Are you kidding. You might crib some code from the project, but I GUARANTEE you will strip out any code "that respects customer privacy and choice".

Right now, interoperability just means that more companies have direct, unfettered, access to whatever data is generated by the devices you purchased.

Yes, that IS the reason. We tried the 'free market solves all problems' for this exact thing. Before we came up with medallions and the rest of the taxi regulations, it is what we did.

It wasn't pretty.

We came up with the taxi system BECAUSE of it. We didn't just decide out of the blue to do it.

Uber is counting on you NOT bothering to find out why we came up with the taxi system to begin with.

I'm not claiming the current system is great, or even good, or works well. But it's better than what we WILL get going down Uber's path. Because we've already done it.

Stupid. Read up on something called "history". We already tried what Uber is doing, only without the "over the internet" part. It didn't work out so well.

"Airplane Coatings Help Recoup Fuel Efficiency Lost To Bug Splatter"

In today's lesson, we will discuss how the same things can have multiple, different uses, depending on the current context.

He's one of the few who really took it to heart.

Just waiting until someone at WSJ googles for funny stuff Siri says. They will be SHOCKED at how rude she can be.

You need to hire a bunch of people who self-identify as black and/or hispanic. I wonder if you still get federal subsidies if you self-identify as blind?

The service that is accessible to the occupants stops working. The vehicle itself continues to upload whatever data GM feels like receiving until the vehicle no longer functions.

and it's not a planet

No, it will be sooner and less random.

yes, then drink the potassium chloride, and have someone time how long it takes you to die. that time will be sufficiently random for our purposes.

It was just resting before continuing on with the main course...that much turkey will put anyone to sleep for awhile...

sure. just stepping onto the surface of mars makes you a full-fledged Martian, with voting rights and everything. They also have conscription, because they are about to invade Earth.
