But ScottsCheapFlights is a very particular concept and not how most people go on vacation. Even with it people have a vague idea of where they would like to go, just perhaps not when. For example, I would like to go to a major city in Euro

Just as an addition, it’s worth noting most store theft comes from employees not the public. It’s expensive to minimize opportunities for the public to steal. Basic speed bumps preventing employees (who can steal more extensively) are less

Yes? The CEO’s role is to articulate a vision to workers (particularly to middle management). If it’s a secret plan, then functionally there is not a plan. Good plans can be executed even if competitors know it because they rely upon compet

Broadly speaking we the people cheered for and demanded cheap money. Baby steps towards raising rates (during massive boom years) were decried by the markets, by politicians (an particular an ex-President) and by the populace generally who

This goes beyond the governor being part of the elite and thus more likely to be protected by the law than an average citizen (unfortunately the case in the US). Attacking high public officials functionally is equivalent to attacking the s

Pre-announcing a massive layoff is an assured way to keep only the worst performing employees. Probably a breach of the purchasing contract as well, as it causes material harm to Twitter while the purchase has been tied up.

It is even more amazing realizing what a small team made the game, and that it was written in assembly! The game holds up very well. OpenRCT2 fixes a variety of bugs as well. I highly recommend https://m.youtube.com/c/M

The courts can frown on deliberately choosing mediums that can’t be subpoenaed. For example Musk didn’t provide a screenshot of a Signal he sent; the recipient also received a subpoena and sent a screenshot of the text. Twitter is therefore

Yes, an Italian cube sat called LICIACube. It will start broadcasting its data a little before midnight Eastern, though it might be months before everything is transferred. Because it is a cube sat (only 14 kg) the transmitters are not very

They do this knowing taking no action will be far far worse for everyone. We saw what a decade of stagflation looked like and it’s much worse than limited job losses. Even those who lose jobs will be better off with a short recession rather

You’d think so, and yet when I test drove a Volvo the A/C controls were only accessible via touchscreen. Not separate physical controls. No voice commands. Only the ability to tap on the touchscreen at least three times to change the A

The broadly accepted view is that the USSR won their front of the war using American supplies and Russian blood. And that the western fronts would have been far worse except for the Eastern front bleeding Germany dry. The US won against Jap

As an AxiDraw pen plotter experimenter, I think business notes is the wrong market for this. I’ve always thought wedding invitations would be better. Rather than faking handwriting the pen is used much in the way an emboss or deboss is - t

For the first link at least, they seem to be talking specifically about parts of Palestine occupied in defiance of international law and agreements being returned to them, not Israel broadly being eliminated. Israel/Palestine border di

Not when the alternate lander options don’t even have enough performance to land and take off the moon if the astronauts mass is included. The lower payload requirements mean Starship HLS requires fewer fuel replenishment launches, so an ap

Neither has SLS entered orbit to be fair, and it had a massive development budget and a half decade head start (plus existing engines). Everyone is taking Starship reuse as an assumption because of SpaceX’s earlier work. It will likely be l

At the very least those regimes would likely target additional surveillance towards people genetically predisposed to homosexuality. That’s oppressive in and of itself. And that surveillance would thus catch and punish more people. To flip

Right it’s a pretty good shortcut / shorthand for recessions, but no substitute for experts making a judgment call on multiple factors. The 2020 recession declared at the start of the COVID pandemic didn’t even last one quarter. Per yo

They probably could add some case temperature sensors and throttle once the case gets hot enough. Would still gain a lot of performance; outside of benchmarks most people don’t run their computers hard enough to need full boost for minutes

Buy some FPGA’s and commit to spending some money at Digikey every few months. There’s a lot of work to be done creating open source tool paths for hardware you could contribute to as well.
