Wonder how much Google public liability insurance premium just increased by.
Nothing. It's called Alphabet now. The self driving car subsidiary has probably been left holding zero assets to handle the possibility that a horrible accident occurs and the victims try suing the company.
Since the answer about CARB compliance isn't found in the bill of rights,
Better than the Bill of Rights, it's in the Constitution itself. Article IV, Section 2: "The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States."
If I can purchase, possess and operate a non CARB compliant vehicle in any one state, California cannot prevent me from doing so there. As that applies to phones, I could just hop over to Nevada or New Jersey), purchase a phone with uncrippled encryption and bring it home.
I blew the whistle* on the utility I worked for after a couple of linemen got killed. I spent the remainder of my career working for Boeing. No problems.
*Actually, they gave me a pretty good severance package to 'not be around' when the state LNI investigators came around to interview us. They were stupid enough to assume that the state was too stupid to talk to previous employees as well as current.
BUT individuals have a constitution protection against compelled self-incrimination.
The San Bernadino killers are dead. So I'm not certain exactly how 4th and 5th Amendment rights would work. There's a good chance that the phone contains evidence that would incriminate others. But these others have almost certainly fled and/or destroyed evidence by now. So there isn't likely a imminent threat to be dealt with. So, what exactly is it that they need?
... bicycle lanes in TFA. I suspect that the 'no center line' policy will gradually morph into a single traffic lane, just wide enough for two oncoming vehicles to squeeze by slowly. As the shoulders of the street are re-purposed for other uses (who get their own lane markings).
Beware of the unintended consequences. The reaction of drivers encountering an approaching vehicle encroaching into their lane is to steer towards their shoulder. Never mind the painted bike lane. And even at 'slower' speeds, that can be fatal for a cyclist.
1. The amount (by volume) of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is so small,
So this process might work best if installed at a major CO2 point source. Like a power plant.
2. It takes at least as much energy to reverse combustion as you get when you burn something.
This is true. So if you produced that additional heat energy needed to convert that CO2 (ideally from a non CO2 producing heat source) then why not just replace the CO2 emitting process with that heat source in the first place.
I think the people that came up with this idea would be the ones who would build the Eiffel Tower to put a flashing red light on top of it so planes won't hit it.
States (utility commissions) generally regulate the relationship between the company and the customers (state residents). Things like utility rates, terms of service, etc. Everything on the back end (subcontractors, labor negotiations, etc.) works pretty much the same as any other private company doing business in that state or across state lines.
I'm pretty sure that the company (or any company faced with the same) will just cry "Muh interstate commerce!" and try to slide out from under any state regulations. Hence the feds.
where my faith doesn't place any demands on your lifestyle.
Yeah, right. Try telling that to Evangelicals. Go back hundreds of years and try telling that to the inquisitor. You are never going to win an argument with "My religion is good and benign. Yours is evil and superstitious." They're all nuts. As long as they keep to themselves, mutter strange words and wear funny hats, we'll let it slide.
why East coast people don't use the time difference as an excuse to start work later.
Particularly with a 4 AM last call time. But then....
dealing with East coast business hours is frustrating,
In my experience, most highly successful people are morning people. And not bar flies. So 4 AM closing times and late night entertainment don't enter into their plans.
get some extra sleep.
Umm, nope. People need a certain amount of sleep. Some need more, some need less. Where they put that ideal amount on the clock is a different issue. Getting up later would mean going to bed later. Needing more sleep is a sign that a person isn't managing their bed time/wake up time properly. And that might lead to symptoms very similar to being a 'late riser'.
I wonder how much this sort of tracking app encroaches on the medical device domain. It could be that Nintendo just didn't want to get a cease and desist letter from the FDA.
Sleep studies appear to be one of the next big things in the medical business. Lots of sleep disorder labs are popping up and pushing their services through primary care physicians. My physician is pushing this stuff, even though I don't suffer from any symptoms that indicate sleep problems. There are big bucks to be made, paid physicians conferences in hot vacation spots and finders fees for referrals. So I'm certain that if some tech company comes up with an app and/or cheap hardware to screen for this, many people might feel threatened.

So, when will a California resident be able to purchase a non CARB compliant motor vehicle?
Are you claiming that Boeing isn't engaging in criminal activity?
In general, they are not. They are so big (and poorly managed) that individuals and groups inside the company can get away with practically anything.
You go to the bar and drink the memory out of your head, like a professional.
That poor goat! [Sob]

teach him everything you do.
Pretty much update my resume and line up interviews. Got that, Rajiv?
They probably just make a severance pay package conditional on signing. Most people will take the money and sign.

Can't the state introduce some regulations

Link.
Please, no applause. Just throw money.
A better headline would have been: Facebook blows aaS!
From TFA:
a college employee, who had gone to drink water suffered serious injuries and was declared dead
And then there's a photo of a crater in the middle of a muddy rice paddy. And I thought Flint Michigan had problems with drinking water.

None left. The Polynesians wiped them out hundreds of years ago.

Brits will still try to sell him out
They had better. Or we won't let them buy F-35s for $140 million each.
