In DC (where I am) no such thing exactly exist. You can get monthly cards that cost you the cost of 18 (36 one way trips) of your selected distance, its a seriously weird system.

In many places it can often be a Bus->Subway->Bus which can easily be over $10 for people who need to get across town. If you UberPool esepcially if you buy a monthly pass you can get Uber to under $10 a ride.

Its possible they are both evil, but every issue is unique. I'm not sure if their patent held merit, but abusing sovereign immunity to keep a patent is ridiculous.

While I know this high pixel count is worthless, can anyways with actual knowledge of the technology tell me if this would help with digital zoom? If my cellphone camera could offer me a 10x zoom producing a 4 Megapixel image, this is something I might consider buying.

Pluto would be a Planet orbiting Sol. The Moon would be a Planet and moon of Earth. So you have Astroids, Planets, and Comets (Comets being Asteroids that have tails). Earth has one planet orbiting it, Luna or the Moon, It has many Astroids orbiting it. This system works no matter what star system you are dealing with.
 

Many interpretations are that it is actually a wave, and not a particle at all during travel. So it isn't "two places at the same time" so much as it is a wave. From the perspective of this wave though travel is instantaneous (time does not pass), so its not breaking a law being a particle at one place, a wave during the travel, then a particle at the end point.

Not all H1Bs go to Silicon Valley, keeping them out wouldn't help other States, it might help other countries as you suggest.

I do agree we should crack down on H1B abuse, but the idea at heart is a good one. I think they should give priority to converting Student Visa to H1B. I've known a few foreign student visas who have done so, but they didn't get any priority. If there person is already here at a student it makes sense to keep them here as an employee, no reason to lose those we educate.

I'm really bothered by this 100% accuracy claim. Based upon the study they can at best claim near 100% accuracy, or 99.9% accuracy. There isn't enough data to say its 100% accurate, there will always be some rate of error.

Uber is 100% right on this one, though. They have a licensed driver in the front seat in command.

It depends upon how its implemented and sold to its customers really.

1) Commercial vehicles have stricter regulations than private vehicles. These self driving cars are NOT owned by the operator like traditional Ubers, they appear to be owned by Uber corporate.
2) The self driving regulations in the states that allow it are trying to achieve a balance, they are giving the driver more freedom to say txt and drive during the testing.

If anyone gets killed by one of these Uber test, expect California to go after Uber corporate hard. This is a liability nightmare that Uber should stop and think about.

There is a row of Tesla chargers at my local movie theatre. It's never full, but I couldn't imagine someone wanting to run out during the movie to move their car. This issue will be solved once they are self driving, it could find a spot after is done charging.

So, let's say you are Microsoft and the Muslim registry division buys 1000 license for Microsoft SQL. Does Microsoft risk a shareholder lawsuit by denying to sell a license?

I just tried reading the regulation itself. ITS REALLY long and overly complicated. But the gist of it seems they want an fake engine noise around 58dB up to 30km in speed at which tire/wind noises are about 60dB and fake noises are no longer needed.

These people you talk about are the incompetent ones. The outsourced workers are no better in this area, in fact they are often much much worse. The competent programmers in India generally get a scholarship to the US or Europe, few of them stay in India. This causes a brain drain in India where the ones left are average at best. The education system there also has a big problem with college degrees being purchased. With this bigger population its much harder to shift through them to find competent employees who haven't already been snatched up.

This stuff mostly already exist, and device with GPS (which these would have to have in order to be geoblocked in the first place), has places in the world they won't work. Primarily though they can't go over a certain speed or altitude, this is to avoid commerical GPS units from being used for guided missiles.

Yep, this is about web games only. That said, WebGL is becoming a powerful replacement, its certainly better than Flash. With Unity now providing an export to WebGL option. Its nice in a way to see WebGL take off. Sure this isn't the future of PC gaming, but it certainly can be a great opportunity for hobbyist and small publishers. It would be smart of Steam to support WebGL games to some degree.
