Well, on the other hand you hopefully have a deeper appreciation of all the assumptions and approximations that make up the implementation of boolean logic underlying our computers.
Except in the real world where said metrics wouldn't integrate meaningfully with the dozens of other devices that collect similar "useful" data into their own proprietary little gardens of infrastructure.
Obsolesence and device defects - I can imagine a saddle has a useful life of a couple of decades.
What are you really going to measure here beyond GPS and accelerometer data? The temperature and humidity of the saddle/horse interface? The strain and weight on the saddle? That'll allow you to report useful stuff like "your horse is tired and about to overheat", "you are to fat ride this horse", and the ever popular "this saddle is the wrong size for current horse/rider combo, please contact a sales representative". All the while taking in the views through the new and improved augmented reality interface on your smartphone, or hmd.
I mean why even have a horse at that point, it seems if you don't want to pick up on the communication from the live animal your riding, why not get a mud-bike.
This seems to result in every plane leaving either empty or delayed.
Realistically it would have to be done with an interval of boarding. Whether this interval is known to the passengers or not I don't think matter.
So boarding is between 10:00 and 10:30. The first passenger to arrive after boarding starts will be the first to board, since they would be at the end of the line at that time. And so would the next one, and so on.
Sure, it's unfortunate if nobody answers the phone, or is not there to open a franchised store etc.
I just don't buy into the whole 11 workers do 10% more work than 10, or that 8 hours is more productive than 7.5. In any business that is, not just "brain work". Far-east sweat shop exempt.
I actually never managed to get past a boss fight (against "the gunther" of dx:hr) where my mods got disabled. They got disabled because I got greedy and installed a free mod that got advertised to me. So there was that. Whether it actually made a difference or if I just really suck is up in the air.
Another theory (at least on this side of the pond) goes something along the lines of:
After people got access to refrigerators and freezers and such it was no longer necessary to hide the taste of spoilt foodstuffs, and thus it became high fashion to make your food as mild as possible to show off your fancy new fridge.
And as more and more classical information in one region of space has to be simulated (Allude to wave-function collapse), less and less information is possible to know about distant matter and events, which looks like universal expansion to our mortal eyes, but it's actually our instance scaling down.
