Reply to 5G hits the streets of New York by rit56

I would rather have 100 percent reliable, no drops or network stalling, won’t kill my battery 4G over “it’s supposedly fast, it only as fast as the server can dish it out” 5G.

Although that may be kinda true, having an earthquake warning for “three days from now, plus or minus a day,” won’t actually help random people.

Or even sounding off from tiny earthquakes…

If you’re wrong, people will stop heeding your forecasts completely.

Of course you don’t know an earthquake is going to happen until it does (duh!) and with wave propagation speeds of up 5 miles per second, the “best” you can hope for is 10 seconds warning at 50 miles.

Reply to [OC] Price differences per gas station brand (Germany) by wann-tanken

I think this could be plotted better on an X and Y chart with x being the number of stations and Y being the gas price differential (with 0 being in the middle) and then you label the data points with company names.

Is there any difference with regionals, is this before taxes (regional taxes differ?) etc. Would a brand operating in more urban areas have higher rents, etc.?
