I tend to have very high standards for tech. I'm an engineer.

Where I would see the other cars lights around a corner and go to low beams it waits until it can see the car comming. Similar it puts on high beams when a car gets very far out but I would not turn on my highs if I can see a car in front at all. It's pushing to keep the high beams on for as long as possible like your having problems seeing without them, that is a somewhat safe assumption. Where I'm normally looking for the extra distance to see a deer in the verge and the like, think the tech is setup so a 70+ year old feels safe.

Would rate it better than many human drivers.

New car it's fully automatic turns on the lights and high beams. Does a pretty good job turning the high beams on/off depending on other cars.

Yes but why do you think thats at all a limiting factor? At least 1 strand per building/apartment/house/etc to start thats 16 channels on typical CDWM kit so 8 providers. Even if they break up everything thats 3-4 providers (TV, Internet, Phone, and alarm). Sure a pair is nicer and putting extra glass in the ground up front is never a bad thing. End of the day glass is fairly cheap putting it into the hole and terminating it not so much.

It's by no means perfect but it's gotten well past the point it's a reasonable solution within the capabilities of muni's to do. Plenty of fiber going in for traffic management where they allready have contacts for the service end and bringing the skillset in house is not a bad thing for the muni.

You should be fine. CT for the most part does not care, you might get some tisks tisks from somebody's bigoted granny but hell I get that for letting my daughter do cub scouts.

Now if your a bad caricature of I'm the only gay in the village you will get derision but thats for being flamboyant in peoples faces not who you love.

When talking about just the optics part not at all. CWDM is entirely passive and does not care whats going over a given channel. Getting CWDM optics for 10mbs might be a bit hard but thats just because it's outdated.

Yes higher up it's very different but the entire point is thats not part of the muni's job. They just need to build/maintain the optical last mile, just glass and prisms no actual networking kit nothing that needs power even. That's within their capabilities anything more will probably crater badly at some point. This is also not how typical fiber to the home is deployed but thats a bit of the point of it.

Yup 2 or 20 cable TV providers phone internet etc does not matter just colors of light on glass.

Reasonable comparison but unlike power distribution there is no per unit cost a fiber doing 10mbs cost the same as one doing 100gbs each to 20 providers.

Great sumerary except for data lines. This is the one case where muni's can do it right. One fiber per home muni networks are a good split. Muni's do what they are good at taking care of a passive fiber network and providing the interconnect point. Providers get out of the last mile business. A piece of fiber made in the 60's can carry modern signals this is not expected to change. That single fiber can carry multiple data providers simultaneously using what amounts of prisms to break out and combine different colors of light.

Looks like lawyer

Pretty much this.

Thus far these has been very heavy on the stick, penalize burbs/rural that dont comply with the wants of the urban majority.

As I said it's the bored rich guy with delusions etc.

As to voting, there is a lot to be said for not Ned. I think plenty of people can reasonably take umbrage with the what but more importantly how he has done things. But that pretty much leaves them with in the position of casting a throw away vote often for the crazy rich guy with no chance of winning.

Because it looks bad if they dont find somebody to run.

It's like the libertarian presidential canidate they know they have no chance in winning so it's more find the guy who can run off for a year on something they know won't succeed. This leads to that weird rich guy saying yes because it's something to do.

They will probably still be fairly wet inside if they have not starting rotting yet. Something that big you need to split up to start drying it out.

It's a lot of processing to get something that big into bits that you can deal with in normal machines to split and stack it.

By 4th grade talking about preventing the spread of aids?

By 8th grade talk about abstinence and choosing to abstain after sexual activity. WTF strange 180 here.
