I ran into the same thing. They told me I could have a new phone for "free", but no rate reduction for having paid off my current phone. I told them that was too bad for them and fired them. That was a few years ago, and I have no regrets.
Also take into account that the hydrogen is produced as one step of the process for making ammonia for fertilizer. One might argue that you are in effect burning fertilizer.
I think it is normal to start with a "cure letter" telling them they are in default on the contract and giving them 30 days to come into compliance or face termination. This usually leads to something both sides can live with.
I graduated in EE in '69. Over my career everything changed at least once or twice. What I found most important was an understanding of the fundamentals behind the practices. That is, the underlying theory, physics and mathematics. With a firm grounding in those and a feel for how to apply them, I could keep up with the changes. I suspect it is the same in most fields.
A couple of earlier posters noted she should do what she really loves to do, and that is of course correct, but concentrate on the basics at first. All else will change. Don't fight the changes, adapt to them, and exploit them. If you love what you are doing, it is part of the adventure.
Still, life is a crap shoot. It takes a little bit of luck as well as careful preparation. Aristotle said count no man fortunate until he is dead.
Why would a company sign up for this? Additional business, sure, but also for identifying information on users. If you call an 800 number, the called party gets your phone number, even if it is blocked, because they are the phone company's customer paying for the call. If they pay extra, they get it in real time. I suppose the plan is to do the same with sponsored data service.
As with 800 service, the sponsoring company might choose the areas to which it would pay for the data delivery, perhaps with granularity down to the cell site. This would be great for selling local advertising, and avoiding wasting money on low income areas and areas outside the desired marketing region. Balkanize and rule!
True, but it was worth it to spite them. I bought an unlocked Sony Experia Xperia Mini from an outfit in NY, slipped in a Straight Talk SIM, and am now getting more for less.
HI-YO, HI-YO, DISCERNIBLE TODAY (A Song After Reading Toynbee)
Has it come to your attention how the race of man Has been climbing upwards since time began, How it's been climbing steady, and it's climbing there still, But every time you notice it, it's going down hill?
Chorus Going downhill is the natural way, For the old folks work and the young folks play, And the pioneer morals universally decay - Yet definite improvement is discernible today! Hi-yo, hi-yo, discernible today!
Now there's been a quite demonstrable and healthy gain In higher mathematics and the size of the brain, Between us and the oyster there were great strides made - But every time you look at us, we're slipping down grade.
Chorus Going downhill is the natural trend, For the old folks gather and the young folks spend, Yet line up all our forebears on the path that we descend And a definite improvement is apparent at this end! Hi-yo, hi-yo, apparent at this end!
The Egyptians, the Assyrians, the Greeks and Romans, too, Hung up some fancy records when their world was new, And some they hung so high the boys are shooting at them still - But they saw themselves continually going down hill.
Chorus Going downhill is the way things run, For the old have illusions and the young have fun, And our manners and religions everlastingly decay, Yet astonishing improvement is discernible today! Hi-yo, hi-yo, discernible today!

Yes. And in the late 60s undergraduate agricultural engineering students at the U of I were using the heat given off by a chicken in designing chicken coops.
Bell Northern Research in Ottawa, Ontario designed its later labs to not only not require heating, but to pipe heat into the older buildings that still did.
Isn't there a preliminary phase in Good Science in which one looks to amass enough evidence for a hypothesis to justify the effort of properly testing it? At an early stage what may turn out to be good theory is indistinguishable from humbug.
The alert is sent to a primary station in each area and daisy chained to others. WHQR is, I think, third in a chain. The alert hit there at 2:00:39. It got the start and stop "duck farts", but not the message itself. The scuttlebutt is that FEMA messed up the head end audio.
That wasn't an "after" picture of the device under discussion, but of something else they claim to have blown up, and showed as a warning to be clear what you are bringing with you.
Perhaps the router could be connected to a dish above the booth pointed straight down like a street light. This could overpower other signals in your booth and reduce your interference to other users. Dishes at wifi frequencies aren't large.
Over twenty years ago the USPS was working on a plan to install Group IV fax machines in post offices and offer a very fast document delivery service. Congress stopped them because they thought it would compete with private services. (Group IV fax produces copy about like a laser printer, and about as fast, but requires ISDN.) I suspect the same would have happened had they tried to offer email.
All they are asking for is a registered voter's name and date of birth. Email addresses are no problem; use throw aways from foreign ISPs. Then start reading those obituaries.
In a major campaign lists generated by canvassing of voters who have moved would work also, although getting birth dates might be slightly harder.
I don't think there is a defense against that. You have to sign a third party release for your current insurance, and the insurance companies pool data. Physicians have to code diagnoses and treatments and key them into the system to get paid. Your nosey friends might not have access, but the people you most worry about do.
We let some starve now for the benefit of many, and the great benefit of a few. Is that also evil? Property rights do something similar, as does military conscription.
Rawls seemed to answer many of the objections to utilitarianism with his rule utilitarianism. Of course, no ethical theory conforms perfectly to our moral sense, but I guess ours differs profoundly to that of our grandfathers.

They would be on much firmer ground to invite an opt in and delete all pseudonymous comments from those who don't.
What digital medium is presumed to be readable 20 years hence?

There are at least two different schools of "libertarian" thought. There are right libertarians like Ron Paul and left libertarians like Noam Chomsky.
Weeds that have evolved glyphosate resistance have become a serious problem. Are they sure this wheat didn't evolve its resistance naturally?
True, but it was worth it to spite them. I bought an unlocked Sony Experia Xperia Mini from an outfit in NY, slipped in a Straight Talk SIM, and am now getting more for less.
I fired Verizon when they refused to lower my bill after my contract was up and the phone paid for. Telcos never leave money on the table.

(A Song After Reading Toynbee)
Has it come to your attention how the race of man
Has been climbing upwards since time began,
How it's been climbing steady, and it's climbing there still,
But every time you notice it, it's going down hill?
Chorus
Going downhill is the natural way,
For the old folks work and the young folks play,
And the pioneer morals universally decay -
Yet definite improvement is discernible today!
Hi-yo, hi-yo, discernible today!
Now there's been a quite demonstrable and healthy gain
In higher mathematics and the size of the brain,
Between us and the oyster there were great strides made -
But every time you look at us, we're slipping down grade.
Chorus
Going downhill is the natural trend,
For the old folks gather and the young folks spend,
Yet line up all our forebears on the path that we descend
And a definite improvement is apparent at this end!
Hi-yo, hi-yo, apparent at this end!
The Egyptians, the Assyrians, the Greeks and Romans, too,
Hung up some fancy records when their world was new,
And some they hung so high the boys are shooting at them still -
But they saw themselves continually going down hill.
Chorus
Going downhill is the way things run,
For the old have illusions and the young have fun,
And our manners and religions everlastingly decay,
Yet astonishing improvement is discernible today!
Hi-yo, hi-yo, discernible today!

This could revive a long dormant industry.

Mickey has grown into a very bad rat. I would recommend warfarin.

I wonder how much more might have been gained from that amount of targeted R&D.
