We we offered $10/month to use their modem + unlimited, or $30/month to use your own modem unlimited. We actually don't use that much data though, so just went with the data cap and our own modem, and never went over. This wa

When I tested the online model, it would write an answer about "censored" events, and then I'd see the answer get replaced with "Sorry, that’s beyond my current scope. Let’s talk about something else." So I think th

Probably also a legal requirement to run them during rain, even if it's not actually needed for the self-driving cars to work.

Our team has members in every US timezone. I find I'll often try and use relative times in conversation, e.g. "after the stand-up" or "at the top of the hour" rather than specifying a wall clock time.

If I'm moving a long distance (which I've done a few times in my life so far), I usually try to sell as much furniture as possible rather than moving it with me. It's already easier to sell Ikea furniture as people will searc

For me it's infrequent enough that I'll just go the the library if I need to print.

Odds are they get a different driver every time they do this.

There could be some truth to this based on the vehicle you drive. The IRS gives a flat per-mile deduction, which is an estimate of fuel, repair, maintenance, and depreciation costs. If your actual vehicle expenses are lower, then you are ma

I made a point to memorize my wife's and my parents' cell numbers, just in case I'm ever in a situation where I don't have a phone and need to reach them (like if I got robbed or something).

Interesting that they wish to discourage key pinning. This is pretty commonly used by apps to make them harder to reverse engineer. It prevents you from installing your own cert in the system's trust store and then using that to man-in

But its destination was in Japan. Logistically, I'd think it'd be easier to have the plane return to SFO (potentially after burning off fuel) rather than going to LAX.

On a recent trip, I reserved a gas car, but at the airport they tried to give me an EV. I went to the counter and asked for a gas car instead, since the place I was staying didn't have charging, and I didn't want to spend my vacat

I don't think that age verification is a good idea. But I don't think the counter-argument that "parents can just monitor their kids' devices" really holds water - there's still plenty of ways around it.

Plus, a minor could use their friends' devices. Their parents may not have set up any controls on those devices.

Perhaps trademark law could help? E.g. Netflix can make their One Piece reboot without permission, but it has to be named in a way that makes it clear it's not licensed from the original creator.

There were a lot of complaints that websites which never had to bother with certificates before now had to set one up (and pay for one). Though that's now largely solved by Lets Encrypt.

They're still immigrants. They're moving to the US, not returning to their home country.

It's effectively a legally enshrined global class system. While I don't think it's practical to just abolish the concept overnight, I do think it's ultimately the direction we should try and move in. The freedom of movem

Can you share what country you want to give up citizenship from? It's hard to imagine that being stateless would be preferable in most cases.

How does China figure it out?

Sounds like it's far from automatic. (Well, perhaps "legally" you automatically lose it, but there's no system that actually tells Japan that one of their citizens has gotten another citizenship.) She became a U.S. citi

If it's important, you don't want to just write it to a hard drive and chuck it in a closet.

True - I suppose the "backup" would be either a physical ID or whatever they do to verify your identity when you don't have an ID.

Then the airlines should be doing the ID checks. But they don't bother, because the TSA basically does it for them. Pretty sure the stated reason for the TSA checking IDs is to keep people on the no-fly list from flying. (Worth nothing

The article mentions a "one to many" system which is exactly this - it compares you to every face in the database and decides who you are, eliminating the need to show physical ID. Unless both twins are flying on the same day, you

Not including sales tax kind of makes sense, because it varies so much state to state (and often within the state). This allows companies to advertise one price nationwide.
