Muni's should make a level playing field. We have the tech to do it, a single fiber per home/business (ok maybe more for business) can with cheap passive gear provide 8+ different connections (bidirectional CWDM). So the muni's role is the physical plant they provide a point for all comers to connect possibly a L2 network for others to build upon and to provide baseline services.

Part of all that is to stop thinking in IPv4, it's trivial for a town to get enough IPv6 IP's to hand out /64 or greater to everybody. That makes it trivial for a single firewall to connect up multiple networks and route correctly. So you might end you with a muni network the connects muni services, schools etc etc. Your ISP who may or may not bundle cable phone etc but you could get IP based phone/cable from others and still have 4 free CWDM bands for later expansion.

I used to have to fight to get a sleeper car on the overnight train from nyc/boston to chicago. Compared to a late booked redeye it was cheaper but took 10 hours longer. For me it get me to city center for 8:30 leaving at 7pm but I was well rested, had a good dinner/breakfast and I was showered and ready to go.

Clapam junction was a signaling failure, anytime that the trains breaking distance is further than it's sight line this is a possibility. I'll give you a hint rarely is a trains sight line further than it's stopping distance.

They should have been fired, arrested, tried, and hopefully convicted. The prosecutor's office works daily with the cops they are unable to oversee them being far to close and familiar.

A tray implies that it's sitting screen up pretty much parallel to the ground. Thats fine for listening to music and voice commands. It's horrid for GPS or passenger infotainment where you want it mounted to the dash, headrest, seatback, etc.

Granted car companies love selling GPS nav and infotainment packages for a couple k that are outdated in a few years.

100mph is to slow, trains are irrelevant because they can not complete due to their lack of speed. Pretty much the rest of the developed word has high speed rail while we lack to political will to deal with the nimbly's. Trains will continue to be irrelevant until they become competitive price/time wise.

Those 20-60 deaths seem to be without medical attention. The previous version of this vaccine was pulled the previous version because the side effects was not worth the protection. Your assuming those deaths would happen with proper medical treatment.

Point being accepting life threatening/serious side effects for a non life threatening disease (with proper medical treatment) makes little sense to me. http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vp... Sometimes there are side effects that do not show up in trials, as a parent I would generaly not be ok with having my child receive any vacinne without at least a few years in widespread use. Now obviously if everybody was like me nothing would ever get into widespread use.

It's a bit more nuanced you have to look at risk of getting the disease + risk of bad outcome vs risk of bad outcome from the vaccine. For measles and most vaccines the math works.

Now take yellow fever my exposure risk is extremely low and the vaccine kills more than 1 in 500k.

Sure add in school choice, you only need a few to half dozen kids to pay for a teacher + overhead with the amounts public schools cost per pupil.

Hell our overall education quality could skyrocket.

So let me introduce you to the rotavirus vaccine 1 in 20-100k of having a baby need life threatening and life altering surgery. Getting the disease is a maybe you need IV fluids. Transmission is fecal to mouth or fecal to object to mouth, prevention is basic hygiene. This is good for my child how?

Many/most vaccines are good, but the instant you have a profit or even a status/power motive a good deal of suspicion is due.

Lets see Rotavirus CDC numbers is 1 in 20-100k require surgery after getting the vaccine. The actual disease you might need IV fluids and prevention is by washing hands.

I would call that fsking unsafe the vaccine has a much much worse potential outcome than the disease. The bill lets a committee pick any new vaccines they wish to require, ya know those sorts of places that nobody cares about and you end up with it stacking phama reps.

Remember that this becomes an everybody must use something, regardless of price or safety because an unelected committee said so. This is good why?

Do not get wrong plenty of vaccines even with the potential adverse side effects are no brainers. But giving an unelected committee the power to decide what medications your kids will take is idiotic and prone to abuse. Sure this is backlash from the measles gave my kid autism (BTW autism is far better than dead thanks) that does not mean it's right or justified.

15v or 19v watch how many companies will put a cheap LDO to get it down to a usable voltage like IDK say 5v. When it's in a case that then connects to USB. Watch as 2/3 to 3/4 goes into waste heat before even hitting the phone. What phones directly support this "standard". Looks like Car companies want to sell ya some cheap metal strips and call it a feature.

Coupled with a 4 way bridge, there is not a whole lot of tech here. I do not even see how it stays in place ya know while driving.

How about you used DRM to deprive people of their right for format shift and backup. Sorry you loose your right to sue for any copyright infringement.

They were not early adopters or anything else back then, the only path they blazed was down the toilet.
