Why would teleportation necessarily be faster than light?

Last time my son got a flu test it was $180. This time he was sick and school needed a note so I went to the Dr. They asked if I wanted a flu and covid test. I said, "How much will it cost?" Nurse said "I have no way of knowing that."

I said, "No. Unless you tell me how much it will cost." She walked out in a huff to go get the Dr.

How are we supposed to "let the market sort out the cost" when we can't see the cost before the bill?

If that is true, then how is it possible for software to determine the difference between a commercial and content? They are streamed from a different source. I'm suggesting that YouTube could encode the commercial in the same stream as content, and as far as the player is concerned, there would be no difference.

Why can't YouTube just render the video on the fly with the relevant add?

Are you even tangentially familiar with US history? US citizens have historically been right up there with Nazi level hate. Racism didn't just go away. It just became illegal to own slaves.

I have terabytes worth of family photos and videos going back decades. Imagine trying to find one in you email. Yikes.

Google photos backs them all up for me for a couple buck a month. Every single one is available on my phone in seconds using their creepy good search tools, without taking up any phone space. That's good enough for me.

I had 3 babies and spent $0 on video monitoring. Your baby will be fine. Don't fall for the advertising drama. Babies have been fine for thousands of years with no electronics.
