The robot will deliver goods at 50 designated Snackbot areas across campuses.
How is this better than the dozens of vending machines already all over campus? If it's not going to actually bring me my junk food, how is it an improvement? The difference is that with the bot I have to pick what I want in the app, go to the designated location, and then wait for the bot to show up with my order.
The articles I read said that the car traveled for 7 miles from the time the officer noticed the driver was passed out until the police stopped the car. We actually have no idea how long the driver had been unconscious before the cops intervened. I'm sure that some technician will pull the logs from the computer and eventually find out exactly how far the car had gone after the driver passed out. Given that drunk driver pass out in their vehicles and kill themselves and others on a daily basis in the US, the software in this may have saved several lives.
Why would all of the refineries close? We use oil for many things besides fuel. The main components of gasoline used to be considered worthless byproducts of refining other petroleum products.
Israel is small enough that current EVs should be able to go border-to-border on a single charge. Given that range anxiety is one of the major reasons why people don't want EVs, it seems a small country can convert much more easily.
For a size comparison Israel is roughly the size of New Jersey. According to Google Maps, driving from the nothernmost tip to the southernmost tip of the country is 520km. Tesla's Model S 100D has a range of 540km, so there are no locations in the country that you cannot travel to on a single charge with today's technology. In 11 years battery technology will likely be better and cheaper, making this a practical move for the country.
Let’s compare Seattle to Renton (city next door to Seattle going southeast). Actually, let’s compare two separate McDonald’s restaurants on the same street (Rainier Ave. South), one in Seattle and one in Renton. Seattle currently has a minimum wage of $15.45 per hour for most fast-food workers; Renton employers only have to pay the state minimum wage of $11.50 per hour.
I picked four items from the menu to compare prices at the two restaurants; a Big Mac, an Egg McMuffin, a large Coke, and a large fry. At the Seattle location (9304 Rainier Ave S, Seattle, WA 98118) those items respectively cost $5.89, $3.89, $1.99, and $3.39 plus 10.1% sales tax for a total cost of $16.69. At the Renton location 3 miles away (73 Rainier Ave S, Renton, WA 98057) those same items respectively cost $4.89, $3.79, $1.00, and $2.89 plus 10% sales tax for a total of $13.83. So there’s a 21% increase in cost in Seattle compared to Renton for the same items.
You live in a rarified world, filled with mostly one percenters.
You have to think globally. To be in the top 1% of income earners on the planet you need to earn only $32,400 USD per year; barely over minimum wage in some areas. Source: An Echo Dot is $50 or less, affordable by many who earn even less than $32K per year.
Sideshow Bob tries to get his name in the media as often as possible by suing the Trump administration dozens of times to appeal to his potential backers as he gets ready to run for governor. Now that he’s discovered the 10th Amendment he should get all of his AG pals to start filing lawsuits daily for everything that the Federal government does that isn’t explicitly allowed in the Constitution.
Who gets to define "basic"? Enough calories to not starve to death and enough money to cover the rent of the cheapest studio apartment in town with 8 or 9 roommates?
you'd be paying $3.15 per 12-pack, which isn't too hard to find if you're shopping sales on Coke/Pepsi products, or buying store brands
It's not hard to find 12-packs on sale 3 for $10, or occasionally 4 for $11, but you'll never see those princes within the Seattle city limits with the sugar tax.
If you're going to go down for bribery make sure you remember to bribe the judges on the appeals court so that you can get your sentence reduced in a timely fashion.
The 777-9 is roughly the same size as a 747-400 and the proposed 777-10 would be about the same size as 747-8. Given that twin engine planes are more efficient than 4 engine planes in most use cases, airlines are finding it much more cost effective to order the new 777 compared to the 747. Thus the reduced demand for the 747, and similarly the A380. Boeing currently has 326 orders for the new generation 777 compared to 14 unfulfilled orders for the 747-8, and Airbus has 95 unfulfilled A380 orders.
They’re comparing the annual sales of 10 models of iPhone to 3 models of Galaxy? In 2017 Apple sold the iPhone 5C, 5S, 6 (Plus), 6S (Plus), SE, 7 (Plus), 8 (Plus), & X. Samsung started selling the Galaxy 8 and 8+ this past spring and the Note 8 in September. A fair comparison would be comparing the iPhone X to the Note 8 since both were released this past fall and have similar price points. I’d assume the X sold more units than the Note, but I haven’t seen the numbers for either.
Either way Samsung sells around 50% more phones than Apple, and makes components for all of the iPhones and many other smart phones as well.
A pair of tickets to see a movie is $35. I can wait a few months instead and usually buy the 4K bluray for less, or possibly borrow the bluray from the library for free. I'll admit that the 3D experience is usually better in the theater than in the living room, but it's a trade-off my wallet is willing to make.
The difference is that most of the AMD sockets in the last 10 years are somewhat compatible with each other with a BIOS update, although some of the feature sets aren't necessarily available. An AM2 CPU will work in an AM2+ motherboard and an AM2+ CPU will work in an AM2 motherboard. AM3 CPUs could also work on an AM2+ motherboard, but neither AM2 or AM2+ CPUs would work on an AM3 motherboard. AM3 and AM3+ CPUs and motherboards are also compatible with each other while FM2 CPUs will also work in FM2+ motherboards.
AMD did make the socket 754 series which didn't have any compatibility or upgrade path with the socket A series before it or the socket 939 series after it, so they too have screwed desktop owners out of upgrade paths before.
The base price for a Model S in the US is $69,500 before any local or federal incentives. At nearly twice that price now I can see why people in Hong Kong might be less interested than before. Would be be cheaper to buy one in the US and ship it to Hong Kong, or would the import duties kill any savings?
Does "vote by mail" require any sort of ID? If not, how on earth is this more secure than a ballot box?
Washington state requires you to provide a driver license number or state ID number when registering to vote online (WA state license numbers are a combination of a person's initials, last name, and date of birth). You also have to check a box that says you're a US citizen and another box saying you'll be over 18 by the time of the next election. They also have a text-based CAPTCHA at the end of the form so you know that there can't be any sort of fraud.
Indeed. I'm not sure Disney has had a truly original concept since Steamboat Wille. Disney, an entire entertainment empire built on a single cartoon.
Steamboat Willie was based heavily on the Buster Keaton movie Steamboat Bill Jr. which came out earlier that year. It was the first Mickey Mouse cartoon to get a distributor, since Disney couldn't find a distributor for the two earlier Mickey Mouse cartoons.
11 million heads of lettuce a YEAR... is that supposed to be something special?
The impressive part is that the 11 million heads of lettuce are grown with a footprint of roughly 1 acre. From the photos it appears that the crops are produced on 4 tier grow shelves. If robots are doing most of the work I see no reason why this couldn't be expanded vertically to the point where they are growing 100+ million heads of lettuce per year per acre.
I had to read a little more carefully (I had the same question) but it does actually say 'pickup truck'.
I'm all for it; I like driving small pickups. What I've wondered all along is why someone hasn't done this already? Seems like a no-brainer to me. You could build the battery packs right under the bed, no problem.
GM made and sold an electric Chevy S10 for the '97 & '98 model years. They had the same drivetrain as the EV1. They even sold some outright to fleet customers rather than exclusively leasing, so a few dozen escaped being destroyed when GM crushed all the lease returns of the EV1.

The FTC has said that Qualcomm forced Apple to pay licensing fees for its technology in exchange for using its chips in iPhones.
Am I missing something? Isn't that how licensing works?

What I mean is, in this case, that nowhere says a hard disk must come with its own spinning engine.
That's exactly what an Iomega Jaz disk was, with a hard drive platter in a removable cartridge while the motors and heads were in the drive itself.

But if it doesn't help catch the person/people stealing things out of my bags it really isn't that useful.
