The robot is not configured in a way to enable X-ray scanning of the luggages. Metal detection is useless, these luggages are going into the cargo space and carrying metal in such luggages is not forbidden. You cannot carry a gun, a knife through the passengers' security area. That's not what these robots are intend to.
Performing facial recognition and identification is a plus at my opinion, it just accelerate the processing no need anymore to go to a counter of the airline company.
If a forced upgrade happened and crashed our PCs while in the middle of coordinating rangers under fire from armed militarized poachers, blood could literally be on Microsoft's hands," said one member of the team.
No, you are responsible for all blood because you picked the wrong platform, wrong OS for operation of a system on which human life depends on. YOU and nobody else are responsible to design a system resistant to outages to ensure safe operation of your staff. Microsfot shares absolutely no responsability in that. You are an idiot.
Did I say ALL non-Abrahamic religions believe in a grand design or something like that? No. The point is Elon Musk is believing into a grand design scheme if he believes we are living into a computer simulation or game and the amount of people believing into something like that is much larger than 3 billion people worldwide.
Musk is obviously a religious freak. His strong faith into space quest is a remanant of protestantism were biblical texts are interpreted in a way the human kind is born to conquer the stars and dominate the universe. This is the very roots of his entrepreneurship.
You are absolutely right. We are back to the original point. Giving promotion, pay raises, etc based on sex or race because we decided faked equality is more important than rewarding genuine talent is a huge waste of resources.
Well, obviously Tim Cook is an idiot. The same guy that said helping the FBI will open a can of worms while the can was already wide opened. He just tried to make people still think it was closed. The best thing Apple could do to itself is to fire this guy.
As a business owner, I don't believe I have any right to have any expectations after business hours, unless it was agreed upon on what is reasonable and what isn't and what compensation will be given if for any reason I am in the obligation to ask for something unreasonable. Why is that? Because the reverse also hold. If the employee is having personal matters that requires his/her immediate attention at the risk of not showing at work, these matters must also have been agreed upon, on what is reasonable and what isn't. If something is unreasonable, well, that's still possible if we agreed upon that before and decided on how the business will be compensated if such a thing happens. It's not only for the business, it is also for the other workers which may have to do extra work in absence of this employee.
There is many ways to work on this. You can set a pool of days per year an employee can pick in for personal reasons without urgency but requiring some kind of authorization and a pool of days per year you may ask an employee to work extra hours if he agrees to and/or provide extra compensation for these hours.
The key being everything must be in the compensation package for the employee with clear lines of conduct. An employee is not a shareholder, never forget that as a business owner. The only compensation an employee gets from the business is his/her compensation plan (salary, vacations, etc). If you expect the employee to behave like a shareholder, make him/her a shareholder.
Are you silly? In my parking lot with 200 parking space, there is 2 chargers and they are for private spaces. They are locked and there is a meter on them. The lights are dimmed or switched off by movement detectors. Do you really think a parking lot owner will pay free electricity for everyone? Do you have any notion of electrical circuits? A 15 amp circuit won't feed 200 cars trying to charge at the same time during 8 hours. To install charging station everywhere, the input box and line to the parking must be upgraded at a large cost.
That's also the reason why you will not have powerful enough and in quantity charging stations at a gas/service station.
Hydrogen cells, if a design can make them secure, is much more handy and doesn't need to redesign the current infrastructure at a high cost. That's why the car industry believe and wish the hydrogen cells is the future. Otherwise, the conversion will be costly and painful when possible, because there will be many cases where it will just not be possible. A significant amount of large countries don't have reliable electricity networks (i.e.: India).
RIM business started dying before they made concessions on the privacy. In face, they made concessions on privacy exactly because they were not selling anymore enough devices and cannot afford to cost to lose a whole country's market like India or Pakistan. Don't confuse the cause and the effect.
IBM sold its PC business while it was still worthing something. The PC business is dying everywhere and IBM already started in the 90s the transformation to make the PC business a separated entity that can be sold when needed. That's what they did. The profit margin on the PC business is not large enough for IBM. In fact, they are going a bit away from the hardware business. This transformation was already initiated early 90s. It is something different we are talking about with the consumer market for smartphones. Since now, Apple was able to justify a high price tag for its gadgets. They may not be able to do it for a long time, so, they need another source of revenues with a large profit margin. What is it?
Of course they can throw a lot of money to solve their problem an hire resources from Google, Amazon and others as needed and save their arses. However, at some point, the amount of money they will need to throw at this problem to close the gap will impact the stability of the enterprise. Historically, Apple has solved its problem with manufacturing and design. This is an entire different set of skills of what is probably now required. It will cost them a lot to survive.
Yeah, and to show the requested percentage of local/regional/national/provincial content, what are they doing? They rebrand USA shows at a royality fee. Then, they claim local/regional/national/provincial content because the puppets in the show are Canadian.
In short, what they are asking for, is Netflix and others to pay for the royalities they are getting when one of their show is rebranded (I am not aware it happened to Netflix yet, but since they are now a producer, it is a matter of time before it happen).
The exact reason I no longer subscribe to any TV channel here and I am a subscriber of Netflix, is because I am tired of the cheap rebranded productions we are presented. I don't care anymore about the French content. So, I hope my dollars will fund no more rebranding. I better see the original stuff.

Your argument is simply stupid given the components of a lethal cocktail. The two first injections are given exactly for the opposite purpose you claim. Induce a paralysis state and decontract the subject sentenced to death. This is so, because the third injection is the actual lethal one and is actually very painful inducing a cardiac arrest.
Btw, just in case you don't know about it, in countries where medically assisted suicide is legal, this is about the same cocktail they administer to patients. No one actually knows if the patient suffer or not, they simply know he/she is unable to manifest any suffering.
You are right. This is bullshit. He didn't mention anything about the density of transistors. So, since this is a specialized chip, the performance claim cannot be compared to a general purpose chip.
Maybe that's what they plan to do. In the mean time, they just want to leverage the deadline date to push as much as they can people to upgrade. I believe they just want all previous versions of Windows to disappear as quickly as possible and erase the past.
And you missed that minimum wage increase drive wage increase for almost any other job. To afford the increase in price of the products made with labor paid at the minimum wage everyone else will eventually get a salary increase over a period of a few years. After that, the current situation you tried addressing by increasing the minimum wage will still prevail. At the end, it will not solve anything. All the prices of goods and services will be driven up in order to pay for increased salaries.

Maybe you should have read TFA. Just a though.

Like the alternatives are not doing the same. Really naive.
They are, they just need the money.
No market or too small market to justify the cost or multiple small markets for each national language.
