    Americans Are Lining Up to Work for Amazon for $15 an Hour

    Sad that so many people are "lining up" for an UNSKILLED job. This says a lot about the state of our nation that so many people are uneducated or just want to do as little as possible.

    FCC Panel Suggests Taxing Business Internet Usage to Pay for Rural Broadband

    Why not just pass a law that states the internet provider in your territory, must provide broadband internet . If you request it and they do not provide it within 6 months, they get fined $500 a day after that until the service is connected. Boom, problem solved (mostly). No need for a tax. Let...

    Volvo and Luminar Show Off Cutting Edge Lidar

    Its been known since this video was released that the City Safe feature was inadvertently switched OFF instead of ON. This was back in 2010. Many advances since including a Pilot Assist Feature that works quite well on the newer SPA cars from Volvo. If there is one thing you can count on, is...

    If it hadn't been a multiplayer online only game, I would have bought it but with today's rampant cheating and foul language online, I'm just not interested. I like playing the games but just not always online.

    Vehicle Embedded Data Collection Helping The Repo Man

    It actually is pretty simple to disconnect these types of devices. I've worked in the car industry for 27 years and seen lots of ugliness but in most cases its WELL deserved.

    Waymo CEO on Fatal Uber Crash: Our Car Would Have Been Able to Handle It

    It was actually confirmed that the "City Safe" feature was disabled by the salesman instead of being enabled when this video was shot. That being said. Volvo's system works and works well. Is it 100% foolproof, NO. Is anything 100% foolproof, NO. Planes still crash, rockets still blow up and...
