Space will always be slower. There's only so much radio spectrum. There's no point having satellites 50 miles apart, they'll be getting signal from the same customers, so the same bandwidth is shared. You'd need some fancy beam forming tech or tracking antennas to mitigate that. And you're also sharing bandwidth with an entire neighbourhood.

DoorDash, DeliverEasy and Uber are guilty of it too
A deal for "Free Delivery" through a delivery provider, gets you all the way to "checkout", then adds on service charges, a delivery fee, the credits back the delivery fee.
"Free delivery" is free. Not an arbitrary percentage of the delivery cost they've decided to split between delivery fee and service charge. They're both delivery fees. It's a delivery service. All their fees are delivery fees.

Say no, and get sued by your shareholders?
Sounds like a dumb choice.

I think it can be summed up as "Mr. Dollar Ton is a grumpy old boomer that doesn't understand something, so berates anyone who dares challenge his world view"

Where there's money to be made from a finite resource, there's corruption.

And you claim to know how LLM's think?
The word intelligent comes from the Latin word for understanding. LLM's don't understand the answers they provide to prompts.

... unless parents approve more time
Virginia must leave the parenting decisions where they belong: with parents
Sounds to me like Virginia is trying to give parents tools to enforce their decisions.

Attached to: China's EV Market Is Imploding
Chinese citizens get cheap cars funded by government R&D money.
Who's been dicked here?
The car companies take government money and build cars
The car dealers buy them real cheap and sell at a profit
The consumers get cheap cars
The only ones "losing" money are the government. But they're just printing it. And building a massive manufacturing industry with development capability as well. Selling on a global market to everyone else at prices no one else can compete with.

These people don't seem to understand that China is not capitalist.
The Government won't allow it. They'll fund failing companies, write off debts, what every they want to keep things going.
All of these companies have Government representatives on their boards. A large number are partially Government owned.

Only $8 for premium economy on a long haul flight across the Pacific.
In terms of relative prices, a economy flight from LAX might be $900, premium economy $1,500 and business class is more like $12,000 and first class is $20,000
So less than 1% tax. 0.5% for premium economy and 0.16% for first class.

Step two is a GM app store
Step three is subscriptions for all the apps in your car. Cruise control? There's an app for that. Aircon? App for that too.
Buy a second hand car? You'll need to pay for all the options the original buyer already paid for.
