I was looking at the Wiki page, which had the Maersk EEE (i.e. the Majestic, the Mary, the Marie, etc.) at 18270 TEU, with the next biggest (the most recent of CMA CGM's Explorer class) at 16020. So, 14% bigger. The Maersk single E class is at 15500 TEU.
Agreed. They are substantially higher capacity (14% more containers) than the biggest container ships, but they're not some sort of order of magnitude improvement.
Well, you CAN, but when some Danish guy shows up, hands you a package, and demands you drive it to its destination, don't complain to me.
The Maersk E class is the largest currently in service, and the largest container ships ever built, but they're definitely not the largest ships ever built. On either length, or gross tonnage, there have been a number of tankers which are quite a bit bigger, although none are still in service.
1. Their autopilot does look great, but it's quite a way from actually self-driving. Personally, I'd be worried about getting one of those systems - get used to it, and the next time I travel and rent a car, I'd then proceed to rear-end somebody on the highway! Certainly not Telsa's fault, not sure if I trust myself enough.
2. Got it, reread your post, and realize what you meant. At least as much my misreading as your misphrasing.
1. Any car can be self-driving. SUCCESSFULLY self-driving is something entirely different. Does the Telsa have the full suite of sensors (including LIDAR) that the Google self-driving vehicles have?
2. The new "autopilot" feature will NOT be available on the existing base - it's just for cars being built now and in the future:
"Every single Model S now rolling out of the factory includes a forward radar, 12 long range ultrasonic sensors positioned to sense 16 feet around the car in every direction at all speeds, a forward looking camera, and a high precision, digitally controlled electric assist braking system."
84.222% of made up statistics have excessive numbers of significant figures.
Probably part of it - legalized abortion also likely played a role. Changes in policing also likely played a role. As with most things, multifactor.
Except that the rich spend much less of their income on stuff other than groceries/rent/mortgage than the poor and middle class. Making those exclusions helps the poor, but still shifts the burden toward middle class and lower-income households.
Understood, but what I'm saying is that, if you're a Comcast customer, you don't _need_ to subscribe to a full TV package to get HBO.
In Seattle, Internet Plus will get you 50Mbps Internet, plus the broadcast channels (aka Limited Basic), plus HBO, for $45/month. Rises to $65/month in the second year. 25Mbps service is $5/month less.
Just to be clear, it's not as if all the reporters on the White House beat run all their work through the White House press office. This story is talking about material produced by the "pool." These are low-impact, run of the mill stories (President met with Cub Scouts, talked about importance of youth exercise, etc.) where it would be silly to have every news outlet cover them with their own reporter. So, the journalists on the White House beat rotate through the pool, one person (maybe this week it's the reporter from the Chicago Tribune) writes the story about the Cub Scout meeting, and it gets distributed to all the outlets. Essentially, it's a mini version of the Associated Press.
I really doubt it, given that Charter is the one SELLING the system to Comcast.
and from the article,
- City Manager can ignore council vote.
- Comcast would appeal license denial and apparently would likely win it (why exactly?)
So really, the 'peoples' voice in all this is essentially irrelevant. Why does this sound wholly, unAmerican?
The law allows the city to block a license transfer (that's what's happening here) only if the city can make the case that the transferee (Comcast) doesn't have the capability or resources to run the system. In other words, if Charter wanted to transfer the license to Bob's Cable Hut and Bait Shop, which had total financial resources of $83 in a checking account and had only Bob as an employee, the transfer could be blocked. While people may not LIKE Comcast, there's no doubt that they are fully capable of running a cable system, and have sufficient financial resources to do so.
Don't know what market you're in, but if you're in a Comcast market, you can get 50Mbps broadband plus broadcast channels and HBO for $50/month, for the first year. After that, it rises to $70/month. Search for Internet Plus with Blast.
Time Warner and Time Warner Cable are two entirely different companies. They split apart in 2009, and have no connection except for the name.
