I'm not an expert, and don't have an opinion on container homes being a good idea or not. But the linked article seems more focused on why containers are not a good idea for multi-family apartments, affordable housing or hotels. It doesn't speak much to why they're not a good idea for single family home and non-stacked residences.
On the iPad they have the ability to create virtual SIM's and you can select from a list of providers, including one-time payments to activate an account for X amount of data.
Apple could move to something like Google's Fi easily with the virtual sim capabilities...
Apple doesn't need AT&T anymore - the original exclusivity was because Apple didn't want any carrier interference (as carriers love to add their logos to handsets, install crapware into the firmware, lock-down settings and features, etc) - none of the carriers would agree except for AT&T, who demanded an exclusivity period to compensate for the risk of loss-of-revenue from evil things like only allowing photographs to be sent by MMS.
Texas is HOT, and humid in parts, with barely a breeze. California in the Northern parts is not that hot, and all of coastal California has a nice ocean breeze keeping things cool.
I think you're right. Average annual high temp in Dallas is 77 degrees F. It's 64 for San Francisco. Obviously would need more analysis, but there's certainly much difference between the two northernmost significant cities. Though the article cites mostly industrial use as the difference.
Is average annual high a useful measure here? When the high is around 77° during those amazing couple of weeks in March and October in I never have to turn on the heat or AC. The AC is running all day in July and August though; especially the 50% of days hotter than the average high of 95°.
Houston's urban geography is not appreciably different from that of LA. Other than it's a lot cheaper. Yes, the weather is terrible and there are no hills or mountains.
Well, now, a simulated heartbeat implemented in a pacemaker and connected to a pump does cause real blood to be pumped.
A real brain adds real numbers, and so does a computer brain. A real brain composes real words, creates real emails, issues payments, requests shipments. Those are not less real than the words, emails, procedures, payments, and shipment requests that computers make today.
I should have said, A simulated heart in computer does not pump real blood.
The thinking involved for a person in issuing shipment is not same as what computer does. These are not simulations. Just similar looking interface. Like a animated cartoon human, compared to a human.
