to be activated before the survey (done during the process) was updated on the Open Reach database and fibre suddenly became available. My ISP was fine about upgrading my internet from ADSL to fibre just a week into my 12 month ADSL contract with no charges.
ADSL is always offered because its pretty much ubiquitous these days - you have to be fairly way out in the sticks for it not to apply, so if you are in a postcode region which offers ADSL then ISPs can offer it without an up to date survey. Fibre however requires an up to date survey - insist your ISP request one to be done if you think you should have access to fibre.
No, Google got hammered for specifically circumventing a security setting on the browser side in order to do something (yes, the browser is also at fault, but in this case Google was doing something tantamount to exploiting a security issue) - which is entirely different to not doing something server side with data voluntarily sent by the browser.
The Google issue is entirely different to the advertising tracking issue.
You mean do it the proper way? As in ensure the browser doesn't pass on information you don't want it to pass on?
All this Do Not Track bullshit really is is you asking random third parties not to do stuff with the data you voluntarily and willingly hand over to them - surely it would be better they didn't have it in the first place...?
So you are fine with the concept of already earned money and assets being taxed time and again? Because that's what you are pushing when you bring wealth into the discussion.
In fact, I would bet that the reduced metal machining from not having a solid-block engine under the hood probably saves overall manufacturing emissions, once you factor it all the way back to the metal foundry, refinery, and strip mine. Only the strip mine would be comparable for rare earths that go into batteries. The refinery is much smaller due to smaller volumes and the foundry isn't really necessary at all.
There's an awful lot of wiring in them there electric motors which still need mining, refining and drawing out.
In the situation where you have no power and the RAT is deployed, even an Airbus would no longer be in "normal law" - its well beyond that at that point.
If the auto pilot is disconnected, the aircraft will not do anything itself to maintain speed, altitude, attitude or heading, unless it reaches one of the flight envelope limits and then it will attempt to adjust factors to accommodate the limit being reached, but in general the aircraft will leisurely roll and yaw based on external factors such as wind, turbulence etc.
If the aircraft is in an abnormal law situation, with no power other than the RAT, the FBW system does nothing other than direct connection between input and control surfaces - so the aircraft will yaw and roll at will with no limit . It won't even attempt to accommodate any flight envelope limits being reached.
Depends on the routes you fly - I fly regularly Amsterdam-Uganda and then Uganda-Kenya-Amsterdam as the return trip. The outbound leg is always 100% full. The flight back from Kenya to Amsterdam has always been a 777, and has always had less than 50 passengers on board for the entire aircraft. Its not so much having empty seats next to you but rather being the only person in 4 or 5 entire rows.
Auto pilot wouldn't have been able to detect the water level and who knows what it would have been trying to do with no power and a glide decent.
In that situation, with no power, the autopilot would have automatically disconnected, there is no way the aircraft would have been under autopilot control after the fuel ran out and the RAT (ram air turbine, the emergency power system) deployed.

You are referring to the Giants Star series of books, which are excellent.

Why would electrical companies get involved with end user infrastructure, and wouldn't it be a subsidy if governments got involved?
Who said I'm applying a US law at all? Why make that assumption?
Who would that be, exactly? The oil companies? I don't think you thought that one through...

You really haven't been to the UK, have you?
Who is going to fund hundreds of millions of such chargers...?
