I don't recall ever being screened for any of the anemias. One of my late cousins was anemic. It was the cause of his death (couldn't get an ambulance and blood transfusion in time). If it is genetic perhaps there is a chance I am a carrier??? Anyway the yellow urine didn't last too long if my memory serves me well (week or two at most) and I have been relatively healthy since then (touch wood). As I result of having had yellow jaundice I was told I could never donate blood.

Are you sure that the Amex coverage actually stacks with the extended coverage purchased through Apple care in your scenario? (ie does it kick in at month 12 or 24)?

Edit: found a link with some information https://www.uponarriving.com/amex-extended-warranty/#Warrant...

“The question gets a little tricky when you’re talking about Applecare. Amex should provide you with two additional years of coverage with Applecare since plans are usually 2 to 3 years. The issue is that some have reported they were denied coverage since Applecare was considered secondary coverage”

There's a big penumbra of people who were sort-of killed by heat. For example, I was biking through Europe this August during the heat wave, and one of our group suffered a heart attack. He'll recover, but the paramedics told us that they'd responded to two fatal motorcycle accidents that day, probably caused by the riders getting heatstroke and losing control.

When you include cases like that, and you should if you're trying to figure out how important it is to avoid global heating, the death toll goes way up.
No, this isn't correct. For instance, any drop has a chance of being "painted" and among painted items there's an equal chance of any of several colors. However, because of demand, Titanium White painted items are much more valuable than, say, Burnt Sienna.

Well to buy a domain you need to go to an accredited registrar for the respective TLD. And DNS registrations, renewals, etc. are standardized (and have TLD-specific policies). Also, you're entitled to transfer your domain name to another registratr, etc., also with a public and transparent protocol. The registrar will then arrange for their nameserver being registered as authoritative for your domain on the TLD's root domain server, etc. What's the problem with US ISPs here? That they're selling DNS query records (with your IP) against their nameservers? That's in the same territory as Cloudflare and Google, and will only stop with proper privacy laws; certainly not by giving up on the decentralized nature of DNS and giving all traffic/signals to Cloudflare/Google.

Same thing happens in Poland. There are only 4-5 rather small cities with good jobs + shitload of skilled and unskilled Ukrainian immigrants (like really, there are days when I walk through town and 80% people I pass by speak Ukrainian) + Airbnb craziness + no regulations + shitty politicians = it became impossible to rent or buy even small apartment if you are not highly skilled or not willing to share room with someone you don't know. It all happend in last 4-5 years. I was born in one of these towns (Krakow) and it just hurts me to see huge division in society, clearly there are lots of rich people that are getting richer every month, buying multiple houses and renting, and there are shitload of (some of them university educated) people living in tiny old Soviet era apartments (imagine whole family and dog in 400-450sqft). Actually many people don't even dream about own place. Both my parents and my grandparents were able to buy apartment without having any sort of education, today if I wasn't Software Dev I would be homeless. We are talking Poland here, can't imagine how much worse it must be in other actually real countries.

An "advance" is just that: payment advanced against projected sales, and hence, per-volume royalties.

The publisher generally calculates the advance based on projected sales, and that's often all the money an author will see, though if an advance is "earned out" (sales exceed the projection), the author can earn additional royalty payments based on a percentage of the per-volume sales price. The usually cited figure is 10%, though this may vary.

TL;DR: Snowden is guaranteed the advance, but may earn more.

Yes, I've cashed in on coverage before. It kicks in at the expiration of the original manufacturer's warranty. That is month 13 if no AppleCare is purchased and month 25 if AppleCare was purchased.

In my specific case, they paid me on an iPhone at 23 months (when no AppleCare had been bought) and two MacBook Pros in months ~40 on which AppleCare had been bought.

The lack of affordable housing always has been and always will be a supply problem. When demand for homes outpaces the number of homes being built, prices go up. Plain and simple.

Homes that are built for renting (mainly apartments and condos, but some houses, too) are built for profit. If you make it less profitable to build, fewer will be built. If fewer homes are built, the problem is compounded, not rectified.

If you want to make housing more affordable, make it as cheap and profitable as possible to build new homes. Get rid of the fees that can push over $100,000 for a single family home in some counties, before the builder even buys a nail or 2x4. In most states you can build a home for less than the price of permission to build a home in some California counties.

There was literally the exact same claims being made about kids being turned in to gamblers by pinball games decades ago:

“New York mayor Fiorello La Guardia was responsible for the ban, believing that it robbed school children of their hard earned nickels and dimes.[41][42] La Guardia spearheaded major raids throughout the city, collecting thousands of machines. The mayor participated with police in destroying machines with sledgehammers before dumping the remnants into the city's rivers.[42]”

Perhaps the people can again seize the means of production (part of that being stable housing).

I’d far rather know another 100,000 units are owned by the people that live in them than 100 landlords owning and profiteering from those units.

If this “disrupts” the entire rental industry, that’s fine with me. Didn’t bring much value anyway

That's massively regressive. In the United States, poor people don't own significantly fewer cars than rich people. Jay Leno is a rare exception.
I wasn't clear. In Europe, part-time employees get their time off pro-rated based on working hours, while full-time ones get minimum required by law (20+ days per year, depending on country). Plus additional ~10 paid public holidays for everyone.
I know a few landlords and that’s exactly what’s happening. I’m not sure why you find it hard to believe.

When you have a 3 unit building and everyone is paying less than 1/3 the market rate, it’s not worthwhile in the least for a landlord to fix up the building beyond the absolute minimum. Contractor rates have skyrocketed in SF, so even just repainting the building might cost $15k, which might represent several years of profit.

It depends on how big the Rails app is.

One app I work with has 40 top level gems and about 17,000 lines of Ruby code (which goes a longs ways in Rails). It's not "big big" but it's not tiny. It takes under 10s to boot up. I'm sure if you have a Shopify-tier app it takes much longer, but a majority of apps aren't at that scale.

I was just throwing out examples and I'm just trying to say not everyone is dealing with cases where Docker's added 2-5+ seconds isn't a big deal. For a Flask app those few seconds make it ~20-50x longer to start up due to Docker and for a majority of other frameworks / average app sizes, it's a non-ignorable amount.

It doesn’t need to be phrased as a question. Also, it’s an inanimate rock.
I don't think it is the same though. With pinball you pay 20c or whatever, and you get to play the game. That's it. It's like paying $100 for an entry ticket into a bike race - you pay, you get to do the activity, the outcome is "random" in that it only depends on your own skill and external factors. With sticker packs the contents are truly random, there is no skill involved, you literally don't know what you are buying.
It could also be crazy high housing prices driving crazy high salaries. Assuming people turn down offers due to differences in cost of living.

feu·dal·ism

/ˈfyo͞odlˌizəm/

noun

the dominant social system in medieval Europe, in which the nobility held lands from the Crown in exchange for military service, and vassals were in turn tenants of the nobles, while the peasants (villeins or serfs) were obliged to live on their lord's land and give him homage, labor, and a share of the produce, notionally in exchange for military protection.

I see. The parent poster implied that there's no need to pick a username, and that he logs in with GitHub. That implied that it used your GitHub account name, since I don't see another way to enforce unique names.
By mentioning large bureaucratic structures like corporation and calling them "non-human actors", I wanted to focus your attention on the fact that behavior of a group of people working together, cooperating and competing with other such groups of people, is not well-predicted by looking at behavior of each individual involved. Much like you don't reason about a computer system by looking at what each transistor and resistor does - instead, you look at aggregates as a unit (CPU, power converter, ...), at aggregate's behavior (firmware) as modulated by the information and energy flow within the system.

I'd say it's systems thinking 101 - the behavior of the system is nothing like the behavior of individual components, and is defined primarily by the interactions that happen.
Sadly, that is not the case where I live. Mostly new companies, where the Java stack is not prevalent. No jobs to apply to, no one willing to even look at someone with experience in stacks other than their own. Not everyone lives in SF.
That is interesting. I've not had my claims denied. I even had it approved by showing that I bought AppleCare 11 months after buying the MacBook Pro in 2011. I attached scanned copies of both receipts with the claim and was approved.
That's not the same thing. I like ice cream but it's bad for me. I don't like having to pay for it but it's probably good for society that ice cream makers are rewarded for their work, at least if I want to be able to eat more in the future. The world would be a literal paradise if doing thing we like and doing good things were always one and the same thing. I don't see how you can discuss morality and ethics without "good", "bad", "right" or "wrong".

IMO the problem with modern political discussion (especially online) isn't vocabulary, it's lack of nuance and empathy. "Good" and "bad" are not really the problem, but rather when you only classify things are either completely good or completely bad with no middle ground.
I agree! I get the sense that many more people would build ADUs and rent out units if they knew they had more control over them. I’m not saying we should get rid of all tenant protections, but could make them a little more fair for the owners.

>Max Baumhefner, staff attorney of the climate and energy program at the Natural Resources Defense Council, says the reality is much different, because most of the 1.3 million EVs on the road today were bought as used cars. That’s because they’re typically bought on leases, then sold used after two to three years to low- and middle-income people, many looking to save money on gas, he says.
I don't really see how I'm competing with real estate companies and landlords, though. How exactly do they inflate demand for housing?

I mean, if there's 5 properties for rent instead of sale in the example I gave you still have the same core problem.

If 100 people need homes and you only have 50, then the people with the most money they can/want to spend on housing will get it.

It's attenuated by the willingness of people to have roommates, move in with family (if around) etc. so there can be more latent demand than is immediately present. Even if you have no homeless but a whole city is 4 rich tech workers per 3 bed apartment, there's still plenty of demand.
