Regional can be up to 500 miles, and from talking with a friend who is a trucker, his regional run (for Oberto jerky) typically is 300 miles in a day. A single burp in his route, or an extra hour idling and he can't make his run.
Given the fact that tractors typically put in 450-600 miles in a day... Yeah yeah, stop and charge, but given it takes a few hours to charge a car, and this will supposedly have a MUCH bigger battery pack, I guess truckers can now get 300 miles before they have to stop for 5-6 hours to recharge, meaning drive for 7 hours, charge for 6, drive for 7, charge for 6, etc. Not too conducive to rest!
Judge Robert Morin was appointed to the court by President Clinton, and moved to the Chief Judge position by President Obama. I think it's safe to say he's not a "GOP lackey"...
I registered for my Kroger's rewards card (well, it was Fred Meyer, up in Lynnwood), with a made-up phone number. Works great, even 11 years later! No e-mail, no phone number, no nothing. They know a certain person with a given phone number buys XY and Z every month - but who is that person? This is not Amazon - that is the point. You don't have to create and sign into an account to buy something, you can walk in off the street and just pay cash and walk out.
I walk into my grocery store, I pick out my food, I put it in my basket or cart, I go to the checkout, I get my purchases rung up, I pull out some cash - and I go away. What personal data do they have? They know that a single person bought items XY and Z, but other than that?
Yeah, but what if that's just what they want you to think? What if the router companies are in on it, man, and they like hide that data from you because they hide all data that goes to the NSA and Bilderburg and Illuminati servers? Man, you need to get your tinfoil ON because they can even use your smartwatch to act as an EEG sensor to read your brain. They are out there, man, they are on to you!
He earned 304 of 538 total votes. Apparently you are confused about who elects the President? There are 538 total electors who cast votes for Presidents, one per Senator, one per Representative, and 3 for DC. States tend to hold popular elections to tell the electors what to do, but that is simply at the convenience of the State. States could hold a dueling match, rock/paper/scissors, or flip a coin in they chose. Some States break them up, some don't. But in the end, there are only 538 votes actually cast for the President, and President Trump won 57% of the vote. There is no "popular vote" or "popular election".
This says otherwise. If you have more up-to-date statistics, I'd be interested. Much of the money brought in from gas taxes is spent not on roads but on mass transit, planes, bike lanes, etc.
No, I got the sarcasm, but also wanted to point out the fallacy that in the US roads "cost money". No, they actually MAKE money, enough to pay for themselves AND transit funding - all off the gas tax alone. The economic benefit of not being Elbonia is just a bonus...
HINT: there is ZERO private land ownership within China. Even your "apartment" (condo, really). You get, at best, a 75 year lease with an explicit clause in it that the Government can repossess at any time with no prior notice, and just pay you "fair market value". No land was confiscated, the Government just canceled its leases. Now, if you were a city dweller, and the Government decided to rebuild/repurpose your apartment building, you typically get a nice payout and a new apartment somewhere else - but if you're a farmer in the middle of nowhere, you just some RMB and sent along your way.
Shanghai is supposed to extend the line to People's Square by 2019, then out to Hongqiao by 2021. That would make a cross-town (PVG to SHA)trip about 30 minutes, as opposed to 1.5 (taxi) to 2 (subway line 2) hours.
The RMB is not pegged. The HKD is pegged to a narrow band, but the RMB is manipulated as Beijing deems so that they can have an accelerator on the import/export/production side of the economy. In the last 2 years, the RMB has gone from ~6.3 to one USD to ~7 to one USD, and now sits about 6.7 RMB to the USD. It's more ""volatile" compared to the EUR:USD exchange rate. Would that mean the EUR is pegged to the USD?
And there definitely is a housing bubble in China. Three years ago, my wife (Shanghainese) and I helped my stepdaughter buy an apartment in Shanghai. 34 square meters, it was about 1.8 million RMB (about $275,000). She's looking to move to a different area of Shanghai, and the appraisals are coming in at 4.2 million RMB - more than doubling of price in about 3 years. That's a nice 30% return, annually. Multiple real estate agents have told us that - IF we decide to sell - we can expect all-cash offers within 1-2 days, and probably a bidding war that will push the price to around 4.5 million RMB.
In the US, roads are actually profitable when you factor in the gas taxes paid. In fact, road taxes (via the gas tax) pays for big subsidies for transit and air travel...
It is for acoustics and mechanical. And in the world I work in, software as well. Most are suprised to learn I have an EE background, given the amount of other areas I work in - quite successfully.
You are not a polymath; you're a programmer. A polymath covers different fields, not just one (software). I'm a polymath - I am often hired to do electrical, or mechanical, or acoustical, or software/firmware engineering. And often hired to lead multi-discipline teams because I can relate to the different disciplines and help make the best overall system decisions because I can see the costs and benefits of solutions rendered in all those different fields. And I am paid VERY well for being a polymath...
Using the same method of calculation as used up until 1990, it is actually about 5%. Of course, that's when a half gallon of ice cream was still half a gallon, and things like chocolate chips and sausage came by the pound, not 12 ounces. Smaller packages at the same price now, however, are not considered inflation - they judge by the price of the "typical size" of the item purchased, not per-ounce. And given that housing prices since 2013 have increased about 5% per year, and rent has followed, statistics that fudge all that to come up with 1.7% actual inflation are pretty much a lie.

Motorcycle riders don't given they miss motorcycles at a rate 10 times higher than cars or pedestrians...
And thus she earns a label?

How many votes do you think are actually cast for the President? Trump won the majority vote. Provably so...

All they had to do was ask Elvis Presley - he had 90 gold albums!
Since his cars don't "see" motorcycles, his own autopilot - a car-based, basic robot system - is a killer for fellow users of the road...
Awesome analogy! Now if you can change the size of the trailer used to haul the goods out to be measured in Libraries of Congress - we'd be set!
