Maybe the last mile problem really should be thought of as the last mile opportunity.

Now that last mile,

This is the last mile.

So, how do we tackle the last mile?

So this is what you call a last mile problem.

The last mile is, everywhere, problematic.

And the inconsistencies create, fundamentally, this last mile problem.

That's what I'm talking about as a last mile opportunity.

Be kind of lonesome going down that last mile.

How do you use your million to solve this last mile problem?

But you know what we do on the last mile?

Diarrhea, and many last mile problems, are like that.

So, let me now talk about the last mile problem.

Now that last mile, last foot, in a sense, is the first step of the infrastructure.

Bolivia, however, may be poised to buck the latter trend.

The fact is, the last mile is the problem, and half the world now lives in dense cities.

Here I have a bunch of other examples, all suffer from the last mile problem.

We encourage the authorities and the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina to find the strength and the will to complete this last mile.

Nine hundred and ninety nine miles went well, the last mile's proving incredibly stubborn.

What we need for ending energy poverty are last mile retailers that bring these clean energy products to the people.

Leaning

So we have slope intercept.

So they're telling us the slope, slope of negative 1.

See what's really puzzling and frustrating about the last mile, to me, is that the first 999 miles are all about science.

So they have the same slope.

So this slope right here, so line 1, so I'll call it slope 1.

Leaning

Leaning Leaning

That's slope right over here.

But how do you put this into point slope form?

So this is in neither point slope nor in slope intercept form.

And we know we have a slope of 4.

So it seemed to me that somebody had to work on that last mile, and it was dumb luck.

Many of these deaths were completely preventable, and this what I want to think of as the disconcerting thing, what I want to call the last mile problem.

You can see here the slope is downward because the slope is negative.

So let's put it in point slope form.

And for a line, this will always be constant.

Perigee (km)

Inclination, deg

Slope is equal to 0.

And we have our slope.

Where is the slope?

So the slope is equal to minus 3.

You see their slope.

This isn't about the biology of people this is now about the brains, the psychology of people, and innovation needs to continue all the way through the last mile.
