That's probably true, but I think that's actually kind of sad. We've seen enough legal threatening to prevent the truth from getting out that I think our reactions are to assume that's the case. If indeed this is Lumin

Yes. Sonic is not currently selling AT&T at all anymore as a new service, but we have existing customers on that product which can continue to use it. Where we are currently selling fiber, in much of the bay area and in Los Angeles n

Wouldn't there be 100x more of the same capability looking for threats and trying to head them off? A very advanced tool is still just a tool, and subject to countermeasures. I can see why countries would want to regulate it, but perso

Not an individual line, but if the poles aren't full then theoretically we could serve the area. Until the poles are full its free to use with an accepted usage plan and engineering plans to show pole stress and load/tension, but

The truck, yes. A few extra batteries and a charger are somewhat expensive, but within expectation of the job I think. I doubt most locations are entirely without power that they can use. Even public parks often have outlets at specific loc

Before that it was called x11amp, and after that it's been succeeded by a fork that ended up being Audacious, apparently.

Yeah, if you want something similar for other systems, try x11amp. (Yes I know it's not called that anymore and I'm showing my age).

From a little looking, the Greenworks 82BA26-52DP[1] seems like it might work well. It has a fairly long run time on battery on high (40 minutes), very long on low (2 hours), and has a dual port charging solution that seems to be able to c

Why? I'm sure they're less practical than the gas powered ones, but every tool system with their own battery standard seems to have one. Even if you had to have a few batteries charged in reserve, that seems more like slightly mo

Depending on where you live, if we already serve some houses in the area (very possibly if we're advertising locally), then it's likely that your specific location is more costly to serve and is being delayed until we reach that p

That was the plan until AT&T pulled the rug out from the resellers, so it's not an option anymore, as much as we'd like to. That said, I believe we are in San Jose, just mostly for aerial (telephone pole) locations. Below gro

And, although I suspect the original comment was made sarcastically, not at all at odds with the reasoning why they would reject submissions with AI generated code.

My point was that in some areas they equate winter with snow, and reduction of snow seems to be interpreted as no winter. If the weather patter is still notably different than summer, it's winter. Equating snow in the current area to

Thanks, that's fairly clear and concise, at least for the locations you noted. It does appear to be that in New York it might be required though[1], so it's possibly still a problem depending on area. I'm not going to act l

The difference when sleeping compared to resting or low activity work is that sleeping is about 60%-65% of resting from what I've found.[1] I'm not sure why we should assume that shouldn't be a problem. We could be close to

Exactly why I would expect them to make an exception for it. Unless the local laws have been changed specifically to allow for that situation, I doubt the laws started out that way though. I don't imagine the people designing building
