Gotta love how they are pushing full steam ahead for the technology and leaving export a to-be-solved problem. Oh, except the cloud vendors have full rights to backup our keys.

I would propose gutting it and replacing the engine with something modern. A moped probably has equivalent oomph. Or the heretical option and install EV motors directly onto the wheels.

I am curious how many people even own a personal desktop/laptop anymore. I imagine that more and more people do everything on a phone or maybe a tablet. Are past peak PC?

Why not? The government might take it out on the bank, but the point of the FDIC is to let regular consumers not have to worry about their money.

Assuming the pros are cheating, the professional assistance is unlikely to be of use to a regular human. At the professional level, a 1% gain could be huge, whereas a normal rider could gain far more than that by better techniques/breathing/equipment/whatever.

From the linked article about the usage

  The state’s main electric grid operator has sharply increased its prediction for how much power demand will increase in coming years. If it’s accurate, the state would need to be able to provide nearly double the amount of power within six years.

That's nuts. Are other states seeing similar increases?

How long does the license persist? Wikipedia says the first version came out in 1985. Or is it somehow a life of the author + century kind of deal?

Polars is already effectively Pandas 2.0 with a lot of lessons learned. Hopefully, there is not too much additional churn.

In a weaker job market, it can be as simple as, "You were the first to acknowledge my application"

Well, I am suddenly interested in option A, because I like to imagine everyone enjoys a good laugh about what a crappy place it is to work.

How many jobs necessarily have a focused mission where you can easily make that an implicit requirement? Even if you take a position at ESPN, you might work on nothing externally facing. Does an accountant/lawyer/janitor also need to be a sports geek to apply?

It is great if you could get a position in which you are passionate, but those are few and far between.

Let's not forget that what you type on a physical keyboard might have some semblance of what you intended. My phone "corrects" my words on such a frequent basis that it has just become accepted that written communication contains nonsensical words/phrases because an algorithm thought it knew better.

The success was all of the resumes that came out with a few more buzzwords.

The "Wrens" was a division of women Navy sailors who played WW2 war games to identify how German UBoats were so successful. Played many scenarios, and replayed events after attacks to understand German tactics. Would get called in to game out live events as they were happening to decide upon the next day's strategy. Arguably led to enormous increases in British naval effectiveness.

One little writeup I could find on it: https://www.historyextra.com/period/second-world-war/real-li... . Little blurb from the page:

  The Game, as it was to become known, took over the top floor of the building, which came to look like a cross between a school gym and a child’s nursery. The floor was covered in linoleum and divided into painted sectors. On this make-believe ocean, the Wrens moved miniature convoys – model merchant ships and their battleship chaperones – according to directions given by the officers taking part in the exercise. But while the Wrens were permitted a bird’s eye view of the play area, the naval captains were allowed only occasional peeks through holes in canvas booths, arranged at the side of the playing field, positioned to recreate the limitations of visibility at sea.
  ...During the post-mortem that followed each game, all of the players would be treated to a bird’s eye view of the battle. The officers could at last see the tracks of the U-boats drawn on the floor in green chalk, set against the movements of their own ships drawn in white, and learn from the umpires whether or not they had managed to sink any submarines. Often, the officers would realise that they had made numerous dreadful mistakes during the Game, which might have resulted in the loss of their ships in earnest combat.

Minor thing - the gif browser demo should have been maximized. The video zooming into the action on what would have fit onto a single screen was distracting.

Are there maintenance actions that the admin needs to perform on the database? How are those done?

I think there is a market for them. Think of the many people who still have terrible internet, with no hope for improvement. Getting a weekend movie for significantly cheaper than a theater experience is going to make financial sense.

Even if you have streaming subscription(s) you have to break out your abacus to determine if your service(s) have rights to the movie this month.

That being said, I have no idea what are their expenses. On the surface, it feels like they should have low costs, so I might be making wild assumptions. Or maybe there is a Bain Capital like situation behind the scenes intentionally destroying the business.,

I am becoming increasingly concerned with my reliance upon VSCode. With Microsoft's increasingly visible dark-pattern shenanigans, it feels inevitable that eventually the other shoe is going to drop.

A few design decisions of the platform seemed designed to make it difficult to go elsewhere, and Microsoft keeps changing default plugins away from the fully open source versions to the Microsoft quasi-kinda-pinky-swear-open source variety. Which deprives the open source versions of mind share and development resources.

Valve? From insider reports, there are power structures, they are just not officially recognized by HR.

I am failing to find an original source, on what could be internet legend, but supposedly this happened at Google. Someone submitted the interview panel's hiring-date resumes to the panel (presumably with some minor names/dates swapped). Panel fully rejected themselves.

Edit: found a Linkedin post, which seems like little more than a FWD:FWD:FWD kind of deal, but whatever: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/hiring-committee-google-fails...

My quick skim of the site did not show a time duration. Can I move 9,999 cigarettes per day? Or is it a lifetime kind of allowance?

Not a smoker, but vaping seems like it would avoid so much hassle. Buy a barrel of the stuff and be set for the rest of your life.

Outside of luxury goods, I suspect the best arbitrage is found in items with high taxes. For which governments are usually not too keen on allowing untaxed imports.

I had no idea. I am sure it is disabled on my corporate laptop, but definitely worth checking out tomorrow.

There must be a way to scrape some shareholder value out of the feature.

If you hold the inventory, there is still hope of a rebound. Eating the loss and taking a bath has got to be painful.

Given how unpredictable the collector's market is, investing for short-term swing collecting seems a high variance strategy. Only winning move would be to pick up the goods, stack them in the attic for 20 years, and see what got lucky. Anything else would be too much mental stress trying to monitor the present value.

That seems like an idle threat. Hermes needs a "black market" to keep the brand in circulation. Making the item feel risky acquire can add to the thrill of the chase.

Maybe if you try to buy a truckload at once, they would step in, but I doubt any consumer-level flipping is hitting their radar.

So...no fun allowed? You can buy the car exclusively for the purpose of being seen in said car. I am definitively not a car guy, but what's the point if you do not red-line it for some quick thrills?

Whatever makes people happy, I guess. I will continue to drive my ~zero maintenance Honda without regrets.

That is true of so many products. Notepad++, Paint.Net, Everything search.

Products which would cost Microsoft absolute peanuts to acquire. Or even just use that as a model and rip it off entirely with an in house version.

That seems like cherry picking winners knowing that Apple roughly ends up on top. If your stock basket resembles other home purchases, you are going to see more modest returns.

Were you attempting to post a different link? That study points a pretty strong negative correlation with corn syrup.

  ...Diabetes prevalence was 20% higher in countries with higher availability of HFCS compared to countries with low availability, and these differences were retained or strengthened after adjusting for country-level estimates of body mass index (BMI), population and gross domestic product (adjusted diabetes prevalence=8.0 vs. 6.7%, p=0.03; fasting plasma glucose=5.34 vs. 5.22 mmol/L, p=0.03) despite similarities in obesity and total sugar and calorie availability. These results suggest that countries with higher availability of HFCS have a higher prevalence of type 2 diabetes independent of obesity.

Depending on where tastes go, you could even have celebrity meats.
