It probably varies a lot. As others are noting, there's a meme that people are rough on rentals. On the other hand, as you say, it's also pretty common to get a rental because distances are far/you need enough local transport that an Uber isn't really practical but in practice the car sits at the resort/conference hotel most of the week.

Interesting question - it seems like there were Welsh mines in Roman times:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolaucothi_Gold_Mines

> They are the only mines for Welsh gold outside those of the Dolgellau gold-belt, and are a Scheduled Ancient Monument. They are also the only known Roman gold mines in Britain, although it does not exclude the likelihood that they exploited other known sources in Devon in South West England, north Wales, Scotland and elsewhere.

If you mean "marriage with no possible divorce is a social safety net", then I have to protest that "safety" is pretty relative here.

Bright red "live" blood can come from any part of the lower intestines. Strong-smelling feces with dark blood are called melena and are associated with bleeding in the upper gastrointestinal tract, peptic ulcers are a common cause. The reason for the difference is the blood gets digested as it passes through the gastrointestinal tract. It's not a 100% exact science, bleeding in the lower intestines might still spend enough time in the body to be digested and bleeding in the upper gastrointestinal tract might come out fast enough that it still looks red. Additional symptoms usually provide enough context for a clinical decision to be made.

> fecal occult blood test

Often used to screen patients for colonoscopies. Screening is looking for disease in the asymptomatic: "occult" means it's not visible to the naked eye, you're looking for blood even though the patient has not noticed any. The symptomatic don't need screening, they need diagnosis and thus proceed directly to colonoscopy. Or endoscopy if upper gastrointestinal tract bleeding is suspected.

Guix has tooling to verify binaries:

"guix build --no-grafts --no-substitutes --check foo" will force a local rebuild of package foo and fail if the result is not bit-identical. "guix challenge" will compare your local binaries against multiple cache servers.

I build everything locally and compare my results with the official substitute servers from time to time.

The gym thing with a trainer is super weird dude. I’ve never heard of any trainer being like, “yeah, let me show you around to some chicks here.”

I kind of agree with the initial precept. I have seen useless PMs more than I can count, and organizations turned into government bureaucracies on the altar of cargo cultish "best practice" processes. Retro-engineering okrs from a pre-existing list of features, looking at data only for vanity purposes (how good are we).

I think it goes one step too far and throws the baby, the bath tub, and the whole house with the bathwater.

> Do you know what else they had in common? None of them were motivated by OKRs, KPIs, data, or other people’s opinion.

This is not true for Bezos for example. He was famously driving the company through data, metrics and process, and there's countless examples of "Jeff meetings" where he changed his mind after reading the data presented by others.

All those examples are tools, that you can, and often shouldn't use. It makes no sense to have a heavy process when you're small, in direct touch with the customer, and are fully driven by an idea. Similarly, it makes no sense keeping on wet-fingering it and single-person driving once you have a set of established customers and want to increase your penetration.

Same is true for all aspects of a company, from engineering to sales to marketing. As you grow you get more people working, and you need a minimum of coordination and standardization to avoid going in antagonistic positions all over. And same goes with seems between these functions. Let me tell you that I prefer having a good PM to handle these needs and that coordination rather than having to deal with synchronizing their needs as an engineer.

I went in there hoping I would have a good resource to share about the topic, but it's too sour and mono-directed into some weirdly "aw common just be smart about it" to be credible.

I have not used dating apps myself (have a single partner for 15y+ and generally was always meeting romantic interests through friends), but ~half of my friends got their partners through Tinder 5-10y ago.
They were very happy with it - though this was in Europe, not in a tech hub.

Two of my close friends who don't have partners and still use Tinder said that in the last few years, they became useless unless you are a spending whale (enshittification). Full of bots, full of people keeping to make new accounts to take advantage of boosts at the beginning of the profile, needing to spend money to get any matches after this start period. Basically bait-and-switch model and pay-to-win, but with romantic life and self esteem - sounds absolutely cruel.
Phenomenal book that cover's this exact topic, "Debt: The First 5000 Years."

"The book argues that debt has typically retained its primacy, with cash and barter usually limited to situations of low trust involving strangers or those not considered credit-worthy"

It would make sense that cash would pop up once the Romans arrived, and would be in small amounts to facilitate spot transactions between Romans and the pre-Roman peoples of Britain and why there's such little amounts of cash.

Further more, I can imagine a scenario where Roman coins were melted down to make these coins (total conjecture) .

This article mischaracterizes the roles of PM's and engineers in most companies.

It sets up a strawman of "delegating control to a single person", and assuming that person is either an engineer or a PM. Everywhere I've worked, the product teams/leaders and engineering teams/leaders were peers. Engineering didn't report to product, and product didn't report to engineering. Rather, both reported directly to the CEO, often as separate CTO and CPO heads, or they both reported to an executive VP or director or similar.

Because the reality is, you need both. Engineers are great at building but they're not spending time with customers or UX research to know what the market and users need. The main job of a PM is to understand what the market and users need by spending a lot of time with customers and researchers, and to marry that with the business priorities coming from executives. And then a PM and eng lead negotiate back and forth to figure out what can be built that meets everyone's needs.

The idea that a product manager role is a mistake makes as much sense as saying an engineering lead role is a mistake, or a sales lead is a mistake, or a marketing manager is a mistake. A successful business needs all parts.

(Occasionally you're building a product that's by developers for developers, where the engineers do have an accurate understanding of users/market, and a PM isn't necessary. But that's exceedingly rare.)

An exploit in DNS parsing (not sure if it’s related?) is used on Wii to patch games like Mario Kart Wii and Smash Brothers to use third party online servers.

> Very few engineers want to maintain relationships with customers, interview users to identify potential features, manage leadership, play politics for resource allocation, and so on

Ah, so that's what a product manager is supposed to do. When product managers were introduced at a company I worked at, they did very little of any of that. They certainly weren't speaking to customers. They weren't technical, so they weren't managing our Jira tickets. And "managing leadership" fell mostly on our managers' plates. I think the PMs mostly had meetings, talked to leadership, talked to engineers, wrote documents, and presided over the (now very long) sprint planning meetings.

I can imagine product managers that did your list of things being a lot more valuable.

I think Deno could be a good choice for that—it's an entire server side JavaScript runtime built around the idea of using web standards instead of server-specific code.

In addition to using standard Request and Response objects in its built-in server framework, Deno's approach to dependencies and TypeScript lends itself really well to educational settings—with no compilation step and no package management step, it's as simple to get started with Deno server-side as it is to start with HTML/JS in the browser—just open up a text editor and start writing!

Historic space photo: A monstrous 'Halloween storm' explodes from the sun
I’ve never understood how asking out strangers in bars or on the street is supposed to yield high quality matches. Developing crushes on people you actually know in your social scenes is more reasonable. That’s probably the ideal scenario if it turns out to be mutual.

But it’s human nature that the vast majority of the time it will be one-sided on the guy’s part. So you’ve got to somehow maintain a social scene with enough single women to make even one match plausible for you, while those women are constantly inundated with unwanted attention and feelings from the guys in the group, without the group either splintering or developing social norms that prohibit romantic overtures. That’s asking for some incredibly robust social technology in an era where we should be grateful that any kind of IRL social scene even exists.

That’s poor reasoning there’s many things that reduced native populations. You can’t just pick one and claim it’s the most important without evidence.
I don't know, from what I've heard, women rate mostly based on red flags (is there anything I don't like), whereas men rate based on green flags (is there anything I like). Which of course makes it hard for men to create a good profile, whereas women get swamped with messages and have a lot of "dont's" in their profiles. But it doesn't mean women are neccessarily "pickier". They are just as "interested" or "on the search" as men, but are often more cautious because of bad experiences.

Evo-psych explanations break down when you look at actual couples, I think. I recall a study where people ranked each other with 1-9, and they found that the stated preference was similar to what you describe, with women prefering the higher ranked men, and vice-versa but with the men having wider spread preferences. But when they looked at actual couples it was far more random with "9"s paired with "5"s and so on. (I can't find a link but maybe someone else finds it?) In reality, common interests and similar social milieus are probably the most important factors.
What if they want nothing at all? As in, women naturally aren't that attracted to men but through historical male domination, women's level of attraction has been mostly irrelevant historically.

When it comes to electric guitars if something is done backwards compared to everything else it probably comes down to some pioneer in that thing got it wrong and then everyone else copied them.

That's why the arm on many electric guitars that you can jiggle to cause pitch variation (which is called "vibrato") is often called a "tremolo" arm. Fender put a vibrato system on their 1954 Stratocaster but called it a tremolo system and that stuck in the electric guitar world.

Then in 1964 they introduced the Fender Vibrolux amp. That included a circuit to rapidly vary volume (which is called "tremolo") but they called it a "vibrato" system, thus completing Fender's complete reversal of the meaning of vibrato and tremolo.
I still have the sound of them in my head :)
Here's my solution: get (or be) a strong tech lead that can write tickets, negotiate features, and steer technical direction. They can optionally run the team as well, or that can have a separate person, who is still technical, in the team who keeps the trains running on time with meetings etc. The product person is slightly more distant; not in every meeting, and the tech lead makes sure work is synced with the product requirements, which are documented not in tickets, but at a higher level in written+diagram form.

That way you don't have "product" people who are really just status reporting for the team, or "product" people who are really just writing bad tickets that need rewriting. You have actual product people who focus on where the product should be going.

You also don't have a "delivery manager" role. The team needs to be steered into doing this by a decent lead who can do the 3% admin required to keep on top of this sort of thing.
> The rare coin was discovered in March 2023 in Hampshire county and was auctioned Sept. 28 for 20,400 British pounds ($24,720), Spink auction house said in a series of statements.

> A Latin alphabetic inscription on the coin bears the name "Esunertos," which can be translated as "mighty as the god Esos," (also spelled Esus) the statements said. The name itself is Gaulish, a language commonly spoken in the region at the time, John Sills, an archaeologist at the University of Oxford's Institute of Archaeology who examined the coin before it was auctioned, told Live Science in an email.

> The coin dates to sometime between 50 B.C. and 30 B.C., a time after Julius Caesar invaded Britain twice around 55 B.C. to 54 B.C., the statement said.

It wasn't until after another Roman invasion, launched in A.D. 43 by Emperor Claudius, that the Roman Empire managed to gain long-term control over part of the island.
