My understanding was that you could have a button that could take the user outside of the app to pay (i.e. your website). So progress, but not this level of freedom yet.
I'm no expert, but from a quick Google search that looks to be twice the median income for a mechanic. If they can't find workers at that income level, it seems to me that they are either filtering based on another criteria (more than just trade school, as the article suggests) or Ford must be such an awful place to work that nobody applies.
I can appreciate the totally different perspective that must bring. I would also add that living in a car-centered society where you are expected to have a car presents its own set of challenges, namely that you can't afford to live near food sources (grocery stores, etc.) or jobs because it's expected that people drive to those things. For people in those situations struggling to make ends meet, I think they view their car more as a required liability they struggle to maintain rather than a privilege.
There's a difference between a small percentage needing something and a small percentage wanting something, though. If all wheelchair users could turn off their handicap at any time with no consequence, I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a wheelchair ramp anywhere.
This wasn't just Microsoft. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/22/technology/amazon-facial-...
Not saying it wasn't wrong pitch to DEA, but it seems strange that it's Microsoft being called out when, concretely, they were probably the earliest adopters of not selling due to human rights concerns https://www.reuters.com/article/us-microsoft-ai-idUSKCN1RS2F... https://blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issues/2018/12/06/facial-...
Oh, gotcha. Thanks!
What do you mean? The Japanese bullet train is maglev, and frankly I was under the assumption that almost all "bullet" trains need to use maglev to get those kinds of speeds.
there’s an open-source model for parsing Google Street View, classifying the car parked and making precinct-level predictions.
I tried searching for this but wasn't able to come up with anything. Does anybody know what this is referring to?

States already (and I believe always have) had different numbers of electoral votes, no?
Did you read the article? It's not saying that it's a soap opera because it's not a tech company, it's saying it because of the crazy family that runs it and the questionable financials around it.
Well I just tried this in my text-based browser on my Commodore 64 and it looks terrible
Even if you only develop for iOS at the start, the nice part of RN is the promise of simplified porting. So while the number of people targeting multiple platforms at the start may be low, the number who would consider it "on the roadmap" (or possibly on the roadmap depending on the app's success) is pretty high in my experience.
So Boeing produced a dynamically unstable airframe, the 737 Max. That is big strike No. 1. Boeing then tried to mask the 737’s dynamic instability with a software system. Big strike No. 2. Finally, the software relied on systems known for their propensity to fail .... Big strike No. 3.
The article definitely does partially blame engineering.
