I don't ride the scooters here, but I do make frequent use of a bike share membership and imagine that the rationale behind why people ride scooters is pretty similar.
Here's a sample use case where I see the scooters making sense -- going to lunch 1.5 miles away in a crowded city:
30 minutes to walk
20 minutes to take your car (walking to a paid lot or garage + travel in traffic + parking in closer lot / garage, walking the rest of the way)
10 minutes to get a ride from a cab / Lyft / Uber (wait time + travel in traffic)
5 minutes to grab a scooter parked in front of your office and ride it to your destination
Cost-wise, the scooter rental is likely the cheapest (other than walking).
"Researchers at the University of the West of England (UWE) set out to examine the impact of free Wi-Fi on commuter trains.

The machine that prints the ballot doesn't need to be the same machine that counts the ballot.
If you wanted touch-screen systems for improved accessibility, you could have them print out the same type of paper ballot that gets fed into an existing optical scanning machine.
There are some non-drug alternatives for dealing with inflammation that have seen positive results from research, namely foods with high amounts of anthocyanins.

Great agile team over there with a commitment to TDD and trying to put out stuff that people have fun using.
I'm sure that pulling one over on customers was the last thing on their minds.
Have compared a few so far -- Rhapsody, Pandora, & Amazon Music all seem OK if you're primarily interested in mainstream pop music from the US.
Last.fm was much better for international music (the user-defined tags made things much easier to find).
Now that they're gone, Google Play seems to have the widest catalog worldwide that I've found so far. (What's not available via Google Play can usually be played through the YouTube Music app, which comes free with the subscription).
Seems quite odd that he says that coding shouldbts require deep math skills, but then goes on to say that it requires mastery of logic.
Did someone not enough math classes to realize that logic is a branch of math?
Imagine if the DA went around saying, "we need to have a key to your bathroom door."
With a bathroom door it sounds hilarious, but that's basically what he's saying.
I believe you're looking for Section 1008.1.9.5.1 of the International Building Code:
Closet and bathroom doors in Group R-4 occupancies. In Group R-4 occupancies, closet doors that latch in the closed position shall be openable from inside the closet, and bathroom doors that latch in the closed position shall be capable of being unlocked from the ingress side.

If you knew what you were doing, it was actually a pretty good system -- you could order out of stock items that were clearance in-store at the in-store price and have them delivered. Probably not what they intended, but the results weren't always anti-consumer.
They can't inject into secure traffic. HTTPS solves this problem too.
For cellular at least, Verizon keeps pretty tight control over what devices they allow on their network. All they would need to do is to start shipping phones with a Verizon root cert installed that can't be removed. Phone trusts the cert, Verizon proxy performs MITM on SSL traffic...
Are these concerns listed anywhere? I don't want to assume they're unreasonable or far-fetched without having seen them. Or is "unintended consequences" about as much details as was given during lobbying?
Unintended consequence: if you support what they're lobbying against, you may find yourself receiving less campaign contributions when you're up for re-election.
It makes sense in a world where a project manager gave HR a brief explanation of what they needed as follows: - They have an upcoming project where they'll be using Swift - They need someone with 6 years of experience with mobile app development
My 20A appliance loop in the kitchen has 15A receptacles because, heyyyyyyy, you're not really going to draw 20A out of these right? Those 2000 watt appliances don't go on a 20A loop that can pass 2200 watts... I use a Breville 1800W toaster oven drawing over 16A through one receptacle. One 15A receptacle on 20A wiring.
Most 15A receptacles are rated for 20A pass-through, so they should be perfectly fine to use on a 20A line. The only time you should need a 20A receptacle is if you have a single device with a 20A T-shape plug.
Supporting net-metering requires adding additional complexity to all the billing, customer service, and other IT systems at a utility.
That leads to more things to build and test when making changes to those systems -- the cost of which could be very much out of proportion with the number of customers who have net-metering.
The supply of good writers is only a factor if you assume that the supply of ebooks is limited by the production of new books.
We've reached a point where the current supply of existing content exceeds the average person's lifespan by several orders of magnitude.
If authors were to stop writing books tomorrow, there would be no shortage of books available to read. The world might be at a loss, but the supply would still be far greater than the ability of readers to consume.
Sounds to me like a pretty clear case where something like this really needs to be balanced by heavy penalties for stripping metadata without permission.
I'd tried accessing a 401k account with JP Morgan a while back and had to call their 800 #.
Interestingly enough, their voice system asked for my password. Not only had they dropped case out the window, but for each character in the password they'd also managed to condense from 3 letters and 1 number down to just 1 number.
Quite a while back I came across the following two rules for development:
1. The code written by the guy who came before is junk. 2. Eventually you will be "the guy who came before".
Rule #1 tends to work because it's rare to be unable to find some way to improve code when you come back to it again with more experience or a fresh perspective.

Or the simpler answer: they just asked them what they were doing.

Most of the examples you're describing are examples of a data connection + an additional service.
There's no inherent need or benefit to the end consumer for the two to be bundled together.
If having a non-replaceable battery was key to making devices waterproof, why do the majority of action cameras have replaceable batteries?

Study by Accenture is a pretty big tip off.

Reminds me of an issue I've had with some intersections while driving.
The sign says "Left turn only on green".
The light changes to flashing red after 11pm.
Taken literally, the sign would seem to require waiting until morning.
