US has the highest per-capita amount of weapons among the developed countries. So your plan demonstrably failed. Should I remind you the canonical definition of insanity?
So don't install updates. They are usually not required for local games. And XBox has plenty of local space - far more than needed for a casual player.
You don't need to keep your console connected all the time. WiFi is mostly needed to download games into its local hard drive and for infrequent updates. I'm using my console in pretty much the same way - I plug it in about once a month.
They don't detect photons as particles, instead antennae detect the electricity induced by changing electromagnetic field. Anyway, you can check these thermal cameras, they all have a small Peltier cooler.
Easy. Masks drop from above you and emergency braking and re-pressurization is started. If braking to a safe velocity (say, 300km/h) is limited to 0.5G then it can be completed in about 40 seconds. Then once everybody have slowed down, emergency vents can open and the tube can be quickly re-pressurized to breathable pressures. You will survive even in the case of immediate complete pressure loss and failure to put on a mask.
You get insurance automatically when you drive with a fare. You don't need to spend anything on it.
What you probably _should_ get is an insurance for yourself when you're driving between fares. For AAA it's an additional $20 a _year_. I'm using Metromiles and it's a 5% surcharge on top of the usual premium.
No, DNA replication is not energetically expensive for eukaryotic cells. Most of the energy in a cell is spent on protein synthesis (i.e. gene expression), so regulatory mechanisms to suppress or promote DNA transcription are very honed and fine-tuned. These mechanism are also co-opted into fighting DNA parasites but they can't be used to edit away junk DNA completely.
However, for bacterial cells (which are much smaller than eukariotic cells) DNA replication is a significant burden and so they have very little DNA junk. That holds true for intracellular symbiotes like mitochondria and chloroplasts - their genomes are under (some) pressure to get simpler and smaller.
Have you ever looked at a genome? There are no large-scale repeating patterns. LINEs and SINEs jump inside of each other at random positions. Moreover, other species have wildly different amounts of junk DNA and it doesn't seem to affect their evolution.
Duh. LINEs are basically just promoters with a small payload attached, so a LINE that jumps in front of a protein can work perfectly fine. There are several cases in genome where LINEs actually _replaced_ the regular promoters. Again, it's just a couple of cases out of literally millions. We _expect_ such discoveries.
What we don't expect is that a significant fraction of junk actually has a useful function.
Not a "bunch" but "perhaps tens or hundreds of places out of several million". People really underestimate the amount of junk DNA - it's 95% of the genome, around 3 billions base pairs. In all this junk we sometimes find a few kilobases here and there that actually have some useful functions. Just for reference - all the known regulatory non-coding sequences amount to less than 20 megabases out of that 3 gigabases.
Is it likely that there are more hidden gems out there? Sure. Is it likely that a significant portion of junk DNA is non-junk? Nope.
No. Junk DNA is junk DNA. Less than 1% of it turned out to be useful as regulatory DNA. We also suspect that another 3-5% of it might have some function.
And we definitely _know_ that most of it is junk - just a pile of SINEs, LINEs and other crap.
Oh, please. Simple compression/decompression code fits into 1kb with another kb or so for dictionary and decompression buffers. So with a typical 50% compression rate the breakeven point is around 8kb. In the middle of 80-s computers had around 1Mb of RAM.
Most of teams are actively hiring most of the time. Senior engineers spend quite a lot of time interviewing candidates as a result. So pretty much every team jumps at an opportunity to get a few developers internally as no interview process or HR involvement is required.
Also, Amazon has a really good (even compared to other tech companies) global mobility program and they'll help you to relocate even between countries if you want to join a team abroad. Our business developer, for example, relocated from Australia to Seattle.
Of course, Amazon pays for flights and hotel expenses. But yeah, economic class only:(
These premiums are not terribly high. From your link - it's just a $20 per _year_ surcharge on top of an existing policy. A brand-new commercial insurance policy costs about $500 a month.
BS. Commercial insurance costs about $500 a month, with $1 million coverage for liability. It's not something magical that requires tens of thousands of dollars every month. And all Uber drivers carry it when they are driving with a fare.
So yes, requiring a commercial-level insurance coverage is a prudent step. Requiring Uber drivers to spend millions of dollars to buy a license is not.

Just shoot them. In a short while the problem will fix itself.

This article is pure nonsense (and yes, I work at Amazon). We're not crying at our desks - we have special rooms for that, for FSM's sake!
That being said, I think I've seen only one person with a FirePhone at _Amazon_. That's how popular they are...

Just set up your console to use WiFi, no need for any wired connections.
Do you have WiFi at home?
Uber has its own insurance that is active when you are driving with a fare. However, it does not cover the time spent driving between fares.
LINES and SINES _are_ everywhere. They are mostly silent, thanks to epigenetic silencing.
Here's more (with a nice plot): http://journals.plos.org/plosg...

It's not that easy. You can't detect infrared without cooling the sensor to temperatures that are below the temperatures you want to measure.

Can you be more coherent, please? What wiki page disagrees with me and how?

That's about 1% of the junk DNA. The rest is still just junk.

Just one weekend (my choice). I also sometimes work from home at night (again, my choice).
