Smartphone 5G is of little use to anyone that doesn't live in a density populated area where airwaves congestion is a real issue.
The networks should be subsidizing 5G radio's, it is a technology that mainly benefits them by getting the most bang with the least amount of frequency space
That doesn't make much sense. Without that information there would be no reason for "heading to the exits" and once the information was released you would have been free to panic-sell with the rest of the market
The difference between supplements and medication is that the former is not required to undergo clinical trials. Clinical trails are important because not only they prove that the medication actually works but they are also used to establish dosage recommendations. Dosage is very important because too little might not have any effect and too much might cause too many unwanted side-effects, The minimum-effective dose is what you want to give to patients, especially those intended for long-term use
The federal government requires them to lease network elements and service at pre-determined prices, set by government, without regard for the actual cost of the element.
This is absolutely false. The federal government does not set "pre-determined" prices. They are simply required to set reasonable, and non-discriminatory prices, typically known as RAND terms. In reality some of the largest MVNO's are actually owned by the Telco's themselves. MetroPCS is owned by Tmobile, Cricket is owned by ATT, Boost and Virgin are owned by Sprint
It is not so much the mistrust in authority figures in the FDA, CDC, or medical community. It is a belief that the Corporations producing the vaccines are lying and misleading not only laypeople but doctors and authorities as well. The role pharmaceutical companies played in the opioid epidemic is a glaring example of corporate profit-seeking and the failings of the system that is supposed to protect the public. Trust is in the system is badly eroded and stronger regulations and a stringent verification are needed to restore that trust
Google's obsession with tying all their products together has been the death-kneel of many of their projects. For the most part people are just not interested in the all-encompassing approach. Facebook has been much smarter in letting multiple products appear to be seperate even when they offer some of the same functionality, facebook messanger, whatsapp, instagram and run on the same underlying platform
computers are not "single purpose" devices and can be used many different ways. Without categorizing the type of use the term "screen time" is meanningless.
Passive video entertainment. For the most part this can be counted as TV time.
Social media. Like it or not "social media" has become a major part of socializing, especially for young adults.
active entertainment. Gaming scores higher in my book then TV time, especially creative or problem solving games.
learning. instructional websites, interest based communities and some youtube channels.
These are just a few categories of the many possible uses of "screen time"
I can see how this could be useful to people at high risk of disappearance due to confusion, such as people suffering from dementia.
Presumably the insurance companies will also offer a deduction on coverage that covers theft.
The negatives have thoroughly been covered in the forum so I will not bother
Solar and wind have a huge scaling problem. Land requirements, energy storage and grid connectivity/balancing become increasingly problematic the more you build
Most of the research into reactor technology was done by the DOD for its Nuclear weapons program, commercial nuclear power would have never been able to afford that kind of spending.
All TV's are dumb panels until you connect them to the network. You don't have to pay more, let all the other idiots subsidize the price with their personal data
Sorry but collection of sensitive data for profit, is a much bigger concern than a few legitimate apps being broken.
Now, if only we could do something about Google's data-mining
Security wouldn't allow anyone in without confirmation, even if she had they key to the apartment. The rich and famous pay a lot of money to secure their privacy in New York upscale buildings
Just because they are in the same sector doesn't mean they are directly competing against each other, just like there is few people trying to decide between Toyota and BMW. People that care for network coverage, speed and reliability look at Verizon and ATT and people that are looking for value look at T-mobile or Sprint. A Merged T-mobile/Sprint might decide to go up against the other 2 or it just might decide that its perfectly comfortable sitting alone in the lower-tier market
BMS can only do so much, a lot of it will be up to the operator and how often they deep--discharge the battery pack, again we don't have data on how long they do last but considering that manufacturers have a 8-10 year battery warranty (between %60 and %70 capacity) it is a reasonable assumption that that's the cutoff where the manufacturers no longer feel conformable covering the replacement
While there is definitely savings in regular maintenance with EV's, there is no reason to assume that they are any more reliable then internal-combustion cars, especially since they have only been on the market for less then a decade and we don't have data on long term maintenance costs. In-fact since nobody but a dealer can perform any serious repairs on EV's and the expensive battery-pack will need replacement every 8-10 years, it might end up being more expensive to maintain.
They are still in the middle of the current development cycle. It will be at least 5 years before they will hate to seriously consider putting their foot where their mouth is.
I don't really see EV's becoming universally usable until cities make very large investments in charging infrastructure to make EV's even a consideration for curbside parking, apartment dwellers

Look forward to having 30 cent insulin needles be replaced with 300 dollar pills, not even talking about the actual insulin of course

The game hasn't changed. Put out a press release with the trendy buzzwords and watch the free publicity roll-in
A couple of microphones and a computer that compares soundbites is now "edge computing" and "machine learning."

Nuclear waste is a political issue, not a technical one. It is hard enough to build a regular waste dump, never mind a nuclear waste storage facility
Why bother analyzing the argument when you can just call it "biased" and be done with it

If you need a wall to protect you from "invaders" with no weapons or shoes you are most definitely a Snowflake

Any entertainment activity that takes away from learning time, being it TV or even sports will have a negative effect on 'thinking and language tests"
