So, somewhat offtopic. I'd like to buy some tablets as presents and the Lenovo ones seemed well rated for the price. Are there others that are made by a, umm, nicer company? I'm looking for cheap and reliable rather than performan

Yes, exactly. The article points out one aspect of Casey's videos, but I think it's a minor one. Casey is probably as talented as the most talented directors in Hollywood. So asking what makes them viral is like asking why a direc

The story that's now on the front page of NYT is actually quite flattering on China. (And very interesting).

Methane is just CH4. I suspect it's not produced anymore on the partial-seaweed diet.

I'm inclined to think a combination of 3) and 1). For example the jump in base salary for Google from T5 (171k) to T6 (260k) seemed suspiciously high. So I looked at the page for T6, and it has 15 entries, most around 200k-220k, but on

I think it's worse for me, based on the current set. The official trending page has a few videos that I'd like to watch, including two from my subscriptions. But the fairtrending page has nothing I am interested in.

Indeed, now that I look, some airlines allow higher per-luggage limits. I wonder if it's new, and it's due to more automation of the handling. Anecdotally, I flew Norwegian recently and I was the only one that handled the luggage.

The article mentions a box of 30 lb, not 30 kg. Lifting 30 kg is dangerous (there is a reason the weight limit for checked-in luggage is 23kg).
