See original post, I guess? A lot of the constraints in how airlines can market service levels are imposed by the ticketing aggregation standards and how fares show up in searches. There are also issues with creating differences in luggage

So is ‘cyber’ just short for ‘cybersecurity’/‘cyberwarfare’ now? That is not what cyber used to mean… This is like when ‘crypto’ started meaning cryptocurrency.

Most flights on busy, small planes, where most passengers are wheeling chunky rollboards up, will offer complementary gate check for larger carry on bags. Often you can actually check such a bag for free at the bag check counter before secu

The old fashioned way cops enforce traffic law is, typically: unevenly, ineffectively, expensively, and with a large dose of racism. So we’re talking about trading off your concerns over potential abuse and misuse of technology vs concern

I guess it wasn’t clear that I share your opinion that it is not ‘obvious’ that companies should be allowed to set aside accountability in pursuit of scale. I was lending expression to an opinion that seems to be orthodoxy, not supporting i

Okay so is the argument that if a city wants to install red light cameras they must install analog film based systems because if they install a CCD camera with a raspberry pi and a network connection they could use it for other purposes?

A vanishingly small portion of the US rental market is rent controlled - fractions of one percent. In New York City there are only about 25,000 units that are actually rent controlled - tenants who have lived continuously since July 1, 1971

This was an internship interview over a decade ago. Nothing wrong with a brain teaser interview question under those circumstances. What would you rather ask an internship candidate? They don’t have work experience or real world skills.
