Your scenario only really works if just that one kid is under surveillance. If it's being done to everyone and everyone knows it, then the threat of all those personal secrets becoming public loses a lot of its power. I would imagine that people would just self-censor when communicating electronically like a lot of people already do today.
Among them was disable the brakes, set the cruise control to a high speed, and make it impossible to shut off the engine or open the doors.
Shift into neutral and use the parking brake; turn the ignition off. Granted, some vehicles use push-button ignition, but the transmission selector and parking brake still operate mechanically on most vehicles.
The Feds did their investigation, came up with more evidence and counter-evidence than you will ever know about, and judged that in total, it wasn't enough to even make a reasonable case.
The problem with this analysis is that there are people (e.g. Kristian Saucier) that are being prosecuted for doing much less than Hillary Clinton was proven to have done.
Hillary should be doing hard time for her mishandling of classified information.
Why not get a cheap Chromebook? I have a $150 Hisense model and it works fine for browsing, word processing, Spotify and Netflix. I have it hooked up to an external monitor and stereo amplifier with a Logitech K400 wireless keyboard/trackpad.
I think it's pretty clear that the Switch isn't a premium machine. Nintendo had to cut a few corners in order to reach their $300 price-point: a lower quality display, poor battery life, a plastic body and cheap analog sticks.
The problem is how many people would pay $600 for a Switch like they do for a high-end smartphone?
The problem is that, absent corruption, it is not true that private is automatically better then public.
There's your problem, right there! Absent corruption. How many organizations made up of people are absent corruption? Any?
As someone who lives in one of the most corrupt cities in the Nation (Chicago), I can tell you that private enterprise can most certainly do things better than public government.
And these are people who claim to be experienced software engineers.
I'm curious, what was the educational background of these candidates? Were they self-taught, or did they just attend poor schools? From what I remember of college (mid to late 90's), basic data structures, sorting algorithms and complexity were handled in the second C.S. course.
Other than physical money, how do you think new money is introduced into the system?
All new issuances are backed by debt.
The U.S. Treasury sells debt in the form of bonds. The Federal Reserve buys these bonds up on the market, typically from its member banks, and then issues credit to those banks. The Federal Reserve may also distribute new bills to its member banks after they have been printed by the Treasury.
Take a look at one of the bills in your pocket and notice the words "Federal Reserve Note" at the top.
You're missing the point. Once a publicly-traded company becomes large enough they start getting included in various market indexes and private funds. Thus if you have any money in those funds or indexes then you're forced to support Uber.
If a company decides to make something that cannot be repaired... well, ok. It may be that laws like this simply push manufacturers to shut down their internal repair groups and stop supporting any warranty or repair at all.
Non-repairable units are somewhat common with automotive technology. They're called sealed units and you end up having to send the entire unit back to the manufacturer for service.
I just had some problems with the transmission in my Mitsubishi Lancer and one of the possible causes was a bad/sticking solenoid inside of the valve body. I have a TC-SST transmission which is manufactured by Getrag, not Mitsubishi. This means that my Mitsubishi dealer cannot perform any service on the internals of the transmission. Getrag does not sell individual solenoids, so you have to buy the entire assembly for $2,300 or use third-party parts.
Try it sometime. Catch a bumblebee, bring him indoors and let him fly around in the evening. When you turn the room lights off he'll fall to the ground. When you turn them on he'll start flying again.
Rubies, emeralds and sapphires are all more expensive gemstones than diamond.
I would only buy lab stones unless I had some reason for wanting a particular piece of jewelry that already had stones mounted. They look just as nice and are a lot cheaper to obtain.
It blows me away that the IRS will just mail a pre-paid card out for someone's tax return, from what I understand it doesn't even have to be sent to the address on file for the taxpayer. At least with a check or an electronic deposit there's a paper trail.
Put the liability for improper identity verification on the financial institutions and watch the problem get fixed real fast.
I know it's not done because of cost, but identity verification really should be done in-person. You verify their government issued documents, maybe confirm some biometrics and if someone is trying to commit fraud you have them right there for the police to apprehend.
I have two young male tabbies and they chase each other around the living room, up the stairs to my bedroom and back down again. I bought a couple sets of Kitty City cat furniture and made them an L-shaped tower about eight feet tall. The post in the middle is sisal and they'd chase each other up to the top and sometimes fight to be on certain platforms.
In addition to battling each other, they've also knocked over an end table and lamp, knocked their tower down by jumping from the top, pulled ceramic dishes off of a bookshelf and broken them and pulled my Phillips Hue lamps down from the top of my kitchen cabinets. They've actually been really good about not destroying furniture, but they have a giant scratching post they can both use at once.
When they were kittens they were much crazier, but small enough they couldn't do much damage. They would really go after each other when play fighting, pouncing hard on the other one and then turning into a little ball of fury.
Kind of begs the question as to why you want to live in Silicon Valley? You could move to a place with a lot of tech jobs like Chicago, make more money and have a lower cost of living. Yeah, the winters can suck, but it's not bad with the right gear.
I pay $1,100 for a two-level place with 3-bedrooms, high ceilings, skylights, and a covered garage spot. There's plenty of street parking in the neighborhood, I can catch the bus less than a half-block away and it takes me about 30 minutes to get to work.
I looked at buying a place in one of the western Chicago suburbs a few years ago and the high taxes really surprised me. They were around $6,000 to $7,000 per year, almost double what you'd pay in the city.
I've been renting my place on the south-side of Chicago for almost 10 years and pay $1,100 per month for a nice 3-bedroom place in a two-flat with a high ceiling, skylights and a third-floor addition. I've got a small backyard, a covered garage spot and plenty of street parking.
I thought I wanted my own place, but not after seeing what I'd have to pay for taxes or, God forbid, an HOA.
I used to work at a place where they started cracking down on what employees were allowed to reach from the office network in an attempt to reduce the bandwidth used for non-work tasks. They were a large national employer, so the Spotify, Pandora, YouTube, Netflix, etc. traffic was significant.
Eventually things got so bad that you couldn't even connect to the Internet using your work laptop at home without first connecting to the corporate VPN. And of course once you were connected to the VPN you still couldn't reach the banned sites/services even though you were at home.
One day some wise-guy in the systems engineering group decides he's tired of the restrictions and sets up a VPN on his home server on a port that could be reached from the office. This works for awhile until he lets enough people in on the secret that someone in network security notices all of those connections to the same remote system that are up all day long; gotta give 'em credit for paying attention. So netsec. traces the connections, figures out which business unit the people involved work for and calls up both their boss and the Director of the business unit to let them know that their people appear to be violating security policy.
The Director had better things to do than deal with this nonsense, so he verbally reprimands the people involved and then makes an announcement to everyone under him to consider this their one warning and that if he hears about anything like this again they'll be terminated on the spot.
Or, better yet, find out what's actually causing your stomach to produce excess acid and eliminate it from your diet.
Sometimes the problem is not due to diet, but other things like hiatal hernia, weak lower esophageal sphincter, pressure on mid-section, H, Pylori infection, etc.
I start having problems once I go over a certain body weight, but the symptoms go away when I lose the excess weight.

Maybe we could put the unskilled labor to work underneath our cities producing energy through physical exertion?

Wouldn't this encourage everyone to work as a contractor an be paid hourly? Or is that not a thing in Japan?

Surely you could run Chime in an Android VM on a Linux host?
I believe he did the smart thing, and probably the best when it comes to making a stand.
He also proved that he cannot be trusted to keep secrets.
The right thing to do would have been to refuse to provide the PIN, be denied entry and then let JPL deal with it.
