You know the score, pal. If your not cops your little people.

Maybe if you cover up all the EVO badging and take off the stock body work that differentiates it. It may not be that different but I can spot them (or BMW M series cars, or Audi R series cars) without much trouble. I'm sure a cop who spends all day driving around and pulling over cars would also get pretty good at it.

Thats great if you have a JC around but in my home town we did not, there wasn't really an option. You could always enroll in a class at community college but not all universities will take those courses for transfer either.

On the other hand, most any university would take a 5 on the AP exam.

though in order to enjoy protection one has to go into rehab. Maybe for this one would have to go to a gym or enroll in a weight loss program.

You are right, but the question is, where do you deal with that threading.... in some cases you would want it dealt with in work.c because you want it to be multi threaded on all platforms... if a task called is going to take a long time and block the UI on one platform it will do it on another.

Alternatively you could make that decision in the UI code but that would mean handling it on every platform.... now on the mac its pretty easy in Obj-C to dispatch a task to a thread, its probably easier than in C++ so maybe that makes it easiest to handle but then you have to turn around and do the same thing on every other platform you wish to support. I think that if you are supporting multiple platforms you would want your threading code to be in the shared code.... but its a design decision and it really does depend on your project and your needs.

not if you do a really shit job on the UI

Avid Media composer.... I know this, because I wrote parts of it myself, in QT.

To be fair, I think the intent is to put all energy into the grid and then pull energy out to melt the snow. You are absolutely right that it will take more energy to melt snow than these can produce so it would be a net loss of energy in the winter one would imagine. I don't know that you would make up for it in the summer either. You would save money not having snow plows so there is that, but that is likely nothing compared to the cost of these panels.

Maybe in warmer areas where snow is not an issue and where the days are longer and sunnier it might eventually be practical.

the problem being that how there are 2 sets of resources doing the same thing.... a shame really since neither one will probably be fully successful at paying down all the technical debt.

More than that I think this is a matter of not having the resources to deal with the codebase because OpenSSL just isn't all that sexy and man hours aren't just being thrown at that project. Much of the code that LibreSSL is removing was already tagged for removal but the man hours weren't there to take it out and throughly test the results. Now that all hell has broken loose more man hours are being thrown at it. Where were these awesome LibreSSL folks before the blowup? I'm sure plenty of people were aware that the code was a mess but now there is sufficient political capitol to get people moving to fix it.

Its the same problem that closed shops have... nobody want's to prioritize technical debt and code trimming especially when they are heavily resource constrained.

Luckily now that all hell has broken loose resources are being allocated and money is even flowing into the project.... hopefully this is good news but my guess is the resources dry up before the job is done and we end up with something that still has a lot of hidden problem and new ones will be layered on top of that.... this is pretty much how we roll in the world of software.

Are you telling us you can talk to fish! Thats really.... not that useful I guess...

I don't really care about MADD, their opinions would hold no weight if these were commonplace and any attempts to block them would expose their duplicity, they can't afford it.

I'm not sure why you think cops would be against it. Just because they would loose that income. They will find another way, or taxes will go up. Its not that hard to figure. The police will get funded and if their internal methods of funding are cut off they will simply be given more money, the cops will not be starved out by a tech like this.

The tips are generally shared amongst some of the staff.... that portion of the staff makes shit wage, minimum wage law doesn't apply to them. Waitstaff gets paid a few dollars an hour and need those tips to get by. Those who don't get a portion of the tip get paid at least minimum wage (and in many cases more than that)

That said, I would be ok with eliminating tipping culture but you can't just stop tipping given the way it is currently built not only into the culture but into the labor laws of this country.

The car will find parking on its own, it might even link into a network of other cars to locate the spot, it will likley do this on its own after you have been dropped off.

Why woudl you care what stall it uses to park, it will come pick you up when you need it. If it has a set of known parking spots to use you would program the location in, it might even home in on a beacon.

GPS already has allowances for finding banks and stores. Also I doubt that we would be entirely stuck with a GPS interface and not be able to say, simply ask it vocally to pull over at the store.

That these cars wouldn't exists and that all self driving cars would ever be was an autopilot to supplement a human driver?
