You seem to have it backwards; web users are more likely to be protected in this case!
To get the same level or protection on your own you need... your own server. Not much advantage to using a non-web client at that point, just a flavor issue.
Because neither they nor you said that! You said that they said, but it turns out, you didn't say and neither did they.
They difference isn't the fees, it is that they really are charging the CC once for every single $1 pledge.
That's the part they didn't clarify until after the news was out a couple days. And they never did present it as a mistake they made in communication. They've got some moron executive being stubborn about insisting they made a good decision, even while it is killing their brand.
People who live way out in suburbia are not going to be using it at all; they're already on the bus, they're going to take public transit to their destination.
In cities there are already reserved parking spots for shared vehicles in high density neighborhoods.
People in between will either drive their own car, or else use a bicycle or electric personal mobility device to get to a rental car. If it is a manual drive.
Once they are self-driving, they will simply show up outside the house a few minutes after you press the button on the app.
No, a computer taking down the network for others does not have to do with "firewalls" (strange thing to say, that) it was because you were on a token ring network.
The part you miss is that insurance isn't priced randomly. You don't understand why drunk drivers pay more instead of others getting discounts. You think insurance prices are a type of sin tax.
They're not.
Insurance is a competitive industry, you're not going to set rates significantly higher than the competition, you're not going to set rates higher than they are now.
If half the cars on the road are "self driving" then those cars all have less accidents. That means less liabilities for everybody. You can't force prices up, because the costs are going down and there is competition! Incentives for self-driving cars will only modify that curve; everybody's rates still go down. Consolidation will be painful for the industry, but there will still be competition.
I didn't ask if you like it. I made the observation all on my own.
It does however expose a small window into your mind; you don't even know that what you choose, you choose!
I don't need to ask a squirrel if it likes nuts, either. If it denied it, look, he's just trying to distract me because squirrels like to hide their nuts. They like nuts, they also like secrets.
The young tend to have lower income. The conflating variables are going to be a much larger signal than anything you can tease out already.
People who can afford a rental car will use it in preference to a bus, that doesn't mean they won't someday buy a car.
And why would insurance go up? That is just silly! That would push people off the insurance product. Insurance on self-driving cars is going to be much lower, longterm health for the auto insurance industry is iffy. They're going to have a lot of painful consolidation. If anything prices will go down as they try to incentivize people to stay and reduce turnover. Consolidation doesn't lead to a lack of supply, and the existing companies have liabilities and will want to maintain cash flow. That's a buyers market.
It is just hand-waving; self-driving cars will be cheaper to insure, and that will reduce the cost pressure on car ownership! Your analysis is standing on its head looking silly.
It's nothing at all analogous to "cobalt on Venus". As was explicitly stated: "Cobalt, however, is found in significant consequence everywhere that nickel, copper, and many other commonly mined metals are."
You literally did not in that statement say anything about where the metals are mined. You talked about where the metals are. That they are mined is used at the limiting factor for the set of things being discussed.
Because they're saying it is for a purpose that it isn't, and they're listing their own cut of the money as a smaller amount. Those together make it sound like it money that is charged by the credit card processor, but it isn't; it is extra money they're charging that has nothing to do with credit cards!
Nope. I wasn't wrong, you just didn't understand the literal meaning of the words I used. That's not even my fault.
You don't comprehend the meaning of the word exact, for example. This renders your analysis moot; you're arguing against different things than the things I said.
I probably just don't think most Americans are going to give up personal ownership of transportation. Some will. It will be a popular product, just like buses are popular.
I'd been considering joining, but I was going to give $1 each to a bunch of people, so no chance now.
It is totally dishonest and fraudulent because they're calling it a "transaction fee" and making it appear to be a CC fee, but they actually only charge the CC one time, even if you're giving 40 $1 pledges. So just, blatant fraud.
That's the thing about music snobs; they not only sell other people short, they sell themselves short, because they have this absurd idea that technical skill is why some musicians are professionals, and others aren't.
Financially successful musicians are not paid to play music, they're paid to perform. On stage. In front of people.
Only a complete moron would get a music degree out of a desire to be a professional musician. The reason for getting a degree would be out of a desire to teach music, or to compose classical music. For jobs actually playing music, nobody fucking cares. At all.
Who cares if more people are bad musicians? They won't have audiences. You'll only know about them if you stand still and listen; you can always just keep walking. Same for other bad art; it won't be in good galleries. Choose galleries you think are good! Solved.
Nope. They were already using Panasonic for their batteries. Yes, they've had manufacturing problems. No, they didn't switch their orders.
Their battery production problems relating to cars was simply in the assembly of the cells into batteries! None of that has changed, they must have actually only had "problems" not a failure.
Slashdot Mirror
Like Timothy Leary said in the 80s, in the future you can create your own reality with computers; drugs aren't needed anymore!
"Who controls the screens you look at controls your mind... you've got to control the screens you look at"
"Everybody gets the pixels they want, everybody gets the pixels they deserve!"
Welcome to the future.
Came here for that comment, wasn't disappointed! Actually I thought with only 21 comments I might have a chance to say it first, but no.
1. Great minds ...
2.
3. something about fapping
You're mistaking distinctions that help you understand the physics for the physics itself.
You can't actually separate the parts of the phenomenon in this case.
You're just parading ignorance as understanding, and then attempting to correct deeper understanding.
Without radiation, electrons can't move. You can't separate these laws. Actually, almost everything other than gravity is already unified...
I was slashdot. I checked, bored. I wanted neither interesting news or something that matters. I saw no article, and it did not matter.

Well, it is a low level job, and it might include refilling printer paper.
Maybe they find it unpleasant simply because of their own bad attitude?
Most of the job is simply looking up what the fix for something is, or repeating fixes you did before. It is technical, but not skilled.
lol no
Why are you bigoted against Neandertals?
Even my hosts with no published domains get attackers kicking at the server's door multiple times a minute!
Nobody has ever kicked at my front door of my house. One person tried the doorhandle one time, and ran away when I opened the door.
You haven't given any reason for believing it is desirable. You like it, so what?
Jumping up and down and insisting you really do like it does not act towards convincing me it has value, so why bother?

Naw, I probably did understand basic shit.
I probably just don't think most Americans are going to give up personal ownership of transportation. Some will. It will be a popular product, just like buses are popular.
It will totally kill Amtrak.
No, see, if you were cured and you went back to the old lifestyle it would take the original length of time to get sick again.
This isn't like that. Here, if you return to the old lifestyle you find out right away you still have the disease, you sick again right away.
There is a rather large difference between the words "remission" and "cure."
Only complete fucking morons would resort to hyperbole.
Oh, wait.
