If you're cooking food for people it's not common to get pre-approval of the ingredients beyond asking for any dietary restrictions.
Because automating simple systems is what software is great at. Why wouldn't you?
Would anyone care? I don't think a game company is going to refuse to publish on iTunes or Google Play because some tool they use for analytics stops working.
Nothing against analytics companies, but they just aren't a relevant party in Apple's (or Google's) ecosystem.
Both of these flights were originally scheduled to land around 8am. They landed around 5am so they had 2 CBP officers on shift to handle a 767 and a 777's worth of people. That mess ate up the entire gain of arriving early.
They would have known about the early arrival not too much earlier than the departure time (order of hours, not days), which isn't really enough time to shift people's work schedules.
Where do you work that makes tolerating that level of idiotic behavior worth it? It the job super interesting or the pay above market rate? If not, there are much greener pastures my friend.
Companies that treat their employees like morons eventually push out everyone who is not one.
No, that's not what that means. You can easily take special means to get direct peering to zero rated partners or install CDNs so that zero rated traffic does have any impact on peering links. Congestion at the last mile is only a small part of what an ISP deals with.
Not that hard I guess.
Data caps are the only reason you have affordable consumer internet because they allow a significant amount of oversubscription which matches the mostly-idle bursty behavior of consumers.
You can get leased lines from ISPs with no caps easily. You just won't like the real price that comes with guaranteeing a customer that kind of bandwidth.
Traffic out to the internet involves way more than your last mile connection.
Think of ATMs. They don't update the balance of your bank account directly. They just record a debit against it and then the sum of all of your credits and debits is your balance. This avoids it having to have some kind of lock on your account during the transition and even allows significant delays from various transaction sources.
