And when they are handling the logistics, they also get the benefit of just giving a full refund for whatever reason they like. It's nothing out of their pocket, and it makes them look good to the consumer. So, why not?

They also get to look at all that sweet data and if any one product or group of products starts to look too good for those small 3rd party sellers, they aren't afraid to just drop right in on top of everyone and push their own product to the buy box everytime.

After which they will drive away most of the 3rd party sellers before starting to creep the price upward.

I can't think of any user friendliness benefit for this. Are you thinking about component cost?
Control/ownership/structure aside, the interesting line here is:

"The financial disclosures make it clear that WeWork — which, it should be said, is a commerce office leasing company and not truly a tech company"

Lots of tech companies (eg uber) take VC funded losses to grow at tech startup rates. This can create unsustainable business models and mask sustainability issues. But...

..But, in tech, the potential payoff driving all this investment flow is getting to a monopoly (in the Thiel sense). Out of this world business models like Google's or FB's that generate massive revenue with near-zero marginal costs. Software economics, basically. The winners win incredibly big. This makes the massive-multiple investment case rational.

Tesla, WeWork and such have much more normal, non-software-like economics. WeWork will never lease office space for that much above market rates. No matter how good Tesla's cars and/or manufacturing tech gets, they are never going to sell cars at a 40% margin^. That's why Elon had to sell all the Tesla share and take loans. It takes a lot of resources to build factories and cars. Office space can be leased, so WeWork hasn't needed as much financing, but it comes out of operating margins instead.

You basically cannot achieve software startup money-machine goals with atoms and marginal costs.

^Self-driving aside.
The problem is that you don't get to opt in and know in advance so you don't say anything confidential over a call. If they gave users a warning then I guess this whole thing wouldn't be blown out of proportion.
BMW is local to Munich though. So they'd lean more towards BMW than Mercedes. I'm thinking it might be Mercedes having more leg room or being more comfortable on the back than BMW, which have always been marketed as driver centric.

Psychedelics and amphetamines are in a very large majority (not taking into account weed which is very common with anyone who does any drug). But people do all kind of drugs in some percent. For example I had one friend who once per year took heroin, but only once. He has a very normal and responsible job and a career.

You are right on oppression. Not threatened but indirectly (KGB) oppressed. In a level that people always "censor themselves" before speak.
1) That's what a lot of educated people do. Leave for better country.

2) Impossible. Anti-government people near to nonexistent inside country. Killed, jailed, tortured - dead.

3) Very difficult and long term project. There are several influential people which are managing the president of Turkmenistan. Wiktor Hramow, Aleksandr Žadan, Wladimir Umnow - all of them are jewish "dark" people. (Source: https://www.azathabar.com/a/24338115.html) They already have a system in place for electing or killing the president. I don't know too much details but they are the one designing political agenda of the country.

4) It is not possible without external support. Turkmen people are very mildly mannered.

Personally I do not support but 4 seems like only option.

For many manufacturers, a great deal of their sales come from distributors (the great majority of retail is still brick and mortar).

They can't compete with their customers. Many manufacturers have started selling direct as well, but they usually sell at a bit of a premium to avoid undercutting their own customers.

It's just bad form to do that. And large retailers like Walmart will usually stipulate that you can't sell it cheaper direct.

Undergraduate EE is more of a mathematical modelling track that happens to result in buildable circuits, which will probably work reliably and do what you expect because you've modelled them correctly. It's not so much about hands-on tinkering, which is why not many courses include metalwork or enclosure design.

It's also not about creative EE - clever solutions that use the minimum number of parts, as opposed to average solutions that do the job but aren't outstandingly elegant. IMO you either have a talent for that kind of design, or you don't.

Production Engineering - mass producing buildable circuits and enclosures for the minimum viable price - is a different discipline again. The distance from a breadboard or soldered prototype to a shippable mass-produced product is huge - which is why so many Kickstarter projects come unstuck.

Production Engineering was literally mentioned once on my EE course, and that was all we learned about it.

I had minor hearing loss after a festival, went to an ENT around 72 hours afterwards and was prescribed steroids

After a week my hearing was back to normal, so at least in my case it worked (although I guess there's a question of whether it would have recovered anyway)
The process is the same for my Cree Connected bulbs and my GE Link bulbs, except a bit shorter (2 seconds on, 2 seconds off, repeat 4-5x). I was able to reset a dozen bulbs in just a few minutes, to pair them with a new hub, by just flicking the light switches (that control banks of bulbs each) without removing the bulbs. Having to remove each bulb and individually reset it with a paperclip would be less convenient.
People with double arm amputations can also drive but if you or I decided to go out and drive with our feet it would be stupid.

That was his point, as soon as your client is no longer your client you poach their engineers on behalf of your new clients. It might not work exactly like that with you, but I bet a lot of recruiters have no moral qualms about poaching from an ex-client.
The license plate may as well be printed with the exact pattern you see on screen, and the assumption that it’s a low resolution sampling of some higher density information would be false. Any additional information derived from it is conjecture, however based on reasonable assumptions. By ”enhancing” the image you may gain information, but that information doesn’t inherently relate to the information you lost.
I had a normal TB 3 years back. I was 22 years then. I have forgotten the drug names I took but it was 6 pills per day to be taken at morning with only half glass of water. I took that for 6 months. I am from India so not sure if any advanced country treats normal TB with less number of pills. But what I can say is that taking those pills in daily in empty stomach was unbearable, many times I thought to giveup but the love for my family kept me going. I can't imagine what those people are going through who are taking 40 pills a day. If FDA approved Pretomanid then in my opinion they should take more people into the trial.

Some elderly people who live alone like the TV on for company - in many cases they aren't even watching it properly, they just have it on in the background to feel less lonely, like there are other people in the house with them. The article even alludes to this albeit in negative terms "this includes time spent engaged in other activities while the television is blaring in the background". But it is a very different pattern from being "screen-obsessed" and "waste hours ... fritter on chat-shows and repeats of soaps". I think the author could benefit from showing a little more sympathy towards people who have circumstances different from their own.
It's tragic, for example the German government is weak on environment because, well, VW (including Audi and Porsche), BMW, Mercedes, and their many suppliers. They're afraid of manufacturers having to lay off workers...

I've started tilting the bin at a 45 degree angle, and sliding the bottles in. Seems to help somewhat.
I was surprised to see that this was the only comment specifically calling out loneliness (and although you didn't call it out by name, depression).

Maintaining a social life takes work, maintaining one into your 70s even moreso; particularly if certain sacrifices which were seen to be necessary at the time were made to raise children who later leave.

Divorce is more common than 40 years ago (I'm not taking a moral stand here, I'm all for leaving toxic relationships but friends are often lost as collateral damage), and grandchildren less.

Social media and television are to our social lives what fast food is to our need to eat.

I'd speculate that if you normalised for loneliness the screen use by age would become a much flatter line.
Call me cynical but this is a blatant cash grab. I had the misfortune of going to two of these "museums" with my gf and I can confidently say that once you've gone to one, you've gone to them all.

They really only have < 10 exhibits if you can call them that and they're herding you like cattle from one room to another to sell you junk at the end of the hall. For that price, almost any real museum is cheaper and infinitely better.

It's mainly because I'm trying to write everything in Swift now rather than Objective-C. I still think Objective-C is a great language, but Swift is the future of iOS development.

It was easier in Objective-C as you could just rename your code file with an extension .mm rather than .m and that made it Objective-C++ and then you could import your C++ headers and use your library as you should. With Swift you don't have that option, and even the interface to C is more difficult.

Even with Objective-C there is still some work in converting data formats (NSString to std::string etc.) and you need to be careful of C++ exceptions and NSException.

Thanks! Yeah, I occasionally considered not including undos and redos, but there's so much positive value that easily outweighs the occasional negatives. Just a couple of the things I love about including them:

1) Much of the general idea is a sense of connection and intimacy -- it's not just the final product that you're sharing, but the process. When you see the mistakes, or the attempts to get something just right, it's a moment of connecting with the sender's experience while making it.

2) You can make emotionally evocative doodles by removing elements, so they're only present fleetingly but not present in the final image. (Examples of this are by friends I haven't thought to ask permission to share. But think: drawing a small plant, then undoing and drawing a bigger one, for several iterations, for example. You can sometimes do that by "erasing" the part you want to remove by drawing the background color, but if you want to remove something that's on top of something else, undoing is so much easier.)

DeltaLake: A clever solution to a big (data) problem
A first party is a website that a user is intentionally and knowingly visiting, as displayed by the URL field of the browser, and the set of resources on the web operated by the same organization. In practice, we consider resources to belong to the same party if they are part of the same registrable domain: a public suffix plus one additional label. Example: site.example, www.site.example, and s.u.b.site.example are all the same party since site.example is their shared registrable domain.

A third party is any party that does not fall within the definition of first party above.

This policy doesn't distinguish between companies that own multiple top level domains. I understand that it may be technically hard to figure out but at the policy level are two domains owned by one company really third party to each other?

Are example.com and example.us really always different first parties? What about apple.com and iCloud.com? Or those redirect chains that happen after logging into google such that login cookies are set on youtube.com and whatnot?

It does say 'in practice' but I feel like this is mistaking a technical limitation that it's hard to know if two TLD's are controlled by the same legal entity for a policy.

I was a child at the time, but by all reports CNN’s breathless reporting during the first gulf war (1990–1991) was terrible. More generally every time I have ever tried watching CNN it was a very low signal:noise mix of sensationalism and gossip, without much if any serious analysis and with very low density of factual information; from what I understand that is what it has always been since its founding. Fox News was founded as an explicit propaganda channel in 1996. CNBC has always been a pro-corporate business channel. Etc.

Cable news has never been okay. Maybe you are thinking of national news programs on broadcast TV at some point in the past, or e.g. the PBS News Hour?

It would be conceivably possible to spend 24 hours/day on real hard-hitting video journalism, serious policy analysis, deep interviews with experts, etc., but the format doesn’t really lend itself to that. Instead every show competes for low-information channel surfers.

There are rare cable news slots like Maddow’s show that are more serious than the rest. But those could just as easily be hosted on some other kind of station, and they’re still far from what they might be if given serious resources.
I also think Bond was probably more influenced by the wartime SOE (which had all the gadgets & action) rather than the more cerebral world of the SIS.

An aside: I’m pretty sure I saw the death of a satellite in full visual glory, three nights ago. Was watching for meteors, and a large bright blue streak came in heading due south, looking slow and shallow, and left a smoke trail visible through binoculars. Same plane as I see a lot of polar orbits on from here. I’ve searched to see if I could find anything known that was deorbiting then, but couldn’t. The fireball would have started somewhere over Spain (was looking south from France), probably ended in South Atlantic. I thought I’d mention it here, as if anybody has a clue, it’ll be you lot.
