it may well turn out 49% A, 41% B, and 10% C. Thus the party we least liked, A, is the winner.
That's exactly what happened in 1992. Without Ross Perot splitting the Republican vote we would have forgotten all about Bill Clinton by now, and never would have seen the bubbles he brought on and the subsequent recessions that we still haven't recovered from.
It's always in your interest to vote for the candidate closest to your preferences, even if they're not all that close. Because that influences the next candidate in the next election far more than a 3rd party candidate getting a couple of percent.
The problem is companies have poor understanding on what the techies do
That's a large part of it. Upper management listens to the offshore companies telling them how much experience their people have in the area. Labor rates are cheap and there are tax advantages to contractors vs. employees. But when the contractors show up and start asking questions which make it obvious that they have no experience at all it's too late. I've seen it happen multiple times.
The obvious recent example being Yahoo, though she failed to fix the problem and may have made it worse her salary was an attempt to buy in talent to turn the company around.
I suspect Yahoo (and HP) are examples of dysfunctional boards who thought they can help by hiring a rock start CEO, but had no idea where to find or recognize one.
Most likely they're already in talks with Elon Musk to buy batteries.
After that it's just an assembly line. Automotive engineers and industrial engineers are all over the world. Building electric cars is well within their capability.
It will be interesting to see what happens when the drone tries to make a delivery at a house that has a dog. Most dogs I've had would just eat the chicken sandwich. But I've known a few that would have it out with the drone.
George W. Bush was a fighter pilot, even though he well understood the dangers after his father (a bomber pilot) was shot down over the Pacific in WWII.
it seems to heavily imply that the value of Yahoo's stake in Alibaba would be the primary reason
Verizon is only buying the internet part of Yahoo, not the Alibaba investment. They split that part out but don't want to sell it because of the capital gain tax burden.
A company that has anything manufactured in China knows (or should know) that the Chinese will try to cheat and cut corners wherever they can.
If you buy a knockoff you can be sure it isn't up to the standards set for the original. It's also not a sure thing that the original is up to standard if the company wasn't diligent.
The Guifi Foundation sounds like a co-op though. They work fine here in the US too; my electricity supplier is a rural electric co-op. Maybe you should start something similar for internet.
A doctor (not a surgeon) is mostly making technical decisions. Expert systems tend to be better at that kind of thing.
Completely wrong on both points. Every step of a surgery involves making decisions. Expert systems are useless at examining people and making sense of the symptoms.
What is being discussed are operations run by what are known as BTO's - Big Time Operators. They lease the equipment they use. And they rent the land at top dollar; it's too expensive to own. When commodity prices drop their LLC goes bankrupt and they walk away from the leases. Family farms that own the land and equipment are a niche.
But the tractor owners disagree, annoyed that their tractors are treated differently from their cars and trucks, which can be serviced by any independent shop.
So Tesla has no problem with me fiddling around with the software that runs Autopilot? I don't mean installing an update they send, I mean reverse engineering the code and attempting to make it do something different.
Yahoos are legendary beings in the novel Gulliver's Travels (1726) by Jonathan Swift.
Swift describes them as being filthy and with unpleasant habits, resembling human beings far too closely for the liking of protagonist Lemuel Gulliver,

A human uses local, relative, dynamic data
That's nice. But we're talking about self-driving cars, tractors, and drones - not humans.

Apple's revenue is higher than Microsoft's, but Apple's dropped 14% versus MS 5% drop. Neither looks all that great.

Something that big and heavy should also have had hidden light curtains or other automated means
Gosh, you think? Maybe they should face criminal charges for not doing just that. Oh wait...they are.
No more risk than any other bridge. It has a well known capacity, they'll stay under it.
A trip from Kristiansand to Trondheim is roughly 680 miles
So the road to Trondheim will be a series of tubes? Ted would be proud.

0.24 percent visited pornography
I suppose that sounds more impressive the saying 3 out of over 1200 random people.
And how many of the "GOP delegates" connected to “I vote Hillary! free Internet”?
I'd have much preferred an Al Franken or Elizabeth Warren emotionally
They're the Democrat's attack dogs; they can't be on the ticket because they're so obnoxious. Plus Franken has all the baggage of a stolen election.
Kaine won't attract any votes, but he won't drive away any donors.

Picking someone with some social conservative views undercuts Trump
Nobody with even remotely conservative views will vote for Hillary.
True. This is an election year so there's a lot of posturing going on. But Issa is Republican so the bill has a chance.
They should have locked the server in a bathroom closet. That way if they get hacked there are no consequences.

it's unclear whether the technique will be successful
The headline is misleading. They haven't actually unlocked the phone, they just think they might have a way. If not they'll need to call the FBI.
A sort of co-op like thingy?
No, government is not a co-op.
The Guifi Foundation sounds like a co-op though. They work fine here in the US too; my electricity supplier is a rural electric co-op. Maybe you should start something similar for internet.
In the US they're called nurse practitioners and physician's assistants.
