For what it's worth, the majority of the money in VC funds comes not from super-wealthy individuals (although family offices are in there), but from institutional investors like pension funds and endowments which make money for a much broader group of people.
Keep in mind that a big reasons we managed to wire up the whole country with electric, phone, and cable is that we gave those companies local monopolies on delivery of power, telecom, and TV.
If you were to offer Google a monopoly on Internet access in an area, it would appear profitable VERY quickly.
The real isn't isn't who owns the car or the software, it's the always-connected online services that will be required for autonomous operation.
The ride sharing limitations will almost certainly be covered under the TOS for those services. If you don't agree, the car is still yours but they can cut your services access at any time.
The good news is that competition will eventually solve this problem. Tesla is far from having a monopoly on self driving cars.
It's a tar file. Instructions for downloading the logs manually here:
Did anyone else read that head line and think "hey, I didn't realize that Tesla had a Factory Racing team, those races would be fun to watch"....
Stanford had a good approach to this, at least when I went there (probably still do).
The intro-CS courses were offered in two parts (CS106A/B) or a single accelerated course (CS106X), with the requirement that students taking the accelerated course have previous programming experience.
All students end up covering the same material (which is important, since high school instruction varies greatly in quality), but you don't have half the class getting bored and the other half lost at the same time.
The really amazing thing is that if you look at their service dashboard, it took them 12 hours to update the certificates on their site:

They spent several hours doing "test deployments"
Looking at the first picture in the article, I thought they did an amazing job - even the geography was a match to what I remembered. Then I realized that was just a stock photo of the real Hallstatt.
The other pictures tell the real story. It's about as authentic as their Loius Wuitton purses or iFone knockoffs. The scenery around the location is also a poor imitation of the original.
If all other things get their mass from the Higgs Boson, where does the Higgs boson get its mass from?
You mean this one?

The only real way to learn a programming language is to use it in a real project. Come up with something you've always wanted but can't find and make it happen. That's the great thing about programming. You'll learn more doing that than you ever will from a book.

You're in luck! Jungle Disk 3.0 was released this week, with Sync support (for Windows, Mac, and Linux).
http://blog.jungledisk.com/2009/11/17/jungle-disk-launches-an-all-new-product-lineup/
Since you're already a Jungle Disk customer, the upgrade is free. Jungle Disk 3.0 also has a new backup engine that does block-level de-duplication and compression, making it by far the most efficient method for doing online backup.
