Mothers, pregnant, with children and elderly relatives. They don't have to crouch down to get into a car, limbo dance into the back seats through the narrow shaped gaps.
This, so many times. So much easier to get a baby into a carrier seat when you're not half bent over. I prefer my little sports sedan for actual driving though.
Thankfully not a problem any more. The days of the Dodge Caravan are long behind us. A 350Z convertible and Mazda 5 get us around these days.
I didn't RTFA, but I wonder if this app is a way to shoehorn in RCS (which is a 'rich content' version of SMS)?
All part of the sudden urge by telcos to stay relevant - Whatsapp/Telegram/Instagram/Snapchat - all of them have hugely eaten their lunch for a long time. I'd imagine they'll continue to do so for a long time too, but time will tell.
Yes it is, as are most 'service' protocol added to the cell phone protocols. While users tend to want the wireless to just carry IP well and leave the services to run on top of that.
Do you miss WiMax yet? An 802 protocol with the same service model as 802.3 and 802.11.
Guilty as charged. I think it's time for some serious anti-trust action in Federal court.
Nope. It's messaging on the cell phone signalling protocols, just like SMS. This is different to an application running on the top.
When you are defining such protocols, the governments of the world require "Lawful Access" laws to be adhered to. When we were working on WiMax, the FBI turned up to the meetings to discuss the LA features in the protocol.
This is why you do secure messaging from and app, over IP.
SMS and it's brethren will never be secure and there's nothing Google or anyone else can do about it, without a major change of behavior on the part of governments.
>The Apple crowd is not terribly worried about the headphone jack for the most part.
Well I use Apple products and I do care about the headphone jack. My iPhone 8 plus is my last iPhone and when I replace it, it will be with a phone with a headphone jack.
Your happiness is your goal. Weird deal breaker to me - but hey, some people were really pissed aabout rounded corners. Android will make you happy and all will be well.
I don't know about happy, but at least I can plug my headphones in on a plane, without rummaging for adapters.
protip: leave the adapter on your headphone.
It doesn't plug into my laptop with the adapter on. I keep the adapter in my headphones case so it's there when I need it, but I don't want to have to.
The epitome of a first world problem you have here.
Yep. I live in the first world. These issues only apply to my first world cell phone purchasing decisions. Which was exactly the topic. I have other concerns in life that are of greater importance.

>or do you mean that you tried going without a headphone jack and are now so mad at Apple for dropping it that you won't ever buy their products again?
That. Well the phones. Their laptops are still fine.

This is the downside of economy plus - Not far enough ahead in the cabin to be in business class and ahead of the engines. Not far enough back to be behind the engines. You're right in line.
Technically, you have, *on average*, a lower chance of dying on an airplane if you are sitting in the back of the cabin and middle of the row.
Keep that in mind when you get that middle seat against the toilet in the back.
I'm usually in business class. I travel a lot. So maybe I'll go down in flames one day.
This isn't about selling to consumers like Walmart does. Amazon couldn't compete with the companies that have been selling in bulk to hospitals for many, many years.
Which is a shame. Having the doc E-sign a prescription and the meds automagically popping up in my Amazon cart and auto charged against my HSA with prime shipping would be several billion times better than schlepping to Walgreens and waiting while they force you to spend 20 minutes in their store in the hope you buy something.

I've traveled a lot and every single plane that developed a serious mechanical problem while I was in it, was a Boeing. The Airbuses, Embaerers and others have all been fine.
Exactly, and we can't answer this part of it. It appears to be true, but nobody knows the mechanism or whether there are non-Bell variables.
The multidimensional quasi crystal stuff pushed by Klee Irwin is interesting, because it points to a possibly deterministic result.
If that panned out I would be happy, because the opinion I've expressed here before would then be proven true: Ignorance is as good as non determinism when it comes to the use of random numbers in cryptography.
OR.. more likely, from one of the few factories that make all the screens for all the large smartphones and are all pretty much the same in quality because they're going through the same processes in the same factories using the same equipment.

We are on our second Mazda 5 van. Superb vehicle for van-like use. That must be why they stopped selling them in the USA.
I've owned Maza MX5s in the USA and the UK and the one in the UK was simply better. Something to do with differences in the suspension and gearing.
All vehicles sold in the USA have to be crap. It's a rule.
>The market considers Tesla to be the "largest" U.S. automaker based on the valuation of the stock.
It might be more that the market considers Tesla to be the automaker with the highest growth potential.

Yes there are. Common web password authentication is not one of them. Blame the browser vendors.

requires a major change of behavior on the part of the voters. Otherwise, forget about it.
Not when the guy with fewer votes wins.

Landlines work in a lot of cases where the power's down, at least in the States. Not sure about UK.
That's why VOIP and Radio Local Loop hardware for standard telephone service in the UK includes a battery.

I'm not claiming my experience is a statistically valid sample. Just sharing my experience.
But I did live half my life in Europe and the other half in the US.
If I had been in one of those situations, I wouldn't be posting..
From my perspective, it's a 737.
On a Southwest 737, you can pay more and get on first. Thus getting your choice of seats.

Chase has not provided me with a pin for my Chase Sapphire Preferred credit card. I have to sign.
There really isn't an excuse for not requiring pin authentication for a card present PoS credit card transaction.
