I mean, they hit a cap and their service was degraded. This has literally nothing to do with net neutrality, and this is a big part of the reason that those of us who want NN have a bigger hill to climb. Other proponents of NN don't have a clue as to what they're actually fighting for.
I'm not arguing one way or another for what actually happened here, just pointing out that it's unrelated to NN.
Typically tanks like that with a reserve switch just had two tubes, one lower than the other. I had a Jet Ski that actually had both the standard and reserve fuel lines on the same structure, with the "reserve" side at the bottom of the tank and the "standard" side an inch or two higher.
In Manila something like this would be wonderful if they can get the price down a bit. Nobody goes over 30-40 MPH, anyway, and the roads are terribly crowded. As it is, motorcycles rule, but not everybody wants to ride one.
I believe it -- old 1950s VW bugs were that way. So are many motorcycles. When you run out of gas, the motor starts to sputter, and you flip a lever that picks fuel up at a lower point in the tank.
On a standard motorcycle saddle tank, you can't drain the entire tank out of one hole because it hangs over each side of the bar in the middle. So there was a gas line coming from each side which fed into a valve that could be changed to allow gas to flow from either side. One position was "standard" and the other "reserve", but the reality is that "reserve" was whatever it was set on when the other side of the tank emptied. If your reserve switch broke, the fix was to stop and lean the bike over enough that gas would flow over the top into the other side, and you could then get to the gas station.
It's not for everybody, but he's dead set on getting an education without owing anybody anything.
Who does he think pays for the military? I mean, I'm not criticizing his choice. It's valid and a good way to start a career but it's not somehow morally superior than paying for your own education even if you need student loans.
He is paying for his own education. The military gives him a salary, and it's something he can do (as a reservist) during college. He just owes them 6 years of his life.
Again, we have people saying "capitalism is bad, socialism is good", so clearly they're not talking about what you're talking about. They see this as an either/or situation, mutually exclusive.
The number of people directly killed by Communism is somewhere over 100,000,000 in the last century. Capitalism will never be able to catch up with that, partly because it's the natural system and we don't need to kill people to scare the rest into going along with it.
My son just went into the military to avoid taking out loans for college. It's not for everybody, but he's dead set on getting an education without owing anybody anything.
We have kids getting questionable (literally) degrees in "social sciences" that cost them $100K+ in student loans, and then they're shocked that nobody other than McDonald's cares about those degrees.
My kids know the deal - get a real degree and get a real job. Or make a real job. Or become a plumber and work it. Whatever. The point is to get a marketable skill while you're young and make it into a lucrative career. This still works, as I know plenty of young folks doing it.
Dollar cost averaging is looking pretty attractive now. If it follows historical patterns, it should be entering a long, (relatively) stable lull before the next bubble, which should hit $25k minimum, and could get as high as $90k.
Yeah, definitely. How much are you trying to dump?
This is another case where the UK's watchdog agency has made things better for the average consumer. Always be cautious of people insisting that "freedom" is always better, when "freedom" often includes the freedom to lie to your customers - albeit with the bonus of being able to make some truly awesome ads that don't fly over there.
Freedom is always better. What we're talking about here is fraud, which is one of the few legitimate areas of government intervention in free markets. If someone sells me "x", then I should be getting "x" and there should be government-supported recourse if they fraudulently sell me something that's not "x".
It's weird, because I always thought liberals understood these concepts.
This is where I grew up. See how the roads are spaced pretty regularly? Those aren't kilometers.
There's a huge amount of our country that's based on imperial measurements, and those for whom metric makes more sense - such as in science - already use metric. There's really no reason to change.
This situation is attributed to a new chancellor who immediately spent five million on renovating his house and then doing more renovations the next year. He also wants to get a football team going. Its clear that collages do better without them. The quality of the students who are there to learn is superior to the meat heads they will get with football around.
And, yet, if you look up about 2 screens you'll find someone claiming the problem is that we're not taxing "the rich" enough.
We have young people saddled with debt during the most productive years of their life. All so rich people can get a tax break they don't need. This is wrong.
What are you talking about? These things are not related. As people have been pointing out elsewhere here, college tuition has been rising at 2-3x the rate of inflation for over 20 years, while professor salaries have stayed constant. Obviously, the issue isn't that we aren't taxing the rich enough.
Holy shit. Seriously, left wingers. If you don't want to sound like a bunch of morons quit thinking that every single problem in society is caused by the rich not being taxed enough, even though they pay the bulk of all income taxes.
Actually, it's a step up in security for most people. My mom has a Mac Book Pro and refuses to put a password on it. She would do the same thing on an ipad if she had one.
I've mentioned this before. "Welfare" recipients include not only those who get EBT cards or whatever - it also includes a lot of government workers who are paid to administrate the program. Don't think those people will give up their jobs without a major fight.
The other issue with UBI is that the current system has plenty of room for "vote for me and it'll pay for you". UBI gets rid of that. Again, don't expect it to go away without a fight.
Saying chicken and pigs are "within a factor of two" is bullshit. Humans need protein, particularly developing humans, and getting it from plants is borderline impossible. Chickens are used to turn bugs and seeds into usable protein, and their food supply is minimal. Think about it - you can buy a chicken at the store in the US for $7 or so. That means that a lifetime supply of food for the chicken cost maybe $.50. See what that'll buy you in the produce section.
Pigs are used by humans to turn garbage into usable protein and fat. They eat anything. People feed them crap like corn stalks. This doesn't even effect the human food supply since they're eating byproducts of our plant production. There's no "2-1" ratio here - they eat crap that would be thrown away otherwise. They're literally free.
Beef is a luxury. Pigs and chickens aren't. If you visit the developing world, you'll find those two animals are well-represented in the farming industry because they're so efficient at feeding people.
Presumably "new mount == new lenses"! Which, is good for only them.
I have a Sony a65, and there are newer versions of that series that are even better. Sony bought the camera business from Konica-Minolta, and the cameras are *really* good, including essentially mirrorless technology (not quite, as they still have a translucent mirror to send some light to a focusing grid).
If you have to buy a bunch of new lenses, might want to check out the options.
This is, ultimately, the argument against monopolies in a nutshell (and this includes monopolies owned by the government). With no competition, there's little reason to care, and we see that in spades with the current state of Macintosh.
Phones are still being innovated because it's a highly competitive market. But it's clear the Mac is simply an afterthought at Apple now. They've allowed the entire line - desktops, laptops, mini - to completely stagnate and become borderline irrelevant. I am heavily invested in Mac hardware and software, but I'm considering going Windows/Linux at some point.
I require Photoshop, and don't care to drop $50/month for it since I own CS6 on a Mac. But I can do development just as well on a Linux desktop, and have a Windows machine around for Photoshop and testing with IE/Edge.
I require USB ports on a laptop. I will always use external hard drives regardless of how good the cloud is or how fast my internet connection is. I strongly desire magsafe power connectors. That was such an incredibly useful innovation and one of the best hardware advantages that the MacBook lineup had. I'm simply dumbfounded that they would give that up along with useful ports and such.
If they were trying to kill the Mac off completely, I can't think of something they would be doing beyond what they're doing now.
It's obvious that Tim Cook was a good CTO and everybody says his supply chain knowledge is top notch. But it's also more obvious that his place is as a CTO on a team with a good CEO, which he'll never be. I say that with confidence because if it was going to happen it would have by now.
I know Apple's stock is high, and that's one measure of the CEO. But their longer term prospects are hurting. Macs are required for iPhone/iPad programming. They need to get serious about Macs again.

You do realize that socialism is mainstream in Europe, right? I'm looking around and I don't see any gulags here.
Yeah, paid for with capitalism. The issue is that when people say "we like socialism *instead of* capitalism" something's not right.

Easy to say until:
1) The banks suddenly require it
2) Your DMV suddenly requires it
3) Amazon suddenly requires it
My guess is that people are more worried about pornhub requiring it.
