Depending on the cost of cabs and availability, people might find it preferable take their personal driverless car to work then send it home or to a parking lot that may be a few miles away where it can wait to be summoned back for the ride home.
Back in the mid 90s, I worked at a company that built protocol analyzers. During lunch break we would sometimes play Descent (2?). One day, a couple of us took a protocol analyzer and figured out which packet to push into the network to cause more mega missiles to appear (normally, there was only one or two in existence at a time).
When we played at lunch that day, we had a hilarious time when the biggest super weapon in the game became the primary weapon. Once the other players figured it out it became a grab/shoot/die fest.
One of the guys we pulled this on afterwords: "I picked up one mega missile and was like 'cool' then I got another, and another and another then I thought 'Holy Crap! These things are like water!"
A better strategy would have been to get the old med banned for some reason which would force people on the new med and keep generics from cropping up at some point.
Seriously, if a drug company decides to stop making a drug, the patent should automatically expire.
Well, if his assets are $20 Billion and his return on all his assets were only 5%, he would be generating $1billion in income. A write off of $70 million lowers his taxable income to $930 million. ( my guess is his return is higher than 5% but that is a SWAG)
Nobody even mentioned that the modern carrier also has a large amount of electronics, sensors and other fancy doodads that no cargo ship will ever have to contend with (they may have a decent weather radar but they don't have any need to scan the sky for aircraft for example).
That may be well and good in the air to air role but this thing is supposed to be an attack plane too. And how long is it before the new radar tech finds its way into fighters?
In American Football, you can't tackle anyone, there are rules but generally, you can only tackle the guy who has the ball but blocking is allowed so that leads to lots of hits.
Did the study take majors and school into account? If the black college grad population has a much higher percentage of degrees in social sciences versus technical degrees, that could be a part of the difference. It is likely that a large percentage of blacks got degrees from less prestigious black colleges compared to whites.
Just a couple of factors that could account for some of the gap.
I think the 800 mile requirement would be if the "fill up" were to take hours like it does now. Like he said, if he had a 300 mile range and the ability to fully recharge in 10 minutes, it would take the time that a gas car takes now.
If you live or work in the city though, minivans are far less convenient - they are big, hard to park, and not hipster enough for you. In the suburbs, they are perfect.
I wish minivans would stay in the suburbs. How often do I see a minivan attempt to park on my street and it leaves 1/2 of a spot in front and 1/2 of a spot in back leaving no space for others to park, essentially taking up two parking spots. Then when I go out to the suburb to visit and need to park on the one street that has public parking there are lines drawn that are, I shit you not 30' per spot. Maybe what I wish is that suburbs removed their giant-ass parking spots so people might actually learn how to park a car in a normal-sized spot so when they came downtown they could be more considerate.
I call BS. Unless the spots are meant for Minis or Smarts, there is no way a minivan will take up two whole spots (1 plus two halves that you claim). A Honda minivan is less than a foot longer than an Accord and maybe six inches wider.
As far as the size of parking places goes in the suburban outback, I have seen parking lots with huge spaces but they are usually old places where they never shrank them from their 1970s size upon repaving the lot. Most places have normal size parking spaces that will only seem huge if you drive a very small car (Mini or Smart).
Since the dog can't smell memory, it must have been trained to smell something about the electronic components. That's bound to trigger a LOT of false positives in the modern world.
This might be a fun thing to do. Get a lot of old flash drives, sd cards, and the like, the old super cheap ones of course, and stick them everywhere. Under the carpet, taped to the bottom of the drawers, in the hem of the curtain, etc. After 30 or 40 of them, somebody is going to get sick of playing that game, and it might be the dog, If you're really mean, store a picture of a treasure map on each one, and maybe some lists of random hexadecimal numbers.
It'll drive them nuts. To really get the point across when they ask, just tell them the truth, that it's a joke, there's absolutely nothing of value stored on them, and yes, you want them back and undamaged.:P
They will completely destroy your house digging up every memory stick and then leave you to clean up the mess.
A new type of deer that to 99% of people might look similar to some other type of deer could escape detection but a bigfoot would be similar if they were all so similar to humans and simply blending in with us. Maybe that is the answer, tall people are bigfoots!
In my state, if you enter the intersection before it turns red, you are OK. This is how many people make an unprotected left when traffic is heavy (but this tactic gets jacked up when some ass wipe won't move out into the intersection while it is green).
That is how I see them, I can see the countdown timer and know weather or not I will make it and not have to suddenly make a choice at the last moment. They should mount the count down up next to the lights where they are clearly visible.

Good times. Now, get back to work.
When Stay With Me played on the radio, I would sing the Petty lyrics just to tick off my kids.

How do you know the person at the polling place is actually legally allowed to vote?
We could implement some sort of credentialing system.

What about if, due to "electrical fluctuations" the yellow light lasts 3.1 seconds? Do they still ticket 3.0 seconds?
Nobody even mentioned that the modern carrier also has a large amount of electronics, sensors and other fancy doodads that no cargo ship will ever have to contend with (they may have a decent weather radar but they don't have any need to scan the sky for aircraft for example).
Pictures or it didn't happen.
With this close approach to the Earth, couldn't its orbit be changed?
A ranch style transitional with a pool.
Money can be shunted away from buying SWAT gear toward the cameras.
Maybe he has a hot date and he needs to get to the pharmacy for some prescriptions?

If these people have knowledge of a crime, aren't they legally obligated to report it to law enforcement?
Normally, one could claim no knowledge of a crime but in this case, they have announced that they have knowledge of crimes.

Likely much less than half the cost on a per aircraft basis and already proven to work.

If the viewscreen fails, they just use an app on their iPhone.
