I have a corporate issued iphone whose contract doesn't allow OTA updates. And the company doesn't allow phones on the wifi. So I've never updated it from the version 8-something it came with.
PS - Cree make lighting fixtures in the US labelled "Made in the U.S.A. of U.S. and imported parts". The "imported parts" bit I suspect refers to the LED subassembly.
Not many light bulbs are made in the US anymore. Since regular light bulbs were outlawed the chemicals needed to make CFLs and LEDs mean they have to be made in places with lax environmental regulation.
Shouldn't the level of quality be up to the customer?
So, require everyone to take the language test but not to "pass" it. Just let their Uber profile shows their score so potential riders can decide if they want to have to talk loudly and wave their arms a lot in exchange for a discount?
Can you explain how the CEO of Netflix is "peer reviewed literature" from today? Which article are all you people all responding to, exactly? None of it seems to have anything to do with me griping that "The recent rash of "oh noes, AI" predictions are dumber than back in the '70s when by now we're supposed to be in well into a major ice age."
Except it isn't. Click on the items in the long list of old newspaper articles in the references section: http://www.populartechnology.n... The ministry of truth did not alter and back-date all those old articles.
The main thing preventing significant price increases as you suggest is the threat of competition. Canadair and Embraer have more than enough expertise making good sized regional size planes to jump into the larger plane market if the prices go high enough to justify the development costs. Gulfstream, Bombardier, and Dassault are even more players who could cut in on the action for the right price increase.
A large part of the problem is likely consumers just not knowing about it and the carriers not enabling the chips to drive business to their subscription services. A proper efficient market requires accurate information on both sides of the transaction. Back when I had a Note 2 I hadn't even know it had come with an FM chip in it. After I found out I called Verizon to complain it wasn't enabled and their support in turn didn't even know anything except to tell me I need more data plan if I wanted to stream radio.
Buses that run on predictable routes and timetables ought to be electrified by overhead lines, as they are in Beijing since you mention China. I would hope the extra weight of batteries would be only for a tour bus or a commuter bus that serves a far flung suburb.
Auctions are not unrelated because show tickets are not a commodity. A certain ticket is for a certain seat for a certain show. Some shows may be general admission, but then a ticket is still reasonably distinct as it is for a certain show.
A few last minute concert-goers would have to privately buy from someone, but an auction format would mean that the first sale price would rapidly approach the true price and thus eliminate the scalpers' profits.
Are Samsung engineers just bad at battery design, or was there something more in play here?
It's in Tianjin. You may recall last fall a couple of warehouses exploded and killed 100 or so and injured who knows how many. Cause: inadequate material handling and storage. Apparently that just means the payments to safety inspectors went up.

OK, that's true for fishing and crops but the employer in question is a dairy. Are those not fairly steady the entire year?

PBS doesn't generally have advertisements during kid's shows... Sesame Street doesn't have ads.
Sesame Street is almost 100% product placement for Sesame Street licensed toys and other merchandise,

So when I said "not many" and you cite one manufacturer, how is that total BS?
He said after the contract was signed. Presumably all permits would have been worked out by that time.
Both getting a contract signed and permits approved are peanuts next to navigating any local union rules.

At the end of the day, I don't hear "how will this scale" all that much.
Yes, weathering. That is why casting in bronze is vastly superior to mere chiseling in stone.
No commercial airline flight is 24 hours. There used to be a 19 hour one for a Singapore to New York flight but that's no longer in service.
Like every other app on my phone doesn't do the same bullshit. Can't even buy tickets to UCF games or without a privacy eroding app these days.
This is why I use the phone's web browser to do that kind of thing and ignore the pop-ups crying "use our app!".

Encase in ceramic, drop into a deep subduction zone. Earth will recycle them over the next million years.
considering the state is in a drought half the time. If only there was a way to build a wall or something to hold the water until it was needed.
You forgot the part about: if only there was some way to move the excess water about 500 miles south to where the drought problem is centered.

In theory you can short an OTC but in practice it costs as much as just buying it and hoping.

I remember hearing stories like this before the dotcom crash.
The absolute best was one about a startup whose website could be used to change your screen resolution. It was a spoof, but totally brilliant.
