This doesn't seem feasible at all. Especially the overview shot of the underground network, like it's all open air. Definitely wouldn't be possible like that under a major city.
r/legaladvice or see a lawyer.
Re:How would you spend a $5k setup budget? on Friday April 28, 2017 @05:40PM (#14223286)
I'd scrap the MBP and get a 5K iMac instead with that amount. Personal opinion, though.

> Search was Google’s only unambiguous win, as well as its primary source of revenue, so when Amazon rapidly surpassed Google as the top product search destination, Google’s foundations began to falter.

This is the most annoying line though. Literally his own sources don't corroborate his assertion.

Also, it is in past tense. When the first source he links to is from 4Q 2016. Alphabet literally beat its earnings expectations yesterday.[0]

Do you understand how expensive it is to take a taxi that far? Or the fact that taxi/rental car companies usually don't like you going over state lines?
The title is based on the proposal of one shareholder who seems too concerned about this one topic, when regular shareholders like myself just want exactly what you said:

Apple obviously has their own policies and initiatives at work, so let them do their thing.

This is extremely interesting, I wonder what it would take to get this implemented in the United States?
Re:India has banned disposable plastic in Delhi on Tuesday February 14, 2017 @05:37PM (#13647938)
