I know there will be VB flames, but multi-year 10s of thousands of production code becomes #2 when idiots like Sinofsky delete the most popular programming language of its day to force you to rewrite/architect it in V0.0 of a new environment called.NET. The made sure I will never depend on Microsoft technology going forward. This is why they got overtaken.
Commissions are only good for short term goals. They will encourage immediate sales vs better long term sales. Say a project takes 2 years to get going with a 5 year ramp up make 100x over the lifetime of project verses a 1 year short project that makes 1x for two years. The commission guy will pick the short term return vs better long term. Same with the idiot MBA CEOs focusing on next quarter vs the next decade.
0.1 sec is too fast. It takes your eyes 50ms (aks.05 sec) to notice, then there would be reaction time > 100ms (0.1s). If the yellow is 0.1s then that is instantaneous and no one or car could stop that fast! DOT say yellow minimally should be on for 3 seconds!
Just got back from Iceland, pre-paid SIM / 3GB, unlimited local calls and texting was $18.14 US from Vodaphone. Similar to Siminn, Icelandic carrier, in cost.
My solar installer has put in both micro-inverters and series panels / big inverter. He collected years worth of data and the series panels and single inverter win by large margins, The back-diode and MPP inverter more than make up for single/multiple cell blockages. The continuous losses of the micro-inverters occur as they come online later and ending sooner as a group. I am amazed how dark it is outside and I still see 100W on my 22 panel system. There is enough bus voltage from the series panels to make power when the micro-inverters have gone to sleep for the night. All DC systems would or should use series connections to get the highest safe voltage possible.
I agree the RFI from micro-inverters has to be horrible. I am a ham and know that 100's of 40dB uV/m (Class B FCC limits at low frequencies) of noise generators added together amount to lots of RFI. Each inverter would need a serious inductor and capacitor low pass filter in a good RF sealed box to be affective, along with serious common mode chokes. You know they are only making them good enough to pass one inverter on RFI scan, so this would get the to the speced, not better (more money), RFI expected

If the bottleneck is at Netflix to the internet connection this would be true. If packets drop at the ISP fence because they cannot deliver them, then the problem is the ISP. I suspect Netflix watches where the packets drop and it isn't on their end. If they can send them they payed for them.
That in a nutshell is the definition of net neutrality.
My RIT co-op was at Xerox in the late 70's so I have first hand experience with the Alto. It was my personal computer at that time. I would vote Xerox Alto's word processor Bravo. The project manager at PARC, Charles Simonyi, went on to Microsoft to lead in the development of Macintosh Word and Excel. In 1985 Mac Word 1.0 was a pretty good clone of Bravo, right down to the command keys. The PC world would not see this tech until late 1995 when Word 95 was released with Windows 95. Given how many apps read/write/clone Word docs I would say this is the root app for word processing in a WYSWYG world. DOS Word was not even closely related except for the spelling of the program name "Word".
I am ignoring TEX, nroff and other text based apps due to their non-WYSWYG ways.
The Alto has a primitive version of a Draw called SIL. I used it to design circuits in this same period.
Xerox was way ahead on app and computing concepts. BTW, you would print your Bravo documents with a high resolution networked laser printer (384 dpi). Pretty cool stuff for the late 70's. The IBM PC/DOS set the state of the art back at least a decade or more.

Things like 1+1=2 can be true or false. Is that rock gray? Not so much, especially if near the black or white end of reflectence,
No black, Werner von White with GOP. Coal is "white" when it's clean coal. See fixed that for you!

At least they would feed the fish!
Perfectly legal if you meet 4 of 12 fuzzy criteria from the IRS. See the John Oliver show for recipe.

Fortran was my New York regents foreign language in 1976.
I guess these red states are only Pro-BIG-Business. I realize Ohio is a bit purple right now except for the law makers.
Xerox Pilot/Mesa. Ran this on Xerox 8010 in the early '80s. Simple version on Alto in the 1979. WIMP interface standard.
