This doesn't always work. I had a similar problem with Chase, and the charges kept appearing on the new card. Chase explained to me that the charges can follow the person, not the specific card number.
Noise can be blocked out for the most part: either noise-cancelling headsets (or turning the volume up to 11) to get block out noise-based distractions. But silence or not, what is more disrupting to me are the interruptions from email, slack, or a coworker (or boss!) stopping by or asking a question that could have waited. The real problem is task switching and if it knocks you out of flow it's a productivity killer. Sound can certainly do this too, especially in pet-friendly offices where the pets don't get along with each other, but I digress...

Buy a cheap PM detector (There are a few on Amazon using the Plantower sensor that are ~$50.) Buy any HEPA air filter for your home. Buy the best cabin air filter you can for your car (Bosch makes HEPA filters for some cars), and try to get your office to install something, or just buy one for your desk.

The hard math of it is that no matter what you do, you aren't going to be able to reduce your exposure by more than 75% or so, because you have to go outside sometimes, so going super high end on filtration makes essentially no difference in terms of total exposure.
That was the part that really jumped out at me as well. I've had the same problem before and this is a genius solution.

Switch to a new charge account, close this one.

If they ever pursue the debt, make 'em prove it and only pay if they have proof.
That's an awful lot of work just because Amazon can't charge the right account.

It also doesn't necessarily solve the problem. The charges could accumulate in their systems until Amazon hands them to a debt collector, or the bank might helpfully transfer them to the new card anyway.

People care about the person it comes from because of so many calculating posts. You'll see a single entity argue against regulation that hurts them because "regulation is bad" and then later argue for regulation that helps them because "we need to set boundaries on what people can do." If you can get X% of the population to support repealing any regulation and a different X% of the population to support passing any regulation, and Y% of the population doesn't care about regulations that don't directly affect them, then the unprincipled will get exactly the set of regulations they want, so long as X+Y > 50.
Intel's competitive advantage was, for many years, their superior process -- always far ahead of the competition. For reasons that aren't clear to me (still an Intel investor), Intel's process advantage has stumbled.

I informally interviewed with Intel's process engineering in the early 2010s and was amazed to grok that they truly viewed Moore's law as a target. The job looked extremely stressful, as a new miracle was required roughly every eighteen months, and every piece of the process had to work, or the whole line would fail. Intel's (and modern chip-building in general) fabrication work is truly astounding.

Intel's real competition is Nature, and Nature gets exponentially more difficult.

We all know that one can make statements that while factually correct, can be misleading, distorting, or unsound in some other way. (e.g. The statement "the divorce rate is highly correlated to the per capita consumption of margarine" is factually true [1] - but left on its own might leave people with the impression one has to do with the other)

[1] http://tylervigen.com/spurious-correlations

The same is true here - leaving out the context that FedEx has spent ~$50b on capex in the past 10 years and recognized $8.2b of income tax expense in the same 10 year period (which is not all US fedral, and might not have been the amount remitted over that period) changes the tone of the story. Additionally, really all that is happening is that tax collections go down a bunch in one year and up for the following six years, the only gain is on time value of money)

The licenses you mention are not Free Software licenses because restricting what people do with their software (and not just how they share it) violates rule 0.

> Why can't a license restrict my freedom to build closed applications with free dev tools, in order to prevent the creation of closed software that likewise restrict others' freedom?

It can.

If just won't be a FOSS license by the traditionally understood definition of FOSS. For better or worse, the Free Software definition guarantees more freedom around end-user usage than it does around how you distribute software.

And maybe you think that's an arbitrary distinction. That's fine. You can build anything you want. You could build your own "Software Equality" or "Extended Copyleft" movement, or whatever you wanted to call it. Maybe it'll be even better than FOSS. The only thing you can't do is confuse people by calling your licenses something that they're not.

Nobody is upset that SSPL, API Copyleft, Parity, CAL, and Icepick exist. They're all fairly interesting licenses. I'm glad that they exist. Just stop trying to co-opt a movement and blur lines that have been clearly understood for years.
I want to dispute the claim that public transport does't work anywhere. Specificly for the points you mentioned:

> Forces people into public transportation oriented life schedules

In my city almost all busses run at 10 minute intervals and the trains to other cities run at 15-30 intervals. Whenever I go somewhere I just go to the station and the next one will be there shortly.

> Is unfriendly to those with disabilities

Every region in my country is legally obliged to have transport available for the elderly, disabled or chronic sick. My grandparents can order a free taxi-like service with trained personel and accommodated for wheelchairs etc.

> Is unfriendly to those who do shift work

Agreed, at night not much runs here, but there are other options available (nightbus, taxi).

As for the "massive overhead", I dont quite understand. The concentration of passengers and required infrastructure should lower overhead, economies of scale and such. You mention the situation in Tokio but to me that sounds like they need more public transport, not less. The trains there transport 40 million people every day [1]. In contrast, there are only around 4 million cars in Tokio. I dont think there is physically enough space to fit an additional 10-40 million cars, even if they drive themselves.

So this is really just hiding active record's methods in a model from the rest of the App?

I don't really understand why this would be an advantage in a large app.

It's more explicit, but then you have to slow down and add all those wrappers for active record stuff. I can also see it getting annoying/confusing if you have a mix of normal models and these models in an app that you are not familiar with.

When I think of and create a model I think of active record as part of that public interface. And unless I want to restrict stuff I would want the default to be exposed.

Yes, it listens for LayerTree.layerPainted events, and queues a screenshot on that. It also queues screenshots on other things, such as on "clicks", "scrolls" and a few other interactions.

After Screenshots are queued, they're throttled to a low framerate, and then each frame is compared with the last sent, before it is sent to the client, and dropped if there's no change.

No, a newspaper doesn't sell eyeballs.

They create a medium the advertisers want to advertise into.

They "own the eyeballs," as it were. They create the newspaper that people read.

Google does not own the eyeballs, they are an aggregator but they loudly point out that users could switch. Let's acknowledge that users are not likely to switch away from Google websites, Android, etc. but it's as if Google snatched the newspaper and stuck advertising stickers all over it just before you read it in the morning.

Japan has this... a common design is to have the bathroom sink drain directly into the toilet's water reservoir, so the grey water is used for the next flush. No changes to plumbing needed, since it's all built into the fixtures.

Admittedly, there is a bit of a psychological hurdle to washing your hands in the toilet, even though the water is isolated and perfectly clean. (This could be solved through clever plumbing, to separate the two fixtures.)

> rural residents would be happy with cheap gravel roads they can afford

doubt it. regardless, federal government revenue goes disproportionately towards funding rural services and welfare, including many services that city residents don't use at all. federal funding of a city's transport system would still not shift that balance.

Almonds are a red herring where California crops are concerned.

Around half of California's agricultural water use goes to alfalfa, a fodder crop which may be grown anywhere.

Israel uses subsurface drip irrigation to grow almonds, which is more than ten times as efficient as California's flood irrigation system.

The problem is not inherent to the crop; it is political, and downstream (pun intended) of California's approach to water rights.

There are many more media companies, employing far worse in the standards of journalism, making more money. Even if you can make an argument that their standards have slipped they still aren't Buzzfeed.
Market value of public companies is not determined by the balance sheet but by the stock price multiplied by the number of share. Buybacks reduce the number of shares and by increasing demand increase the price per share.

In the first step, the market value is a constant, taking out the number of shares thus increases directly the share price. Which are than further increased by increased demand and increasing the market value as now the number of shares is constant.

So yes, buy backs directly increase the market value. Why else would companies do them? They also have the nice side effect of increasing the value of execs' stock options, again a nice motivation for a CEO to do a buyback.

> But that isn't what they're talking about. They're talking about laws against selling user data, which the ISPs are doing (so there is a strong lobby against passing a law to prohibit it), but the tech companies generally aren't.

Yes, Facebook totally got caught selling user data.

> To prohibit what the tech companies are doing you would basically need a law against collecting user data, or something much more invasive and specific about what it could be used for than "don't sell it", and that's a whole different debate. Because then you run into problems like entrenching the incumbents by creating a complex regulatory environment that only huge tech companies can navigate. Which is why opponents try to tar them with "selling user data" instead, which is a lot easier to define and be opposed to, even though they aren't actually doing that.

Intel isn't as diversified and MS or Apple. Intel used to have a de facto monopoly on hardware because migrating away from x86 was very costly and offered no benefits.

But now there are tangible reasons to move away from x86. The industry spent the last decade doing the heavy lifting to make their software cross platform, which has allowed companies to not only easily move from x86, but to also create completely custom hardware. Intel's customers are also their competition.

I will be seriously impressed if Intel manages a pivot, because, as far as I can tell, they don't have a secondary business to fall back on.
I think this is one of the best things you can do to make the Linux CLI more accessible.

Once you get a bit further into the OS and what you can do I find vim to be an important tool to learn.

>Do we have a way to know if fedex did this?

This is answered in the first paragraph of the nytimes article: "In the 2017 fiscal year, FedEx owed more than $1.5 billion in taxes. The next year, it owed nothing. What changed was the Trump administration’s tax cut — for which the company had lobbied hard."
This can happen sometimes if you get a new credit card number (but the same account). If you have a reoccurring purchase, like a subscription, the billing was already authorized, so the new charge is automatically applied to the new card number.

If you get a completely new account, that can't happen. I'm not sure what happens if you get a new card from the same company (like getting a brand new Chase account). I'd guess it would depend on their backend as to if new charges followed you.
