I got AT&T fiber too. The ONT is in the garage so you can clearly see the fiber cable. I had AT&T Uverse copper at 25mbs and upgraded to 1Gbs fiber. In fact they had to pull the copper out because the underground access was too tight for both fiber and copper so I gave up the landline. No matter as I'm using VoIP anyway.
The local competition is Comcast cable at much lower bandwidth and higher costs.
If you make the private market illegal and let the government run everything, you are back to a monopoly with all the abuse an inefficiency that comes with it.
I have a prime account that I use (or used to use) frequently.
When I know exactly what I want I often have a annoying time finding because what I'm looking for gets push behind the sponsored and recommended products. Essentially I have to "search" my search results to find the exact item. Since I've paid their membership, I feel I am entitled to an ad free UI. I know brick and mortar stores often move their stock around to force you to wander the aisle, hoping you'll buy additional products that you didn't plan too. I know that Amazon is doing the same thing by polluting the search results. But instead of getting me to buy more stuff it's actually encouraging me to look for alternative shopping portals.
My prime renewal is next month. I have no compelling reason to renew.
Sure they can incentivize you to do healthy things with sin taxes.
Then some do-gooder writes a law that mandates you wear a tracking device (for your own good) and reduce or withhold medical services if you refuse. Remember in your scenario the state owns all health care services and they write and enforce the laws so you have no choice in the matter.
At least if a private corporation is tracking you, they don't have the power of the police or taxing agencies to enforce compliance.
Have them while you still live in a crappy apartment. If you wait until you can afford that 2 million dollar home with nice furniture they're just going to ruin it anyway. Kids are messy and break things.
I really like the Qt framework. It's well done, well documented and well supported. Sure it's C++ so it doesn't meet your need of finding a new language but the API is pretty clean and simple so that you can avoid the complications and ugliness of C++ in most cases. If you need to though, it's all right there so you don't give up the additional power if you need it. The Python version is good too and very similar to the C++ version so it's not hard to switch between languages as your needs change.
They are supposed to create the budget that includes funding for research such as this. They haven't done a proper budget in years. Besides, how important is this compared to boondoggles like like California's high speed rail "to no where" that is getting Federal money. You can't fund everything so if you have something you care about call up your representative. If you can't be bothered I guess it really isn't that important.
The "deal" with Iran crafted by Obama also didn't get the Legislature's approval so it was never an official treaty. He couldn't get the votes - this includes many key Democrats, who are now saying we need to keep it in place - so he resorted to Executive action.
Mandatory GPS monitors so they can institute a per mile tax on top of the gas and DMV taxes. Making car pool lanes toll lanes. Raising parking prices. It goes on and on.
The question is then will it be the people that riot? Or will it be the fast food robots when they become sentient and realize flipping burgers for free really sucks?
As far as I can tell it's a novel gift marketed to young, technically adept people that want a new, but unnecesary, toy. So why complain it's hard for the elderly to use when it was never designed to work in that market?
A Yule Log is both wood you burn on Christmas and a cake, a cake designed to look like a real Yule Log. Look it up. But you are correct in that there's no real Yule Log as it's a gas fireplace.
If you believe in the divinity of Jesus then you have to take the entire New Testament, including the writings of St. Paul which explicitly say physical homosexual relations are verboten, monogamous or not. This is a carry over from the old Jewish law. Most of the strict Jewish religious laws were not required of Christians but sexual morality rules were one Gentiles were obligated to follow.
I think on the Model I they ran something like 300 baud. I remember playing a TRS-80 game that came on a cassette. It came with a flyer with step-by-step instructions on how to load the game and a quip at the end that said something like "loading will take awhile. Go make a sandwich."
When I was a kid we'd play army with realistic looking plastic guns or Daisy BB guns. Almost every kid I knew had a BB gun (except me... dad: "you'll shoot your eye out kid!", because he almost did when he was a kid). Older kids were getting 22 rifles. Schools had rifle clubs and you could bring your gun to school. Plinking after school wasn't a big deal. And mass shootings were extremely rare (no 24 hour news cycle to beat you over the head with it either).
It used to be quite good until MM became CEO and they switched to infinite scroll, inserting ads into the lists, and other inconveniences. They sacrified usability for a modern look. When they "improved" the UI many users and admins complained but Y! refused to rollback. Their user based dropped quite a bit.
How long before we see this catch-22 in the Daily Mail:
Guy with bad knees can't walk. Gains weight. Needs knee replacement surgery. Ordered to loose weight before surgery can be approved. Told to get out and walk more to loose weight. "I can't walk!" Sorry, sucks to be you. BTW, I see you have a liver donor card...
Maybe YOU should read them. You need a commercial license if you want to produce closed-source proprietary products. You can still sell your product / offer support, etc., without a commercial license, you just have to provide source.
And Qt is not the only game in town.
Which is not true. I worked for a small company selling close source Qt applications. We started out using the LGPL version of Qt 4.3 and once we made enough revenue we switched to the commercial license so that we could use some of their close source libraries. We used v4.3 through v5.5 and the quality and support was excellent. Going from 4.x to 5.x was painless so claims that the product is poorly supported are bunk.
They need more BART cops to police the trains and stations but as the Bay Area views uniformed officers as the enemy that won't happen any time soon. Now they are having problems with flash mobs robbing and assaulting passengers during the day. I refuse to ride BART. But then I also refuse to work in SF or Oakland.

This is not new for the President. He was talking about Mars since he got elected (and I believe also on the campaign trail).

Dare say 60 million voted for Trump specifically to shutdown the Federal government if they refused to build a wall.
The needs of the many....
Put on your credit card, save your receipts, file a claim, get paid when the new budget is approved. That's how many people travel for work.
Now if you want to be a SJW, blame the President and throw a tantrum...

And a majority of scientist write terrible code.
Python just lowered the barrier for mediocre coders.

PDT, using the same authority, is nixing it.

Go read Qt's commercial terms,
Maybe YOU should read them. You need a commercial license if you want to produce closed-source proprietary products. You can still sell your product / offer support, etc., without a commercial license, you just have to provide source.

No way ever will I do this.
