The bigger problem is that the slashvertisement has almost as much information as the linked page, most of it word-for-word.
Where's the link for modding our old consoles?
Ah well, back to emulating everything...
FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON, WITH ZERO PROVOCATION..
...for what appeared to me to be without reason or provocation.
His reason might have sucked, but this idea that he was bored and just wanted to fuck around and pull his gun on some dude in the dark is nuts.
Dash cams in most/many/some police cars work when the officer engages his lights or sirens, passes a certain speed threshold, etc.
It's my firm belief that the men and women serving in our police force should, for example, be allowed to pee, eat a sandwich, or talk to their partner about how bad their mortgage company is without being recorded -- but at the same time, it's my firm belief that their enforcement should be documented.
Start by expanding the dashcam FOV and expand the triggers for dashcam recording to include a period of time after the opening and closing of the doors.
How to let officers pee without also letting them turn off cameras at every "inconvenient" time presents a challenge...
The only thing useful about it is you don't have to memorize as much and the math is easier. BFD. Here is a chart for you.
...that and being inter-operable with the rest of the planet.
Concur. I ran through all sorts of possibilities in my head. Is this a DNLA server? Does it record TV?
Well, for starters, you'd need to be a temp contractor working for TargetCW, and then you'd have to run away with the phone and credit card your employer provided you with for doing your job.
Except, it's clear they have an intention of using the service.
They want to use their bought-and-paid-for ride as an opportunity to proselytize a captive audience.
1 - Book ride,
2 - During ride to follow script for conversion of driver from Lyft to Uber.
3 - If in a busy taxi market, wait a few minutes before booking a new ride to avoid getting the same driver.
4 - Else use Uber to get a ride to a new part of town.
5 - Repeat.
Burner phones are required if the driver in step 2 rats them out as "bad passengers."
As long as I'm getting a ride and paying for it, I'm imagine I'm also free to try to proselytize.
But I can certainly see the other side of it.
The use of burner phones and supplied credit cards simply seems to be an anti-detection tactic.
The documents posted on TheVerge seem to boil down to, "Book a ride on Lyft, and use that ride as an opportunity to preach switching to Uber while you have a captive audience."
The documents posted only mention having to cancel if you get the same driver responding to you after you've attempted to proselytize them already -- and suggest you should use Uber to move about town so that happens infrequently.
Doesn't seem much worse than giving a Jehovah's Witness a ride.
The transcript reads like a conversation between two guys with almost nothing to say. I'm honestly not sure what my takeaway from this should have been. Guy was a working programmer for 30 years (unemployed for the last 12+), and now he's...
Help me understand what I missed.
No, of course not. However, in America, HR runs the company, so there's no way around this idiocy.
It's worked fine for me for 16 years (mine was the very first model, not the later touchscreen models), except for the big mold issue (which after a couple years they did a factory recall and sent a technician to my place to install a bunch of new, redesigned parts in the door and front area), and the water pump failed a couple years ago which I replaced myself. There haven't been any electronic issues. I have read of some people having problems with the wax motor (the thing that controls the door locking) control circuit.
It can be very hard to get a new programming job if you haven't been doing it for a while. It doesn't matter how competent you are or if the language hasn't changed in 20 years. Many companies outright refuse to interview someone if they've been unemployed for more than 6 months.
You want a surgeon working on you who isn't passionate about medicine, and just wants to put in his 8 hours and go home?
So how do the Europeans do it? Just look at how cheap and high-quality cellphone and ISP service are in western European countries. Government regulation seems to work pretty decently over there.
