This is why I stick with TWC (even though Google Fiber is available in my area). They're still dumb enough to let me either a.) set their provided router into bridged mode, or b.) (what I do) provide your own device.
This is a real-world application for the math, and being able to see how the math actually does something in real life makes it a lot more fun to learn it.
I couldn't agree more. This is why I did much better in physics than I did in math, where a lot of the algebra was the same. Plugging in real-world values into the formulas and working them out was much more exciting to me because I was dealing with values relating to actual real-world things.
I've been running witht his setup for about a year with excellent results. Although, if I had to do it over, I would go with a discrete 802.11ac AP instead of running it on the router, as Linux wireless support for master (AP) mode is pretty shitty.
I second this. I did a lot of research into embedded x86 systems, specifically to act as a router/AP and ended up with the PCengines APU running Voyage Linux (I originally wanted the Soekris net6501, but they're just too damn expensive for what I was looking for). I upgraded from a previous PCengines system (ALIX). The ALIX was great, but it couldn't keep up with my 100 Mbit connection...the APU handles it with no problems.
I paired it with an Atheros-based (ath10k) mini PCIe wireless adapter and it acts as my 802.11ac AP (running hostapd). However, if I were to do it again, I wouldn't combine AP functionality into my firewall/router, and would instead make it a discrete device. Speaking of, once I got the APU to replace my old ALIX system, I turned the ALIX into a discrete AP to handle my 2.4 GHz-only devices (it has an ath9k-based wireless adapter). Simply bridge all ethernet ports together with the wireless interface & it's idiot proof.
However, where I live, taxis -- in addition to being properly licensed and insured -- must also have a camera in their vehicle.
But there is a camera in their vehicle, and usually at least two (the driver and passengers' phones). The driver and passenger both need a smartphone in order for Uber (and I presume Lyft) to work.
Now, it's true that there's currently nothing in place requiring the drivers camera to be available and recording when they're on the clock, but that's nothing a software update couldn't fix.
Holy shit that's a great idea! I loved playing with marble runs when I was a kid. I think they fueled my interest in trains and other discrete logical constructs, which eventually led to my interest in programming.
Nowadays, they're pretty much equal. Years ago that didn't used to be the case. APT used to have far more packages available in the default repositories as compared to YUM, and used to perform quite a bit better. At some point YUM switched to using sqlite to store it's metadata which improved performance quite a bit, and the availability of the EPEL repository greatly increased the number of packages available to be on par with APT.

....it's not going to happen!

Or just don't rent a modem from your ISP
That's not always an option: see: AT&T U-Verse and Google Fiber

tl;dr: PCengines makes good shit
Because by default, MySQL does a bunch of stupid shit with your data?

Mod this guy up. Finally, somebody who knows what they're talking about.
Rubbish...Apple's whole business model hinges on this idea.
I hate to laugh at potty humor...
What, too good for a shitty joke?

How does it compare to yum in Fedora and CentOS?

Why the excuse? "No!" should be sufficient. As I do not work for that company anymore, that isn't unreasonable.
Because they paid you to be available? If you didn't like it, don't take the money.
Most newer high-end laptops have 3-stream 802.11ac, like the MBP I'm typing this on.

Well, assuming they're German engineers, it's not that far fetched that they're not up-to-date on their emissions laws of the US.
Computer gaming. If they take an interest to it, the rest will come naturally.
Fuckin 'eh mang
So..my Mac is light and the battery lasts all day.

They could make using such technologies illegal. That sure as shit would scare a lot of businesses from using them right there.
