Interesting, but portable products are also fairly limited by available surface area, which apparently has not changed in terms of amount needed per Watt.
the bus was behind and starting to pass the AV on the left side
To hit the side of a bus, it has to already be passing you.
The bus was in the wrong - it was passing another vehicle in the same lane.
The whole purpose of double-wide lanes is so that people making right turns don't impede people not making right turns. You don't need that extra space for any other purpose. If you can't go past someone making a right hand turn, then the whole reason for the lane is defeated.
If the lane is blocked, then you have to go around it. And it's still a single lane - it does NOT have a marked "right turn" lane. One at a time, and passing another vehicle in the same lane is illegal. Even if they're over to the side - it's not legal to pass them. If they come back - you're at fault.
And if the google car was going 2mph then the correct action is for the google car to stop for the sandbag rather than jump in front of a bus.
From the description in the summary, it sounds like the car ran into the side of the bus. It didn't jump in front of it, it sideswiped it as it tried to go around sandbags in its lane. Assuming that the bus was in its own lane, the car had to leave the lane it was in to do that.
See, that's the thing - they were in the same lane. The AV was in the right side of the lane preparing to turn, the bus was behind and starting to pass the AV on the left side of the lane. The AV saw sandbags in its way, so slowed and moved over - and the bus did not yield. You cannot pass another vehicle in its same lane in nearly any situation (the one I know of that is legal is lane splitting on a motorcycle in California). The bus was in the wrong - it was passing another vehicle in the same lane.
Two wars became 3. Two recessions became one long, extended one (with record numbers out of the workforce because of a lack of jobs). And our debt still skyrockets - nearly $1 trillion in the last 12 months. Yep - no vision, no plan, no budget (remember the first 4 years of the Obama Administration, and the complete LACK of a Federal budget, just continuing resolutions by Reid and Pelosi and Obama?)
China's far from capitalist. It's a fascist oligarchy, where the dominant industries and companies are majority-or-wholly State owned, and the rest are heavily regulated to the benefit of the State and State-owned entities. And it's all contolled by 2000 families in Beijing who make up the National People's Congress, who use their personal connections/influence to get the Premier and President to do what they want (where the real power resides).
We don't have to wait that long. We can plug it into a model and say that, because of the model, another 1 billion people will die in the next 30 years. So give more money or something like that...
Probably a few hundred thousand people there, between investors and employees. I guess taking the bus or a train or walking 2 days for each would be a serious punishment, eh?
Happens all the time - especially here in California. I know of many "eternal flames" all along the pumps in Ventura and Los Angeles Counties. And the environmentalists get their panties in a bind over a small man-made leak...
Coal Oil Point off of Santa Barbara, a NATURAL methane/oil seep, leaks 40 tons per day. Been doing it for hundreds of years. And will continue doing so. And that's just one natural seep in California - there are hundreds of them off-shore.
Hmmm... Failing to see "Port" in either name. I recognize English may not be your native language, but the statement " in general navy bases in towns called "Port " do tend to have access to water" isn't contradicted by your post.
Officially we get 278 days a year of sun, but I think it's more than that, at least these last few years. But hey, you lived near here, you know, right? It's not like you're here NOW... Quite a far cry from your claim of "Lots of overcast", eh?
I actually live in Port Hueneme. We're between Ventura and Malibu. A ton of sun - typically 320 days a year of sun. Today will be totally clear blue skies and about 80 degrees for the high temperature. It's a really nice little community down here, with great weather year round. Definitely beats the fall/winter/spring in Seattle (where I'm originally from)!
Some of his work may be amenable to telecommuting, but the rest of it may not be. For example, answering e-mails or writing status reports would work for me, in a telecommute-style role. But making measurements in the acoustics lab (with it's anechoic chamber) is kind of hard to do unless I'm present. I surmise most people here on/. fall in the same category, where there still is a demand for a good portion of your job to be done on-site.
Does that include Robert, with the extremely thick Bengalese accent, calling about my prescription plan and how I need to change because my current prescription is no longer covered? He calls every couple of weeks...
In the Apple world-view - you're just borrowing their property. Never mind you paid for it, it's still theirs and they retain 100% right to do anything to it at any time, and you just have to accept it. Because, you know, It Just Works. For them...

Educate yourself.
Tiny. Like - really tiny.

That explains the Obama Administration to a "T"!

No, nuclear IS superior, but most people are irrational and choose the inefficient solution.
I can get my chicken filet sandwich that much sooner!
For inflicting not just his terrible "music" on us, but giving the media a reason to keep the Kardashians in the spotlight!
since most programmers couldn't program their way out of an open paper bag.
They don't need to - there's an emacs script for getting out of a paper bag...

Yes, in general navy bases in towns called "Port " do tend to have access to water... Not a lot of naval bases in the middle of deserts!
When are white holes going to be discovered? :-)

A team of 50 people - that's $5 million a day. Do it sporadically over the course of a few years - yeah, a billion is possible...
