Oh no... new technology to make things easier for most people may not work for you sometimes, you may have to use the existing channels.
Although, you have no idea, but apparently you just feel like saying "it wont work for me (but it might, I literally have no idea what I'm talking about) so it must be flawed!"
They're good for a few hundred megabits. I had one at it was great when I had a 100/20 connections. I upgraded to 950/450 and it could only manage ~300Mbit.
A bit off topic, but bumpers are designed to lessen the impact when you hit a pedestrian. If I was hit by a car, I'd rather it be the softer plastic bumper than the metal behind it. I think "broken legs" are a better alternative to "severed legs"
I've never been charged an initiation fee for power, water, phone, internet or trash. The closest think I've had to pay is a refundable bond for power when I was younger. Understandable as I had never had a power service before and it's paid in arrears for actual power used. Sometimes internet/phone packages come with minimum 12 or 24 month terms, but those usually give you something in return, like free modem or discounted monthly fee. Upgrading to fibre cost me a 24 month term, but in return I got free install, including connecting the fibre to my home and a termination device. Also got a free router to handle the gigabit connection that retails for over $200.
Things are much better when wholesale is separated from retail, breaking the monopoly and eliminating the capital required for competitors. I could have bought my internet service from literally dozens of providers.
That's because it's a private taxi company trying to make a profit.
I think what the other post is getting at is a public transport service based on shuttle buses, subsidised like other public transport is. Cheaper and more effective than running empty busses around bus stops that are too far from where people live for anyone to walk to.
In my experience it's people who live close to the city who don't benefit from extending public transport who complain the most.
The actual reason these rural communities have poor public transport is because of their low population density. No one is going to use a bus route that either a) doesn't stop anywhere near their house; or b) stops near everyone's house so takes them 2 hours to get to the shops.
That's because the breathalyser doesn't measure the person's ability to drive. It measures their breath alcohol concentration.
460,000 people passed the test, 33,000 failed. 1350 had their licenses suspended. That's about 32,000 false positives out of about 500,000 people. 6.5% false positive, well under your 10% benchmark.
It's a screening test, designed to be performed by people who are not doctors. It's supposed favour false positives and minimise false negatives. Failing the test simply means you need a proper test.
Like the eye test machines some counties have. I fail them everytime, and every time I have to get a certificate from an optometrist that says I have good enough vision to drive without glasses.
Also like the breath tests police conduct for driving under the influence, the machine you talk into while sitting in your car is a screening test. Failing that test requires you to do an evidential test.
There are millions of millennials that have never had an accident either. The facts though, are in Japan, per kilometer driven, drivers over 65 kill twice as many people as drivers under 25. Despite them only having had their license since they turned 18 and the old people have had theirs for decades.
Did you not even read the summary? It gives you a lower bound. "More than 33,000 drivers who took the cognitive test last year" That means more than 33,000 drivers 75 years or older, because that's how many failed the screening test and were referred to a doctor.
That's also only those who had to take the test, which is only required once every 3 years.
From TFA: "An additional 460,000 older drivers showed slight impairment of their cognitive functions, based on their performance on the test, but were allowed to keep their licenses if they took a three-hour traffic safety course."
That's half a million drivers who either failed or showed slight impairment in 1 year on a test only required every 3 years for >= 75 years old.
That's 1.5 million dodgy or failed results. There must be many times that who passed the test, so we're not talking 200000 drivers, we're talking millions. i
Let me guess, the cameras saw the reflections in the window as a clear way forward.
The driver is cooperating with a police investigation, she says she thought her car was in park and she does not know what happened.
I'm glad my non-electric car has a real park setting on the transmission. One where there is a physical cable attached to the selector that engages a pawl to lock the transmission.
So the answer to the question "How many planets in our solar system?" is "What year are we talking about?" When I was at school, it was 9 When my first child started school, it's 8 Now by the time my second child is at school is could be different again.
And we're all talking about the same set of objects orbiting the sun.

Yes, Hubert
Does USA not have laws against unjustified dismissal?
Sounds like a shit place to work.

Let me guess, voip services sold as a replacement for traditional phone lines are also under Title II rules?
Because they all put it in the terms of service you agreed to and USA has no law that says they can't add that to the contract.

Company that has its super expensive stuff all made in China says tariffs are the wrong approach.
I'm sure he just thinks is bad, not that he is afraid of a 25% tariff on his products.

That'll work great in the rural towns where there is no public transport and the elderly population exceeds 50%

What makes it worse, as you go further out from the cities the percentage of elderly population gets higher too, with some towns over 50%.

Try using it for meetings and screen sharing.
It's by far the most unreliable software I have to use.
Duh. That's why I said "let me guess"
If I had data to go on it wouldn't be guessing.
I assume you also engaged the parking brake too.
It wouldn't be so bad if the number kept getting higher as more planets are discovered
It's all electronically engaged in a Tesla. Even the emergency handbrake is electronically actuated.
Let me guess, the cameras saw the reflections in the window as a clear way forward.
The driver is cooperating with a police investigation, she says she thought her car was in park and she does not know what happened.
I'm glad my non-electric car has a real park setting on the transmission. One where there is a physical cable attached to the selector that engages a pawl to lock the transmission.

When I was at school, it was 9

Now by the time my second child is at school is could be different again.
