Gorilla glass is one of the strongest glasses, and what do you think apple is paying for?
FYI, I'm impressed by your children, my phones last 10 months top since the switch away from plastic for phones.
I buy Much cheaper phones for that reason though, I'm glad that the low end market ($180) gets me a very capable phone now (currently BLU life one X2 MINI).
they currently make in in the US, Japan, and Taiwan.
I can get point to put delivery of a single pair of sunglasses from China for $1.60 (glasses and shipping) , I'm pretty sure a 100,000 screens would approach free (per piece) to ship.
They're really smart too, still innovating (part of why we know the name gorilla glass at all, and we're many versions in and nobody can compete).
My girlfriend supplies them with rheology machines and says they're one of the smartest clients she has. Is always delighted to visit and talk to the purchasers.
My biggest concern is they make an apple only innovation and I don't get it on my phone, I'm not worried about then losing out though, they aren't a start up with all the eggs in the apple basket.
I wish I could buy an entire company to cut my commute by convincing others it would save problems.
I'm a little less cynical than you though, I think a network will be built, But it will have massive tolls and low throughput. It will solve the problem of traffic for the rich, and maybe along some routes for the doing very well and really want to save time right now. It will make money and provide a useful service, but not one for normal people.
I just don't see the throughput being enough to reduce traffic for the pleabs that can't afford it. Certainly lower throughput than a train.
Maybe if done over long distances, on a schedule, this (sleds) could be a way to split the difference between trains and cars and get some of the best of both, but it will never have the capacity of a Long Island rail road train (they're double decker and packed at times) and even they have congestion problems (different city, blah blah).
Introducing a lower capacity method of travel won't improve things very much, and I really suspect that this is lower capacity than even a medium capacity road.
Maybe I'm wrong though, maybe the sled can improve the capacity of a road by speeding things up, and people transitioning sled to still ground just as fast as driving normally, I could see it working if people weren't idiots, back stops for the tires come up, you put your car in neutral (where idiots would fuck it up) sled slows down and car coasts onto road where you shift to an appropriate gear/drive. Probably not good for the transmission or clutch, but definitely possible.
it seems pretty reasonable to me. A side airbag going off randomly is pretty disorienting (happened to me at a pothole once).
And if a warning light goes off saying the system is dead, it seems fine to me in all honesty. Not even a huge deal. Just a shorty car with a system that sucks, wouldn't be the first fiat like that.
Judges make rulings on sealed documents all of the time, until it's evidence for a determination of fact it can pretty readily be sealed.
Currently it's being looked at from the perspective of matters of law, not fact (I think, I'm not following it closely), unless this ruling is being used for setting future precedent, there's really no reason to show the evidence, the ruling will describe it well enough.
The two parties could still settle even, in which case it isn't really a court decision at all, kangaroo or not.
Zillow accounts for the interior to a point, as it recalibrates on past sales of a property (from what I can tell).
Now, a remodel since the last sale is ignored, but all of your other points still stand in that case. People look at what's available when they buy, and real estate actually functions as a decent market.
The person complaining probably has a shittier house than across the street of they can't sell it for the same price.
Home owners seem to completely over value their house on general.
To me this reads as a homeowner over valueing their home (I saw this a lot when shopping FSBO trying to save). The houses across the street are selling, this home owner is missing something about why theirs is not. They are blaming the zestimate instead. Just like when I was shopping, and people were comparing their house to slightly smaller but nicely remodeled homes to their old carpet sad kitchen ones.
If my friend is selling ways for strangers to contact me based on my insecurities and failures as a person, they're not a very good friend.
Note, I still use Google, I accept the price I pay for their service, but they are a useful acquaintance and not a friend.
Google uses all of my private information for profit, they also use it to help me (I love google now), but my friends only do the second, and I hope yours do too.
Tracking private info is less respect to privacy than duck duck go, but an amount I'm willing to trade for better results.
I see this as more about mitigating traffic in gridlocked areas.
A city like NYC can spend the money and make it back by increased capacity. What they are lacking though I'd expect is the space.
Cities like mine (and I'm assuming yours) wouldn't get near the benefit for it to be worth the money.
A 15 minute drive may drop to 10 with this in low traffic, 25/15 in high.
Also, I suspect that even in a city with gridlock and large pedestrian population you could improve efficiency for both cars and pedestrians by having periods of no cars alternated with no pedestrians and mesh cars.
It would improve walking as you could diagonal across saving a wait cycle. And pedestrians blocking turners have them even slowing flow in the direction they aren't crossing (unless it's an intersection that does an all red cycle for pedestrians already).
A pretty typical current cycle is:
Direction 1 left turns, no pedestrians Direction 1 cars and pedestrians (with turning cars slowed by pedestrians blocking cars behind them) Then the same for the cross direction.
You could turn this into all cars go All pedestrians go
The car times would have more than double normal throughput (both directions, no slow down on turns from pedestrians) The pedestrian times would have over double throughput too, as the percentage that need to cross diagonal would get two crossings out of a cycle.
The ADL said (unless it changed) that people were using Pepe for bad things, but that he was popular in general.
it said to use the context to make your determination. all the ADL was comment that he was being used as you were using him, but that he was not a hateful context free and to use your brain.
It was an accurate one paragraph description that would inform someone trying to figure out what this from in a storm trooper uniform was.

Sounds very scratchable

Probably not good for the transmission or clutch, but definitely possible.
His tunnels, as described are low volume though.
It will solve traffic for the rich, but make barely an impact for anyone else.
at least as I gather from the idea of the sled stopping and elevatering up.
Even without the elevator, I'm not convinced sled to still ground capacity can match road capacity (the sled has to stop at both ends of the tunnel).

My dad had the vinyl, I don't know if he still does.
There was a CD where it wasn't a functioning zipper, but it was a folding flap of cardstock (or maybe I'm inventing that as a false memory).
also, if it takes double the capital to create competition, a regulated market could be both less expensive and more profitable.
Functioning zipper was my favorite album novelty.
Currently there isn't even a trial I think.

facebook is harder to replace, as it already has the users.
Are you saying zillow is being subjective?
I assume they are fully objectively comparing houses, and that's why they fail accuracy. The objective measures fail.
Zillow accounts for the interior to a point, as it recalibrates on past sales of a property (from what I can tell).
Now, a remodel since the last sale is ignored, but all of your other points still stand in that case. People look at what's available when they buy, and real estate actually functions as a decent market.
The person complaining probably has a shittier house than across the street of they can't sell it for the same price.
Home owners seem to completely over value their house on general.
When I file taxes, it's through a website too.
Does that make it legal to alter them for my favor?
I mean they make me promise I'm telling the truth when I do my taxes, but so does zillow when I take ownership.
Smarter to admit it's fraud, but untraceable, and you only made it more accurate (aside from the square footage).
To me this reads as a homeowner over valueing their home (I saw this a lot when shopping FSBO trying to save). The houses across the street are selling, this home owner is missing something about why theirs is not. They are blaming the zestimate instead. Just like when I was shopping, and people were comparing their house to slightly smaller but nicely remodeled homes to their old carpet sad kitchen ones.
There's also insurance issues.
Apartments that totally ban smoking get discounts on it, since they've banned a major source of fires.
Smoking bans are generally market based, not law based.

It's probably impossible to beat google while respecting privacy.
Just as lack of privacy helps them match the ads you're most likely to respond to to you, it helps them match the results.
Many cities are primarily one way roads anyway.
Additionally, if it speeds things up dramatically, all rights around the block would still be an improvement
How bad is the traffic there?
I see this as more about mitigating traffic in gridlocked areas.
A city like NYC can spend the money and make it back by increased capacity. What they are lacking though I'd expect is the space.
Cities like mine (and I'm assuming yours) wouldn't get near the benefit for it to be worth the money.

All pedestrians go

The pedestrian times would have over double throughput too, as the percentage that need to cross diagonal would get two crossings out of a cycle.
it clarifies that because Pepe is popular, all types use Pepe.
https://www.adl.org/education/...
The ADL said (unless it changed) that people were using Pepe for bad things, but that he was popular in general.
it said to use the context to make your determination. all the ADL was comment that he was being used as you were using him, but that he was not a hateful context free and to use your brain.
It was an accurate one paragraph description that would inform someone trying to figure out what this from in a storm trooper uniform was.
I thought the point of cloud hosting is that you can spin up for these surges without paying for that capacity continually.
To my knowledge, they've never walked back from offers.
I've been a customer for over ten years now, and for the majority of the time, I've been on plans not offered at the time.
