Socialism does not have to equal a fascist police state. Your entire post is on point and insightful, but you should really have left the socialist tangent out.
If you have shares in a company for 1 million dollars, and those shares are 1% of the company's worth, the company is worth 100 million.
If you sue the company for 10 million dollars they lose 10% of their value and are now worth 90 million. Your 1% shares are now only worth 900,000 dollars, right?
But you just got 10 million dollars. Who cares about the shares at that point.
Yes, using the hours on an airplane to write up a report, play some small games or whatever else one can do on a computer is certainly cause for alarm.
Why don't they just make stasis pods mandatory on flights already.
Massive complaints outside the US vs. massive lawsuits inside the US? What's the difference?
The US is a laughing stock for the idea that as soon as you've been treated by a doctor or hospital, lawyers are asking you to turn right around and sue said doctor or hospital for any tiny mistake they might have made. "Thanks for saving my health," indeed.
And thus you prove the point that is being made - that the Rules are more important than Getting Shit Done.
This is not some random hospital I contacted. This is a hospital where I have a current treatment going, but because the last time I was there was in April they refuse to write ONE prescription in order to Get Shit Done.
It turned out such that I am using some leftover eyedrops of a different brand I used to use before they swapped me to the current ones. Never got a reply to my second email asking if they understood the problem of telling me they couldn't help me while my doctor was away until they could get a note from the doctor who is away.
No, the problem is EXACTLY that they are a stickler for rules rather than getting things done. There is no flexibility, no grey area in which things get done unless the rules specifically allow it.
Let me give you a very recent example. A year ago I had eye surgery to get a cornea transplant, and to help the cornea attach and not be rejected I'm taking a series of different medications and eye drops. Monday of this week I went to my doctor to refill my prescription for my eye drops only to find out he's on vacation until the second week of August. Ouch, not smart, and yes I should have paid attention to his vacation schedule.
I had the great idea of sending an email to the hospital that did the surgery and where I go for checkups every few months, asking them to write me a prescription just this once.
They refused. Why? Because I hadn't been there this quarter and to do ANYTHING for me they need a new referral from my doctor.
The doctor that's on vacation.
HOW is that getting shit done? They refused to get me the eye drops that are required to help my eye heal because of bureaucracy.
After dealing with German bureaucracy for the past eight years I can assure you, the German government's list of interests doesn't include "Get shit done".
Don't forget the psychological trauma on the guy that shot him; killing another person, especially when you find out later that he was unarmed and no actual threat, is NOT something you just shrug off because the law says it was okay to do so.
It sounds like he deliberately woke them up, which could mean actually shaking one of them awake. At that point you already ARE in close proximity, in a room that usually only has the one entry and exit, and the only course of action left is to get HIM away from YOU rather than the other way around,
Because there is more perceived loss of time driving back empty from the customer farthest (furthest? I'm never sure about those two) from the pizza place than from the nearest. The whole trip may take the exact same time, it's all in the psychology of it.
Simpler yet. We get hungry at specific times of day. In the morning before we set out to do whatever the hell we do, whether foraging or hunting or farming or smithing or whatever job one has had through the ages. Around noon, possibly as an aid to take a break, gather your thoughts, and restore energy. And then again in the evening before dark since we're about to be unconscious for several hours and can't take a quick snack in the meantime.
I wonder about the work hours these researchers have. Do they not have 8-16 or 9-17 jobs? No one in their family does? It's not common for them to be home around 6-7 pm and go, "I don't wanna deal with cooking. Hey Google, order me a pizza."?
Did you read all the numbers? The only 0.3 mbps difference in the summary is between different kinds of iPhones, while Android phones are getting roughly 10 mbps more.
That said, who cares when data plans are capped and it's a constant struggle to not max out. What kind of movie can you watch that requires more than 30 mbps and is short enough that there'll be data left on your plan when it's done?
They are still there if you know where to look. Connected on one know.

It is like cowriting a book, a massive tangled story that doesn't have to make sense and which only exists in the moments you are there. It is like Second Life, except you don't need to be a coding genius or rich kid to have pose balls and great graphics - the poses are anything you can think up, the graphics are in your mind's eye.
It is a freedom to move past not just reality, but the imagination of everyone else. For all the freedoms offered in Second Life, or in WoW, or in VR Chat, or anywhere else, there are constraints, things that can't be done either because no one else ever thought to do it or because the code isn't advanced enough.
On a MU* all you need is to think it and type it and then it happens because you will it into existence.

Emotional intelligence: Showing empathy when necessary, possibly being good at gauging how upset a dissatisfied customer is.
Cognitive flexibility: Seeing an issue from both sides.
Both of those sound important for running a successful business.

You're absolutely right.
Businesses should be allowed to do whatever the fuck they want with no one ever holding them accountable.
