Prejudice is an unfavorable opinion formed without knowledge, thought, or reason. The worsening air quality as a result of vehicular emissions in Delhi is very well documented and will have serious consequences if it is not dealt with seriously. It's not a matter of opinion.
Truckers are paid per mile and have a driving limit of 11 hours per day and 70 hours per week. Having an autopilot take over for part of the trip could substantially increase the ground they can cover in a day.
I did some work on a similar app a few years ago so I have some insight on the subject.
The magnetic strip varies by state but the PDF417 barcode is supposed to follow DL/ID Card Design Standard (CDS) as defined by the AAMVA.
Unfortunately, there isn't a national system for encoding the data as described in the specification and some states still maintain different fields than others. As a result, it's a real pain to try and use the standard without accounting for each state's unique set of quirks which tend to change from year to year.
I assume they've built a system to handle all of these unique cases and use some type of OCR to verify everything matches up with both the encoded barcode data as well as the Driver's License number which is partially derived from the demographic data. The facial image comparison is nice but it's not the most reliable test (especially when it depends on the phone's camera and a 2cm x 2cm photo.
Combining that process with a background check of some type will guarantee that the person actually exists but the whole system system can still be duped by a good enough fake ID if the data checks out.
I'm a bit surprised at the graphics they have shown so far. I originally saw a screenshot and assumed it was a mobile game rather than a full-fledged AAA title for the PC.
It depends on the municipality but the code usually requires an outlet every 18" to 24" on or above the countertop for small appliances so no, such a modification would not bring the installation up to code.
Unless the countertop near the corner has a depth of 18" or less, it would be very difficult to fulfill all requirements.
I don't understand this mentality. If Obama comes out as against Net Neutrality, it's him being evil. If he comes out in favor of it, he's lying.
I understand politicians often have ulterior motives but from the information provided, this is exactly what the majority of citizens were asking him (and the FCC) to do.
The title and content of this post seem to address vastly different subjects. Nowhere in the article does it attempt to address the task of "finding the right co-founders." I must admit, I was a bit let down...
It would seem that they are attempting to promote the use of their platforms for new startups in exchange for personalized feedback, networking, and free promotion. I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up funding some of the resultant projects down the road but currently it appears that they're just testing a new method of connecting their developer relations teams with promising startups.
While I agree that reinventing the wheel every time you start a new project is not an efficient method of development, I've grown to become weary of volatile APIs. A service which has only been operational for a short time and is under constant development means that my implementation may no longer be supported 6 months down the road if the service iterates significantly or worse yet, the company goes belly up. I understand this isn't going to happen to the likes of heroku overnight but unless there is an obvious, well supported api to use for a particular functionality, one should still take the time to consider the advantages and disadvantages of doing so.
