No, I'm just saying once you get ALL the other players into the mix....EPA, NIMBYs, multiple jurisdictions....it will be FAR more expensive and WAY late.
In my local area, we recently cranked up 'light rail'. Of course, making that light rail actually go across city lines to where it needs to go is a major clusterfuck. Why? Because it is a different 'city'. Norfolk VA + Virginia Beach. A major east cost resort destination. But that doesn't matter...it's a different city, so we need a whole new series of impact studies and city funding. Designing and funding the thing from downtown to the beach from the start would have been an obvious way to build it. But no....Downtown to 1/2way to the beach. Because....fuck you, gimme my kickback.
Interesting. We are continually told that UK/EU data protection laws are sooo much better than in the US and elsewhere, and this type of thing can never happen.
I am a Suntrust customer. Have been for years. There aren't a lot of alternatives, unless you go to a small local Credit Union or similar. The mergers and buyouts over the last decade means BoA, Wells Fargo, or other large asshole bank.
(and your bank has probably done something similar)
Kiss my large brown ass. If the 'severance package' includes a single check equaling 2 years full pay, payable on the day of my exit, then we'll talk. Otherwise? KMLBA.
The actual article, once you freaking find it, has a one liner about "Cellphone records showed he was possibly in the area of DeKalb Avenue a couple of hours later." After that, it was just people walking around searching.
How the hell is this 'cell phone pings'? I was expecting some uber geeky geolocation doodad written in an overnight Cheeto induced haze. (no, not THAT "uber")
What, his phone did the auto check-in thing via some standard 'app'?
"Hey, if you give us some data, we may be required to cough up to some government entity if they have a court order. If they ask, we will. Our business is more important than you, and we will not fall on our sword to protect the incredibly personal and identifiable info that you gave of your own free will."
I'm quite a bit older than you, and you can take my Kindle only when my fingers are cold and dead. I like dead tree as well, but the convenience of the Kindle is hard to beat. The Fire or other glossy tablets? Not so much. A dedicated e-Ink reader is a whole other thing. On my second one. The screen on my first one started dying after 4 years, so I got a Paperwhite last week.
He's looking for a solution for his relative, today. Not a research project that may bear fruit after a couple of decades and many millions of dollars. Will we get there eventually? Sure. Not anytime soon, though.
LED's, arrows on the floor. smartphone, arudino, flip book, GPS...all fail
If he can't remember the way down the hall to the dining hall, how in the hell is he going to remember to pick and follow directions on the damn phone?
How to get him to the dining hall and back? Someone holding his hand in both directions.
"Free" for some values of "paid for by other people"
Unless universities spring up out of the ground by themselves, and professors receive no remuneration, someone is paying for it This also applies to healthcare.
Add weight, or move weight, to get the CG to the proper location during ejection. This NOT a failing of the jet, but rather one of those things you find in testing. Which is what "testing" is for.
Having said that, the F-35 is a bit of a boondoggle.
You merkins get all bent out of shape just showing a nipple on tv . God knows what will happen if you actually see some tits. That only counts on about 5 channels.
CBS, ABC, NBC, Fox, PBS. The other 180 brazillion channels...fair game. Tits away.
In the real world where I work, not a single American programmer that I know has gone out of town for a vacation in over a decade.
Yeah, right. In the other real world (USA) where *I* work, I don't know a single programmer that hasn't taken one or more vacations every year this century.
HAHA as if GM and Ford even belong on that list. They make cars. If you get 100k miles out of them, you're pretty fortunate. That's about all you can say.
Of my last 4 vehicles, they totaled just under 1,000,000 miles. And still counting. 3 Fords and a Chevy. If we fold in my wife's Saturn (GM), over a million.

Initial estimate - $68 billion and completed by 2022
Final bill - $250 billion, and completed by 2045.
Or, never...But they will spend that $250B.
Yes, all those suck. Unfortunately, the Democrats are no better. DMCA, COPA, etc.

I am also a SunTrust customer. Which other asshole bank do you plan on switching to?

So are cars and trucks. Which already require 'registration'.

Neither you, anyone you know, or your grandchildren, or anyone they know.
Eventually, probably yes, this will be a 'thing'.
And this is why when I'm decommissioning a PC, the hard drive is removed, taken to the range, and literally shot to pieces.
Heathen. You don't recover the fridge magnets?

Probably 100% cloud cover here on the mid atlantic coast.
"You rocket people. I want to see some dudes walking around on the Moon. You have 7 years. Do it."
And they did.
Today, not so much. Christ...it takes 20 years just to get some new airplane off the ground.
