In Texas, the speed limit must be set by engineering standards. If a private person wanted to pay for an actual traffic study on their road, and the results differed from the speed limit set by the city (who posts the signs), then the private study would be valid, and the posted signs would be "illegal" (as in not legally binding, but fully legal to post invalid signs).
There was a big stink about this in Dallas in the '90s. The limits on the interstates were set too low, so all tickets were "invalid" as the speed limit not being properly set and displayed, the burden of proof for every ticket was that the government needed to prove the speed was unsafe for the conditions. I looked, but couldn't find a reference to it. It was before all the articles were stored forever online, so lost to time, it seems.
Nope. The professional societies, and boards, set professional standards. The standards for speed limits and such are set by engineering standards. Convince the board to change the standards, and essentially, you've changed the law.

Their problem is that with all the "tricks", if you find out how to game them, you'll get a lower price than anyone else. And they work, because every sap thinks they got a better deal than most.
They learned this trick from used car dealers. It's an ancient trick.
Not every cycle is a bubble. A boom followed by a crash is a bubble, but a boom followed by a slow reverse isn't. The housing crisis was a bubble because it was built on banker fraud. The increase in housing prices in the '80s was new plateau, with localized crash in Texas, from a "crisis" identical to the later global housing/lending crisis, just localized to Texas, centered around fraud related to land valuations. If the "crash" is a slowing of housing cost growth, then it was never a bubble.
housing *always* goes up. There are more people tomorrow than there were yesterday, so demand is going up, but there's no new land.
If you have a doctorate in Underwater Basketweaving, and stand up when the pilot on your flight asks for a doctor, should you be jailed or fined for that?
The professional organizations are stifling speech. They should only be able to limit speech on a subset of words. "I'm a physician" is different than "I'm a doctor". Just like "I'm a PE" is different than "I'm an engineer."
He claimed to be a doctor and gave the opinion that the other doctors were wrong. That's not a medical opinion, but a complaint. Shooting the messenger is a bad policy.
In the UK, "electrical engineer" means "electrician" in American English. In all English speaking countries outside the US, "engineer" means "someone that makes something". In many cases, "Engineer" outside the US means "metalworker" or "mechanic" in US speak. The engineering boards don't persecute people for using the term loosely. In the US, the term is abused by the boards. PE should have a meaning. "engineer" shouldn't. It literally means someone that builds, maintains, or operates an "engine". So every car driver is, by language definitions, an "engineer". Though the engineering societies in the US have managed to get laws passed that re-writes the language.
And yes, that's a US-only phenomenon. If you claim PE status outside the US, the punishment is the same or worse than in the US, but "engineer" holds a special meaning in the US and only the US.
You shouldn't talk about other countries, since it looks like you've never visited any.
Your words were incorrect. I corrected them, so that I wouldn't be technically correct in my reply. If you understood, you'd have used the correct terms in the first place.
"Hardware and peering" sounded like the costs associated with peering (not just the port, but the edge routers), and seemed to exclude core costs and other overhead.
But, this being Slashdot, you meant the opposite of what you said, and I'm an idiot jackass for taking you at your word.
Yes. For a company of that size, peering is on the order of $10 per Gbps per month or less (including amortized hardware cost for those links). With 10,000 customers aggregated per $10 per month, "peering" is probably about 1/10th of a penny per customer. Why yes, I have worked for a large ISP with millions of customers. And yes, I've seen the cost to "peer"
I put "peer" in quotes, because "transit" is what you meant. Peering, by definition, is free (Aside from hardware), as it's a mutually beneficial agreement. Paid peering should be referred to as "transit".
The more connected we feel, the more we like them. But, the "OMG, look at what [Trump|Hillary] did today" that is all "social" media contains, we don't build connections. We build walls.
So the "obvious" isn't counter-intuitive, but it assumes some level of communication. What someone shares isn't "communication".
That's the inherent flaw in the premise and logic that follows.
Nope. In most cases, it's illegal to waive parental rights. Doing so increases the burden on the State, so the State generally prohibits it. After a step-parent adoption a "third wheel" parent can waive parental rights, but in many places, that's the only way it can happen.
Nope. The government stepping in and putting you in jail for lynching undesireables is a "negative effect on freedom" but is still a net gain in freedom. "Forcing" freedom is still more freedom than anarchy. In practice, anarchy quickly becomes a warlord system. So GPL, forcing those who use it to remain open isn't a negative effect on freedom.
Unless you think that putting a mass murderer in prison is a negative effect on freedom.
I can see Interstates being closed to human drivers, and a resurgence in the pre-Interstate routes, but banning billions of cars from the road seems like a non-starter.
Most don't have them. A water-cooled air-to-water heat exchanger is a "radiator". The EVs with air-only systems would never have a radiator, though air-cooled is less common, as the batteries change. And in EVs, 5% or so becomes heat, while in an IC gasoline engine, it's closer to 70%. So the radiator in an IC car has to be about 14 times the size of the EV, for the same performance. But, when you need so little cooling, you are back to where radiator-less systems may be better.
And the size of the car in a semi is huge. The cab would have space for more than enough batteries. Weight and weight distribution would be more an issue.
O2 sensors are exhaust sensors working in a very dirty environment. The backup sensors around for 10+ years now fail at a near-zero rate. The facts show that your worry isn't based in fact. But I don't think that'll stop you from repeating it until you lose your job replacing sensors, at which time you'll be complaining about them being too good.

Did you even try to look before your insane babbling? It was literally on the first link from the first search I tried.
Why on earth should the federal taxes of someone making $80k in Tennessee subsidize the housing of someone making $80k in SF?
They shouldn't. The net flow of funding is from CA to TN, not the other way around. Nit picking the details is political, not economic.

I read somewhere that the average person has 20 genetic mutations, so sue God, that kid isn't 50% your genetic material. It's more like 49.9999999%
The child has the wrong genes because of the mistake. They are suing over the mistake.
Malpractice is a legal term that shouldn't be used. People who aren't up on the local laws in Singapore will probably use it wrong.

The sensors work fine. Both for the original complaint of longevity and yours of weather.
Luddites, can't even complain about real problems, but invent ones to complain about.
Except these sensors are outside the vehicle,
So are the backup sensors. The ones that don't fail in large numbers.
We will never reach that point.

Those that want boring cars are already buying the Leaf. Go buy a Leaf, and stop whining about the Tesla.

Yeah, and refrigerated trucks are impossible, as the refrigeration hardware wouldn't leave space for cargo.
