Yes, very frustrating for me as well. I consider now purchasing Gemini Advance with another Non-Workspace account. :-( I also found this [1]: “ Important: A chat can only use one model. If you switch between models in an existing chat, it a

Hm. 4.6M „voters“, and I know a couple of persons who were not able to vote due to server issues. I also doubt that the way the voting was setup was safe against the most basic manipulations (e.g. voting multiple times). I’d say that this w

Unfortunately directly booking with the hotel has drawbacks as well. 6 months ago I booked The Pullman Hotel in London directly (they had the same pricing as the online agencies). When I arrived late in the evening my room was not availabl

I think it's also about the ecosystem. With Elixir all third party packages etc. can be relied on having no side-effects / immutability. If you try to code functional in an OOP language, you would have to make sure that no third p

That's true for threads (although most of your threads should be blocked by IO, e. g. DB queries, and that means the GIL lock isn't a big issue). But the beauty of HTTP is that you can scale simply by adding more "endpoints&q

I think that's not true. If you have e. g. 4 cores, and you start Puma with 4 workers (i. e. processes) it will utilize all cores. I guess you're mixing up processes with Ruby threads. You normally start as many Puma processes as

At a bar it's most probably voluntary. There are some toilets where you have to pay after your visit but normally they put a sign on it, if it's mandatory. I only know it if there is a funfair or some kind of it. Like this: http:

In Germany you receive welfare no matter of your work history. True, you need to sell your assets, like your house, but I think that's understandable. Your 65 year old retiree would receive ~410€/mo. + costs for an apartment (incl

A toilet in a mall is not considered public (= state-owned) in context of this article. The latter are usually really dirty and not nice to use.

Yes, you're right, I too think people would "tip" anyway. I just assumed that if you're participating in the program the cities may kind of forbid to ask for money.

by easychris 10y ago
I think the toilet business is only a good one on a large scale anyway: mostly due to fixed costs for paying the cleaning staff no matter if you operate a restroom with 1 or 20 seats. BTW: I'm not sure about the neighbor. As I would on

The cities pay 50-150€/mo to the owners [1]. I wouldn't participate if I would own a bar/restaurant. Slightly OT: A shopping mall in germany, where paying for the use of the toilet is voluntary (50Ct / use) makes on avg.

It's not required in Germany either. The data protection law allows to "lock" data instead of really deleting it from all devices. And IMO that's the only sane solution to deletion requests. Otherwise, any kind of backup

That's happening to me often, too. But as I understand it, the habit of just starting applies to continue working on the unfinished work-in-progress project as well: starting a new project is your way of procrastination.

Interestingly in Germany UPS has a good reputation (niche premium carrier). And it really seems that they handle packages better than our local carriers DHL, Hermes, DPD et al. Probably it's just impossible to find enough good employee
