I'm not so sure about the older generation. Around here a lot of them seem to be using firesticks they bought at the flea market. They have no idea what they are or how they work, they just know they can plug them in and get TV.
You could spend a lot of time training a dog, only to find out it doesn't have the required innate ability.
Or maybe it does have the capability but the method of training in use doesn't work with it's personality
This eliminates the unknown variables and therefore waste.
The problem with that thinking is that fully automated vehicles will never be safer than non automated. Nearly all of the advances that could improve automated also apply to assisted driving. So as one advances so does the other. Fully automated will always be less safe.
I don't know about the best suited reason. When I worked in a mainframe shop they bought new ones because they were locked in because of their 4 decades of software. They actually wanted out pretty bad.
Mineral Ores. Basically they have a hold full of dirt. If it's loaded during rainy season it's a hold full of mud and can act just like a landslide does in an earthquake.
When orange juice gets to be $10 a quart for regular (From a tree that was sprayed with pesticide every single day) and $2 for GMO I think the market will decide GMO is OK.
It's been a long gradual climb since possibly since the Triangle fire in 1911. But, I think it took a big jump in the 80's when people stopped letting their kids play outside. Then those kids grew up, and here we are.
I was a windows mobile developer back then. I dropped out when they wanted me to learn a completely new tool set. If I'm going to do that, I might as well switch to Android.
I've had cleaners in the past and probably will again. I agree it's a great trade-off of time for money. I'm just not excited about a new group of random sketchy people wandering around my house every week.
Most Smart home hubs want to bounce everything off of their server. Not sure why I need to tell a server in Timbuktu that it's 6:PM, please turn on my porch light.
I was WinCE developer, loved coding mobile apps, was not excited when told I had to learn completely new skillset to move to WinPhone 7. Then was told I needed a new skillset for 8, then found out silverlight was dead. It was more like step 1.5 I was moving out the door, step 2 did give me that final shove though.
They had a ton of developers at 6.5. They dumped them when they went to 7, that's what baffles me.
You're in the wrong century. The feds now have the right to determine how a bank's customers use their funds. Or at least they think they do, which is the same thing, I guess.
It seems to me that knowing the shapes of landmasses would be at least as important as knowing the relative sizes. A compromise like Goode homolosine could have done both. Although if their need was political correctness I guess they did pick the right one.
It's a lot easy to get a 6 figure job if you already have a 6 figure job. Getting one when you've just been laid off is a lot harder. You have to protect that. My resumes go out the first time I don't get a bonus.
Yes, I can imagine a yellow freight type thing where they pull trailers from one terminal to another over a prescribed route. They already have special laws for them in some areas such as relaxing the maximum length. It seems like the easiest place to get automated trucking started.
Exactly. The donation is nice, and employees are paid enough that said gifts probably aren't detrimental to them -- although it'll mean more for others like admins, etc.
> Alphabet likely would have spent around the same amount of money on its holiday gifts, so it’s not exactly a cost-saving move.
In the end, it has nothing to do with keeping the tradition or good will for the business etc. It's a marketing gimmick wrapped in a tax write off given to specific districts chosen by a few elites. Welcome to the Corp.
Unless this donation is something they were planning on doing anyway for PR. Then, it costs them nothing.
Yes, I think that's where the pollsters missed. The level of hatred for the Clintons is much higher than they thought. This was my first time voting. I think she really turned out the vote, but not how they thought.
They'd also have to invent a way to manage that storage so that pulling the card out would only remove the part of your library you expect, and not cause the damn thing to fail catastrophically. They'd also need a way to avoid hours and hours of manual user processes to delegate a storage location, or to migrate collections of books between locations.
And yet somehow my Nook manages it. I can have my books on my card, swap out the card and give to one of my kids and they magically have kids books.
If only there was some possible way to add storage to a device. Maybe some kind of hole somewhere where you could plug in some kind of device that would expand memory. Maybe someone could invent that, and we wouldn't need a new model.
Yes, I used to buy a ton of stuff from certain giant computer discount seller. Occasionally I'd have to eat an item like a computer case because the return shipping was more than it was worth. Then for a while I started using both and comparing the prices. After a while I realized I was only using Amazon. Getting hosed on one product wipes out the saving on all the others.

Probably a better chance of guessing that number than that there is any money left in the the wallet.
You obviously have never read the story of Robert Kearns and the intermittent windshield wipers.

Then we could make a law that makes spray painting on them illegal. Or stealing them. Or knocking them over with the snow plow.

I'm running some lights from a computer running HomeGenie with a Z-Wave dongle. It's not bad.

Actually they can, they just need to have more lawyers and/or persistence than the originator. See Segway, etc.
