And yet Netflix was less expensive before Amazon came along.

Ads are the reason I will not use Hulu. I refuse t pay to have advertisements blasted at me, usually unskippable ones at that.
Exactly this.
Goes back to the saying "The plumber has the worst pipes in the neighborhood."
Or "The mechanic has the worst running car on the block."
After working however many hours all week doing something, most people don't want to do the same thing in their spare time.
While true, my LG G5 from Sprint came pre-installed with Amazon Photo. I can disable it yes, but there is a cron job (or whatever Android's equivalent is) running and erroring out every couple hours with an error stating Amazon Photo has stopped and I now have to interact with my phone to do anything.
So it's either deal with the error every few hours, or install Amazon photo....
It's because it's "semi-articulated" as in in pivots, but not fully.
You can take a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... to get an idea of the difference between fully and semi articulated vehicles.
If the network gave the studio enough money, they will likely allow anything. Remember the content is controlled by the studio, not the people who actually put the move together (director, actors, etc)
You can always look and see. When I went looking after my daughter got into Lego I was impressed with the level of detail that is out there on lego sets.
For that specific set I seen only a few parts that are unique.
Here is a list if you want,,, https://brickset.com/sets/4114... and click on the parts tab.
Yes, but not for the same reasons. What the net is allowing companies to do is charge different prices for the same exact product based on their assessment of the consumer. Would you accept a store charging you more for food because their magical sensor at the door (or in your fridge) has detected that your starving, or because they deduced from your clothes that you're more likely to pay more?
Around here Home Depot does exactly this. The store my my sister's house is in a more affluent district. The one by my house, which is 10 miles away, is in a less affluent district, and their prices are set accordingly. And you can't tell me delivery is more. as well.. 10 miles.
On the surface, this certainly seems more like vendor greed, but we are talking about very large equipment that perhaps justifies some level of safety validation after a DIY operation. Should a Tesla simply trust Joe Mechanic's DIY battery pack refresh, or does it make sense the vehicle won't "go" until a certified technician runs a proper diagnostic on the vehicle to ensure it is safe to operate? Guess I'm struggling a bit between vendor greed and safety here.
I agree with others that Tesla should allow the battery pack to be installed (with monitoring so if something does go wrong it can be blamed on the battery pack.) Even if I did agreed Tesla should not allow the battery to be changed, you are missing one vital component.
Farm tractors are designed to be used on well, the farm. While I understand they do go on roads between lots, that's a very small portion of their usage. It would be hard to find a safety reason to prevent a farmer to modify his own equipment, used only on his own land, with little to no public danger.
#1 Enterprise level billing systems for internet providers cost a lot of money. The more regulations/rules/requirements the system has, the (likely) more expensive it will need to be. In my past experience we "rolled our own", but, this isn't feasible for most in the arena for many reasons and in hindsight it was a bad idea for liability reasons.
Why would a small business need enterprise level software?
There are a few providers that handle this for reasonable fees. We used Platapus for the small ISP I worked for.

I drive class A (Semi) and depending on how heavy the load is and which truck and engine I'm using that day it can be between 5.5 and 9.5 MPG Typically average 6.5 MPG in the colder months and 7.5 MPG in the warmer months.
To be pedantic, it's fuel (diesel) not gas that semi's use.
But what is happening is you have trucks in which both are governed to a max speed by the company to save to money on fuel. While both are governed to 62, one might be set to 62.3 and another set to 62.5. Yes, it is very annoying and one of the most debated topics on a truckers forum I'm on is who should back out to let the 4 wheelers pass.
So shooting down a drone hovering over your teen daughter sunbathing is being an asshole, but taking down a drone showing an advert is fine? Just wow. You might wanna get your priorities in order.....
Can you provide a link to this? I'm asking because back when I was working retail computer sales I went looking and could not find anything to specify this. The owner of the store would buy a couple things when he found a good deal at Best Buy, Amazon, etc and sell them as new, full retail price. Heck even his 'real' suppliers like D&H and the like really were not much better than buying from Tiger and the like.
Even worse, they started calling DSL Uverse. Got the ad blitz so I thought they actually had fiber here. Got the DSL self install kit instead of fiber install kit and called without even hooking it up as I know I'll only get 768k DSL here, as max speed.
Still took over a year to convince AT&T we ere not paying as at least they had a 30 day return/cancel thing going.
