Buffalo Trace has an Experimental Collection where they try to isolate one variable in the aging process (temp, wood, mash bill, rickhouse location, etc.). It's interesting if you can get access to a flight of them, but they're pretty rare and expensive.
That sounds highly unlikely, the one that came with my MBP supports everything up to Thunderbolt. But USB is ridiculously complicated, and sometimes better cables fail on shitty devices; I've seen it a few times with camera equipment where I really needed the cable that came with it because higher specced ones just didn't work.
There are, but less so in the American market for some reason. Hitachi and Mitsubishi are pretty good.
> I think everyone is aware of how housing prices are kept artificially high by agressive zoning restrictions.

Taxing property as apposed to just land misaligns the economics enough so that land becomes a financially useful hedge asset, like gold.

So the rich, and large funds, all create demand for land beyond its practical use.

This also keeps land prices artificially high.
Building your own bayesian model with something like pymc3 is also a very reasonable approach to take with small data or data with too much variance to detect effects in a timely manner. This also forces you to think about the underlying distributions that generate your data which is an exercise in itself that can yield interesting insights.
Very cool slice of life, thanks. I didn’t imagine in 2009 that even a single university would have been invested in COBOL.
Professional wine tasters are proven to be full of shit from top to bottom time and time again, and yet they still have careers, it's still a very wealthy industry, and people still give them the time of day. Pretty wild.
I’m not sure saying credit cards should be harder to get is the correct stance. I saw a paper talking about the rise of payday loans came at the cost of pawn shops. Basically there is a lot of demand for short term loans, I would argue that better access to credit would help many people greatly.

The only thing I’m unclear on is how to avoid the predatory aspect. I’d assume that part of the usury terms of these kinds of loans is a response to such small amounts. Just paying the hourly cost of dealing with the transaction could put a $200 dollar loan into 5% territory without taking into account any risk profile.

I’d be intereted in running experiments similar to cash giving charities. Measure how much a $2000 line of credit does to improve lives (hopefully without making them worse).
my recipe:

1 lbs jalapenos, 4 cloves garlic, 1 tbsp of salt, 2 tbsp of sugar, 1/4 cup water

blend - wait 6-7 days on the counter - check every day for bubbles.

simmer 15 min, 1/4 vinegar added at the end. Strain through a mess for less grains.

put in a bottle. I like it less sweet, but still enjoy the fermented taste. Getting a solid bottle is important.
Yikes! I wouldn't want to provide that as a shell argument.
This uses propane [1]. Many millions of people and I burn methane to cook and heat our house so propane is not that a big change but I don't expect that we'll be able to put its piping inside our houses except for a short length.

If you’ve written about this on a blog somewhere, I would love to hear the lowdown in detail as deep as you wanted to go.
That... doesn't say anything about them exhaling less? It specifically says that they exhibit the same. You can make a logical jump to say that, combined with a high variance but statistically significant link to self reported symptoms, that maybe vaccinated would have people that self report lower levels. But, that is specifically not in the comparison that you quoted. It says only that vaccinated and unvaccinated are not distinguishable.

It might be a very European view to the problem but: Why does the American government does even tolerate this credit card garbage business in the first place ?

We are in the 21th century. Most payment can be validated electronically and processed under 200ms. I can pay something with my phone and get money taken directly from my bank account within seconds. There is absolutely no need of Credit Cards where Debit Cards can perfectly do the job.

So Why ? Why sponsor a system that fuck up entire families and push vulnerable people to suicide by giving them a way to pay things they can not afford in the first place ?

Why tolerate an entire industry of debt management that put people to their knees and bring literally Zero value to the real economy ? For the sake of few profits in Wall Street ?

This is complete nonsense.

I understand why the credit card business was born in the first place: Amex, Visa and MasterCard has been invented in a time where electronic payment was still a dream.
In the 60s, indeed, holding a debt record to every card holder was probably the only way to get a non physical payment system to work in the first place.

We are not in the 60s anymore. A cashless payment system does not need debt.

So: Why ?
If you go really expensive, I don't think that's always true. SubZero keeps the same model fridges for years (although some of the parts do change), they come with a diagnostics screen, and they should be repairable.

When you’re homeless, it’s hard to get mail, and hard to keep your stuff; going from nothing to your standard documents is tricky.

To get your birth certificate, you need to write a check to the state at some address where you’ll be able to receive mail in 2-4 weeks.

Once you have that, you can go into the social security office and request a replacement social security card. Which they’ll mail to you in 2-4 weeks. There’s also a lifetime limit to how many times you can replace your card, which is surprisingly small.

State ID cards also get mailed to you. Moreover, you need to provide proof of your address, and the address gets printed on the card. We used my address, but no good deed goes unpunished - the address on your ID card gets published in the paper when you’re arrested. Then my nosy neighbor asks if everyone is alright because someone living at my house got arrested for possession of meth.

On top of each of those steps costing money and being hard to do when you’re homeless, there’s a dependency chain. You got to do them one at a time.

Navigating the public bureaucracy is an annoyance for someone in what patio11 calls the professional/managerial class. There are other social strata’s where it’s a virtual impossibility without help. That’s important to keep in mind when you’re thinking about welfare bureaucracy or voter ID laws or anything like that.
Shouldn't be so surprising, just as many people (hopefully much less) are arbitrarily consooming product as are pragmatic—especially in a severely lame economic environment—when it comes to the value something brings into their life, and usb-c to any pragmatic person was probably the most relevant inconvenience to getting the most value they can out of their device.

I've never owned an iPhone, and mainly think of the phone I do have as at best a minor addition to my life, but put a battery-efficient modem in my mac and I'll be all over that, because it lets me keep my phone off almost all the time.

Aside from that though, it's always neat to see incremental innovation anyway, but it would all be superfluous to me even if I was in the iPhone game.
Also they're kinda.. boring? Like visually appealing diamonds have become so commoditized you can buy them at grocery stores. Like it's not even a status symbol anymore in any sense of the word. You're the only person who will know if you have some super rare expensive diamond, we could play the game of "Is it Jared or Neil Lane?" most people won't do much better than flipping a coin.

Assuming a ring is important to you the only things you really need is a metal that's sufficiently soft so it'll be comfortable to wear 24/7, won't rust, and (optionally) some stones you think look cool. My engagement ring is alexandrite and moonstone because I thought the color changing was cool. The reaction I get from people who see it is this weird combination of "wow that's so pretty" and "for some reason I don't think I'm allowed to do that for myself."

AR is promising, I could see myself wearing glasses and drawing on a wall with other users in the same room right there. No stupid stylus to lose, no shaky wiimote thing, just my given hand to write, as I normally would. Then I click the share button next to my graphic to send to people’s phones who don’t have their glasses on.

It’s the immersive goggle, drawing on virtual wall that isn’t there that turns me off. I think we’re going to find that tactile feedback is important and if a computer is an extension as people say, it will be in this world.

Pokémon Go is probably the best example of AR success. It made use of a device we already have.

If heat pumps are pretty much "fridges with reversed orientation" why is it that they're so much more expensive compared to them?

Genuinely curious about this. Do they have to use different materials? Is it because they have to be outdoors? What is it?
I wonder if it's possible or worth applying an xsl stylesheet or transform on this? Or would it create usability issues for dedicated readers?
what a reductive comment. I am not going preface my reply with "i made wine" for extra cred but I do drink wine and love going to places like sicily, burgundy and ryoja just for walking around and touring wineyards.

Once every couple years this happens and somehow it invalidates all the nuance in the winemaking world. You premise of getting what taste good is the right approach. Everything else is noise is unnecessary.

There's a difference when a wineyard switches winemaster, or start using frappato to substitute for cab due to global warming. Or the 20/21 chianti classico is so different in profile than the rest of the previous years that's it's shaping up to what might be a golden vintage. or how 2020 from napa just isnt worth risking due to smoke taint. Or back in the 90s how mondavi and Michel Rolland almost ruined french wine due to everything being tailored chemi-made to be strong and oaky.

There're stories yes. There're also technicals. And experimentations. Just like every other sector from tech to fashion.
> The welfare system requires more than a minimal amount of paperwork, [...]

Sorry, I meant that there's a certain bar of competency with paperwork you have to meet. (But exceeding that bar is possible, and can be useful.)

I did not mean to make a statement about how big that bar is.

A 'minimum' does not have to be small in absolute terms. But I realise that usage was confusing.
You can still do this. In fact, it’s even easier since the construction of the new mezzanine beneath Moynihan. There are glass windows on the mezzanine looking out onto the tracks beneath. If you’re good at differentiating train set for your train, you can easily spot your Amtrak train as it pulls in and head down to the platform well before the track is announced.

Knock on wood, but I’ve never had anyone give me so much as a sideways glance for this. The red caps will let you down early if you ask for assistance anyway.

Singapore has many systems, rules and laws that would not and could not work elsewhere. It's great that it works for them, but it doesn't work in the USA, or most other countries. I will point out that they are an affluent, monocultural, somewhat xenophobic, authoritarian and borderline fascist city-state.
I don't know about Samsung refrigerators, but if you've got ice at the bottom of your freezer, it's probably an issue around the drain --- either the drain is clogged or the drain heater isn't working well enough to keep condensation liquid and the ice then blocks the drain. I had this problem and was able to figure out the drain heater just needed to be bent a smidge closer to the drain, and then I haven't had a problem since.
It might though; lots of boilers are combi systems that do your hydronics as well as on demand hot water. For example another air-to-water system that competes directly with the one in TFA:

Bosch is pretty good. Miele too, but they're more expensive.
They used to sell the case, and each airpod separately (with the total for all three being the same as a new pair), but it looks like they stopped? It was very useful when I ran over my airpods case with my LandCruiser, and it got a bit wonky (but was amazingly still fully functional).
Counter-counter-point, they may well be better served by a lightweight UI that doesn’t require JS.
That's a zero sum game. It just increases the value of that debt.
A lot of credit card companies offer cash back or redeemable points towards other purchases like for travel. If credit cards are used effectively (you pay back every statement balance) and the merchant isn't significantly raising the price of goods or services for transaction costs, you can make a serious amount of money back, easily in the amount of thousands of dollars per year from normal everyday use.

Edit: When I was referring to "transaction costs," I was referring to merchant fees
I suppose you're heading east. If not, exiting through the new Moynihan hall - 8th avenue side - is a totally different experience.
I don't think this article is saying that "gas station wine" tastes as good as "fancy wine". It's not talking about quality. They're making the point that cheap wine can be good.

So yes junk wine is junk, but not all cheap wine is junk.

I do however expect for this particular instance, they spent a lot of time finding a particularly wonderful €3 wine - while the vast majority at this price probably are distinctly less good.
Was, maybe - i wouldn't touch anything Samsung with a ten foot pole.

Household appliance we got are all Siemens/Bosch (same group - BSH) and i couldn't be happier. They last a long time, are reasonably priced, available and if you go all in price-wise also got the latest and greatest and fanciest features...
Because it stimulates the economy by making it easier to consume. Without consumption the whole house of card falls down.
My third place is the local hackerspace. This has been the case since 2010, except, perhaps surprisingly, for the few years when I lived/worked in silicon valley. Weirdly, hackerspaces don't seem to work the same in silicon valley. Everybody is too busy at their tech job to have any energy left to spend free time building stuff purely for fun, and real estate is too expensive to allow for affordable memberships. When I went to the local hackerspace, the few people there were busy working on their own startup and nobody was talking to anybody, they weren't there for fun, they were there to work. Noisebridge and Ace Monster Toys were better, but too far away (SF and Oakland, respectively) to be convenient. In other places I've been (Texas, Virginia) hackerspaces seem to work a lot better as third places and be more fun oriented. I chalk this up to less intense work environments and cheaper real estate.

> That’s important to keep in mind when you’re thinking about welfare bureaucracy or voter ID laws or anything like that.

Amen to that. Though luckily while it's huge problem for the former, it doesn't matter for the latter. (Because individuals by and large don't benefit from being able to vote. Voting is at best something altruistic, individuals do out of civic duty.)
I don’t know the answer to your questions. But I do know this. People generally are weary of using their debit cards for transactions because of the security and the direct access to bank accounts. We don’t have chip pin. And if a fraudulent credit card transaction appears there is generally a lot of consumer power to get that removed, after some time. But a fraudulent or simply inaccurate debit transaction happens to you can lose a lot more. And overdraft fees can cost hundreds of dollars in a bad situation.
Fridges cool a smaller contained space and don’t need as big of a compressor. ACs need to dissipate a lot more heat and you need to move that heat outside. You can get a decent mini split AC for $500 these days, and pretty much all mini splits have the valve to reverse the flow to make it heat pump.
They are already separate but ’equal’.
> Why are you drinking alcoholic beverages if you don’t care about getting drunk?

For the taste? If I could get my favorite wines, Scotches and beers without the alcohol- WHILE retaining the exact same flavor- which I admit is likely impossible, I'd never go back.

Dunno about the GP, but I stopped "getting drunk" in my 20s

It's not just the announcement videos, it's also all of the WWDC recordings. Technically they're pretty good, much better than the api documentation, but just deeply unsettling.
It doesn't really make consumption easier.

In any case, you can just print more money, if people in the economy aren't spending enough. (In more formal terms: the central bank can control nominal gross domestic products.)
My father uses heated water to run this through his radiators and floor heating. Heats the space in the winter and chills it in the summer. Warm water is just the carrier.

But those thousands of dollars are effectively subsidized by every one making a credit card purchase (e.g. merchant fees) - and not everyone being able/savvy enough to utilize them well

Consider how much cheaper things might be across the board with lower fees

That money still comes from your spending with the merchant, so ultimately out of your own pocket.

But you are right, that the system is not very transparent, and merchants probably seldom give people the full discount of the costs saved when they use non-credit card payments.

When it comes to safety you play on the safe side, not the dangerous one. I don't share the philosophy of amateur submariners and I've had my fill of their hollow and reckless arguments. A handful of humans (a few hundred watts of compute) succeeded at devastating the world from 1939-1945. AI already knows more domains of knowledge, is faster, and does not require 20 years to spin up each new instance.

Millions of people have counter top ice makers in their home that use propane as a refrigerant. If you have a gas line that brings gas to your stove, having a heat pump circulate that same gas as a refrigerant isn't much of a stretch. Especially if its replacing a gas boiler.

Money does not grow on trees.

From my understanding this cashback systems come from two sources:

(1) Money taken on processing fees on Merchants themselves.

(2) Money taken from the interests of debt from the people screwed by this entire system.

The first one is just an hidden tax and garbage profits made possible only due to the monopolistic behaviour of credit card companies.

The second one is just plain simply immoral.

But it forces you to think and then write, instead of the other way around, by adding more cost to mistakes. As foe handwriting there have been studies that showed that handwritten notes are better memorized rhan computer-written ones.
On the other side, if you are privileged enough to be financially stable, in the USA it’s best to pay for every single thing with a credit card.

Aside from the points and rewards, credit cards are much more likely to reverse fraud transactions. I’ve had banks deny fraud reports and demand police reports while credit cards always reverse the transaction no questions asked.

Actually it’s best to not even have a debit card in your wallet if it’s linked to your main bank account - the only debit card I carry has access to an account with a hundred dollars or so just in case I need cash.
Samsung S20 ultra. It's been almost 4 years and it feel amazing. I replaced my Pixel when its battery got down to about 6 hours. Unfortunately the Pixel couldn't be fixed any more in my country.

Samsung is really popular here so I'm hoping if I just replace the battery when it gets bad it can last me 4 more years. It's honestly so nice.
