A former US Navy submariner recently released a video about the Titan and the issues he could see with its design:

It was still very good TV but it felt like a completely different vibe than the first two seasons.
In Australian slang this is called a 'long drop' after a particular style of judicial hanging.
And yes, there are spiders.
Added to my reading list.
Have you read Between Silk and Cyanide by Leo Marks? It's quite good.
2 month wait for Apple enterprise verification for the app store.
Then another 2 months because the client had signed up for the wrong sort of enterprise program.
Tried contacting support, no dice. Tried tcook@apple.com and got some useless functionary.
Terrible time all round.
Large claims also have a role in bringing attention to the plaintiff's complaints.
The $27B figure doesn't dictate how much money could eventually be awarded or - indeed - whether the suit will be successful at all.
Other posters arguing for tort reform based off've this headline should have another think.
Twitter user Bitfinexed has speculated that Alameda Research's losing trades have counterparties that are associated with Tether and that the trades acted as a means of funnelling money into the struggling stablecoin.
He further alleges that Tether have been heavily minting coins to wash trade and inflate crypto asset prices. The liquidity from FTX would have been used to cover withdrawals by Tether customers since the start of the bear market.
I'm not qualified to assess the veracity of these claims but Bitfinexed has called a number of scams and collapses in cryptology before they have come to pass.
It's searchable (tho not well) and you can apparently set up email alerts for new trials. Hope it helps!

Local 'big name' family is voracious in their consumption of government grants. They're not struggling by any means but they've got application writing down to a fine science.
I tried this approach when a client was having issues enrolling in Apple Enterprise to distribute an app in-house. Didn't work, took four months until we could release our app.
Completely killed any esteem I had for Apple.
"'It traces back to 2019 when the Government agreed to strengthen NCEA, with a commitment to explicitly reflect and promote mana ōrite mō tē mātauranga Māori, or parity for Māori knowledge, within the main secondary school qualification.

She said it means "making sure teachers are supported to design courses that include both what has become known as mātauranga pūtaiao and the scientific knowledge, skills and understandings that have traditionally been taught in New Zealand schools - which we have referred to at times using the phrase 'Western science'."

Good advice! My friend lost his mother to cancer this year. Not taking more photos and videos at the start of her illness - when she was most like herself - is one of his main regrets.
Mining activity is 10% of Australia's GDP. Mineral land rights in Australia are property of the government so why do overseas and private-domestic operators get to make all the profit? When Norway's example shows us that a publicly funded and owned industry was possible!
Too late now though - the last attempt to extract more value out of a booming industry led to the downfall of the government: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minerals_Resource_Rent_Tax.
What do you think the deal is here? Social climber parents who believe their own BS? Kid wants to make it as an influencer and this is just a handy, vacant persona to step into?
The article describes safety errors at a lab at the University of Wisconsin, resulting in:
- accidental flooding of the lab's high containment suite - incomplete protective gear worn during a spill of an avian respiratory virus (not CoV-2) - a lab tech quarantining at home after a needlestick injury rather than at a dedicated facility on-site
I don't know that I agree with the author's risk assessment at the end of the article but I feel that the overview of safety breaches justified my reading time.
The way that people value software these days is completely insane.
People writing you hate mail are bad clients that you don't want and you can feel free to ignore them.
Also watch this video that was doing the rounds on HN a couple of years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVkLVRt6c1U&t=54s
Your app looks neat - I'll go try it out.
Flat bottomed woks can work with induction however the round bottomed ones won't sit close enough to the coil to heat up properly. An outdoor wok burner could be a good way for your partner to get their wok hei fix without burning gas in the house: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpoSvprBJpE.
The main downsides I'd mention:
When I cook with induction I'm not comfortable shaking the pan to sauté or flip food. The surface of the cooktop is supposed to be quite durable but it looks like glass and I tend to baby it against the (even imagined) possibility of scratching.
Only ferrous-based cookware will be heated by the cooker so any aluminum or copper pans in the house become useless.
