> 86% of guests who stay at a hotel for 1-2 nights use it, handily outranking other popular offerings like the in-room TV (84%)...

This is extremely nit-picky, but I wouldn't use the word "handily" here. "Slightly" is a better word for a 2% difference. The next most popular option was at 81%.

Another nit-pick is the part where they say hotels throw away "~440B pounds of solid waste — much of it soap and bottled amenities". How much of it?

Well, if hotels go through ~3.3m bars of soap every day, and hotel soaps seem to be about .5 oz each, that's 0.03125 pounds * 3.3M * 365 = ~38M pounds a year. That's considerably less than 1% of the total waste thrown away by hotels. I would describe that as "not much of the waste thrown away by hotels".

That doesn't mean it's not a worthy cause to reduce 38 million pounds of waste a year, or to provide hygiene products to people who need them. But, they might as well not exaggerate or overstate the effect as much as they appear to be doing in this article.
Even for the tap-hold functionality, there is kmonad.

However, I think expensive keyboards (like the moonlander or the planck) are worth it for things like "symmetrical" and "thumb can use more keys than just the spacebar".

Yeah that's why there is such a long history of showman starting successful rocket company and other successful high capital businesses.

Musk has never admired to having made up the funding. He settled the dispute because it lead to problems with Tesla credit rating, banks didn't want an outstanding dispute with SEC.

Yes that's exactly what the government collects taxes for. That is what say the Bergrettung does. Or what the Coast guard does if there is somebody lost at sea.

Also if somebody on an Antarctic base gets sick and can be evacuated they get evacuated - that is also exactly what you describe.

OFC there is triage but in normal time we have no medical triage aside from a very soft form of it in that non-life threatening and non-urgent procedures are scheduled and delayed as needed.

Co pays for non-elective are only rational if the amounts are negligible even for the most impoverished patient and then its easier and cost effective just to not haver them at all.
Crypto millionaires are pouring money into Central America
I actually don't know if we have to give you the final "credit score". I'm more on the technical infrastructure side. For our project though, it's my impression that we aren't aiming to provide the number to the customer (It's a ranking from 1-10, binned arbitrarily based on internal rules, so practically meaningless to any individual). The credit score can be manually overwritten by individual advisors, and may be adjusted to fit sector wide government mandated risk levels, so its use beyond internal calculations is limited.

We will rather try to provide explanations for specific decisions, so if we deny you a loan we want to be able to tell you what pieces of hard data we are basing that decision on. Try to make it actionable, instead of the opaque numbers that lead to a feeling of "the computer says no." It's still an open question of if we will be able to provide that insight.

Legally I don't know if the credit score, or any of the components (LGD and PD) count as "personal data". If it does, we are obliged to provide it. Basically no customers make those kinds of requests so there's not really any internal discussions around those questions. As far as my bank is concerned, I'm sure we'd just tell you if you asked. We're bad at secrets.
- depending on use case you don’t need to pay much to get these perf benefits (eg caching snapshots on CDNs)

- monetization depends on your business. How about B2B where customers are employees using crappy corporate laptops. Not like the only high value customers are using high end computers.

- and besides maybe you have ethics and don’t want to lock out people who don’t have the latest high end gear.

- flawless isn’t the point, better is the point
Taking Momotaro as a sort of baseline for high-end but not Omakase-only sushi in Chicago, akami is $7 ($14), chutoro is $11 ($22) and otoro $13 ($26). The otoro will melt, but the chutoro will have the same texture as the sake and the akami will be leaner and have more texture; all 3 are maguro, and all 3 are more expensive than sake. :)

I prefer sake to akami and chutoro; it is hard to beat otoro.

I can see how sake is a gateway fish! But the implication seems to be that instead of eating salmon, for the real deal we should be eating bluefin. That seems dumb; both salmon and bluefin are pretty boring, they all occupy sort of the same place in Japanese cooking as sesame chicken does in American Chinese food. Everything else is better!
I don't get it. There's already a ctrl on the left reachable with left pinky. What is missing is right-ctrl which you often need (tmux, vim, emacs...).
We have an Aldi's near me, and I have the exact same feeling. It's small, they don't have a ton of what I'm looking for and it feels like an EconoMart. So yeah, it's cheap in both vectors. That's fine, but not what I'm looking for.
And let's not forget that men used to be respected, for being men and doing those things. These days it seems the zeitgeist is they get nagged and complained at, and little wonder they aren't vested.
And that's not actually accurate. Even if you take the extreme interpretation of 'funding secured' he certainty didn't just wholesale make up the claim.
I've been looking for a set of instructions about how to set up an ssh app that doesn't open my computer to pwnage. Do you know of such a set of instructions?
At least in NYC, Trader Joe's is cheaper or comparable with other grocery stores. I spend about half there as I would at a whole foods for a weeks worth of food.
I will definitely give it a try.
Aldi and Lidl have captured every market they have entered. In the UK and Australia they have gone from effectively zero marketshre to almost 10%. Lidl does not operate in Australia but Aldi has high quality products not unlike Costco Kirkland products.

Every year in late May Aldi sells ski clothing and it is riot. They have to limit the number of people in the stores and the fights are crazy.
I use Dvorak and work on a diverse range of systems (rdp, Citrix, vms, etc). The biggest technical problem is random software not respecting your host OS key map. I also get bad knots in my back from unsplit keyboards.

Buying a dygma raise after two failed ergodox attempts (meaning my split keyboard attempts are probably close to $1500aud) was absolutely worth it. It solved both issues, the former by supporting programmability. I can also move the keyboard to random computers without issues.

Please consider buying a programmable keyboard instead of X11 hacks, i say this as someone who put up with the problems for a decade.
Just now, money is overwhelmingly better spent on top-line renewable generating capacity. There is no value in storage you are not generating enough power to keep charged up.

Furthermore, cost of storage is falling even faster than wind or solar ever did. Wait until next year, and you get lots more storage for your money.

Finally, batteries are good for very short-term storage -- their round-trip efficiency and fast response are unbeatable -- but they cost more than alternatives. For storage that you don't need to draw down every night, something you can fill cheap tanks with is better even if round-trip efficiency is low. Something you can also sell when your local tanks are full, and buy if they seem likely to go dry, is better yet.

So, expect to see a lot of anhydrous ammonia long-term storage. Also, hydrogen, and liquid nitrogen. And, lots of tropical sites synthesizing for export to higher latitudes in winter, and lots of higher-latitude cities importing it, via ship, in place of LNG and oil.

It is kind of surprising to see the batteries set up in Morocco, not in UK. That might be politics. Typically, storage is best sited near point-of-use. Maybe part of the deal is Morocco gets to use a share of the energy.
I was speaking in general. But yes, I think that it may be contentious occasionally, but mostly the states and the reservations try to cooperate. If push comes to shove, the states will end up winning, and the tribes know it. The situation they have now is as good as it's going to get, and it could only get worse if they fight viciously over every jurisdictional question.
Not to be confused with Chat, which is inside the Google Messages app, which is RCS.
There is a recurring cost to complex type annotations and that is that every single developer working on that repo (could be thousands) has to unravel the complex types, their aliases and the instance objects to modify any code.

This as opposed to a legitimate type system where complex types are classes themselves which don't need unraveling. There is no need to alias a type and there is no need to maintain separate complexities for the object and the type.
> Why do you think you need to uniquely identify all your visitors?

Why would I not? A brick-and-mortar store can tell when the same person walks in twice; it's easy to imagine webmasters wanting that too (to stay noting of having a chance of distinguishing real people from bots and scrapers).
Technically, that’s a bail-out. Has somewhat fewer rockets and high-g forces than an ejection seat.
Here's another perspective: bundle up Aldi and Lidl with the various dollar stores (eg Dollar Tree) and then argue this is evidence that Americans are increasingly reliant on discount stores so this is just further evidence of wealth inequality and living paycheck-to-paycheck.
Talk is cheap. Stock market is the place to test convictions. Pretty sure most of those people didn’t have skin in the game, long or short, either ways
Is there any applications for Linux which allow remapping keybindings on a per-application basis? I’d kill to remap chrome/FF keys, but afaict both browsers don’t allow this.
I wouldn't choose to raise my daughter in a place that would penalize or prevent her from getting the healthcare she needs because of other people's feelings about that care, and I certainly wouldn't want to be penalized for helping her, either. Same would go for any female in my family.
illness or injury yes, as that would prevent me from working, and earning the money I do today

Medical costs however would not the cause of my problems as even in the worst case I would be protected by bankruptcy laws would would allow me to discharge my medical debt while keeping my primary home, and a significant chunk of my personal possessions.
Modern ejection seats have a smoother acceleration curve than the early ones.
I don't think that's a fair interpretation of money or of what banks are doing.

Imagine that a business has $1M/month of revenue, mostly through a quote and purchase order system where the terms are typically net 30. Then imagine they turn to net 60 or net 15, either increasing or decreasing their cashfrow for a single month. The terms of the invoicing are debt creation. And all debt creation is money creation.

Thinking of money like swapping gold really limits the reality of how money has always functioned in our society. Money and debt are social relations, bonds between people, bonds between individuals and a larger collective. It's a human creation, that's been created again and again over time, and the idea of a money-less society is pretty much impossible to come up with.

We must think of money not as an external thing, outside of humanity, but as an essential part of what humans do and create.
Of course they were wrong. Just like how they buy the stock AFTER the announcement hoping that it goes up, but instead it falls. [0] Typical.

Always be skeptical of what is widely reported on the news and don't blindly listen to what is being said by the brainless parrots on twitter re-tweeting everything that they think is 'going' to happen. Especially even if this deal goes through. As I said before. [1]

As always, not even the most upvoted or top comments are correct either. It's yet another bias projection.

Yeah, this is the detail that is almost unheard of in the US. Grades of tuna. The bright red stuff that is so common is a dim shadow of what is possible with tuna.

On the other hand, cheap salmon is reliably good for the same reasons the expensive toro is.
I honestly never understood the appeal of Trader Joe's. I think I'm in the wrong demographic. It seems like they completely nailed their marketing and millenials/zoomers are like moths to a flame with Trader Joe's. I always viewed it as "Zoomer Whole Foods" but that's not accurate. Trader Joe's definitely has a smaller product line and are ruthless with underperforming lines. Still, it's a place I never shop.

It is interesting it's owned by the same family though.

Another big draw to me is that the checkout process is fast and efficient. Take a look at the packaging and you will notice the barcodes are massive to facilitate rapid scanning.
It depends on how much processed food you eat
Aldi and Lidl are German stores/brands that have moved into the US. Trader Joe's is an American-founded and centered company that was owned by an American (for many decades) and then bought by a German brand.

They're not exactly the same.
> While the replenishment of apps is practically something they can well justify, the 30 day timeframe is exploitative.

That does seem arbitrarily aggressive, especially since Apple has allowed apps that look terrible on recent iPhones for years.

As you said, Hawley (Stanford and Yale alumni), JD Vance (Yale alumni), even Trump (from a wealthy family and Penn alumni) are all political elites but also quite popular with the right-wingers. So it's not really about hating the elite, unless by the elite you means a specific subset of Democrat politicians and activists.

How many people would object to being operated on by a prominent Harvard surgeon because that person is part of the elite? How many would oppose their children attending an Ivy League or a selective and private university on the ground of being an elite institution? Do people hate engineering professors at MIT because they're elite or do they actually respect them because of their expertise?

"oh yeah they're all corrupt"

To be clear, I believe that the Harvard and Yale alumni and the other political elites who planned & supported the many coups of the 20th century, started the Iraq war (Bush admin), bombed Libya (Obama) into poverty, etc. are all corrupt and deserve our contempt. It does not have anything to do with corruption scandals either because it's a structural problem where politicians have to cozy up to the defense and oil industries among others to advance their careers and get paid.
I've been curious for awhile about whether Seattle gets much better salmon sushi than the rest of the country (like: enough that it'd be a reason to seek out Japanese food in Seattle).
The references others have given look pretty decent. It's not hard to do most stuff you likely have any real need to do. The main thing if you're used to calculators is that you have to handle exponents manually (in your head or on paper), your precision is limited, and you'll still need to do addition/subtraction in some other way.
Here's how I think of Aldi's: it's like real-life loot boxes. I mean you don't actually get a mystery box but for a lot of people they go to the store not knowing what there'll be and I think a lot of people like that. It's like gambling in a way.

This seems to really appeal to some people. I'm not one of them however.
There's really no reason to use AppEngine these days. I believe it still exists for legacy apps. You should be using Cloud run. Cloud run support WebSockets[1].

If you already have an AppEngine App you can always keep it and create a CloudRun app to handle the WebSocket part and they communicate well.

Charles Murray was on the ball for this as it was happening. He has very clear thoughts on it.
Can I ask a bit more about your experience with this? My son has ADHD, and I'm rapidly realising that many aspects of my life correlate with the symptoms, especially in adults.

But then I get worried I'm trying to make my square peg/round hole fit the the diagnose.

Are you medicated or having any other treatment? Did it have any meaningful impact/change to your adult life?

That reminds me of this story:

How is he 'unstable' exactly? He has been leading successful companies for 30 years and pretty much every company he has been involved in has been highly successful. He has never been unstable, just opinionated. And people don't like that so they call him psychologically unstable instead.

What he has done that is bad and why people hate him:

- Called somebody something bad on twitter once.

- Twits dumb memes with dumb humor sometimes

- Twitted about cryptocurrencies. People claim this is market manipulation to enrich himself without any evidence.

- Twitter 'Funding secured'. People believe this is made up, however it was conclusively settled. And even if it was not fully secured, there is little question he could have found the money. So not sure why people are so angry about that.

That seems to be most of the criticism I read. If that is the worst thing, I don't know what people are so worked up about.

Some leftists are angry he doesn't support unions, but of course almost no rich person (and many non rich people don't either).
It's funny the way things have panned out vs. the 1950s suburban utopia.

Gender-wise, ladies are out working, and cooking is now for anyone. Architecturally, many houses no longer have a traditionally segregated kitchen, they instead have a shared kitchen-living space. Increasingly, many houses also no longer have a formal dining table. It is clear that in future many houses will not have any kitchen at all, instead just a sink and prep area within the living space. These changes parallel macro-trends such as reduction in family unit size, increase in rent vs own, and aging populations, which are valid across many cultures in Asia as well as the west.

Recently we've seen a huge amount of money thrown in to the commodification of last-mile delivery for ready-to-eat foods globally, as well as a COVID-concentrated invest-fest in rapid groceries. Both are hitting limits. Perhaps the future is autonomous food prep, retail and delivery, because future, post-millenial, mobile and short-term-renting consumers may have reduced cooking skills, see appliance ownership as a drag, can't be bothered planning ahead for groceries for a household of 1-3, and don't own a car. Eventually cooking your own meal from scratch will be like building your own furniture: a quaint hobby for well-resourced enthusiasts. RIP, kitchen.
I guess I disagree with your taxonomy, and I think The Squad has wrestled with being progressives while also being unwilling to let identity issues go. I'm very pro-Warren, but I think if you look at the policies pushed not just by her but by the other women you named, you'll find a lot of economic and climate policy (I mean Green New Deal, come on).

The right-wing propaganda machine is very hard on ambitious women (as a former Hillary staffer I can attest to this), and it's definitely part of the plan to smear these folks in particular. I think we should be asking why there's a concerted, well-funded messaging effort against these women and not against people saying similar things like Hakeem Jeffries or Bernie Sanders. My personal view is that it's raw misogyny. And, frankly, I think you're repeating a lot of it here. In particular your use of the word "cheerleaded" is a pretty gendered criticism.

We're all misogynists, we're all racists, we're all homophobes, because of the culture we grew up in. But by introspecting on this, we're able to fight against it and create a fairer society.
What a repulsive argumentative style.

which could have been made in the initial comment, but then parent wouldn't be able to Other the grandparent for the heretical belief that people can work together at scale. The parent simply knows better. Even when the grandparent cites what Sikh society verifiably does, which is simply a cultural reorganization of existing resources, not a remodel of the human heart, and certainly within the power of much richer European and North American societies as they now stand, let alone what at-scale automation could provide -- it's never addressed because that's ackshually a commune. Which, as the astute reader will learn by reading further, doesn't work, 100% of the time. In fact, they're "anti-ethical". [0]

Ehh, I doubt you could distinguish the difference between a majority of 2nd generation Hispanic-Americans and "white" European ancestry people, by worldviews or looks (because the Hispanics have European ancestry too). Just look at the leading politicians in Texas, Ted Cruz and Beto Orourke and tell me which one is Hispanic and how it makes any difference. And this indistinguishability will only increase over time, where there will still be a "white" majority including most Hispanics, as the census currently does.
Services like this make it trivial to land in court, because they nudge their customers to collect data under the pretense of error analysis, a valid business interest not requiring consent, and then use the data for behavior analysis and profiling. If, as a user, you can't turn of the later without damaging the former, you got sold shit and should take your business elsewhere.
Companies in the US don't like open protocols or standards, and will push their own proprietary systems in the hope that the market adopts it so it can be licensed to everyone else that wants to use it.

Ideally, cars that need to drive on roads with human operators should be depending on their surrounding and conditions, not some secondary signals about those surroundings and conditions. As long as roads go through places that people live and work in, humans will be on the roads as drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, etc.
