I buy glasses (in the US) from this place called Jins. They are cheaper out-of-pocket than glasses being sold by my optometrist, even after insurance (I pay for Jins out of pocket). Not sure why and my optometrist can't explain how his glasses are betters either. I assume its some kind of price gouging.

My guess is that they have 2 passwords. One password for access to Yotta which is provided by the user and stored securely/irrecoverably (i.e. hashed, salted, and peppered - yum), and another password for actually accessing TreasuryDirect is generated and stored by Yotta.

I feel like this is overcomplicating it. Openness to experience sounds pretty straightforward to me. Openness to Experience means... being willing to experience new things. Trying new hobbies, learning new skills, yes, but also going to parties and doing drugs that all the chads and stacys are doing. Assuming that the latter two things are somewhat new experiences - but somebody whos not as open would probably not have done those things in the first place. I reject that you need go to Escher exhibitions while listening to Mozart to be "open to experiences".

Things that I found interesting:

- Indonesian is based on ancient Indian (forgot what it's called)

- Germanic tribes uses Runes (Runic?)

- Turkish is based on Persian (Farsi?)

I am a very inflammable (inflammed? not sure the terminology) person - allergic to pretty much everything, ezcema, IBS.

I've been to specialist doctors for all these things and they've mostly basically told me to go fuck myself ("You have IBS, can't help you there. Be grateful it's not cancer. Next patient!")

Anyways, the finger prick thing kind of intimidates me but I think this is exactly what I need!

What is the proper way for emphasis if not with *bold*?

Starting biking around the city and can definitely feel the hate. People honking at me, etc.

This is sort of the discussion I wanted to hear from this thread. What separates a a product manager paired with a data analyst from say, a CEO or CPO (product)? Surely the PM and DS are better armed to make decisions with data and talking to users, etc.

What is causing this? Is it mostly watering the lawn and gardening? Or do Americans just take longer showers? Are our toilets bigger?

This analysis reeks of confirmation bias. You don't need one personal car for every 3 people if you were to comparing busses with self driving cars. You would have a fleet, just like you do with busses. Here is something posted a couple days ago:

https://www.npr.org/2022/07/19/1111765630/on-demand-shuttles...

15 minivans replaced 6 busses, at a cost of 1.6 million to 1.3 million per year - but with much better coverage than the busses.

Of course this equation will look very different in big cities where economies of scale from mass transit kick in， but hey, small cities need transit too.

> which can be built and run on basically any machine(s)

So like containers?

bit OT but I'm curious what a college that ONLY selects extracurricular leaders would look like. This is coming from a software job where career advancement depends on being the lead in projects. IME people are mostly chill and happy to do the "grunt" work, but what if EVERYBODY wanted to be "team lead"?

yes

The notice of termination said that Twitter has violated Section 6.4 and 6.11

> Section 6.4 Access to Information; Confidentiality.

> Upon reasonable notice, the Company shall (and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to) afford to the representatives, officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, accountants and financial advisors (“Representatives”) of Parent reasonable access (at Parent’s sole cost and expense), in a manner not disruptive in any material respect to the operations of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, during normal business hours and upon reasonable written notice throughout the period commencing on the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII, to the properties, books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries and, during such period, shall (and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to) furnish promptly to such Representatives all information concerning the business, properties and personnel of the Company and its Subsidiaries as may reasonably be requested in writing, in each case, for any reasonable business purpose related to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

> Section 6.11 Financing Cooperation.

> (a) The Company shall and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, and shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause each of its Representatives to, at Parent’s sole expense, provide any reasonable cooperation reasonably requested by Parent in writing in connection with (i) the arrangement of the Bank Debt Financing and any other debt financing expressly contemplated by the Bank Debt Commitment Letter...

This argument is saying that Twitter is not holding up it's end of the Merger Agreement by not providing (sufficient/useful) information and not cooperating with debt financing (by not providing information). They give examples like rate limits on developer APIs etc.

So the kernel of the question is: is Twitter providing information to the satisfaction of Merger Agreement?

I don't know the answer to that, but if is "no", would that be grounds for terminating the deal? That seems a bit extreme to me. To me a reasonable ruling would sound something like "Twitter has X days to provide all the information requested and then Musk has to perform the purchase".

had the same experience. spent a couple thousand on colonoscopy and when the results were benign and it was "just" IBS, the gastroenterologist basically told me to go fuck myself. And eat more fiber.

Link to tweet please?

What does c’est poggèur mean? Is it French twitch chat?

Total War combined with Sim City

What does it mean when inflation happens elsewhere? Isn't that kind of a good thing (if not hostile) - because we can buy stuff from "elsewhere" for cheaper?

Unmanned tank warfare sounds kinda humane actually. Instead of killing each other, tank crew members being cooked alive, etc, we just let the unmanned tanks duke it out kinda like a really expensive robotics competition. Of course reality doesn't really work like this but...

I was really looking forward to doing another one at EOD :)

They can wipe their tears with stacks of hundred dollar bills :)

It would for sure be an asshole thing to do, but men don't really have anything to gain by getting a woman pregnant right? If anything it's a liability (child support payments)

I think it's because you can't load assets from the entire game world in main memory, so when you go to a new zone it'll load assets from disk (slowly).

Apparently, even in China and India tech salaries are increasing. So the demand is so high that even countries with 1 billion+ population need to increase salary.

I don't know about this take. We're supposed to shed tears for the landlord managing properties worth probably 8 figures but for the families if unemployment checks and the generosity of their landlords isn't enough... then that's just life? That's not exactly what I want to hear from policy makers.

Not trying to be snide to OP, but his/her anecdote does hit the typical Linkedin influencer plot beats which I find amusing:

  I literally hired a guy who was a part-time computer hobbyist but, a full time pool man.

  I told him "hey how would you like to spend 40 hours a week learning more about computers."

  Today he's working as a leader in his company's security group.

  He often thanks me for the job, and I always remind him "you did the work, all I did was give you the opportunity".

(1) and (2) are solved by recorded video lectures. I think I would have learned a lot more in school if they had that back in the day.
