   I live in a city with Car2Go and this use case is covered by the ability to make stops on a trip. You just pay for the time that the car is reserved to you. I see no reason that a self driving vehicle couldn't offer a similar option.

   Right, Shaw, Telus, SaskTel, MTS (soon to be Bell), and TBayTel are the players west of Sault St Marie. Cogeco, Rogers, Bell, and Videotron get the majority of Ontario and Quebec. Eastlink, Rogers, and Bell Aliant get the Atlantic provinces

   Re 2: I know they dominate the cell phone market, but that can't be accurate. Shaw, Eastlink and Videotron have massive marketshare in their respective regions.

   What happens if an applicant doesn't supply them ? How do you deal with people who don't have accounts or don't use those services? Are you worried that you maybe missing out on candidates who don't participate in these

   I'm curious how you go about this. I can't imagine handing out my screenname to an employer. What kind of criteria do you look for in comments?

   I'd imagine it would be incredibly difficult to get that kind of regulation without all the other existing manufacturers having the same incentives to support it.

   I get this too. The second I close the zipper on my suitcase I start to feel anxious until I'm in the skyway. I wonder if missing a flight would cure it

   Is $500,000 a common benchmark? A couple of quick searches seemed to show $100-300K for tech companies with a $1 billion valuation. My current employer has something like 315 employees, and while I'm not privy to their financials or ou

   The attitude of the FBI towards diplomacy portrayed in the story is pretty alarming. I generally have a positive view on the Obama administration, but their pursuit of "leaks" post Wikileaks & Snowden is deeply upsetting to me

    Technically it's owned by The Weather Company which in turn is owned by IBM. The TV channel is now a separate entity. I still find their forecasts to be more reliable and the user weather station data is great

    I had a similar situation, and also ended up getting stuck going through a ton of "interviews" until I got Nexus. It's proved to be a major time saver, even just for domestic flights. Among the most useful $50 purchases I&#x2

    Nothing really. I think that providing a general ethics lesson then combining it with industry specific examples helps give people a more complete understanding of what these conflicts look like.

    That looks way more powerful than what Chrome is doing. I'll give it a try. Thanks for the suggestion

    If they could just add a decent profile management option, I would switch back from Chrome. Keeping my work and personal accounts separated is the only thing keeping me using that battery killer

    I think like with a lot of technology it isn't the novelty, but the scale. Operating a printing press and physically distributing false items is much harder than posting a tweet and letting it go viral.

    I too have always found their products to be very high quality for the price point. I trust them more than a brand like Belkin. I once heard that Anker was started by a bunch of ex-Googlers, does anyone know if that's true??

    I'll take another look. One of the things I miss most about Rdio was an option to pick how "adventurous" I wanted my personalized playlists to be, so that favorites option would be a nice switch from the Discover Weekly model

    I wonder how many of these 40M users are like me and are searching for other options. I'm using Spotify because of an intro offer, and my Google Play account exists almost solely for the discount on other content. Both have enough anno

    And besides, they just closed the venerable Microsoft Research Silicon Valley, so it's not that they are putting their money where their mouth is. That was almost 2 years ago and it doesn't seem like it had much of an impact on

    The variable pricing is pretty interesting. In one session I got $1, $3 and $5, while another gave $5, $12, and $20. $5 felt like a good deal considering what I pay annually for Grammarly. I'd be curious what their average is.

    I think the whole Apple car rumor is analysts trying to come up with a conceivable way they could spend a large portion of their reserves.

    You'd think but even historically that's been pretty rare. It's so family focused that a large amount of content isn't appropriate for their audience. I thought Freeform (formerly ABC Family) was going to get some of it,

    Isn't it an underlying principle? It's meant to prevent detainment without proof of guilt. Otherwise, people could be held indefinitely for no reason. Now obviously there is a gray area between "hey we can't hold on to a

    Is that true? I've always heard that Terry allows officers to stop you, and ask questions under reasonable suspicion, but that performing pat downs and handcuffing is only allowed if there is a reasonable suspicion that the suspect is

    I'd argue that detainment without probable cause is kind of the underlying message of "Innocent until proven guilty"

    Noted, but I was more looking at the size of the Boeing and Airbus facilities. (Hoping my math is right) At 5.8 million sq ft it should have a footprint of 540,000 m^2, which would top that list.
