What did Uber in India do about it? Does it affect the prices that much and frequently?

With your income determined by the market, you can scale big, not limited just to your own 24 hours and two hands.

This. If other people asked you whether you can start a project or not, and you reply using "wife" as an excuse, accept it for what it is. An excuse. I had met entrepreneur types that replied either yes or no, straight forward and no detour replies.

I would like to upvote that comment many times. The price point for the deposit is important, why is this so hard to understand?

The reason it failed is because of this simple use case:

You want to return it just after you arrived, and it is still raining outside (this is why you rent an umbrella in the first place). If you wait for the sky to be clear to go out, you won't remember the umbrella. But if it is raining again when you go out, why would you want to return the umbrella???

I have a hunch that these kind of news had been circulated before, officials threw a few sacrificial lambs in to reach the quota, then the headlines fade slowly into background.

I think the cholesterol and salts will be bad for your health, no?

One workaround is that I hope that it can climb up and down slopes that lead to the raised beds.

Does it detect cliffs or edges and avoid falling down?

So a Minecraft for adults? Automated content generation?

I too was expecting meow purr audio content generation when I clicked into the link haha.

At last, we will have a truly random number generator! Not the simulated fake rand() using timestamps as seed.

Sooner or later the readers will find out the truth. But in the mean time before the market re-adjusts itself, he's raking in 10k per month.

I find this hard to believe, maybe on bank loans or something, but billions of funds transfer?

facepalm

Why was this not implemented widely? I mean not in source control systems like git or TFS, but built into OSes.

But developers and engineers should take the matter into their own hands and don't just bury their head in the sand and let the 'business' people decides their benefits and compensations.

It would serve them better if they can treat themselves as product and services providers in a free market. Band together and unite! Don't stab each other in the back for meager bones being thrown at you.

This. The same people that can be addicted to games may have the potential to be addicted to Chess in other time periods.

But they will be regarded as genius chess masters.

On the other hand, with our surplus of resources, its no wonder a percentage of our people can afford to do nothing but play games.

This is similar to how we moved away from depending wholly on newspapers, TV etc (old media monopolies) to Google, Youtube, Facebook (new media monopolies). Even though we can reach more audiences than ever before, 99% of it are being controlled by the Big Five.

From what I heard in Malaysia's Intel sites, IoT are used as reasons to open new departments or new turfs for some second class managers. No wonder it is missing the mark in what it is doing.
