Sceptical. They were pretty monitored, heart rate etc. Plus three military hard cases, not two. Even taking 10%, the odds are just very very long.
What about the times they were in the moon's radio shadow? Command module pilot, alone, far side of the moon, might have rubbed one out for uncle sam. Hell, kids, might have rubbed on out each orbit. Anybody know how long the radio blackout per orbit was?
IIRC a husband and wife flew together on the old Russian base. The have to have grabbed some 'quality time' in an empty supply module. Who honestly wouldn't? Anybody?
Plus Elk Grove...Before Sac grew out to Elk Grove it was upscale. Now it's almost as bad as Stockton. At least downtown Sac you get to Amtrak which gets you to BART. Better than driving the bay bridge.
The VCs aren't directly subsidising the rides. They are subsidising the back office overhead, which is insane dotcom 2.0 SF party.
No focused company in Ubers position would need that kind of staffing. HQ costs out of control. How much did having 'critical mass' first help MySpace?
Skipping over the notchy nature of the bulbs _isn't_ helping. Different ways of making white light are _different_. Particularly when looking at colored images, the colors can be distorted. Insisting the first order approximation is all there is to it, isn't helpful.
GP should trust his eyes. The color controllable 6 (5? not sure what they're up to) pigment 'White' bulbs cost a fortune, but compare their light at any temperature setting to a cheapy (with the same label temp).
Still not smooth like true black body (incandescent). Photographers know. Between notchy LED bulbs, notchy receptors and interesting pigments you can make photographs that look like a glue sniffers nightmare.
I love my polyurethane. But they aren't for everyone and they don't last forever. Life is actually shorter than stock, the ride is much better IMHO. Some people like mush...different bores and strokes for different folks. In a cab, some people would claim the car's ride was 'harsh'.
Learned the hard way last time: Before you start bushings, see if you can't get tubular members with polyurethane bushings from China, for $20 more than ES bushings. Bushings are a bitch of a job, even with a hydraulic press. You'll need some steel stock, a band saw and welder to make a custom drift before you are done. The welder will come in handy if you want to touch up/gusset the Chinese welds. They're mostly good, especially compared to stamped stock parts.
The devil is in the details, especially in CA. Every place I've ever worked, can say I downloaded a ton of stuff. Just on work done at home, reading for the excremeditation chamber etc. Less so with more common terminal servers lately.
Unless the guy that founded Otto had a valid CA non-compete with Google (which is saying a lot, big cheese with separate corporate entity), what was in his head was his. Retroactive 'trade secrets', with no paperwork or information security, don't go very far in court.
I still think 90% of work on truly automated cars is for the publicity, advertisement for stocks. Same as quad copter deliveries. The people in these fields know they will end with automated highway driving and, more or less, nothing, respectively. But why fuck with a gravy train while it's flowing?
Disclosure: I see advertising for stocks disguised as advertising for products lots of places and have for a long time. Did anybody, ever, buy a 'Nortel Network' on the strength of their TV spots? I bet somebody bought the stock (funny how IT decision makers apparently watch a lot of golf). I thought advertising stocks was against exchange and SEC rules? At very least required a big ol disclosure and a broker's licence. Anyhow: conspiracy theory disclosed.
The clients that speced out exact staffing were 'experienced' consulting clients...'if they overbooked'...like their is any question. Consultant 'expertise' staffing is like hollywood accounting or university superstar professors. Bad joke for a long time, mythical beasts.
Better, tell the driver to stop at a corner, payoff the meter plus tip and haggle for cash for the rest of the ride...he's taking a break...GPS kinda fucks things lately.
Get the drivers card, keep it out of the taxi companies ear.
Waiter/server at an expensive restaurant has always been a very well paid job. For a long time. Hard job to do well...even harder when they fail and start crying.
Theoretically, they staff for the expected number of tables. If the manager knows how to staff, wed and thursday aren't that bad a deal for the waiters. But the manager wants to over-staff those days, in case their is a rush, which fucks the wait staff.
Waiters make more than cooks, especially jr cooks. But some people just don't want to 'kill ass' for living, unavoidable part of serving/selling to rich folk, not every table. (Worked in back of house before and during college.)
In fact: Statistics say that Chicago gun criminals are _terrible_ shots (measured in terms of % killed), compared to other regions of America. Even compared to other 'urban areas'. Not sure why.

It would be a nightmare, but it would be better than Elk Grove and driving over Livermore pass. People do it. Sleep on the trains.
Downtown proper is a strange place. $2300 rent and you have to guard an outdoor grill, or the food disappears. I don't get it.

For $150k, in the bay area? Not going to happen. For $150k you get a burnt out shell on a tiny lot in Antioch and get into a bidding war.
El Paso is a 'major city'...so is Des Moines. If you ask people from there.
Chinese jets...plummet. I see what you did there.
Antioch. East end of BART.
Somebody claimed to have a new LIDAR that was going to sell for 5k$, really soon now, they promise.
Just for reference: How many people/(km^2) in Hong Kong and surrounding?
Don't extrapolate your experience to other places please.
It's now immoral to have any slope on your demand for labor curve? Everybody wants less of more expensive things.
If you're forced to pay more, you will have some employees that just aren't worth it anymore.

Pigs fly just fine, if you apply enough thrust. Landings are a little rough.

That's a stretch. When car executives egos get involved insane things happen.
You said 'No car manufacture has ever...': Cadillac Allante, EV1 (not sold, but leased at a loss), you are wrong. I'm sure there were others.
They don't set out to sell at a loss. They spend too much on R&D and don't make the volume they expect.
Verbing nouns is wrong. Don't verb nouns.
That moron has never visited a gun range in his life.
He has also never looked at honest statistics for number of crimes prevented with guns/year.
Anybody who followed your link, is dumber for having read that.

Clubs are illegal, but maglights aren't. Unless you are felon, then you can't carry a maglight with more than 3 D cells.
Still stuck in denial. Get on with it.
