In 2025, if I were to drive a vehicle as old as the one i drive now, it would be a 2012 model.
I might upgrade to a 2016. But I won't be driving a 2025 model. Buying new cars is a losing proposition for most drivers.
Now, if car ownership in the U.S. becomes the exception, well, maybe. But I'm not yet ready to subscribe to the premise that on-demand vehicle sharing is going to win that fast. And we have several massive trends converging - alternative fuels/energy sources, self-driving, multi-mode travel. Not all of these will succeed within the same time frame.
There are dumpster-loads, tanker-trailer, cruise ship loads of money to be made in these industries. They and others can be insanely profitable and yet not be dominant players. Just to be perceived as indispensable will make them rich, rich, rich. And if they are, in fact, ubiquitous, then well, the money will flow like a river.
Get over it, these companies and their products are just too intertwined in our lives to be anything but obscenely profitable. If that offends you, you know what to do.
There are few reasons for a farmer who relies on his draft horses to abuse them. While non-union workers are plentiful in many cases, good horses may not be.
Not only are there few Bombardiers that could haul a ton up a mountain in deep snow, but all the other equipment is expensive, somewhat reliable, and uncertain to succeed. These horses are an excellent choice, and could even avoid unnecessary damage to the paths.
They are the right technology, applied correctly. Good job.
Maybe not. But the jockey is the smart component required. The horse provides effort and desire, each equally necessary. Skill is not a word that describes the horse's contribution to a drafting strategy.
Trained draft horses do not require whipping. In fact, a competent trainer would never need to resort to whips. Draft horses are bred to pull loads, they know what to do, and require minimal effort to direct them. And getting them home is even easier...
The "close door" button on the elevators I use works just dine. The undeniable evidence? When someone already in the elevator presses it, they can indeed get the doors closed before I can get from the "up" button two elevators over. Yeah, it works. And they don't want me to ride with them. It's THEIR damned elevator, and I am not welcome. I don't look like them, and they remember the last time they let someone different on.
SS7 is indeed intended for PSTN, and is possibly vulnerable to abuse where it is accessible via public networks. Better security in the gateways would help minimze these risks, but that inconveniences admin workers...
At work I face this - attackers trying to social their way to banking info, either to change it or disclose it. We have strict and annoying protocols to authenticate callers, and an appreciable number of calls are found to be fraudulent.
We never send out email resets, but we do use links. All that gets you is a shot at answering security questions, and then if you reset your password that way, your banking change is sent to a human being for them to call out and confirm. Not very efficient, but more secure, and after a successful change you can then do it online. Unless you forget your signon info again...

In the third year your phone's battery capacity starts to decline.
Upgrade is not the word you were looking for. Replacement.

Ownership will be the last to change.
That's not nagware. Stop with the self-righteous software vigilantiism.
Children.

SIP.
This could be my desktop Avaya phone. Or my Nexus 7 tablet.
Ah. So you don't want a phone.

Ignoring the reality that everyone is trying to hack everything, everywhere, all the time... And masquerading as everyone else.
Probably shouldn't feed them. It won't help.
This. Competence is not an absolute.
What he wrote was "it's expensive, so the government needs to do it"
Whoa.
What is used too often to clear land mines would make you weep.
"Ok, grab that scoop over there. You may want to change your shoes..."

They need fewer regulations than you might think.

Why do people post these responses just to prove they didn't know something? Something they could have, with a moment on Google, found for themselves?
Is it to try and demonstrate the item being referenced was somehow intentionally obtuse? It was not.
God forbid TFA referred to them as 'draught horses'.
of how to win friends and influence people.
Not.

Nothing giant on any phone I've used. Not even the 5 1/2 inch screen.
The people are the ultimate limit.
