data? yeah, albeit p2p sharing was popularized a year late, aggregating multiple channels for data transfer was something common.
but voip has some unique challenges, as you cannot reconstruct data as easily, you have strict time constraint as your call would exhibit disruptive latency otherwise, so your mesh cannot pump packet downstream at their own leisure, the goal is not to saturate the channel but to provide a ordered stream whee packets arrive in a timely matter.
as a matter of fact the first consumer available p2p voip app was skype, 5 years or so after this patent, and they couldn't stabilize it with a true mesh so their software elected supernodes across their own network to act as relay.
there's a game I used to play fairly often before updates simply broke it. like mission items were replaced with random fires floating in water. many users with the same issue reported it, and some like me even provided a save (which was never even downloaded)
all such tickets were closed with "cannot reproduce"
I'm not (their) tester, I don't have time to fully reproduce issues step by step, and I don't have access to a debug build anyway to figure out the bug trigger condition
"does not work" is the best I can say here.
add political views into the list of non-discrimination laws and let the courts decide, if it's important enough to have to be legislated, that's the closes framework upon which to model it.
I think there's an obvious midpoint missing in the discussion between private and utility, which is monopoly, which do have additional set of laws and checks in place precisely for their strength against the free market.
preemptive "there are plenty alternatives so they are not monopolies" - if turns out these alternatives are acting in concert, it configures a cartel, which can get regulated in all the same ways.
the economical concepts behind these events aren't so alien as the folk around made them to be, their novelty is in their application to intangible assets (views and online services) but most of the issues are the same as they were decades ago and the same concepts apply, to the same conclusions.
It's not by chance that enlightenment ended in the terror the first time around, people should read more about the past.
Said noone ever.
The walkable city model ignores the driving factor for commuting, the rest is just bike shedding.
A/B testing ads is a complex matter. you can A/B traffic and conversion easily, but a lot of established companies with fierce competition fight for mind share, not direct conversion; for that, you have both awareness effects (user won't forget about coca cola if they don't run ads for a month, and an ad that doesn't directly convert but increase awareness still has value) and coverage synergies (the number of repetitions in a day will increase coverage non linearly and the amount of channel repetitions will increase awareness more than a single channel view, even if it doesn't convert immediately)

now a consortium of runner ups not only hopes to catch up, but plans a parallel release of a new node size, while starting later, while starting with less know how.
that how eu is spending 145 billions while allocating 1bn to fighting covid?
I even said:
> Safety is something to be solved with more safe cars and better technology all around.
but apparently you're filtering what you want to hear, so there's no discussion to be had here, especially since all the point so far are appeals to feeling without addressing the point made. I'm sorry that logic has failed you.
You have a pretty well studied use case, London
All the poors were kicked out the inner city and commute for hours a day now
And just wait till they realise you can influence voting patterns by making it inconvenient to reach the polling places just by tweaking timetables, it'll make gerrymandering pale in comparison
there's zero chance mass transit can accommodate people's needs, even if you somehow solve the shopping issue with local markets and fixed item prices, the job<>house graph will always look like a fractal set of overlapping stars.
cars is one of the most important social equalizer of this and last century. it allows people from basically all social status to move themselves, their family and their belongings at any time in full autonomy, enabling them to find houses and jobs in the most economical and convenient places.
private cars win over public transit because it's a better product. the only way for public transit to compete is to mandate laws to make cars comparatively a worse product, which is fundamentally anticompetitive - once public transit become monopolistic, once the company owns a tract, they can abuse their position deciding pricing and timetables.
even in traffic, private cars offer a better experience: people are in their own space, under a roof from start to finish, with their preferred temperature and away from both obnoxious or influenced people.
forcing mass transit trough legislation will surely have some short term benefits, but also:
- more class divide between the richs, that will always be able to afford a car, and the poors who won't
- massive gentrification of well connected areas, while the poors get pushed out to where service is of less quality
- dependency of the poors to expensive third party services on any occasion they need to move themselves or their goods across a non serviced destination. rentals is not an option: rentals need a credit card, and guess who don't own one?
- dependency on public transit times. have an unusual work shift or need to visit parents? get prepared to wait in the open under the cold or rain. need to get your child out of school in a down hour because he's suddenly ill? too bad, transit only gives peak service at peak hours.
of course there's situation where mass transit gets convenient, like large cities where a significant percentage of the population shares the same source/destination points, at which point people will use it naturally on their own.
opposing private transit is going to destroy an important achievement of modern society, the car has been a great economical equalizer and still is. market, after all, need customer flexibility not to be captured. Safety is something to be solved with more safe cars and better technology all around.
it'd be like discovering tomorrow that soap pollutes: some will want to force everyone to smell, some will create a better soap.
well, tell that to people that will eventually be under his wheels.
No wonder Norway had an uptick of suicides and drug related deaths in 2018
I do most of my intercity navigation trough state and road signage, with the navigator on but only for the last stretch, like driving me to the address once we're close.
Around here, "navigator shortcut" had already become a derogatory term for their inane suggestions.
There's some that provide a truck mode, but I don't know what weights they have on their algos.
Via Michelin used to have a main roads mode, but they didn't give turn by turn back then only planning.
The right answer is for users not to be brainlessly following whatever their corpo device tells them to be the truth.
the real cost is not the rendering engine, that's a choice. the real cost in AAA quality graphics are the assets.
Some mods fix the most glaring problems, but they require investing in all dlc and make almost impossible to find an online match
