I never stay at a hotel expensive enough to charge for wifi.
The middle end ones (courtyard Marriott, Hilton garden, etc) all give free WiFi. They don't start charging until you move up to a real Marriot or Hilton.
I have found the Google prices the same as the travel site prices the same as the hotel's website every time I've searched (within a few percent one way or the other).
Google doesn't hide the other sites either, they let you book through them if you desire (it even shows you all of their prices in the results).
And of course people start with Google's flight and hotel search, it is significantly better than any of the other sites (includes Southwest flights, smarter warnings and notifications about when a slight change would alter price, quicker and less cluttered).
I kind of wanna see the prequel (which I assume will happen) where it shows how and why the Navi developed their biotech.
I agree that four movies seems crazy though.
Betting against Cameron similarly seems a bad idea based on history though. He is responsible for two movies in dramatically different genres that were the highest grossing movie of all time when they came out, along with the highest grossing R rated movie when it was released.
Even if his stuff isn't your thing, he has a knack for getting asses into seats.
I'm going with he didn't understand, as in my observation very few people intuitively grasp the difference or why it matters, and many struggle even when it's explained.
Various services have been in trouble over the years because their criteria that weren't race based skewed too heavily on race (for example car insurance with too granular an address based rate, or in the criminal system sentencing variation between crack and powder coke).
Even in my post I point out that criteria not involving the potential customers would likely pass muster.
Is the point of cash only to exclude the unbanked?
Do the unbanked in the area skew by race?
If those two things are determined to be true, this would likely be an example of racial exclusion (which legally doesn't need to be the intention, only the outcome of policy).
The flip side is that if safety of employees and speed of transactions can be demonstrated to be the reasons, it likely would stand as legal.
When I lived in Philadelphia, we had under 45 minutes/year of power outages, with the longest one lasting 30 minutes (then two very short ones).
In cities the grid is often very redundant and power outages are a rarity. Sure, you may lose a single lunch or dinner rush at a sandwich place over the course of a year, but it could still be worth it.
And it's not like wait times are never high in the US.
Trying to get a diagnosis and a procedure from a specialist can be a months long quest (it took my ex wife over six months of bear constant kidney infections before she got curative treatment, I've waited over six hours with a broken arm before an X-ray (that was a fluke though, and not typical, there was a kid that got hit by a car while in a go cart and a dirt bike race earlier that day).
People that I've seen complain about the waits in Canada (as a boogyman) tend to be young, and have never really needed medical care.
If they we're contemplating a second factory, but made due without, it's safe to assume they're doing alright on the deal (but probably not even close to half of the 22 billion).
I think poor crop yields (they mention growing season) makes the bad situation worse.
That makes sense to me, it's not the reason people are leaving, but it certainly can sway a few minds at the margins (they're talking low double digits percentages).
Don't they check your passport at security and/or the airline counter?
It's been a while since I've flown internationally, but I seem to remember needing to demonstrate I had a passport at least to the airline.
If TSA doesn't require a passport now, all they need to do is require a passport for international flights, then scan people when their ticket and passport is inspected at the security entry.
Don't scan any US citizens or domestic flights, done.
I don't know what the definition of "dive watch", but I always thought it was basically, waterproof deeper than you'll ever go, and has a rotary face for timing things.
I personally found it easier to at a glance always see the next gas station or restaurant and future density without having to do an extra search.
I don't think of it as an either or thing though, it was a simple and convenient feature that I liked. Between the two, I much prefer the ability to search and add a waypoint, but I'd still use the search layers if they we're available.
A networked, pcl/ps laser printer. A color one can be had for not too much now (don't know the specific, the one I use is black and white and was $200 ten or so years ago).
It should be good for a looooong time with no maintenance (5000 or so prints before toner runs out).
The extra money vs an ink jet will be well worth not needing to worry about drivers (for basic printing no drivers will be needed (or more accurately generic PCL will work)), no worrying about dead cartridges with months of non use. No worry about interface (I suspect Ethernet will remain backwards compatible for a long time).
The only caveat I'd give is that if you want to print photos or on heavier paper, an inkjet is a better solution.

Don't forget better cancelation policy and more likely to be upgraded as perks for booking through the hotel itself.

I think they we're using pretend numbers for Uber driving as income, and then leasing to people unqualified.

I'd be willing to bet the judge would actually give a $100 judgement to them and force them to accept cash then.
Probably stick them with fees for a bullshit case too.
This is more likely the test case.

I'm not sure I buy your argument.
Something like a broken arm is an emergency room visit, but really doesn't need an ambulance at all.
And it's not like wait times are never high in the US.

Why would a vandalized street sign be any worse with a self driving car vs a human?
Humans misread and miss street signs all of the time, self driving cars will need to be able to cope with the behavior already.
I has happy holidays Thanksgiving through new year.
If I know someone hates Thanksgiving and New year's day I tell them merry Christmas, also if it's the 24th or the 25th.
Desktop site does preview, then a chance to post or edit.
Mobile does not.

Probably more than sitting at McDonald's bored for 15
Agreed, I'd rather drive myself then wait an extra 15 minutes somewhere random.
Especially if you've been doing any type of day trading (which I suspect is a lot of Bitcoin).
You can be taxed on gains that you need actual cash to pay (if I buy at 1, sell at 2, buy at 1.50 and hold, I the on the 1 dollar in gains (I think)).
When the end of the year comes, one needs to sell some to cover that tax.
I think poor crop yields (they mention growing season) makes the bad situation worse.
That makes sense to me, it's not the reason people are leaving, but it certainly can sway a few minds at the margins (they're talking low double digits percentages).
It can increase instability too

Both of those are pretty useful.
Shouldn't a video be able to interpret enough 3d with a little motion?
