"Low service" might just mean lower-resolution or only being able to view on one screen at a time. Considering that we only have one TV and it's still 720p, that would be a perfect plan for my apartment.
The content is more interesting than cable TV if you like foreign and low-budget films, not just re-runs of movies that you saw in the theater last year.
Capitalist corporations need to be coerced. Best to have equality of outcome, where every human of normal height, regardless of leg length, pays the same for a plane ticket. Socialism is good and necessary.
(a) visibility within a car is worse (b) car is longer in front of the driver -- if the driver saw traffic in an intersection, they'd likely not be able to stop without sticking into the interesection (c) bike is more maneuverable (d) bike is less likely to cause damage in an accident
Yes -- if you have decent situational awareness, you're aware of which cars just parked and can make an effort not to be doored. A few blasts of an AirZound horn will generally wake the dead.
Because polluting a data pool is more amusing than just not adding your location to it. Active sabotage is always better than passive lack of participation.
"Here's a solution: Wait behind the last car. There. Now they don't have to worry about getting doored or right-hooked."
Then they have to worry about being rear-ended by some idiot on a cell phone in a car.
I think this was an issue recently, where US soldiers were using Strava while deployed abroad -- until someone realized it was possible to calculate deployment numbers by mining Strava data.
There needs to be a OS mod that randomizes location data that apps get within 5 to 10 miles. Only feed the navigation app (if open) the correct data. 5-10 miles should be enough precision for things like weather to work perfectly, while polluting the data streams that app provides sell to third parties.
Yeah, but the cars aren't the same. You can buy cars outside the US that don't adhere to US safety standards, and are thus cheaper than the cheapest US-market vehicle.
This is when you move to a less-developed country, buy some property to pay your way, and enjoy the fact that cars, food, and everything else are 25-50% of US prices.
And you'd be wrong. In a 90-second evacuation, seconds count. A narrow seating row that's 3-5 seconds slower to empty will add up and slow down the evacuation.

Compared to cable, their content is awesome. Lots of foreign films and TV shows that you can't (legally) get in the US any other way.
I guess it's bad if you're a sports fan, but NFLX and TV antenna does pretty well for me. Total nut including Internet is about $50/mo.

90 seconds is the law. If it can be used to force the airlines to provide reasonable passenger accomodations, great!
Several reasons, wanker...
(a) visibility within a car is worse
(b) car is longer in front of the driver -- if the driver saw traffic in an intersection, they'd likely not be able to stop without sticking into the interesection
(c) bike is more maneuverable
(d) bike is less likely to cause damage in an accident
NYC is full of electric bikes (mostly illegal themselves) without lights or with inadequate lights.
Nah, I'd say that cops in the US generally pick on people. The job attracts a certain kind of sociopathic personality.

The more likely outcome here is self-driving cars being restricted to freeways until they can reliably interact with moving things that aren't cars.
No, they used location data leaked by apps. Tower location data has much poorer accuracy and also may not be public information.

Most people wouldn't know how to do that, though.
Alarmist claptrap -- we're talking about 90s levels of safety, where most people STILL didn't die in car crashes.
Or just teach. Go for a master's or Ph. D. and become a professor or technical high school teacher.

I'm stating facts, not all routes have the capacity for even one 737 per day. Also, having a choice of departure times is good.
We're not comparing a Q400 to a 737-800, but to an E170, E190, or C-series.
Really depends on trip distance -- it's easy to ride a mile or two in normal weather (below 75F/25C) without sweating too much.
I'm not talking about the law here, I'm talking about reality. Whatever cyclists do, they still get shat upon by drivers.
