No, but blowing up a nuclear plant could injure and kill many more than that, and could put a relatively large portion of France out of commission for decades.
Their cars aren't on the market yet. They have no data on my driving.
Hmm... this leads to an interesting thought. Google may be looking to insure their cars. Insurance is one of the most notable burdens that autonomous cars will face, with the question of who will pay in the case of an accident (the manufacturer or the owner's insurance company).
If Google underwrites both manufacturing and insurance, they might be able to easily skip that hurdle altogether and gets the cars on the market faster.
Windows is supported with updates for a decade or more, which is easily 3 or 4 new versions. (Windows versions tend to come several years apart, not every year.)
Does any other popular consumer OS get that level of support?
Um, the justification was to avoid churches/religion because they have an agenda. Avoiding them for some other reason (preconceived notion, don't believe in their views, etc.) is a different justification and is not what we are talking about here.
Same reason I stay away from churches and religion in general. Each have their own agenda, whether the people who belong realize it or not.
What a silly thing to say. Of course they have agendas. Every person on the planet has an agenda. My 1 month old has an agenda to eat and poop.
Just because people have some kind of agenda doesn't mean you should avoid everybody. Use your brain. Find out what the agenda is before you dismiss it.
Blame will get placed on Obama. The same thing happened to Bush when Democrats took control in 2007, everything bad that happened after that point in time was blamed on him.
I'm almost certainly going to be switching from the Motorola phone to an iPhone this week. My wife will be a first time iPhone buyer this week as well. That is what happens when you make unpopular decisions in your market space and fail to improve.
I bought a Motorola phone a few months after they were bought by Google. I thought, oh, this means they will get quick updates.
Wrong.
Google wants Android to succeed but is unwilling to hold OEMs accountable. It should require all OEMs that use the Android logo to push all new Android updates to devices that are less than 2 years old, within 3 months for standard updates and within 1 month for critical security fixes.
I disagree. It doesn't have to be a "sudden" transition... the transition can be in planned scenarios (like transitioning from freeway to non-freeway driving). The car could also pull to the side of the road when weather conditions become too adverse.
"Driver must be prepared to take control at any time" is a reasonable disclaimer for early self-driving cars, and may even become the law in many states.
Just because you won't buy such a car doesn't mean there are not plenty of people who would.
Hydrogen is clearly superior to pure electric in usage
How so? In a hydrogen fuel cell, hydrogen is not used to power the vehicle directly through internal combustion. It is converted first to electricity (thus the term "fuel cell", because it is essentially a battery). The engine is powered by that electricity.
Due to conservation of energy, hydrogen fuel cells will never be more efficient than "pure electric".
But how exactly would the government regulate 3D printers? Tax them to hell? Ban them completely? Because there's little chance they can enforce any other regulation.
you only actually get to chat to each other for 1-2 hours a day
You act as if this is a bad thing.
Remote working really doesn't work well.
Actually it can, assuming everyone doesn't need hours of direct supervision. Of course, I don't really want to work with many of those types anyway.
I telework and everyone else is an hour ahead of me. It works out fine. One of the reasons is because my bosses aren't douchebags and they allow for flex scheduling. And they don't schedule too many meetings, meaning I actually have time to work on the things that they pay me to do.
Especially remote working across 8 time zones
Of course 8 time zones can be problematic, but probably not any more so than if everyone was in 2 time zones 8 hours apart.
Yep, that's the Wall Street line of thinking. Don't invest in the long-term viability of a company... make a quick buck as the stock is rising and drop it like hot potato when it dips.
Too many companies sell their souls to the devil in the form of an IPO. High frequency trading focuses on making money today and shareholders often don't care about decisions that pay off in five years or more.

If Windows 10 doesn't use the same installer for phones and desktops, then it's not the same OS.
Ah, I guess that means using a web installer vs. ISO gets you two different operating systems.
Gotcha.
Among popular consumer operating systems, Windows has the best track record in terms of longevity.
it is broken in every single browser
Looks fine in Lynx.
one has to ask is there something that is preventing women from getting jobs in IT
Absolutely.
But what if the answer is "no"?

But it's tail-call recursion and can be optimized into a loop. Your stack (of papers) overflow will never be an issue.
If you ban encryption, then only criminals will have encryption.

all because the entire economy depend on gas and oil sales
I think we're about to see how much of the modern Russian economy depends on being able to drive.

They don't regulate the printer. They regulate the product, i.e. the counterfeit money.
Of course they could regulate 3D-printed guns as well, but that isn't regulating the 3D printer.
Ah, so you meant to say:
Hydrogen fuel cells are clearly superior to common batteries in usage
Because the way you initially phrased it, I assumed you were talking about the efficiency of the energy conversion process.
But this isn't regulating 3D printers, this is regulating a subset of the possible things produced by 3D printers.

I don't think Joel likes TFS all that much. He's more into Mercurial/Kiln and Fogbugz.
