Fortunately this doesn't really matter because all technologies are impossible to get to 100%. Everything fails sometimes; nothing is perfect. All we need is better than a human driver.

So just like fiat currency! Although with fiat currency at least there's a government that will accept it.

I've found it useful for programming in areas I'm less familiar with. It has a long way to go before it will be a society changing technology, but these sorts of things can sometimes go a long way in a short time.

Level 5 means no human intervention ever, no matter what. A Level 5 car can be not even equipped with human accessible controls. "Level 5 for limited circumstances" sounds like another name for Level 4.

Can someone explain what the actual risk is?

Those people don't tend to be very good for this quarter's stock price, so it can be difficult to get a board of directors to consider them.

Marketing, done correctly, includes understanding your product, your customers, and why they want your product.

Not necessarily. A perfectly rational buyer (stay with me here!) wouldn't care at all how many competitors there are in the market, just what they're getting for their money. There are situations such as luxury goods where that does come into play (you can't get a Luis Vuitton bag from anyone but LV so it's "worth" more just because of that), but often the buyer doesn't care and may not even know about the level of competition.

Again, not always. There could be goods where people would be willing to pay more if they had to, but competitive forces keep the prices down. In the housing market specifically, perhaps a buyer would be willing to pay $700,000 if that's what they had to pay to get a house they like. But if there are enough houses on the market that such houses are priced at $600,000, they're going to pay that lower price. The supply side is just as important to price as the demand side, and competition heavily influences that.

Unless it's a highly competitive market, which this wouldn't be at least at first.

I just moved so once they manage to get the service working at the new place (today, hopefully) if it's still lousy I will see if there's something they can do about it. My understanding is that isn't just the way it is, the upstream is intended to be much faster than that.

If the rate limiting is done by Twitter, then the 1st Amendment doesn't apply whether t's viewpoint neutral or not.

Regulatory capture, mostly.

And I just found I have >800 down and 6 up. Thanks Comcast.

Evidence indicates it's expanding at an increasing rate.

Let me guess, you subscribe to either flat earth or electric universe or whatever it's called.
