The first thing I can tell you is that if the writing is going fuzzy and out of focus you are not turning your head but instead you are moving your eyes behind the glasses. The only way to avoid this would seem to be to move your head and therefore your eyes along each line of code as you read it. If this doesn't work for you then go back to bi vocals.
If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck then its a duck. Whilst it is true that Uber and Lyft do not provide a taxi service they are in with competition with the cab companies who I suspect pick up the majority of their business from phone bookings.
All of this ignores what I was saying which is that the tokens are not a commodity that has a value of its own but rather something that you have to have in order to operate a cab. Its purpose appears to have been to limit the number of cabs on the road and to ensure re that the people driving cabs had some idea of what they were doing. There may be other unintended consequences but that does not change the intention.
There is a similar system in Sydney, Australia except there you have to buy the number plates either on the open market or from the Government. Either way the price was about $200.000 about 30 years ago. Now we have Uber coming in and allowing anyone who has a car and a license to provide a taxi service. They have no training and are not compelled to keep their vehicle maintained or even clean. Who is making the money out of this? I bet it isn't the drivers. Come clean Uber and Lyft. How much are you making from this?
I think you are missing the point which is that the medallions are not a commodity but something you have to have to operate a cab in some american cities. If Huber and Lyft want to operate a cab service they should have to buy the tokens. If they don't have tokens they should stay off the road. They aren't qualified and are behaving like pirates.
Millions of driverless vehicles? Surely you jest.
On the other hand, would I get into a car that was getting its input from electronics made by the cheapest sources and controlled by software written by gen y idiots. Not on your life.
I, for one, do not see obesity as disability in the same way that intellectual impairment is. You are not born obese and you do notbecome obese as a result of a car crash. You become obese because of your inability to control the amount and type of food that you eat. Lack of exercise probably helps. To call this a disability suggests that this is something over which you have no control. This is not true. We haveto hope that the trial does not go to an obese judge.
Given that the number of obese people is increasing at aan alarming rate removing one of the incentives to have some control over ones weight is not recommended.
There are good reasons for not wanting to hire obese people. They are more likely to need sick leave. How does the guy in the day care keep up with the kids? What if he fell on oone of them.
This is a really bad idea.
I have long thouught that our governments have become dependent on the revenue derived from their citizens doing things that are bad for them whilst at times running advertising campaigns telling us to stop.I refer to alcohol use, smoking tobacco and driving our cars too fast. The government should legalise marijuana, not because it is no worse than alcohol but it allows them to control the market and more importantly to make a lot of money from its sale. The article confirms something that I have long believed which is that the purpose of speeding fines is to provide wages for our police whose job it is to give out the citations.
The reason that it is wrong and illegal is that you are using part of the other persons monthly allocation of download. We have a neighbour who will use our entire monthly allocation 2 gigabytes of download in 2 days if we give them a chance. As we have to pay get this then using it and preventing us from using it becomes theft.
Whilst it would take a lot of time, effort and money to produce such a database of prior art this would still seem to be much simpler than trying to get patent judges to actually think about what they are doing when they allow silly patents such as the one click purchase et al.
Linux is not an OS. Neither are any of the variations on Windows. The reason that I say this is that in neither case does the so called "OS" run the application. The application calls the required code in the os kernel when it wants to use it. The distinction may be subtle but is important nonetheless. Getting back to the original point, which is why hasn't Linux taken off? Apart from the obvious point of its lack of intuitiveness there is the apparently less obvious point of its price. Being free makes it worthless in the eyes of most software buyers. I am stunned that it has done so well. A measurable share of the OS market is far more than it should be entitled to hope for. I am not a big fan of windows but I like linux/unix even less.
I would have to say that you are not so much idealist as you are short sighted. One of the biggest problems with outsourcing is that it reduces the tax revenue in Countries like the US and Australia. It also gives our children absolutely no incentive to get an education because the jobs that they need an education for are being done somewhere else by someone who will work for a lot lesss than they will. The corporations that send all of our jobs to places like Bangalore and Shanghai don't seem to understand that if if everything is made somewhere else then there won't be enough people here with enough money to buy the goods anyway. When product are made by cheap labour the price doesn't go down, the profits just go up.

Sorry that should say bi focals.

It really is that simple.
