Defects rates are typically constant across an area. For example, you are likely to have X defects per sq cm.
Thus, the more sq cm your die requires, the more defects it is likely to have. Thus, smaller dice tend to have higher yields as a percentage of the number of dice produced.
Another way of looking at it is that a wafer will have a typical number of defects. Each defect will knock out a dingle die. The more dice you have on the wafer, the more dice are not affected by defects.
This ruling applies to all private-hire drivers, but I think that it has become necessary because of Uber.
In the pre-Uber days, a private hire driver was dispatched by an office that could communicate with the driver. This means that the driver always had a translation service available to him/her (the dispatch office).
With Uber, the driver has no such resource available for translations. Perhaps as translation apps on cellphones get better, English proficiency won't be required.
Because Microsoft has realized (a long time ago) that their users actually appreciate being screwed over.
What I see is that most Windows users have such low expectations for the way their computer works, yet are opposed to alternatives. There is some strong cognitive dissonance involved.
Not everyone is a gamer who plays games that only run under Windows, or uses Photoshop. Most users today just need a browser and perhaps an email client.
Yes, but "over the bridge" does not use the same meaning of "over" as "Uber is over".
"Uber is over" uses this definition: (esp. of an event) finished, completed, or ended: Iâ(TM)ll be glad when the meeting is over. The game was over by 5 oâ(TM)clock. I'm worried about the test, but at least it will be all over (= completely finished)in an hour.
The truth is that the intelligence has a very robust oversight apparatus and you don't have to look very hard to see that congress actually like holding the intelligence community accountable
Did I miss some sarcasm in that post? Or are you serious?
If you are serious, then you clearly are not reading the news. There is no effective oversight of the intelligence community by Congress. Just look at what happened with the CIA torture report, or Clapper lying to Congress and suffering no consequences for his lies. Read or listen carefully to what Senator Wyden is saying about the intelligence community: if he expresses concern that something may be happening, then it is.
I guess communicating with the passenger or reading road names isn't important...
I don't speak or read German, but I was able to read the place names while driving through Gernany. Although, I'll admit that there can be doubt sometimes. For example, try looking for a sign to "Venice" while in Italy.
I believe that the answer to that is an affirmative NO. It's possible in the EU to take driving tests with an interpreter.
As others have stated, the putative driver still needs to be able to read and understand road signs (which are generally either place names or are not textual).
Most people have either one or two ISPs offering service to their residence. That's insufficient for competition. How many cellphone companies are offering service to you?
One of my neighbors just sold their quite nice East Bay home for a reported $1.2M. The buyers are doing a tear-down and rebuild. $1.2M for 7000 sq ft plot that needs clearing!
I go to the theater strictly to see blockbuster movies on a giant screen and with immersive sound. It's an expensive treat but some movies just Must be seen on the big screen.
You just don't have a good enough A/V system at your house.
Nobody has claimed the really efficient stuff (>40%) is cheap.
When your input energy is free, efficiency isn't a primary concern. Efficiency of solar panels only affects the overall size of the array for a given output power rating. Roof space is free, so who cares about efficiency, except for some niche applications?
When I changed from a rented modem to my own modem with Comcast, they continued charging me for the rental.
Comcast knew that I did not have their rented modem: I could see the list of devices associated with my account and it did not include the rented modem.
I think that Comcast has deliberately set up their system so that there are billing errors like this, which typically increase revenue for Comcast. My reasoning: the same thing happened when I returned a set top box: Comcast kept charging me for it.
Many people in the UK don't do a tax return and their tax is exactly correct at the end of the year.
This is accomplished in several ways: 1. Just like the USA, employers and other entities send data to HMRC. 2. Many allowances are limited to basic rate tax, so the amount of the allowance doesn't change based on income. 3. Interest and dividends are taxed at source. and probably the most significant difference: 4. Employers calculate tax to be deducted on a rolling basis (taking account of prior income and taxes already deducted), not as individual months. 5. Instead of a W4 which employees complete, HMRC sends the employer a tax code, which is used to calculate tax deductions, based on the employees actual circumstances.

Ignore my post. I see that I did not read your post properly.
No, you are wrong and GP is correct.

I don't think that the "topographical skills assessment" is the same as "the knowledge". Read the exemptions.
FTFY.
The offers are not comparable. The $50B offer included the Alibaba shares. The current deal doesn't.

Do you read and understand all the terms in every contract that you agree to?
If not, then are they dumb for the fact that Uber lied to the drivers?
I don't think it's that meaning of "over". I think that it really means "above".

The cellphone market is different.

You have that backwards. SBC bought AT&T and then renamed itself to use the AT&T name.

TFA's author seems to think that just because big car companies have joined the race, they have already won.
Now, it's quite possible that they may eventually win, but not at all certain.
TFA's author is displaying only his biases, not his knowledge or insights.
