Worse than you think. Texas now allows a "kid" up to 26 to stay in high school. Friend is a teacher, unbelievable stuff happening. He has told me stories like, principle to teacher: Johnny's grade is too low, he needs to pass, teacher back to principle: What grade would you like me to give johnny?, C. Johnny was flunking big time, but graduation rates are too low, so we need to pass more. And those exams are a joke, I thought you had to pass to graduate, nope not the case. As my friend says, the kids run the school and THEY KNOW IT.
Perhaps true for conservative stories, but for trump I'd argue the reverse. Because the guy is a train wreck, and people can't help but watch a train wreck, the media covers when trump poops. Just look at CNN's front page at almost any time whatsoever. There will be at least 2 stories about him with zero about any other politician. Trump gets so much free advertising what will he do if in the general, the media outlets try to balance the number of stories between him and the dem. Will he pay for ads? Nah, the train wreck will dazzle and the media will be all over it like a pig in slop.
You are lucky you don't live in town. You did not get the 2+ flyers daily in the mail pushing it. The numbers are astounding. By Uber's own statements, they have done 1/2mil rides since 2014. They spent 8. That is 16 bucks/ride for this little ad campaign. They have 10K drivers. Or 800 bucks/driver. Uber drivers would have peed their pants if uber gave them all 800 bucks as a bonus. Make no mistake, this was not about fingerprints. Read the rules carefully. By passing prop 1, uber/lyft could have stopped in the middle of the road for pickup/dropoff. Lyft is currently in a lawsuit because their driver did exactly that and caused a fatal accident. That occurred a few weeks ago. Further, the regs require uber/lyft to disclose to prospective drivers that their could be insurance gaps while driving around without a passenger. Uber/lyft does not umbrella this time period. There were significant reductions in reporting. Uber/lyft may be discriminating, underserving poor areas, give bad/non-existent service to disabled people and on and on and we would never know. As to where it goes next will be interesting. Getme has already said they will be complying with the reg's and I think there is a 2nd TNC here as well. Uber will cave because the last thing they want to happen is for people to realize it is easy to replicate their biz with just a few servers. And if people figure that out, that astronomical valuation will crater.
Note that the contract sounds like the contractor gets to sell the power at 2.99c whether or not there is a demand. In some cases cost of power can go to 0 if baseload plants are providing excess capacity into the grid cannot ramp down production. So the plant gets 0c/kwh. In this case, even when the power must be dumped somewhere at 0 value to the utility, the solar producer gets paid. Conversely, when there is demand, and the solar producer has no additional capacity, nat gas peaking plants or some other carbon based generation will be there. I don't mind solar, in fact I have panels, but cost must include the cost of when the solar/alt energy cannot provide the power.
There was an interesting show on PBS showing the Russians had nuclear tipped missiles on those subs we chased out of the carribean during the crises. But for the commander of the sub group overriding the order of the captain of the sub who just happened to be on the same sub, we may all not be here now. We discovered the sub and were taunting it with loud sonar. It also happened to be a diesel sub that had its A/C broken so they were sweltering. The diesel needed to surface to get air and that is when the captain decided to launch when it surfaced to not disgrace mother russia. Again, the commander overrode the captain in a tense exchange. When it surfaced, again by luck, kennedy ordered no boarding or aggression. The subs went home. We did not find out the sub had nukes ready to launch until about 2005. And the story came out when the radio guy on the sub revealed the story. We were lucky, very lucky. I imagine there may be quite a few more such incidents that have never been revealed.
No it is not fair for me. If I hail an uber for 3:30 and they do not show until 3:40 am I compensated? And what am I supposed to do when I am now late for my meeting?
Not sure it could be worse. The south would have been annexed by iran and iran could have supplied them with oil money. The sunni's could ask uncle saudi for cash. The kurds have demonstrated they are the only ones willing to fight for themselves. The west has interfered with the middle east forever. Let the middle east tribal/religious culture be.
And we screwed up again in Iraq. We could have cut the country into its 3 native pieces, kurds, sunnis and shia, but nope, we thought we could make them all one big happy country. Without a saddam butcher, these people are not going to get along.
More bad news, I am in austin, no more net metering as of a couple of years ago. The panels I installed in 06 will never reach payback. Thanks for lying to me austin energy back in 06 when you promised net metering. They pay me about 10c/kwh but charge me 12 for the power my own panels generate.
You must only skim. While not saying specifically to beat someone up, he implies it by saying stuff like "in my day they would beat up someone like that", or I'll pay the legal bills of supporters that beat up protestors. I don't remember all the stuff he has said, but remember watching some of the clips and thinking man, that is getting very close to yelling fire in a theater. But with that said, I don't think amazon should pull stuff. I do think the one supporter that cold cocked the protester being escorted out by security should be arrested and convicted. The video was clear.
Much of the X10 is wireless. I've been using mine for close to 15 years now. Some of the appliance modules I bought (the ones with a relay to control the socket) have failed, but everything else is still humming. And because I bought the computer I/F, with my own C code running the stuff, I can keep using the it until the hardware fails. I've started building other stuff using beaglebones and pi's, again to keep it under my control.
Read the article. These are real people impersonating court employees. While I may not care for regular telemarketers, if the people involved in this scam don't understand they are doing something very illegal, perhaps a little darwin woud be a good thing.
Feel free to try to write a state of the art timing engine. I think you will be shocked to find that writing the API is trivial compared to the engine. I'm in EDA and I can tell you from experience, P&R engines, timing engines, synthesis, formal verification, physical verification and simulators are all very very hard problems. The A++ list people write them.
BMW has lost its driver's car mojo, so maybe they need to move to something else. When a Camaro SS creams an M4 (latest motortrend comparison review) they are doing something very wrong. I've heard for a couple of years now BMW steering has gone numb. Now the exhaust note sounds like a blender and a sloppy clutch/shifter. Seriously.
There was a autonomous gun system demo'ed for the DMZ between the Korea's. Don't know if they ever deployed it, but it "locked" on to anyone who moved in the target zone and fired.
if the phone had the details of where a bomb was placed on the apple campus and it was set to go off april 1st. Would they let their campus go boom or would they decrypt it? I already know this post is going to get downvoted into oblivion...
Except drunk driving accidents and fatalities were up in austin in 2015. Yep that is right, they were up AFTER uber and lyft. And I was also not happy to find out that uber lyft paid people 20 bucks an hour to collect all those signatures. Most people will sign a petition if asked, but getting people to volunteer to collect them is not so easy. I'd like to see uber/lyft foot the bill for the special election they caused. These elections cost taxpayers a few 100K. I know I am voting no to them. Another uber like firm has already said they would do background checks for their drivers. So if this other firm can do it why can't uber?
Not an exceptional event at all. Actually quite common. The school has an officer on site who is also threatened frequently, along with teachers. Been to a high risk school lately? It is never the kids fault!
And yes, if there are no consequences to actions, then why would anyone obey the rules. So yes, while unfortunate the "one" pregnant girl will likely fail in my model, I'm not so sure she will succeed in yours either. After high school exactly what are the odds of a single mother succeeding in today's world?

They do this all the time. Remind me again how much I save by disconnecting all those wall warts, right thousands...
Good catch, did not use the preview button to check. Bad me.

Will be interesting to see what if any effect the recent failure of uber/lyft to buy regulations in austin will be.
which part of whether there is a demand for the power or not do you not understand?

If one of those crazy shooters went into some of these call centers and took care of the problem.

I'll run the numbers another way, 500W/hr x 24 x 30 = 360KWH/mo. Check your bill.
