Our children are US citizens and Spanish citizens and we live in the US. When we book flights to Spain to visit family we always use their US passport details to ensure we aren’t denied boarding returning home due to lack of an ESTA. I can

It absolutely can affect your life insurance. Understandably that’s a problem of privilege but it’s a truth.

Not a dig but it’s always better to be lucky than good. I’ve had an extremely lucky career but nothing like that. Two of the biggest brand blue chips then 3 really well funded startups that have been positive experiences but financially the

My comment was definitely flippant but in large metro areas airbnb at the margin leading to a rapid price increase is not the problem. It’s supply. No supporting evidence here because it’s pretty broadly available for many real estate marke

This smells a lot like when crypto people say their markets will affect greater financial markets. The scale is just not there.

It was a huge hassle to have enough quarters 20 yrs ago when I last used coin laundry. These days when many people don’t use cash at all it’s far harder to find them. During the peak of the pandemic restrictions in the US there was a massiv

I tend to read obituaries of everyday people (as opposed to the long form for famous people) when I see them. They are almost always a cruel distillation of what was certainly a far more complicated life. I think the tradition has evolved s

Started my career as an IBM SE for the mainframe in the early 2000s. They were desperate to bring young people into the mainframe world to carry the baton. My peers were all guys with kids my age or well older and most of them carried punch

I have my first name . last name @ gmail and it’s definitely a reminder of how big the world is. I had previously thought my name was fairly unique. I don’t engage anymore unless it’s a small business trying to get paid.

As a regular traveller I have to laugh and disagree. Can’t deny the level of service for flag carriers has dropped but the level of service with Ryanair is an order of magnitude worse.

I never knew this was so big of a thing. I remember hearing about it some time in the 90s and thinking it was probably bullshit - that there was no way the two works could synchronize well - but it still had some mystique. Don’t remember he

All of these experiences resonate with me. The pendulum has swung hard to the continuous deployment model and just like the other side of the long arc of the pendulum not everything about it is good.

The outage is in Virginia so PDT isn't even local time. On their status page they are asking users to access the console via a region specific endpoint like https://us-west-2.console.aws.amazon.com . Wonder if the PDT timest

Not sure how you can say they are not competing. Anecdata but I considered a garmin vs apple watch. Biggest driver was cellular to call either my wife or 911 when kitesurfing alone (yeah I know I just shouldn’t do it) so chose the apple wat

Europe is definitely not a monolith with regards to noise. Loudest place I’ve ever lived is Barcelona. Was a one-way side street but the scooter noise was still insane. Cars make a lot of noise but at least in my city-living experience acro

As an American married to a Spaniard who has lived in and spent considerable time in Spain… I’m not sure I totally agree with that take but it does resonate. White collar working life in Spain is a greater slog than people would expect base

I don’t believe there is silver bullet to learning a language for anyone - especially your average human. Duolingo, Rosetta Stone, whatever are great for some foundational exposure and I appreciate that service but they aren’t going to get

IIRC when I subscribed to the dvd service 23 years ago or so you could actually browse a library. Maybe it’s an apple tv thing but browsing titles feels near impossible in today’s streaming world - especially on netflix. Side note: would lo

I also don’t include current pace on the watch face but I always assumed it collects that data regardless. I’ll start experimenting because i had no idea this feature existed.

Really weird. The only things I can tap into are the splits and the route map. I can scroll the heart rate over to recovery as well. I’m on ios 15. I wonder if it’s the workout type? Outdoor Run, Open Goal is what I’ve used for years now.

I have never seen and cannot find the pace graph the author shows as a screenshot from the fitness app. Would love that data. Just spent 10 min googling and gave up. Reminds me of this thread from yesterday https://news.ycombinat
