The truth is we're really not that close to fully-autonomous cars. Even Elon Musk's most ambitious projections for "autopilot" are a car that can drive itself 90 - 95% of the time but will require an alert, licensed dri

This is completely different. Usage of the API will translate directly to more rides on the platform and more $$ for Uber. The company will have every incentive to keep developers happy if apps are increasing ridership.

First of all, Facebook reported Q2 2014 results today, not first quarter. The OP is months old. Secondly, what's with this new HN trend of people submitting quarterly financial results of publicly traded tech companies. It is usually

Cool Idea. Wanted to add a tip but was required to sign up, so I didn't. If you're worried about spam you could just hide tips from non-members until some manual review process?

So, Apple acquires music streaming service lala.com in late 2009 for $80 million and shuts it down unceremoniously. Less than 5 years later pays $3 billion for Beats electronics, largely for their music streaming service.

Mr. Eich and others are completely free to act according their views on homosexuality, vis a vis their own sexual activities and the way they may choose to raise their families. Restricting the freedom of others is where their freedom to

Having personal beliefs is fine. Taking away the freedom of others is not. You don't have to back proposition 8 to believe homosexuality is immoral, just like you don't have to outlaw pork in order to keep kosher.

The original post's point was that conventional banks and credit cards offer consumer protection. Your response was that physical cash offers no consumer protection. So you either misunderstood or misrepresented the original point.

True, but that's substantially different than "much needed." I don't mean to quibble, but Tesla have also shown that they are not shy about dipping back into the markets for capital. Their last offering raised ~$1 billi
