I do not see how totally arbitrary insurance levels (decided on by you and the insurance company both of which do not need to tell the truth about their risks) would make it easier then a requirement for a minimum level of cover for specific usage.
It makes it simple for the police, the insurance companies and for you.
It is sort of like asking why 3rd party insurance is required at all. It is as others do not want to pay for your mistake. Now move that up so that the larger the vehicle the more coverage you need. Let insurance companies in and they will point out that if you have a larger liability then you pay a higher premium. And not at all oddly they will refuse payout if you breached the terms of your policy
Why do taxis pay more for insurance? The above is one of the reasons. Why should you be required to pay for this when you only behave like a cab hundreds of times a week?
That is debatable. Bumping the signals from the silicon to light seems to be quite slow (sort of time expensive as these things go). Almost enough to negate the transmission time overhead. Many people are working on this issue (lasing elements on the silicon substrate and various other good ideas)
But this seems to work. it avoids the large bus drivers it avoids the distance issues. It avoids the routing issues. Note that I said "avoid" a lot there:)
Oh yes when you get to the hundreds of Mhz-Ghtz range the signaling properties and distance become very important. Electrical signals in copper do not travel at the speed of light. Even if they did you still would have timing issues due to different lengths of the copper traces. on the MB. It takes a lot of skill to negate this single effect. The wider the bus the harder it is to achieve
And the government requires certain levels of insurance coverage depending on what you do.
There are lots of policies available but there are certain limits of cover that are required. These are broken down into simple grouping rules that cover most situations. Private, Commercial, Taxi, LGV, HGV, motorbike etc.Each of which has a different required minimum level of cover. Many require different licences. In the UK there are even different licences for driving a manual v's an automatic. If you can drive a manual shift you are allowed to drive an auto but not the other way around.
The insurance companies can and do charge more depending on how you use your vehicle. The government makes this simpler by requiring you to have a certain kind of insurance depending on how you use your vehicle. Private 3rd party up to taxi/livery. There are are a whole lot of options in between. But for various different kinds of use there are certain minimum requirements.
Used for commuting to work! It is one of those checkboxes on the insurance application forms that can significantly increase your premiums. Along with where you live. How old you are. What you do for a living. How many miles you drive per year. If you use it as a company car, who can drive it...etc. etc.
And none of that covers using it as a taxi.
Insurance companies do actually know how to make money. And they charge commercial taxis far more then privately owned cars as the risk for them is much much higher.
That depends on where you are. Yes many insurance policies require you to say if you are using your vehicle for company business. The number of miles you do per year and if you use the car for commuting to work. And yet still do not cover being a taxi.
Insurance on a private car can run from low mileage 3rd party fire and theft up to up to large mileage fully comprehensive any licensed driver. But it does not cover (in this country) commercial taxi services.
It is not hard to get but you pay a fuck load more for it. The insurance companies actuary tables determine the rate. Free market and all. The government requires insurance so they are not left with the bill.
It sort of works this way in Britain. Uber drivers have to be licensed as minicab drivers. The cars are also licensed to that required standard. So yes insurance is required by the driver. They are not black cabs. They can not randomly pick up passengers.It has to go through a dispatcher (Uber in this case). There needs to be a record of who picked up whom where and when.
Many other countries are trying to figure out where Uber fits into the taxi laws they have. Some work it out. Some just cave in cos UBER. Some just ban it as they took the piss too much.
dedicated optical lines do not need a light-electric-light amplification stage. It can all be done optically. Microwaves also do not need to be converted to electric signals to be amplified and bumped on to the next transceiver. Both need some funky stuff if they are routing rather than repeating. Take a look at the optical routing hardware if you have the time. It is remarkable.
No. To drive an external bus requires a lot of silicon space to handle the capacitance resistance and distance. This also requires a lot of power.
Stacked chips required far smaller drivers. The distance is in the mm rather than decimeters. The insulators are far better (as the current and voltage can be far smaller). Capacitance is also far lower. And you do not need to have 1024 bit data paths + address + signaling on the motherboard which makes motherboards far simpler and cheaper to make. Not counting the problems with signal propagation along different length paths on a motherboard (designed into the chip in this case) or having interactions from the multilayer PCB traces.
I was only being slightly sarcastic. There are many reasons to own the blueprints and have a license to manufacture (second source being only one). But even with all those there is a lot of knowledge not written down. If money is no object and you have cooperation then a replica could be build in months (look at how fast american Packard built RR Merlin engines for the British and for the P-51)
"The church does not require that Christian Scientists avoid all medical care – adherents use dentists, optometrists, obstetricians, physicians for broken bones, and vaccination when required by law – but maintains that Christian Science prayer is most effective when not combined with medicine"
So if required by law vaccinations are OK with CS.
Religious freedom has its place but is often used as an "avoid the law" card.
And required vaccinations are not unusual. Many countries will not allow you in if you do not have certain vaccinations.
Many people are already running a router 24/7 so electricity usage is not a problem All operating systems cache DNS lookups. And since the facebook ones are on many many web pages they do tend to be cached so this is not slow. DNS lookups are quite infrequent when compared to the amount of data transferred so "slow" is probably not going to be noticeable. Running your own DNS server (locally on your machine) or on your router/modem gives a lot of flexibility. DNS servers do not take up much in the way of ram or CPU on any computer built in the last 10 years.
So yes APK you do have a point and a product. But no you are not telling the whole truth.
Why am I arguing with APK? I know it is pointless.
Christian Scientists have been overruled many times and often prosecuted for letting children die without seeking medical attention (yep, often prayers do not work).
The Amish are not prohibited from vaccinations. They just have a low uptake and there are many inside the community trying to improve the uptake. They do not use religion as a reason to avoid vaccines.
My point was that whenever you have a religious exception you have a mile wide hole in the law as anyone can claim religious exemption. As who can define a persons religion?
So should the religious exception be encoded in the law making it effectively toothless or should the law not allow religious arguments. (there are no religious arguments against vaccinations from most religions)
Because these outbreaks were very small. Now try 98% of your population getting it as there are no vaccinations. Do you think medical aid would be there for the millions each year that catch it?
Another quote from that paper.
Measles is a highly contagious, serious disease caused by a virus. In 1980, before widespread vaccination, measles caused an estimated 2.6 million deaths each year.
The disease remains one of the leading causes of death among young children globally, despite the availability of a safe and effective vaccine. Approximately 145 700 people died from measles in 2013 – mostly children under the age of 5
If you claim that you do not have to be part of a recognised religion for your belief to take precedence. Then what you are saying is that anyone can claim the religious exception for anything. Do you not see why this can be a bad idea?

You have to love APK. Somehow he missed the point. Somewhere in 1980 or so? I could be wrong. Perhaps it was earlier.
Modifying the hosts file is useful but it is not a solution to all issues. Faster, Stronger, more secure! Well no, not really.

You would not want to eat one if you had allergies. I like orangutans, they live in library's.
But I do disagree agree with your statement about rideshare being used as a "new term" as in this case it is not.
