Your comment about some systems needing access to get riders seems right on the nose.
A city like NYC where the majority of transit is via subway doesn't need wireless access. The culture accepts you'll be in a dead one when traveling.
A city where a large percentage of the transit is above ground (car or light rail) will need to have coverage for the short underground segments, or nobody will ride them.
In NYC it seems to depend on the carrier and the tunnel, but the tunnels definitely aren't all pure dead space from what I can tell in my travels.
I forget the lines now, but I had decent coverage on a couple N/S between Penn and City Hall (I rode 135, ACE, or NQZ depending on my mood and the weather).
I'm not sure it was supposed to instantly gain users.
It makes sense that it lost some with the extension breakage, but the goal is to stop or release the slow bleed.
I use it, and it's better, I'm less frustrated at it. The change of default search didn't effect me because it was an upgrade, but that is major, bing was so bad it made me angry about 1 in 5 searches (stupid things like not recognizing a search as for an address and requiring me to click the maps tab).
For the average user FF is now competitive in speed and has a functional search, this is big.
Unfortunately, the last remain FF users are power users, and they are most concerned about extension breakage, it will take a while for everything to settle out and see if it was a good move or not.
I had to strong arm them into not giving me basic cable.
It was $10/month less to take it. I told them they'd have to give me a bigger discount to store their box in my basement, as I'd inevitably lose it and owe money when I moved.
I don't want to waste TV stand space, and I don't want to waste an HDMI hole on their stupid box that has a terrible remote, terrible TV guide, and terrible lag when interacting.
They eventually gave me internet alone for the cheaper price.
It's be shocked if Comcast doesn't basically turn into an ISP, with access costing about $120, sure, they'll offer content subs, but it will be as a stand alone app that works on any internet. They'll ramp up internet costs (they already are in my area) to make up for lost revenue.
I will say that I prefer the Chromecast for the same reasons you don't like it.
Anyone in my house can cast whatever they want (except Amazon Prime) just by finding it on their phone and pressing a button. There is no remote to lose at all.
Play pause is available as an ongoing status on my phone (though controls beyond that generally require launching the app and reconnecting).
The killer feature to me for the Chromecast is that I and the people I know have remotes and don't need to browse an unfamiliar interface.
I would think it's for a jury to decide, I think a judge would allow a fair use defense, and a jury decide if the facts fit such a case.
My instinct would be that it violates fair use as it uses a substantial amount of the original (100%), can be used as a substitute for the original (to a point), the original permeates approaching 100% of the combined product, in the case of MST3k: it is a commercialized combining, and lastly, the original is a large percentage of the overall end product (80% of the screen and similar percent of the audio).
I would argue that it IS transformative, the some is significantly different in interest than the individual parts (though I'm sure someone would argue that transformative is about altering the content, not the "feel"), and it doesn't reduce the commercial viabilty of the original (for MST3k, for a live stream of UFC it likely does).
If someone was non commercially doing MST3k type commentary and posting it on a personal site with no ads, the fair use case would be much stronger.

Bitcoins aren't really fungible either.
If they were, you wouldn't risk getting kicked off coinbase for spending them in the wrong place.
That is objectively not true.
Not every listing has cameras disclosed, so your premise is false.
So, the likely tax cut is part of the multiple year trend?
I'm trying to follow.
And I'm sure England with get an apple office, but I'd bet pretty big they keep a bigger one in the EU.
So they don't publish U-8?
That's news to me.
Have taxes already been cut?
Rooftop solar doesn't need to be cheaper than grid production. It only needs to be cheaper than grid production + distribution + profit.
It's basically there for a lot of locations.
I don't even use those, simply having the case a few mm past the screen on all 4 sides makes the case much more effective.
Why is it that random people or companies can't throw you in a cage?
I think the curved screens are part of planned obsolescence, they make it impossible for a case to protect the phone adequately.
Being competitive isn't enough, not having hateful search isn't enough.
But it is, for the first time in years, meeting both of those criteria.
Maybe one day it will be better, maybe it will slowly die out, but for now at least, it is not definitively worse, that is a dramatic improvement.

Which city is your last paragraph about?
I have TMobile, not the best coverage, and they have coverage at 4g for at least a 30 Mike radius, and 3g for quite a distance.
I haven't really seen a gprs signal for a few years (3g or dead, no gprs).

We never had carbs I'm abundance though
I love tarintino but tend to agree. Nothing about this makes sense.
It may be interesting to see him completely outside of his wheelhouse though.

Yeah, 40 seems really low.

Oh, I'm sure someone will chime in with an excellent solution for keeping it up to date, don't worry.
Most likely just his gun
As a consumer, the first dick move was Amazon not supporting Chromecast.
They then said that they had to pull Chromecast because it was confusing to sell them when they weren't supported.
I will say that I prefer the Chromecast for the same reasons you don't like it.
Anyone in my house can cast whatever they want (except Amazon Prime) just by finding it on their phone and pressing a button. There is no remote to lose at all.
Play pause is available as an ongoing status on my phone (though controls beyond that generally require launching the app and reconnecting).
The killer feature to me for the Chromecast is that I and the people I know have remotes and don't need to browse an unfamiliar interface.
If Amazon puts prime on cast, I will benefit as a consumer though.
It's not a no win situation.

Because the ads are worth more if they know who you are (in theory).
