Which is why you make it a carryon. That said, given 50-70$ fees for checked luggage, you can bet your ass you're still saving money

This is not true. Airlines routinely put luggage on different planes. Doesn't meant that the first choice is any different(ship it with you), but it happens all the time.

Some of those routes aren't profitable, but they're required by the Essential Air Service regulation.

And some of those routes are just a factor of supply and demand. Lots of people want to fly to Salt Lake City, but very few want to fly to Rapid City. Granted, you could say that you could gouge people who want to fly to a remote destination, but most airports have multiple carriers and competition has shown to work on pricing(the Southwest/Jetblue effect).

You can't do it with checked luggage. You fedex your luggage if you have that much.

Some do. Verizon doesn't.

It's almost as if your maximum potential bandwidth to a third party destination isn't just constrained by the network you start in.

Not just that. Humans are corruptible. Send a doctor in to do it live and there's no reason that a doctor couldn't be compromised and kill the person anyways.

We understand our own game's communities pretty well, but stepping into an established, years old modding community in Skyrim was probably not the right place to start iterating. We think this made us miss the mark pretty badly, even though we believe there's a useful feature somewhere here.

Most important quote. They want to monetize the mods, like they did when they bought DoD, CS, etc. They just made the mistake of trying to monetize the mods of an established game of a different publisher/developer.

TMobile is GSM and Sprint isn't?

They lacked a visible leader. They had direction, purpose.

The hive mind always needs a leader. My space scifi reading history isn't up to snuff, but at least since Ender's Game 30 years ago, it's been common for hive minds to have a centralized authority figure, either as the host/transmitter of the mind, or something else. A hive mind without a leader ends up like the Force. Interconnected but with no purpose and no direction. We can't say the Borg were without direction. They've had direction since their first appearance.

Everyone would cheer if they went after Martha's Vineyard or Cape Cod. It would solve more problems than it causes

Teachers wanted good test scores, so they did the only thing that worked with the hand they were dealt, they cheated. Standardized testing as a grading mechanism for teachers doesn't fix anything.

The responsibility of school is not to provide a supplement or replacement for bad parenting. Bad parenting, love it or hate it, is a right we've given as a society to people along with the rest of our freedoms. Making the school responsible for this in the way you are saying is overreach and a violation of civil liberties.

Look to Atlanta to see what being objectively measured means. You're requiring teachers to be parents. You can only educate so much when the home life is a disaster

I work with public contracts all the time. Company sales submits an RFP response that meets the RFP goals with very vague language, the public customer does no homework and signs the contract, then the first thing the company project manager does is review the RFP and come up with a fit/gap analysis where they tell the customer that 30% of what company sales agreed to can't be done, then they proceed anyways and the public customer asks for everything out of scope they can think of to make up for the 30% loss on functionality, then they deliver a pilot that barely works and the customer either does what happened here or decide to say fuck it and roll the project out to everyone or even spend a few million more to expand it to people not originally in scope.
