I will never understand why people euthanize cats instead of at least driving them out into the middle of the woods and setting them free so that they have a shot at life. Cats are APEX PREDATORS. They can do just fine without you. Let the kitten grow a month or two until it is a decent size, then set it loose.
If PETA's problem with this is "cat overpopulation", then they are being quite hypocritical because it's nothing more than a human invention; the most natural thing to do is just let wild cats be and let nature take care of the population dynamic.
But that is not how Uber works. You are paying the driver, not Uber. Uber is just acting as a payment processor, like Paypal, and they take a commission. Uber is strucutred this way very specifically to avoid an employer/employee or even a contractor relationship.
I don't care how many times you make sockpuppet comments about it, nobody's getting arrested for driving their grandma to the grocery store. People are getting arrested for running unlicensed taxicabs.
It is not that simple in today's mobile world and the sharing economy.
Tell me along where in this strata of events does driving in your car become illegal, because it seems to be an awfully fuzzy line to me
I agree to drive you to the airpot and we're close friends
I agree to drive you to the airport and we're work colleagues
I agree to drive you to the airport and although I don't know you personally my friend introduced us and I trust him
I agree to drive you to the airport and although I don't know you personally my friend introduced us and I trust him, and you agreed to reimburse me for my gas money and time
All of the above, except instead of my friend it is an application on my phone.
See the point here? Uber IS NOT RUNNING A TAXI SERVICE. All they are doing is providing an app that connects two parties, one of whom needs a ride and the other who doesn't mind giving a ride. So how do you make this illegal?
I am not talking about the permanent stains, I am talking about the damp sweat stains daily, the ones which, as you just said, will be rampant since you will sweat more.
The only way such a colony could be sustainable would be if it mined Mars and it's moons for materials to construct most things. There is no way a Mars colony that depends on Earth cargo for raw materials will be sustainable.
Without having any more information than the link.. I would think this would make it HARDER and more expensive for the NSA/FBI to do their job, not easier. Right now, everyone's calls go through a choke point that is easily tapped. If all kinds of people start making peer-to-peer phone calls, then eavesdroppers now have to put LTE sniffers all over the country in a very dense arrangement.
Fun question - who would you rather have spying on you? The NSA or the Chinese?
Personally I would rather have the Chinese spy on me because I never go there, and am not too worried about them shipping me off to prison on trumped up chargers because I disagree with whatever government is in power. The NSA on the other hand....
Ubuntu for Android (http://www.ubuntu.com/phone/ubuntu-for-android) was a hybrid Ubuntu/Android OS that promised to allow you to use Android as the phone OS, then plug your phone into HDMI and a Bluetooth mouse/keyboard and have a full Ubuntu experience running alongside. It was announced with a lot of splash and got a lot of people excited. The ability to use a phone as a desktop computer on the road was very enticing. But it never materialized, and the source code was never opened (even though it is supposedly "open source", where the heck are you supposed to get the source, or download a build? I can't find one anywhere).
Ubuntu says the reason it never launched is because they need a partner with whom to launch since it needs modifications to Android... er, has Ubuntu ever heard of CyanogenMod?
Why wouldn't someone from Iowa just buy the Tesla from a neighboring state and import it... Iowa loses out on the sales tax because they are being stubborn.
Yes HTTPS is flawed. Name one protocol that is not.
Unless someone can offer a cost effective replacement (IE one that can be deployed and scaled into without breaking existing technology) then the best approach is to continue and fix the flaws as they are found.
The solution to a problem is not always "throw it away and re-write it". In fact the longer you are around in technology, the more you will realize that this is hardly ever a good idea.
I believe the only place we know in the universe where liquid water flows on the surface of a planet is on earth. Liquid water flowing on the surface or close to it is thought to likely be a required prerequisite to evolve life as we know it. That's why it's important.
Google has the app geo-locked to US credit cards for reasons I do not understand because it actually works everywhere. I am in Canada and can use Google Wallet (with my US credit card).
You need an open platform that emulates a card that everyone accepts. Google Wallet works EVERYWHERE, because it just emulates a Visa card. You can use it at ANY Paypass or Paywave terminal regardless of if it says Google Wallet on it.
The only need to make "deals" is if you want to take a cut of the transaction to increase your bottom line. Google tried that, failed, and changed Wallet so that it is totally open.
Does the leaf outsell all other gasoline cars in their market segment? No they dont, but the Tesla Model S has.
Is the Model S more profitable than the leaf⦠does the Model S make Tesla more money than the leaf makes Nissan? I have no idea but I bet it is at worst a draw.

Elon Musk who runs the company that makes the best and arguably most successful electric car ever produced, and is constantly hitting production targets?
Agree 100%. Maybe we're both old-timers (I am not even 35? *SIGH*), but I too play games to escape. I really dislike multiplayer games. I especially despise multiplayer first person shooters - the genre that has literally been the same rehash year after year for over a decade. Personally I prefer third person games because it lets me actually SEE my character and interact in a much better way than any FPS game.
Meanwhile, multiplayer games and FPS games are all most people in my circle care about so it is hard to find any common ground.
The main benefit of celcius is not that it is tied to water, it is that it is a linear scale. 30 degrees C is exactly twice as hot as 15 degrees C which is 15 times hotter than 1 degree C. Fahrenheit is not linear at all, it is logarithmic which makes it a huge PITA to work with in equations.
Money flows. 100,000 people working at a factory all need to spend the money they earn on consumer goods, food, and housing. All of that money makes a lot of taxes for the state, even if Tesla is not paying much tax.
Yep. In fact the more you look at the data the more it looks like Google was not hacked at all and these accounts were collected from elsewhere, then perhaps verified against Google.

The problem with your theory is precisely that deoderants don't help with sweat.
When you've got pit stains on all your shirts it doesn't really matter if you don't smell, people will still not want to be around you.

You can already throw up your own fake cell tower and intercept calls at random for $5000. So I don't think this will make things any easier.

It depends on how you measure success.

My money is on Elon.

I have an app that reads incoming texts to me over my in-car bluetooth and lets me respond by voice. How does this account for that?
