That's like telling someone who has been shot that you've bandaged their paper cut.
How often are your passengers shot at while you're driving?
Also the passenger's mandatory health insurance means that any necessary ambulance ride will already be covered.
Assuming that they have health insurance and their health insurance actually covers ambulance rides. Just because Obamacare is the law of the land, it doesn't mean that every insurance policy covers every foreseeable circumstances.
$5,000 will be spent getting an ambulance out and getting one person into an emergency room.
I'm paying a little extra — $16 or so per year — so one of my passengers can get a free ride in the ambulance in the event of a catastrophic car crash. For $16, I can knock $5,000 off their medical bills.
And here in CA, I can post a $25K bond and forgo car insurance altogether (bond is the replacement for it).
That sounds expensive. My AAA non-ownership auto policy is only $75 per year. My last car died from a blown head gasket and a broken piston several years ago. Since my job has a sweet public transit commute, I haven't bothered with finding a replacement car.
I would be *very* surprised if your $75 per year premium would cover that excess gap.
My current AAA policy is identical to my previous policy when I owned a car — last one died with a blown head gasket and a broken piston — except I no longer own a car. So I'm paying $75 per year without a car versus $180 per year with a car. Also, my policy carries a $5,000 medical liability in case any passengers are injured during an accident.
It's a good thesis. I just post my comment and watch head explodes. Nine comments in as many minutes isn't bad. Sometimes the comments are a lot worse than my thesis.
I know many people who live in cities who do not own a car. So they don't pay car insurance.
I currently don't own a car and take public transit to work. I pay $75 per year for auto insurance on the off chance that I might need to drive someone else's car or a rental car.
It's like claiming more people have health insurance when you force them to hand over their money to a private company whether they want to or not.
How is health insurance different from auto insurance? You're still required to hand over money to a private company whether you want to or not. But society as a whole when everyone gets insured.
Fine? More like idiotic. I watched about 10 seconds, then hit thumbs down and closed that stupid video.
In short, you couldn't get past his melodramatic intro that summed up the reaction to the Fine Brother's announcement. It probably struck a nerve for you.
I worked at a company that got taken over by a French company prior to the dot com bust, and a French VP took over the management team. At an all hands meeting he announced from his notes that everyone was getting stock options. Everyone cheered. The HR person did a face palm. He then announced that the stock options only applied to management and not regular employees. Everyone was pissed. He had no clue whatsoever as to what went wrong just then, underscoring the sad reality of French management. So everyone got stock options with a $20 strike price when the stock was $25 per share. The stock price slid to $0.20 per share over the next several years as the dot com bust took it toll.
Let's see the Fine's C&D/sue over react.js. Facebook will crush them.
What does the Fine Brother videos have to do with Javascript library? The two may use the same name but they're not competing in the same market. There's no basis for an infringement lawsuit.
So who cares about all the stuff happening during the week?
A lot of private and commercial aircraft will be flying in before and after the game. Not all those planes will be parking at San Jose International airport. The early birds will park locally. Everyone else will have to haul ass over the mountains from outlying regional airports.
I had a first-gen iPod Touch that lasted eight years before the battery quit holding a charge. Otherwise, it was perfectly fine. The replacement was an iPhone 5C because I needed a new phone after three years and it was $100 cheaper than a current gen iPod Touch.
They had pre-defined that you can only have so many at each level, and had to fit -- if you had 10 people, the number at each level was defined by a formula.
The company I worked for had a bell curve at one point. They funny thing is that the QA department as a whole did an honest assessment to fit the bell curve perfectly. The other departments, especially the department managers, all ranked themselves very highly. The executive team had a hard time bringing reality to the other departments that not everyone was a special snowflake.
I had a manager who was a big fan of Jack Welch and implemented a policy to fire the bottom 10% every year. Except he didn't hire replacements and the middle soon became the new bottom. The top 10% saw the writing on the wall and vacated for greener fields elsewhere. I was the third of a dozen senior testers who left the company. The manager rode the company all the way into bankruptcy, unwilling to admit that his channeling of Jack Welch was wrong.
You know... it being a search engine company and all.
A shareholder activist is demanding that Yahoo get rid of its board of directors and sell the search engine to focus the core business on... something else.
The only explanation I can come up with is they are so butthurt from spending so much money on an iPad that the salesman/hype-machine promised them could do *everything* that they absolutely must use it for everything or risk admitting to themselves that they are a sucker.
My friend has three or four iPads. So I don't think he has buyer's remorse.
Aren't these folks bizarre? Oh well, your gain in the end.
My father was worse. I would show him how to properly maintain his computer and warned him to stay away from naughty bits on the Internet. He did no maintenance whatsoever and looked at naughty bits anyway. Whenever his computer slows down from the fragmented hard drive and infected operating system, he orders a new Dell box for $500. So every other year my file server got upgraded because he gave me his old computer. If he had followed my advice, his computer could have lasted for five years or longer before having to upgrade.

Driving is optional. Breathing isn't.
You must not live in California.

How do you get 4 + 8/2 = 10?
You have to use Congressional Math.
well he is just lucky he didn't do a "react" video to it, so didn't get dmca'd.
Your ignorance of trademark and copyright law is overwhelming.

That the trademark office had 300+ applications for the word "react" on file. Eli the Computer Guy did a fine a video on this controversy.

Well they made all their original money on malware and viruses, so maybe they're going back to that.
