If most long haul freight is moved by driverless trucks programmed not to kill people whose cars break down on the road in front of them, there's gonna be a big resurgence in highwayman type banditry. These driverless trucks are going to need guards to keep people from stopping them and helping themselves to what's inside.
That aspect of the background check would be illegal under this law as well. Asking an agent, e.g. the IRS to reveal your income is included in the things this law bans.
25 years ago when my family finally went from antenna to Comcast cable, one thing they did when installing their cable runs was to snip the connectors off then end of all of the in-house antenna coax that was there before... Tough to go back to antenna when you can't hook it up any more.
20 years ago I used to do some PERL stuff, so regex idea came to mind... but then I recalled how much better people said Python was then PERL for most purposes... and the Coursera class from UMich was really engaging... Dr. Chuck's way of Python clicked, and I could finish one of his month-long classes in a weekend... and then turn around and apply it to my project. I also used a Udacity? (maybe Udemy... don't remember which one) class on JS to pick up enough to redesign my webpage... it still looks 15 years old, but it is now all interconnected with JS, making updates much much easier...
There are great classes out there for free... find a teacher you like, and learn. Not all of them are the heavy-Indian-accented impenetrable ones that you do run into quite often.
I'm in a similarly situated position. I'm a lawyer. I have a bunch of stuff in my email inbox that serves as records of travel miles I can deduct. For a few years I'd spend the hours manually entering this stuff into a spreadsheet monthly. Then I realized that there must be an easier way to deal with it... so I found the Coursera class on Python for Data Analytics, learned enough Python to scan an inbox for the messages that indicated dates of travel, and spent a day hacking together something that would rifle through my inbox, extract all of the travel emails, and dump them into a.xls file.
You need a goal... then research the tools that people think would get you to it.
What sort of TOS does Google bundle the Fiber service with? I know the for-profit telecoms all exclude resale or commercial use... would Google Fiber work as a connection point for a WISP that connects, say, a rural valley with no other options? Spreading out 1GB of service over a bunch of households wirelessly would be a fine way to get them hooked up... and if Goog is willing to serve as their connection point... interesting things could happen.
Public housing is high density and hence easy to deploy to. Committing to run fiber out to the backwoods "hollers" wouldn't work... maximum bang for the buck comes from density.
Imagine your insurance company or govt agency disintermediates all of the humans in their customer service chain, and leaves us with AI capable of making decisions tasked with doing so. Shudder.
Every so often an event makes the news that somebody in the TSA has been busted for stealing out of luggage. Did you observe or suspect these sorts of shenanigans were happening while you worked for them? Are these one-off bad apples, or is it the TSA's informal wage-boost bonus system?
I've used Splashtop on my tablet for years very happily. Both on home network and over the internet. Just looked and found that there are free/non-commercial clients that run on PC hardware too... I've tried them and they work as well as they do in the tablet context.
Splashtop works, but isn't free. I do find it is smoother and less buggy feeling than the free VNCs. There's supposed to be a google chrome RDP plugin too, but I've not played with that yet.
Sounds like somebody stole your debit card that pulls from your bank account. That is different and more of a pain than a credit card. IF you were missing payments on your house and utilities and such like, the money was gone... not a disputed charge against your account, but actually gone. That sucks. But is not relevant to credit cards as such, which won't take your money away if you dispute the charges.
How can they open source the code, then flog it to somebody else who claims "complete ownership"? What license did they release the open source branch under?
Better literacy leads to a better ability to spot the poorly written bogus come-ons that get you infected when you click on them? I just can't believe it.
That's a nice idea for you. But it seems to be one way only. As an American whose ancestors came here 200+ years ago, there are huge hurdles to me deciding I want to go to any other country to learn to do anything they do well. If Grandad had come from Ireland or Germany, sure I'd be a repatriating expat... but I'm sorta stuck. If I wanted to go to Germany and work for an old-world distiller or brewer, things I'm not bad at here, I'm SOL. You want open borders, open them both ways. Maybe I'd happily let you take my seat at the American table, if somewhere else would let me go there without buying my way in to the tune of $.5M or so.
There are companies out there like Support.Com that pay about double minimum wage for North American English speaking tech-literate folks to help tech-clueless folks do stuff like install printers and fight off viruses. Maybe you should look into that angle.
Even so... who is going to go to the expense to produce 3DTV programs? Selling a few early adopters 3D TV sets, regardless of their usability, isn't going to sell 3D cameras and post-production tech to all the TV studios. This "feature" has years to mature or wither on the vine... because there's not going to be content that uses it for a long time to come.

Here's the list of WU KB#s that I've been removing recently to counter this stuff:
from CMD you can run the remove operation using this format:
wusa /uninstall /kb:2505438 /quiet /norestart
I do it to all of the following:
kb:2902907, kb:2952664, kb:2977759, kb:2990214, kb:3021917, kb:3022345, kb:3035583, kb:3044374, kb:3050265, kb:3065987, kb:3068708, kb:3075249, kb:3075851, kb:3075853, kb:3080149
These are probably the same people whose iPhone battery is constantly in the red too...
Google owns Waze now. I think that is where the live real-time traffic data is coming from.

This needs more attention. Congress needs to be forced to think about this.
Install a VM with a godawfully infected version of Windows 98 on it and turn them loose on it... for the lulz.
There are companies out there like Support.Com that pay about double minimum wage for North American English speaking tech-literate folks to help tech-clueless folks do stuff like install printers and fight off viruses. Maybe you should look into that angle.
I don't believe that this is the end... More books in the series are anticipated.
Hmmm... antitrust fun and hilarity will surely ensue.

Agreed... GBPVR is a great package, and has a great community of devs.
