Either way, I like the feature, it has be contemplating dropping my Comcast subscription or going off unlimited data. I'd need to hold out for the Play Store to be zero rated though.
From what I've seen (the EFF article) they throttle all video so that you pull lower bitrate streams. They advertise it as something like watch 4 times more video from sites not included. It's not really a terrible idea, the only time I think it'd be bothersome would be on a high bitrate video that won't lower its bitrate.
I have found that seeking in HTML5 videos over an hour is really slow, I am curious if that's somehow related.
It's obvious to me that they throttle tethers too, as it's listed as a perk for unlimited data users as to why they may want to Binge On (doesn't count against tethered data use, I can hotspot to my chromecast and drop cable).
As for throttling all video, even if it's being charged, that's quite shady IMO.
If she was truly not showing symptoms, I don't necissarily see that she should ever count as under the influence/intoxicated.
I (obviously) didn't read the article (just not that kinda site), but if zero symptoms mean no muscle control loss, no reaction time drop, I don't see a problem.
If it means presenting drunk, but not like anything approaching.04 (or.032 I guess) that's different.
If memory serves, double clicking the ribbon title where the menu items used to be collapses the ribbon.
I like some of the ribbon (context sensitive tool bar part), but don't like the difficulty to find infrequently used things (eg, setting print area in excel).
I wish they just did a context sensitive tool bar and a traditional menu.
Tmobile has rules that provider must follow to be included in Binge on, and it is neutral.
One can see that wiht the music services it started with just spotify, but now it is everybody. Tmobile specifically said that start-ups are welcome to follow the rules, do the low bandwidth, and be included. Additionally, they say that Youtube is working on it and will be included shortly.
I feel that this is fairly neutral, it's not about taking pay-outs, it's about meshing with the network in an affordable way.
It's not totally transparent that I've noted, but it sounds like they are essentially letting the companies shoot data into their network cost free, but if they want the end user to not pay, it must meet certain criteria (in addition, they aren't charging the sender for higher bandwidth access, but the recipient). This is exactly what Netflix wanted, and is (arguably) network neutral.
I'm surprised with software that's so inexpensive your customers go for the monthly, but where ijwork we went with the subscription creative suite.
It was 18 months before the subscription became more expensive than the upgrades (we had very old version).
With the subscription we never have high capital expenditure, we saved a lot on day one, and didn't spend extra for 18 months, and we're always up to date.
Six month repayment is a little silly though, especially when it was only $150 a seat.
It still takes a lot of luck (not lottery levels though) to get rich from anywhere but upper middle class. Even that is tricky, with good sensible planning even.
One can improve a 50-200 percent more than their start with hard work and planning relatively consistsntly, but to hit the order or two of magnitude needed to become rich is a different story.
Yes, I remember it as altavista.digital.com (remembering how to spell altavista was a pain), I'm actually surprised to find out it existed before Yahoo (even as a beta). I never really found what I was looking for in Yahoo (I do not remember it from before then, which probably means I did not have internet access, I would have guessed '94, but '95 must be right).
Either way, I never was able to get what I wanted in Yahoo. Didn't Mosaic also become Netscape Navigator (Mozilla being a Zilla added to Mosaic?)
Once AltaVista came about Yahoo was kinda useless, I actually had a preference for web crawler anyway. It was a web directory, so it catagorized sites, in therory making finding stuff that was of interest easier.
When web indexed became a thing, it was pretty useless for search, they then tried to become a homepage (which turns out nobody wants), and email after hotmail offered (their email client actually has a lot to offer, not better, but not worse than Gmail, just different).
I think they try to produce some content, aggregate some, etc. But they were always behind the trend. Late to email, late to web index (I don't think they ever had their own even), went the super ad route as Google was crushing he with text ads (they had a dominos ad with sound and full page animation of pizzas flipping over your page).
From what I can tell now they're an investment company, with Alibaba being the bulk of their value.
To be fair, economic studies seem to show that more experiance teaching is a very good proxy for quality of teaching (there are exceptions, just as incompentant people succeed in other fields too).
It is very hard to measure the quality of a teacher without tracking the success of a number of their classes over many years, and trying to adjust for the students themselves.
As for education, I agree, it's total BS, especially since, at least where I am, there's some terrible for profit schools that will up your degree level, and provide literally no value. I would think that a science teacher with a master's in the field they are teaching would provide some added value.
San Fransisco works that way too, and it's not !much of a premium. You get better cab service too, because they're still ranked. The cab industry (not the cabbies) destroyed themselves in the US. They were jerks to their customers, we hate them, and now they suffer.

Interesting.

Or you know, you could just turn off the Binge On option in your account page.

Soot at ground level darkens thinks and absorbs more heat than of it isn't there.

In addition, it is not what you or I find reasonable. The Constitution spells out that it is what the court decides those words mean.
The fact that this has been looked at and decided by the courts makes it constitutional.
What's crazy to me is this:
If I were trying to bring a weapon, I would definitely usenthe body scanner (or my bag).
The physical screening is far more likely to find something. A metal detector is too.
The imaging tech is very ineffective.

I don't disagree with anything you typed.
It still takes a lot of luck to get rich.
It takes both, and risk.

But even then, their search engine was just altavista with more ads if I'm not mistaken.
They completely missed the web index vs web directory shift, and were using their name only from a very early time.
And yes, X10, I still don't know what it is. , buI remember it. Some kind of home automation standard, but cameras were all that was advertised?

They created it because default search on a browser was worth lots of money.
They were paying mozilla, by taking part of mozilla's browser share, they save millions.
Also, they get to focus on the type of speed that they are programming websites to require.

With the old system, I was always a couple mpg off of advertised.
In the mid 00s they recalculated the formula in the US, and consistantly if matches or is beaten in every car I drive.
Not the same, Batman with a cricket bat is more like Casey Jones than Batman.
Aside from adding a fish before a taco to be dirty.
Both are useful for booty call prep conversation. You must offer to bring both tacos and condoms, thems the rules.
I'd like both a condom and a taco emoji.
They're both useful in the same sentance about a booty call even.
What I really want though is a bat, there's two fucking rabbits, but no bat.
I'd totally use condom and taco emoji.
Fine, my large town had shitty worthless can service, and with uber I now have better service than philly cabs in city limits.
The contrast is even stronger the more you minimize my town's size (murder town USA fwiw)
