Its a great service in that regard. I've traveled the US fulltime including remote camping and hiking with Fi for a year and it did great.

The plans are a bit expensive and I don't like how when you run out of unlimted data it becomes unusabley throttled for even basic browsing.

This new plan is a complete disappointment because I was often torn between the $20 + $10/GB (too expensive per GB IMO) and the $70 for 22GB 'unlimited'. Now they offer $60 for 22GB but no tethering. I'd rather have the old unlimited still and I was tired of guessing which months I'd have little data use so I could switch to a cheaper plan. Many times I guessed wrong and paid $80. Other months I picked unlimited and used only 1.5GB.

I like Fi. I like how easy it is to manage via the app. Changing plans is easy, e-sim is great. I think i'm switching to visible or mint though after a few years of Fi. $10/GB doesn't make sense and $70 unlimited is just a bit too uncompetitive despite Fi being a nice provider otherwise.
Agency for Global Media has their own law enforcement that investigates threats against the agency and it’s personnel. This ranges from securing HQ against protests to investigating what happens to broadcast infrastructure in war zones like Afghanistan to securing classified information.
Yes, I can. Note however, that this is not a USB dock- it's Thunderbolt.

In my particular case (literally just tested this) I needed to enable Thunderbolt boot support and change the security level (I have my thunderbolt settings pretty locked down).

Booting off both a USB drive and a TB drive worked.
This is much better than it was before, but Visible is $25 w/ party pay and includes unlimited everything, although tethering is capped at 10mbit.
How did you get access to Chegg? I thought of buying a subscription to check for cheaters, but there were complaints on the net about Chegg charging credit cards on canceled accounts.
I don't think storing the mime type separately is better: That requires every system which you might use to transfer or store your documents to support storing the mime type separately as well.
It's kinda better if they know there will be a backlash and go ahead anyway out of evil or whatever.

It's considerably more disheartening to think that there are people out there with this level of power with no fucking connection with reality.
I wonder if there is any value in supervising the boat if it has no power... No power means no engines, no lights and no radios. That means even if the boat was robbed, there is nothing the supervisor could do about it.
"Basic cell chemistry" is a term that is very reductive. Long-held wisdom is that we don't eat animals that have died of natural causes. But a dead animal's cell chemistry is largely functional for days to months after its death.

So yes, I would argue significantly more heavily processed; edible plants need to be biologically viable in order to be useful for food production. That is not a guarantee that it will be safe or good, but as a heuristic I think it's a solid one, since the changes are within the bounds of the variability that is achievable through natural reproduction.
If the minimum down payment grows it gets harder.
Heh and here I was worried about my weed shipments from California. Would iCop be the same organization that enforces that kind of thing?
What towers / network(s) is Google Fi serving from in the US? T-Mobile/Sprint?
Your friend shouldn't name and shame the boat owner.
There is a reason you don’t release on Friday, but I agree, releasing while on a vacation may actually be worse
I can confirm this... happened when texting to US from Korea a few times last summer. the message just ... disappeared?
Spectrum Mobile offers unlimited for one line for $45, so does Xfinity Mobile I believe. Better deal for us loners.
Gold was not a universal currency, and it wasn't a currency in common use.

You could pick up a history book, and you would learn that gold was almost never used as currency because it was simply too rare, and too valuable for the amounts traded in normal commerce.

Rather, silver was the currency of choice in Europe and most of Asia, with lower-value denominations eventually showing up as coins made of less valuable metals.
The fault here is ultimately with egypt. They were not letting him leave, they took his passport and not even letting him get 'deported' back to his home country.

This is not from outsourcing, this is Kafkaesque bureaucracy created by Egypt itself.
For these kinds of subscriptions, I just use privacy's virtual credit cards, makes it very easy to stop recurring payments if the company makes it a pita to cancel.
Coverage is pretty good. It is great for traveling abroad as it just works in most countries.

However I'm looking to leave because Google's terrible handling of Hangouts which many used for SMS messaging. Hangouts also allowed phones calls on computers, a feature I will miss.
In a state without civil rights, a hair to the side of a dictatorship, people don't have civil rights.
I made an account just to share _my_ experiences with a Dell XPS 9300, Dell WD19TB and one Dell U2719x Display, running the latest Linux Mint, in Cinnamon flavor. There's a reason, I'm spelling out Dell so many times here, because my expectations were that such an all-company-x setup would work out of the box with the least amount of problems. Sadly it did not. Currently the setup is workable, but what I've experienced in the half year I'm running it was nightmarish. The thing wouldn't power up, screen would black out and not come on again during meetings, display must stay on all the time (no power safe), sleep is impossible because the system won't come up again or go to sleep again after a few seconds of waking it up. Web research has lead me to believe, that I'm not the exception, but rather the rule and there might be a reason Dell is still sending out firmware updates for the XPS and the dock (which in general is greatly appreciated). I have to add, the Laptop sits closed in a stand behind the screen, which might contribute to my problems, but I just couldn't let this 100% recommendation stand here without an opposite experience ... I hope this it's working out better for everyone else, but this is my "story". Dell support is no great help either and a time investment I am not happy to make anymore after several tries.
Do they pay $30 to you for unlimited data about you?
Oh no that'd be a terrible design:) AFAIK the most difficulty is that you might have to use `zpool import -f` to force it to ignore the pool not having been cleanly exported.

EDIT: It'd look like this: https://serverfault.com/questions/964075/how-can-i-recover-m...
Ok I have 2 friends. How easy would us all be to switch over to this plan? Can we all keep our same number? Can all of us do the process without needing to leave our separate homes?
A short work by Ted Chiang that got me asking the same question: https://nautil.us/issue/75/story/the-great-silence
I've used it for ~5 years.

I feel like I'm always the one with service in a group when we're out in the boonies, though Verizon folks definitely have their moments.

Dropped calls happen sometimes, I guess, I wouldn't say it's worse than cell service in general. One big annoyance is that my phone defaults to calling over wifi, so leaving home after starting a call basically requires hanging up and recalling. I think you can turn this off.

Data always seems fast, but I never hit their billing cap.

MMS fails silently sometimes. This includes group texts.
verizon has real unbounded unlimited 5G for $30/line for 5 lines contract
I live in the Northwest, and T-Mobile has great coverage in the cities, and along the interstates. Sprint has some additional coverage on smaller state highways, but neither really cover 'the mountains', or the coat, or other rural areas much. I wish I could take this up, since my 4 unlimited Verizon lines cost $45/line, that is $720/year in savings...

edit, nevermind, no tethering with the $30 plan. So it would be the same cost as my Verizon plan.
You can still use voice for these things. It's not hangouts, but it does work great.
It seems hazardous to rely on Google for such an important service

That's great advice for me - a person who's not going to register his palm anyway - but what would be your advice to Amazon for how to deal with this? Or what would be your advice to someone who wants to use their palm with a different credit card once their palmprint has been lifted and used to commit fraud?
> Radiation on Mars is at least half that of being in space because you have radiation from one half of the "sky" blocked by the planet itself

You have to get there, which exposes you to a lot of radiation. And then you have to live there which exposes you to a lot more, no matter if it is "half" that you would get if Mars was a one-faced world WRT the sun.

Also, how are you going to get these diggers, their fuel, their support systems, etc, etc, to Mars that will excavate holes (lovely to live in) or cover things (ditto)? Why would anyone want to live like that, or worse, condemn their children to do so?

I used (in the 1960/70s) to believe in the colonisation of space. But now not at all - it is simply too difficult. And that's the answer to the Fermi Paradox.
Sure, but the 19th century ended over 120 years ago. So that's kind of not relevant to how they're structured and operate today?
Read a story of a ship's captain, stuck on the ship at anchor in New Jersey.

There is a mariner's charity in Greater New York that would help out. They would post a bond with ICE and drive the sailor to an airport or another ship.

Well, whether 9/11 security or what, they weren't allowed to do this. So the captain had been on the ship for over a year.

So, yes, it can happen here.
Is it actually unlimited if it's just 22GB?

Most carriers offer unlimited data now that becomes deprioritized at a certain point. That means that if the network is congested, other customers are prioritized above them. However, this isn't deprioritization. This is a plan that is throttled down to 256kbps.

Before the return of unlimited, most carriers got rid of overage charges and just slowed phones down to 2G speeds.

Given that Google Fi is just T-Mobile service, this doesn't seem that interesting. First, it's not $30 for a single user. It's $30 per person for 3+ users. I could sign up for T-Mobile Essentials for $30 per person for 3 users and get 50GB of premium data and then just be deprioritized after that rather than slowed even if there isn't congestion.

If you need more than three lines, T-Mobile Essentials is actually cheaper. Again, you get 50GB of premium data and beyond that you're only deprioritized rather than throttled so most of the time you get a full experience.

This new Google Fi plan doesn't include international so it's not like it has that going for it.

Visible from Verizon offers $40 unlimited for a single line down to $25 for 4+ lines - taxes and fees included, and each line gets separate billing so you can share with friends/strangers. Google advises that taxes and fees will be 10-20% on their plans so you can expect that $30 to really be $33-36. Visible's data is lower priority on Verizon's network so things might be slower if there's congestion, but you don't get throttled harshly at 22GB like Google Fi.

There's a huge difference between getting deprioritized and getting 5-10Mbps during congestion and getting throttled down to 256kbps. One still feels like unlimited with the caveat that people paying more might be given some priority. The other simply isn't unlimited. It's a 22GB data plan where you don't get overages, you just get a nearly useless phone. Heck, with deprioritization, most of the time the network probably isn't that congested and you won't get any ill effects.

Without the international roaming, what's the point of Google Fi? It seems like it's just a more expensive plan that isn't unlimited.
This is an incredibly interesting deal, but the thing is I don't know how long the service would last with Google's rather infamously short product life.
I like talking to strangers, the stranger the better. Keeps me grounded as it's a good reminder of how my experiences and knowledge are not really as universal as I often consider them to be.

It's also kind of good training for my sometimes social anxiety; For some weird reason strangers don't bother me that much compared to people I have some actual relation with.
Visible is $25/month with Party Pay for a 4-person party. The key is each party member gets their own bill so there's no risk to forming a party with random people. Easily done on Reddit.
Well, assuming everything goes according to plan we are reaching the peak and housing will have to go down again. I don't know when this will happen, it could happen within 5 years, it could happen no earlier than 10 years.
Well I'm talking about decisions about different things by different people 1) running exams (institution level - run centrally), 2) creating bespoke purpose-designed online courses (mostly department level). The decision about exam invigilation was made at the institutional level, where 10 is a small number of online students for a course, and they have dozens of courses to worry about. For most of the institution's courses, other solutions don't scale, and for the institution as a whole they definitely don't. The course with 10 online students may only run online this year, and it takes hundreds of additional hours to make a purpose-designed online course (we're doing that for other courses where the material will be reused).

The oral exams I moderated didn't seem like they could scale past 20 students. The reason our online students are online is almost always because they are overseas, and the majority of them have limited English. In that context, orals are discriminatory, stressful, and very slow.

I'm in NZ. Our universities have mostly been operating in person as normal (i.e. costing just as much) with far fewer international students (who bring in money), except in addition we have comparatively small numbers of resource-intensive online students as well, and are attempting to bring parts of entire degree programs online for the first time.
Building software products like building physical spaces
I'll be the cheapskate that asks....I wonder if you can get on the $30 plan then switch to $50 just for the month that you'll be travelling abroad?
Not only do I zoom in all the time, I also, you know, use my operating system's capabilities to put the page into a non full screen window, sometimes even a small (especially narrow) one.
Those are some good deals, also Teltik, a service of T-Mobile, has unlimited with unlimited tethering for $40, they may ask for a screenshot

So does this allow google to then harvest all of my data emanating from phone calls/browsing etc?
Can't help thinking of W.A.S.T.E. though.

This is brilliant work. I've been playing with this for the last half hour and have found cool papers that I otherwise wouldn't have. To me, this has a great edge over google scholar and lens.

A wishlist:

1) To be able to share maps with fellow researchers, not as pdfs or bib files, but as a url to the map so that they can interact with it. I can see that a "share link" is possible for an article, but not for a custom map. Such a link could also be used to embed such maps on sites like how one can with plots from https://ourworldindata.org/

2) To be able to get more metadata like sponsor, country, etc. like https://www.lens.org does.

3) To be able to upload pdfs and annotate them. I can see why this is dicey, but if possible, would be great to see an integration with something like https://fermatslibrary.com/margins

> It's currently in early access so it's free to use, and you don't need to create an account to get started.

I know software developers need to eat and totally respect your choice in making it a paid service in the future, but I will confess a deep desire for such a thing to be affordable, if not free.
I'm surprised by the comments here. People seem clueless to real threats the USPS faces and are puzzled why they have inspectors.

Last year or maybe it was 2019 a delivery worker was murdered. Agg robberies of delivery workers has been going up. Breaking into mail boxes and mail theft has been going up. Using mail service to conduct fraud and other criminal transactions is going up. I'm on mobile so it's hard to get the links but just google it, not hard to find.
yeah, I really don't see a majority of apple users ever leaving the apple ecosystem because imessage is supported on Android and vice versa. What I do see is that Android users that aren't part of the apple ecosystem at all using it and now Apple has their foot in the door with these users.
It's an issue if the data's public.
The new rules have not been written, voted on, or enacted, so who knows. But under the current law, yes, capital gains count towards your total income.
Postal inspectors can hand off to other teams for investigation of affairs that might affect more than the post system-- hence this memo.

If postal workers are at risk then it's within their purview (as it has been for over 200 years) to investigate and warn local offices in addition to other government offices.
> Now you need to have 3 files open in your editor

Are you saying that isn't already the case? Do you inline all your CSS and JS directly? Because that'd be super weird.

> Wouldn't this also detect non-disappearing transitions (say, an element expanding or changing color)?

The event comes with information about which class the transition was for. So: sure, but if you have lots of different transitions we're no longer dealing with simple code that we can write simple "vanilla vs. jquery vs. your lib" code for?
That's the whole point though: it's a puzzle for the brain. If it were explicitly spelled out the fun would be lost.

Personally I think of art as programming using symbols that have been previously uploaded into the audience. Incidentally, this is why sometimes it is easy for art to cross language and culture boundaries, and sometimes very hard: it just depends on whether the symbols are something universal for all humanity or specific to a particular culture.

In Russia in particular there is a common view that poetry should:
- rhyme
- have a flowing rhythm
- be very literal/descriptive

and there is certainly a lot of good poetry like that. But sometimes artists break rules for fun. Stepanova to Pushkin is what Aphex Twin is to Mozart. Just have some fun with it and don't worry if it fits into preconceived notions of what is good poetry.

In the spirit of fun: have you noticed that there are two sets of sentence breaks in the poem, one on the line breaks and one at the punctuation? This actually changes word association and the imagery. Think this was an accident?
Not with proof of work.
"touted" has a positive connotation to me, so it doesn't sound right to tout negative aspects of something. But the meaning seems clear.
Thank you! I am hazy about the relationship between USB-C and Thunderbolt, but this information motivates me to go and find out!
Unlimited free international data, text and calls for the Plus plan sounds really convenient for travelling, no need to swap to local SIMs. Can you bump your plan up to that for a month in the app, and then back down, hassle free?
If you're working in Tech in Germany i'm sincerely sorry for you. Go literally anywhere else.
Stretching the definition of "high development" here a bit (but since you're considering China and India) Belarus still has the death penalty (they were executing at least 1 almost every year until 2020).
Agreed, Apple wants to avoid Microsoft's failure with trying to splinter a desktop-oriented OS for all form factors. I tried to like Windows 8 but found it too confusing and frustrating to use.

While we might all like the idea of device convergence, the technology is not fully there yet. The new iPad Pro with M1 could be a sign of the future but Apple recognizes that adoption needs to be deliberate and slow - especially when there's millions of users at stake.

Ideally I'd like to see a "desktop mode" akin to the Samsung DeX announced at the upcoming WWDC. This would allow users to use their iPads as desktop replacements in a truer sense, together with keyboard, mice and an external monitor.
USPS is the new DEA
Really wish they'd start supporting Canada. I recently moved to Canada from the US, and I have been using my US Fi number here in Canada too, but I'm dreading the day they will reach out to stop services on my number. (You cannot permanently use a Google Fi number outside the US right now).
Actually, Chauvin's actions did not have to be the only cause of death. Reckless actions only had to contribute in order for him to be guilty. The fact that there were drugs involved or other medical conditions merely establish that he may have been easier to kill than a healthier individual.

You only need to be very sure that what Chauvin did was reckless and unreasonable and also very sure that had Chauvin not knelt on his neck for nearly 10 minutes, that Floyd wouldn't have died at that same moment anyway.
Next, what if someone publishes something that disagrees with IBMs values? Perhaps they are COVID deniers, or homophobes?
Google Fi is now just T-Mobile service given that Sprint and T-Mobile have merged.

T-Mobile's network has gotten quite good, but there will be areas where Verizon or AT&T are better (and there are areas where T-Mobile is better). T-Mobile is still integrating the Sprint network, but when they're done in around 12-18 months they'll have significantly more towers than competitors. They likely will still be working on expanding into some more rural areas, but within their footprint they should be very strong. T-Mobile will also have more spectrum which means more reliable service since there's more capacity.

Google Fi is upfront about data throttling. At 22GB, you'll drop down to 256kbps. The plan is really a 22GB plan that doesn't have overage charges.
I forgot about the Three California books, although to be fair, I could spend an entire newsletter issue writing about KSR and climate change.
Vaccine Breakthrough Infections with SARS-CoV-2 Variants
Google Fi auto-switches to use wi-fi or cell network to even receive normal phone calls. I suspect this technology is not perfect and because of that I've faced lots of issues when someone tries to call me but I never get ring on my end and after a few seconds I see a missed call from that person. That's super frustrating to deal with.
It's for people that still trust Google in terms of long term reliability for whatever reason. They think Google won't randomly shut down the service, offering a bland support page for help porting their number to a new carrier (with a gift card thrown in possibly).

As good as Fi sounds, I just can't see it lasting.
It's already rising in the US, if the central bank figures out how to meet the 2% goal year over year it will raise the interest rates in a few years. Probably not before 2024 though.
It's not accurate to call astaxanthin just food coloring. It's the actual source of pink color in flamingos/algae/shrimp/lobsters and it's certainly not unhealthy.
