Mandated minimum earnings will benefit the drivers, but that won't help drivers that have to quit the platforms because people stop using them.

> EVs are still in their relative infancy as mainstream vehicles, so it’s really not surprising that manufacturers, by and large, are still working out the kinks. That said, we are seeing signs of movement in the right direction.

The teething problems we are seeing with EVs are because they are new, not because they are EVs

This is pretty interesting. I wonder what other types of collections are 'forgotten' well before their allowed reporting limit?

At the same time, if it would have taken several more months to install a flame diverter / metal plating below the launch pad, would that be worth it, or negate the progress made by gathering flight data? I'm not sure we can know that for sure.

I would hazard a guess that in the long term, it will have been the right decision.

I've been more than a little disappointed with all the "they tried but it blew up" headlines that came in the days following the test flight.

The whole point is that this is bigger and more ambitious than any prior attempt - the failure is the most important part, it means you learn something.

Anything more than a failure to ignite should be considered a success in my book.

[1] Drive to Survive is a good example of this - once a year bait to get people back. I imagine there are similar single-show subscribers in other genres that cancel immediately after.

You can still purchase I-Bonds, with the understanding that the May rate will be adjusted again in 6 months (it could go down if inflation goes down) and you won't be able to pull your funds for a minimum of one year.

It's a great option for inflation protection if you can let that money sit for awhile. https://www.treasurydirect.gov/indiv/research/indepth/ibonds...

I love Twitter but you have to imagine the pivot that he wants will involve restructuring

I wonder how much of a headache this creates for taxes. One of the biggest factors that keeps me from venturing abroad (and my company from allowing it) in my remote role is the complicated tax situation that arises.

Anyone have experience with this?

In the Privacy menu in MacOS now, you can authorize applications to do things like use locations services and record the screen. I think it would be reasonable to include an authorization for audio recording and bypass the orange indicator. Or they could turn on the webcam green light when audio input is active?

  Mr Hancock said there was "nothing to suggest" it caused worse disease or that vaccines would no longer work.

I guess the questions is if they can keep it that way and also monetize.

I don't agree with this. While merchants pay interchange fees based on the value of card transactions (plus a flat rate per transaction IIRC), as a cardholder rewards are earned only as a percentage of the total purchase, and are not influenced by the number of transactions.

So I earn 4% back on the value of all my Starbucks transactions, regardless of whether the purchase is made via the app or my card. I am willing to forgo a couple pennies in interest on my rolling $15-20 balance to have the convenience of mobile ordering.

If you use the system efficiently, I see it as a net value add as a customer.

The problem here seems more like the infrastructure that is being diverted around, rather than the alternate routes themselves...

I think it's entirely possible that it's just a general movie industry trend that people who don't see a movie in its first weekend have no desire to go subsequently - maybe because all the good parts are almost immediately spread around the net? Less incentive to go to theater.
