He's a billionaire and a TV star. Are you a billionaire and a TV star? No? Then you are not comparable to Trump. He's not an outsider. He's absolutely a member of the elite.

There was a story I saw a while back that the Rogue One director was saying Disney has (at least?) 4 restored. Gonna be a while though. Fox has distribution rights to 4 for forever and 5/6 until (IIRC) 2020.

> Why give employees big payouts, when they'll work just as hard for mere unsubstantiated promises of such payouts? That's why we should start teaching people that they won't get rich.

So sit and wait for a couple seconds for a spot to be open before you move across the intersection.
133.
by serge2k 10y ago
You are supposed to enter the intersection when turning left (then turn when safe), but not if there is no room to complete your turn in the target lane. The whole point is to not have people clogging the intersection and preventing movemen

I view it as evidence that their interviews are easily gamed. You cram in some algorithms knowledge and off you go.

by serge2k 10y ago
That graph is about the best evidence I've seen that interviews are garbage. Years of experience doesn't matter at all? Coursera courses are the best thing ever?

How is this a test of UBI? It's just a welfare system.

by serge2k 10y ago
I think a lot of people don't like doing it because it feels wrong to be in the intersection and turning on a red, assuming you get stuck and turn on the red. I got told by the instructor on my test to pull out into the intersection.

by serge2k 10y ago
It's what you are supposed to do. Pull in to the intersection and wait until you have a gap to turn. Other cars have the right of way, but are supposed to (yeah right) yield to you when the light turns yellow. Even if they don't y

> I could tell that the car was in self-driving mode because it didn't step into the intersection like humans would do - not even slightly. So it's a bad driver.

by serge2k 10y ago
Knowing how to drive and having insurance both sound like reasonable things for people to do, but we still mandate driver licensing and insurance.

Hey, I hate lawns too but if you must have one then it should probably be kept at a reasonable length. Of course watering it every day then cutting it in the summer (rather then just let it turn a bit brown and stop growing) is idiocy.
