I see this enough that I have to really wonder where the hell people are living that they can't get a taxi? I haven't been to NYC, but I've been all over the world, Paris, Hong Kong, lived in the San Francisco Bay Area a while & I've NEVER had a problem getting a taxi.
In the San Francisco bay area, actually. Not in the city, though: I've never had a problem in the actual city.
Most of the places you listed are big cities or heavy metropolitan areas. If you live in Amsterdam, there's no problem getting a taxi. If you're in New York's central park, there's no problem getting a taxi. If you're in Eindhoven, it's tougher.
I'm going to guess that someone's leadership position is in severe trouble if this trial goes the wrong way for them.
The trial is going to go the wrong way for them. Google has several patents that Uber copied, they have trade secret laws that are in their favor, and some California competition laws that are in their favor. The evidence is heavily stacked against them at this point: they stole the LIDAR system that Google built and patented. An employee copied the LIDAR designs to a USB key, and that showed up in the logs. Besides that, witnesses heard him talking about his plans while he was still working for Google.
The question is how badly it will go for them. If it turns out that the company knew about the stolen technology, then it's going to hurt a lot. Even if they didn't, Google might be able to completely kill Uber's self-driving car program. Most likely they are going to settle, but right now they are just discovering how bad the settlement terms will be.
But how come no story on Susan Rice having unmasked multiple people in the Trump camp
Probably because no one cares about that.
Seriously, we have possible sarin gas attacks in Syria, problems in N Korea, and we're talking about Susan Rice who is gone and no longer has power, and really didn't do that much bad to begin with. Time to move on.
the fact that there is growing evidence of significant ties between Trump and Putin
The rest of your post is on point, but this part.......there isn't much evidence of "significant ties." The whole thing looks like another attempt at a red scare.
It's worth mentioning that the world literally went around before the US had 'constant debt,' too. Debt literally causes nations to fail. In the literal meaning of the word literal; not the figurative meaning.
Add to that: this article wasn't the result of science, it's just a media post, designed specifically for sensationalism. It isn't based on a scientific study.
The article isn't a scientific article, it's not based on a study. It's full of breathless "worst-scenario" predictions, which it treats as facts.
The article is trash. If it were an actual peer reviewed study, it would be worth reading and commenting on. But it's not, it's an alarmist article that makes science look bad because people associate it with scientists, even though the scientific process had absolutely nothing to do with the creation of this article.
There is a difference between "It can't be fixed" and "The #rightwingnuts refuse to fix it".
The real question is, "How much extra are you willing to pay in taxes (etc) to stop it?"
If you're a typical person, the answer is "not enough." #rightwingnuts are just willing to admit it.
Yeah, I respect your loyalty to Ada, and I'm sorry you can't develop in it. The world would be better if you could.
C# isn't completely defined. It has undefined behavior as well. It was so much effort to completely define ML that few people have wanted to go through the effort of completely defining a language since then.
Also, since you are a better programmer than average, if you had spent two years converting old C to C, it still would have been much safer and more readable code. That is not because of the language, that is because of you.
As long as clear instructions are provided for reading them, it should be ok. It's not clear those requirements have been met, but still better than a poke in the eye.
Guy I knew always interviewed in extremely trashy clothes. He figured it would rule out any office that had too strict a dress code, since he didn't want to work there. Last I checked he was working at Google, so it must be working out for him.
I'm not an American, but couldn't this be considered interstate commerce which would be federally regulated?
Most likely the federal government could make a law on the subject if they wanted to, and that law would override any state regulations it conflicted with, but since the federal government hasn't done anything on the topic, the states are free to regulate as they wish.
Those are good supporting reasons.
I disagree, of course, because I think you can use techniques to get the same benefits in C, but you know, we're probably never going to come to full agreement. Exchange of ideas is good enough.:)
Nah dude, look, almost every language since 1980 has copied C syntax. If it were a bad language, Java wouldn't have copied the syntax.
Also, "undefined behavior" isn't an ugly hack, it's just reality in language design. Every language has undefined behavior except a special few like ML. Complaining about undefined behavior in a language is generally a sign that someone has no idea when it comes to language design.
I was driven out of every job, mainly because I didn't respond properly when ordered to "do it wrong or you're fired."
Just an FYI, I have been absolutely willing to "do it wrong" (nothing unethical, of course), but it doesn't seem to help. If a manager doesn't like you, it's not because of the work you're doing, it's because he feels threatened, or has inter-personal issues, etc.

From 2009 to 2013, drunk-driving accidents in New York killed 1,715 people, according to the federal data.
Source. Maybe you just don't know your own city.

I don't know if "I can actually get one to pick me up" is revolutionary, but that's why I prefer Uber over Taxis.
Lol, yeah only a simple subpoena to Amazon and they know exactly who you are,
If you're trying to hide from the government, VPN isn't going to save you.

If you have tech skills, the easiest thing to do is set up your own VPN on an AWS box. Cheap, not too hard, you can use SSH or you can use openSwan.
One person's "pointless" is another person's "point"
His instincts lean towards scrapping onerous, pointless regulations.
Honestly: who favors imposing onerous, pointless regulations?
ok, I'll watch more carefully and see if people who call themselves libertarian match that label.

I can't think of any definition of "Libertarian" that matches Trump. What are you thinking there?

The only thing missing from the summary is the IP address. For no reason.
Maybe, but I doubt Huffington Post readers will care at all.
