Care act. Is that a fair criticism . I think in part it is and in part it isnt. Im not sure that it is the dissents right to say that the court had to strain to create ambiguity here anymore than it does in a range of cases that get far less attention. Is it more of a strain to find ambiguity than it did in yates . That im skeptical. Other than the intensity of the spotlight im not sure the court had to work harder to find ambiguity than in any number of cases where it resolves hard questions.

And it was taking her months and monthses and months to do. Google went out and hired someone named jeff dean and this sort of shocked the industry because jeff dean is a superstar. Hes really known for being one of the best coders on the planet. And he did the project that meyer had been work on in a matter of weeks. And mayer, you know, to her credit sort of looked at this and said is, you know, she loved working at google and she said im not going to make my mark at this company by being a coder. Is so she said what else can i do. So she sort of threw herself at whatever problems the company had. You know she actually got involved in pr and marketing and all sorts of strange thing

The federal government can be a key player in helping to advance and utilize the developing technologies. Lets take a look at safety. While trafficrelated fatalities injuries continue to decline, over 30,000 people each year still die on our highways. We continue to see trains that derail too frequently.

Our country has already invested billions in interstate highways, bridges, rails and ports. Technology can help us to get more out of what weve already built.
