This is a big concern of mine with driverless cars. Cars have been a means of freedom. I feel this had been eroded to some extent, but I can still take my car and drive it anywhere, free from government intervention, and tracking my whereabouts. In the near future, they'll just be able to pull up your ride share account.

Java and the client web were next to inseparable concepts at the time. Java ran their VM as a shared library in the browser process for applets.

Assuming a REST API is a non-enforceable contract for the sake of interoperability, it doesn't make sense for any party agreeing to it to "own" the contract itself, even if they were involved in writing it.

In EE blackboards were mostly replaced shortly before / while I was there a few years ago. Whiteboards are _vastly_ inferior for two reasons in my view:

1. Colours are harder to distinguish, or to see at all. Chalk is easy, even a brand new pen is difficult from more than a few rows back, possibly made worse by my colour blindness;

2. You can't go over an existing pen line. You can _sort of_ make it thicker (but typically remove part of it at the same time) but you can't draw a square and then go over one edge in red, for example.
Credit Repair
My name is Sam, over 14 months now I have been searching for a true repair man to help me with my credit, I got burned 3 times on 3 occasions by so called fake hackers. My report became worse and my score dropped to 362 then I gave up on everything. One evening my colleague who knows what I have been up to sent a message, telling me to email Alpha Credit on ALPHACREDITREPAIR@WORKMAIL.COM , about my credit then I asked her few questions about this guy and she told me good things about him and said I should give it a try though I was reluctant about everything because of my previous experience.Surprisingly,in just 72 hours my report became better in good shape as my score increased to 800 and all my negative items removed.I live comfortable right now,he changed my life.I'm happy,you could contact him through his mail now and get your problems solved
> It is unknown whether there are any differences in firmware for different countries/regions.

It is perfectly known that Huawei sells Chinese and Global editions of their phones. It's a pity there's so much vagueness when reporting that you can't even know which edition or firmware were they testing.

I think we'll be doing a service to ourselves by ignoring vague reporting about IT security and decide based on documented and repeatable reports.
Aside: I wonder if the rise of the so-called 'incels' sub-culture is more tightly linked to income or to housing. It may be worth while to investigate the self-professed 'incels' and their housing habits. If you are in one of these tenement style group bunks, I imagine that you'd have a much harder time meeting and 'interacting' with your preferred partners-to-be.
The Court of Appeals cited the Restatement of Torts (a treatise articulating general principles of common law) for the definition of trespass to chattels:

> In accordance with Jones, the threshold question is whether chalking constitutes common-law trespass upon a constitutionally protected area.Though Jonesdoes not provide clear boundaries for the meaning of common-law trespass, the Restatement offers some assistance. As defined by the Restatement, common-law trespass is “an act which brings [about] intended physical contact with a chattel in the possession of another.” Restatement (Second) of Torts § 217 cmt. e (1965). Moreover, “[a]n actor may . . . commit a trespass by so acting upon a chattel as intentionally to cause it to come in contact with some other object.” Id.Adopting this definition, there has been a trespass in this case because the City made intentional physical contact with Taylor’s vehicle. As the district court properly found, this physical intrusion, regardless of how slight, constitutes common-law trespass. This is so,even though “no damage [is done] at all.” Jones, 565 U.S. at 405 (quoting Entickv. Carrington,95 Eng. Rep. 807, 817 (C.P.1765))

The Restatement explains, in Section 218, that liability for trespass generally requires some sort of injury or deprivation of use. So you can't sue someone just for touching your car. But it also explains in Section 217 that the trespass itself can occur absent injury or dispossession, and that trespass can have legal significance even if it is not directly actionable.

Blockchain Could Disrupt Insurance
From the article: "Computer controls slightly delay the images from the front camera and stitch them together with side-mirror views to create a seamless real-time feed."

Seems like it just does an affine transformation on the image of the ground ahead as the car moves forward to fill in the missing parts of the image, with a time delay scaled inversely with the speed of the car. I wonder how (or if) it deals with non-static objects the car is driving over, such as moving water.

Degree success is not proven to be causative as opposed to a correlation. You get even stronger correlation to income from the colleges you apply to rather than graduate.
>since animal non-existence is "preferable" to animal suffering, the ethical choice is to euthanize / sterilize as many animals as possible.

The article isn't seriously suggesting to euthanize /sterilize as many animals as possible; I would suggest you reread it. It's using that as an example to point out the moral conundrum that vegetarians undertake when they become vegetarian rather than just "anti-factory farm".

Regardless, I don't claim to align with the article in its entirety - just the idea that animals which have much better lives than their wild counterparts are morally suitable for eating. But yes in continuation of this we should strive for the best lives possible for said animals.
> "Evolutionarily speaking"

When I use this term, I'm referring to the general theory of evolution, particularly in reference to survival of the fittest and natural selection. I'm also referring to the natural instincts that a lot of animals (and humans) tend to have, such as the instinct to save the life of their own offspring, even if it means putting their own lives at risk.

> And I don't mean this as snark, but has anyone looked at what kind of "good works" churches do for their local communities?

Well - some of them provide political platforms to inform their members who to vote for. I think the IRS looked into this at one point, though it didn't go that well [1].

[1]: To this day, it's claimed that it was partisan and targeted only one party, when in fact all non-profits were looked into; it was just that certain non-profits, which attracted members of mainly one party, were the ones mostly engaging in such practices. That party, of course, made sure the IRS didn't have somebody (by not confirming anyone to the position - which is still the same today) to look into this issue; without that person, the law has no teeth, and they can continue to (illegally) promote their own politicians, in violation of the law for non-profit organizations. But they claim "free speech" rights and "religious freedom" rights...

The Case for Empathy
Cool tech. A natural extension of the 360 view many luxury cars offer. I must however protest that I miss low hoodlines and narrow a-pillars that seem to rob half the view of the road in newer cars. I am convinced the huge wheel trend is just to visually offset the highwater beltlines endemic on modern cars. The back-up camera, blind-spot camera, and offroad cameras seem like nothing more than band-aids slapped over bad design. Its all down to (some) asinine regulations forcing cars to be the same. Which is why so few cars are made today. All sales are trucks, suv's, or 'crossovers' today, simply to dodge the regulations. Which helps nobody but fords f150 plant and oil companies.

Meanwhile in the actual consumer world; How easy are the lenses to access and clean? How cheap to replace when offroading? Seems like a good feature to check out on a leased british car. Even LR's biggest fans still bemoan parts prices, and availability after a few years. British electronics have come a long way but still suffer under the cursed memory of Lucas made wiring in wet climates.
This is already a theoretical risk with vote-by-mail systems, and in practice it is Not a Problem.

Oregon has had vote-by-mail for more than two decades; there are present-day voters who were born after Oregon dropped polling places entirely.

Vote coercion is not a concern, after 20 years of practical experience with the system. Neither is voter fraud (something like 54 fraudulent ballots cast, out of 2+ million, in 2016; the vast majority of those were people voting in Oregon and in another state.)

The benefit, however, comes in the form of increased turnout; no need to rush to a polling place on a day that's very likely not a holiday for you.

I wish everyone would switch to vote-by-mail the way Oregon does it.
Both the GPS and the chalking cases involved a government officer committing a physical trespass. Requiring you to affix a registration plate isn't remotely similar. So, while there might be a challenge available, the GPS and chalking cases don't really pace the way for it in any substantive new way.

How to Ace the Google Interview: Ultimate Guide
It reeks of rationalization. They don't want to admit to themselves that they got dealt a bad hand, so pretend that they own nothing and rent their entire life by choice.

It's like breaking someone's kneecaps, and they say they're in the wheelchair by choice, because walking is dangerous and inefficient, and knees are a horrible leg-joint design anyway.

They never had a choice, so they invent the illusion of choice by retroactively justifying that they would have chosen what they have now if they actually did have a different option that some might have considered to be objectively better.

I am well familiar with this. I consciously unwant the things that I want, but cannot afford, all the time. No, I don't need a car manufactured after 2010. No, I prefer to stay at home for my vacation. Eating out is for people who can't shop and cook. The current crop of movies in theaters seems pretty lame. I can wait another season for new tires. We can have strips of skirt steak instead of top sirloin. In fact, how about roaster chicken instead of beef?

It's bullshit that I shovel over myself, and I know it. If I had more money, I would definitely buy more and better stuff with it--to own and not rent.
But you have the right to waive your rights. I think they can say, you can park, but only under these conditions? I could be wrong and I’d love to know what the answer is.

I mean it’s like when you enter government buildings and they say “no firearms” despite the constitution.

Warrens premise is that college should be treated in the same manner as the public school system and be made free to all. Whilst her aims are noble, the economic rationale is weak and there are better ways of achieving the goals making higher education available to all whilst reducing the regressive impacts of the student loan debt.

Public school education serves two main purposes. It (hopefully) furnishes kids with the necessary foundations to be able to function in society and determine their own future. It also serves to keep kids safe and allow adults to get on with work. Both these function provide a large social benefit. This is precisely why the provision of primary education by the state should be free and compulsory. The external benefits are real and significant. They manifest as more productive parents, better informed citizens, higher social mobility, etc.

For higher education however the vast majority of benefits are captured by the individual through increased earnings potential. There are certainly some spillover benefits to society but not enough that society should completely shoulder the cost. Social mobility is an obvious concern here however higher education only needs to be free at the point of consumption to alleviate these concerns (as it is in the UK for example). If implemented correctly this should give everyone who wants to the opportunity to undertake higher learning whilst not introducing large amounts of moral hazard and free riding in to the system. There is simply little reason why tax payers should be required to fund everyone's degree (although a specific case could be made for subsidising certain degrees with a high social return). In fact, subsidising all degrees as Warren suggests leads to inefficient allocation given the mismatch between supply and demand for certain jobs (and a loss in productivity from people taking degrees they wouldn't otherwise have taken for jobs that may not be in large supply and where employment rather than further education might have led to better lifetime returns).

The solution proposed is appealing due to its simplicity but also fails on this account. What is needed is regulation which aligns the incentives of students, employers, colleges and lenders. College education should not be politicised and used a tool for redistribution. If it does then it will fail to serve its primary purpose as a market for producing the individuals with the skills required by society (a purpose it already struggles to achieve). Redistribution and consumer protection are obviously needed as in most markets and these should be strengthened through existing channels such as subsidies, loan forgiveness programmes, regulatory protection agencies, increased transparency, etc. The current system is certainly riddled with market failures but the what is being proposed is no better.
This is terrible advice.

So, my take: there are a lot of really powerful people who bought into the IPO, and so far there's been no "pop" to allow them to make a big profit. Somewhat the opposite, in fact. So, it's worth their while to somehow convince analysts to pump up Lyft, so that they can somehow push it above the IPO price.

I have, of course, no proof whatsoever. But it looks awfully suggestive.
