It's a scam if a cleaning fee is charged and the renters are ALSO expected to do a truckload of cleaning themselves, for which the fee is presumably charged.

And a less charitable interpretation is that it's a scam because it's deceptive advertising to show a lower nightly rate.

There's more to them than meets the eye.

HTTP ERROR 429

That's what I'm getting.

It seems to me that the client would need a Creative Cloud subscription of their own to serve the fonts for their website.

You realise he tweeted a line graph without an X-axis?

More like 6 minutes (600/100) if they're scrolling throughout. Perhaps unrealistic but even given generous allowances, a frequent user of Twitter is screwed within the hour, yes.

Twitter can also be used on the desktop.

I leave it running in a window while I do other things, and check in a few times a day. Thanks to Twitter product "development", the feed now auto-refreshes itself when you get back to it.

So 99% of accounts that are not verified are restricted to viewing max 600 tweets a day, which means if you do more than casually check Twitter once a day, you're fucked. No wonder everything is breaking.

But that's OK. Twitter has a big engineering team that should be able to sort this out soon. Oh, wait...

I still couldn't figure out where those buttons are. Kept looking everywhere.

And now the GMail storage limit for free users is 15 GB, 15x what it launched with. I think it's rather naïve to expect that any free service will give you unlimited space or unlimited time. A 2-year inactivity period sounds reasonable to me. Literally all you need to do is log in once in 2 years to not have your account deleted. I often disagree with Google's handling of things, but this isn't one such instance.

And set up Google Inactive Account Manager* so that in case you unexpectedly pass away, somebody you trust gets access to your account after a set period. I've set mine to 3 months because I'm online so much, but you may find 6 or 12 months to work better for you.

It was posted on YouTube but our authoritarian thin-skinned Prime Minister issued orders to Google to take it down.

> For instance, an attorney may prompt the tool to review a draft divorce agreement

If this is happening, your attorney is an incompetent nincompoop.

> Would your revenue be higher if those 200 Indian views never happened and your total views was only 800 million instead?

No, that would mathematically make no sense.

His average RPM drops because of views from India but he still makes some money from the extra 200 million views.

I'm Indian. The reason Indian views make less money is simply that the advertisers who advertise to Indian audiences have lower budgets due to PPP. So the amount they pay to YouTube is less than what a US advertiser would pay. In turn, the channel's share of the revenue (supposedly 55% of it) is also less.

Indian here. Yep, that's pretty much it.

I'm also not a fan of it being glorified because a) it shows how often there are systemic problems in India that force you to resort to "jugaad" to get stuff done and b) culturally, we tend to stick with "good enough" jugaad options instead of aspiring towards higher-quality products and solutions.

They specifically mention Linktree and say it's not allowed either.

Plenty of people have posted their Instagram profile links in their Twitter bios over the years and never got suspended or locked for it. I've posted tweets with links to my Instagram profile several times and never got even a warning. This is all new Musk policy.

Oh thank goodness, I'm not the only one.

Hi. I'm from India, an Asian country. We have 1.3 billion people. We don't use chopsticks.

Yes, poker enthusiasts tend to use a ton of jargon from the game. There are plenty of glossaries but you need to have a basic understanding of the game to make sense of most of it. Like this: https://www.888poker.com/magazine/poker-terms

The terms you mentioned:

GTO: Game Theory Optimal

PLO: Pot Limit Omaha (different from NL - "No Limit" Texas Hold'em). "Pot Limit" means your max bet can only be as much money as is in the pot at the time.

NLO: No Limit Omaha - That restriction on pot size is not there

> They were the ones who kicked off the streaming era, and they've continually put out great original content.

Agree with the first bit, but now their content is the text definition of Sturgeon's Law.

> If this is actually true - and that's a big if - then the problem is that HBO doesn't think the work in question is infringing, but Shopify does.

Let us take this on face value and assume this is the case.

If so, they should have given him notice and suspended the site, yet according to this thread, they kept allowing orders and taking money from his customers to the tune of $7000, but not transferring it to him. That's pretty shady and definitely does not absolve them of any potential liability.

Yep, it's called the Anchoring Effect.

> Any three simple flavors (chocolate, dill, and cayenne?) may be weird but interesting but not overwhelming.

I take it you don't like Indian food then. :)

> Ceylon originates in India and is used in Indian cooking.

As an Indian, I can assure you that the cinnamon we use in our cooking is indeed Cassia.

Ceylon is in Sri Lanka, a bit south of us.

Here in India, Whatsapp is pretty much a basic utility. A small vocal percentage moved to Signal around the time of Whatsapp's privacy policy furore. But anecdotally, most of them have moved back to Whatsapp because ditching it would mean ditching contact with most of their social circle.
