A Driving License is got after a learners license. One of the things you are supposed to learn is that when you are behind the wheel you are responsible. No additional training necessary. If the driver is not comfortable with a particular function heor she should have the sense not to turn it on.
Basically if you agree to the ToS you are telling Tesla - go ahead and experiment on me I won't sue you. If you are not interested in doing that don't use the functionality. I bet the first gentleman who was killed by the trailer very much subscribed to this philosophy because he was genuinely interested and intrigued by the technology and what it could do. He took the chance and paid a price... hopefully he paid it gladly but he knew what he was doing and the risk he was taking because he posted a near miss video on you tube and as per the articles around him he was genuinely proud of his Tesla.
If this guy on the other hand is trying to blame autopilot for his own mistake then he should not get a chance to spoil it for everyone else.
So maybe it depends on if you are a country with few local jobs so you can ship the excess labor to some other country. the country that ships the people suddenly has a much higher employment index and the place where they go to has a lower one. basically it levels the score so that the more advanced nations suffer and the least advanced nations will prosper.
We should follow the moscow rules here - "Once is an accident. Twice is coincidence. Three times is an enemy action. (Taken from Ian Fleming's novel Goldfinger)" If it happens again assume it's skynet and put it though a blender:).
Is there any evidence for this or is it anecdotal ? As apple has stated that they expect people to replace their hardware every three years see "when apple mocked poor people and good hardware" It means they don't design for it to last more than three years.
This doesn't happen in countries where you can't get your hands on a gun without sweating blood. Having draconian gun laws stops lone gunman massacres cold. It does not stop terrorist massacres because they generally have access to illegal weaponry but this kind of thing would be stopped. Just looking at the frequency at which this happens in the states compared with say India should show you that US gun laws are lethal and gun control is non existent. Anyone who really wants a gun can get one.
"but this doesn't mean a program which targets blacks is necessarily bad." - The problem is that any form of discrimination will lead to class inequality in the long run. It has already happened here in India where many Brahmins a caste who were once on top of the pile are now living in poverty as they have no access to government grants, cushy seats and reserved educations that is given to almost everyone else. Only economic criteria is truly race and gender bias free and hence is the only one that ensures the good of those who need the help the most. When we let slip this criteria by any small amount we let in a vicious cycle that depends on politicians who sense an easy vote bank and will keep giving and giving concessions till the general category becomes a minority...
in the vast majorrity of countries the government has a much tighter grip on who gets to buy guns. In those countries gun realted mortality is far far lower than the states.
Also the UI was really good for getting things done quickly.... it was an organizer first and foremost which today's multi-functional devices are not and hence they always suffer for some form of identity crisis.
Bed bugs are more a problem in wooden/plaster houses rather than cement concrete houses. In india all our haouses are cement/brick/concrete with paint and no carpets/linoleum so bedbugs are not so difficult to eliminate. My guess is that bedbugs in the us are a much bigger deal becuase of the way houses are constructed.
Tom swift - a name from my childhood . thre were at least three different series by this name probably by people writing under the pseudonyms of victor applegate I , II and III the three series are set quite a while apart in time too . the first is more hand cranked cars which the last is all silicon computers and man -robot prosthetics...
Pre teen sci fi I personally like a series of books of which I remember the title of one as Crisis on Conshelf ten and earth dark by monica huges... pretty good sci fi , social statements and not too heavy.

I assume you chose Bangalore because of recent outsourcing trends, however code monkeys are not restricted to India... I suspect almosts any fresh grad you pick up would not have the business-speak acumen you were referring to and conversely there are programmers with a diversity of interests who may have some grasp of business speak anywhere on the globe. I am a Consultant from Calcutta and the article struck a chord with me especially as I learnt programming on a ZX spectrum and some of my greatest coding achivements ( dissasembling ZX spectrum rom routines writing a Z80 disassembler in Z80 assembly language) were done when I was 14 and so do not appear on my CV. So I guess the corollary here is don't discount a programmer just because he's from India:) !!

I prefer a less than reliable autopilot to a moron.

Like resetting copyright to a flat 14 year period !

youtue is heavily promoting the take it offline option.. that ought to count as downloading hen.
there is a setting to disable charging boost right at the bottom where the toggles are . this will disable the lockscreen settings

Homosexuality is still a crime in India. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexuality_in_India
Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) dating back to 1861 makes homosexual sex punishable by law and carries a ten year sentence

Try onboardc which is an onboard c compiler for palm... basically you can program the palm in c from the palm. How cool is that ?
