I don't know what @pg means by aggressive or passive. In what respects? Maybe I don't understand what passive or rules-oriented are like because I live in a VW that has disco bar lights, a train horn, and I do basically whatever, wherever I want.
The US SAT I of the late-1990's was far too easy (I only missed one Q with a mis-selected answer, but I'm no genius and didn't study or prep for it one iota (or epsilon, as the case maybe)). Static, multiple-guess Q&A tests aren't able to assess a broad range of orders-of-magnitude of capabilities because of their various vulnerabilities.
Professional Engineer and physics tests that include fewer, open-ended written-response problems that build on each other tend to be more rigorous forms of domain knowledge testing. Some Q&A can be used as a first-pass filter, but it shouldn't be relied-on how the US K-12 under NCLBA leans on excessive multiple-choice standardized testing.
Maybe. I was very depressed trying to earn a BS CSEE degree that took me 13 years (1997-2009). I started with severe depression, anxiety, and ADHD but didn't know it and went untreated for most of the time. I did it, but went bankrupt, became homeless, couldn't hold a job, and still have $9k in loans held by Betsy DeVos' Navient that will never go away. Not sure I'm a good anecdotal example. Got it done, but at the cost of switching temp jobs only to not be hired back because the lab moved cities and reorganized. On SSI disability and Medicare now (which took about 7 years and a lawyer to get), which sucks because I don't want to depend on them. :(
Yes. Thanks. The xFi iOS app landing page was redirecting there. When logged-in with a Comcast account, it finds the customer's service area and relays information about outages. Otherwise, I don't think it shows anything or a summary of outages (IMM).
Clearly, that page is geared to reducing their support phone call volume when a bunch of customers' internet goes kaput... which makes sense. Interactively calling-in human-to-human to learn generic, broadcast-able information is expensive for all involved when b2c phone support ought to be cut-down to special cases, emergencies, clarifications, and detailed questions not answered elsewhere. (And hand-holding VIP customers who pay piles of money.)
I'm trying to recall an incident (19th or 20th c.) where a mine or a factory hired strikebreaker snipers to climb into towers and shoot down into the strikers.
Yep. It's down for me too. I thought it was censoring searches because it was working intermittently depending on keywords consistently, but it looks like it's just down. It's weird because I haven't noticed DDG go down in a looong time as I use every single day on all devices. Will have to retry later to completely dispel to myself any notion of censored search. Oh well... off to https://startpage.com for now.
On the contrary, Amtrak represents the exact scenario that OP was asking about. It was created following the complete collapse of all the major passenger railroads.
The worst case is they could all merge into "Amwings" and those who choose to AGTOW would go bankrupt. I doubt it. Consolidation down to fewer major carriers per country would happen first because it's not like HYPErloop is going to put airlines or air cargo out of biz anytime soon.
Juan at blancolirio announced this about a week ago. He doesn't hold much hope returning to a trip 7 right seat but is exploring firefighting and other options.
Rules are for fools.
