Your argument suggests that there are actually 2 smart phone markets. One for iPhones, one for everything else. I think this is a fairly reasonable assumption for the majority of consumers. Let's assume very few people are switching ec

The system isn't static. There have been changes before so there is no reason it can't be changed again. The House of Representatives has 435 people. The size used to change after each census but they stopped increasing it early i

That's your use case (and probably fairly common). The original question specified < 1 GB so my comment was based on that. If I had to save 1 TB I'd probably save 1 copy with a specialized storage provider, 1 hdd in a safety de

I would not recommend starting with a lower cost folding bike. When I was shopping for a folding bike 8ish years ago I tried out a bunch of different bikes. Most folding bikes feel pretty squirrely and harder to ride than a typical bicycle.

A lot of your questions also apply to the current situation. The difference is that right now your insurance company is the one making decisions about costs, benefits, and limits of care you receive. Making the government the de facto insur

I'd count it as 1 step in a multistep process. Each step of the process gives more info, but is also more investment from each side. I've also never seen it split over multiple days. Often, pre covid, the company is flying people
