Jury’s out on their content direction. They cancel great shows before the first season has even had a chance to permeate. It’s clear they have little interest in long term artistic investments.

Its current position above Central America would certainly have been useful to the US in the mid 1970s when it apparently moved, perhaps more useful than it would have been to the UK over post-colonial East Africa.

Another glass convert here. Being able to go straight from fridge to oven/microwave to dishwasher without worrying about warping or microplastics leeching is the big sell. Easier to clean by hand, no sticking or staining. Plus they loo

I think the whole point is that the blue/green distinction is very subjective and may be culturally influenced for certain populations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue%E2%80%93green_distinction... The example w

If memory serves me correctly, the main difference is that the reels on the tapes rotated anti-clockwise in the Southern hemisphere due to the Coriolis effect.

Customer behavior is key here. There’s perceived risk with the dreaded “Multiple airlines” option when booking tickets, especially for international flights. No-one wants to find out the hard way that there weren’t agreements or reciprocal

And even then, which of these (mostly) highly paid and heavily scheduled professional athletes is side-hustling one minute at a time for $50 rather than banking 5 to 7 figures for a Gatorade or Nike endorsement?

The math of the business model doesn’t really pass the napkin test. How many celebrities and sublebrities do you need to be actively booking 10s to 100s of videos per day to get enough revenue to justify a $1bn valuation? Perhaps that means

You’d need square sensors, not an internal moving gimbal, so manufacturers would be left with a choice: should the square fit the circle or the circle fit the square? The first would lower quality and the second would increase costs and add

How do they consume the water exactly? If it’s just heat transfer, couldn’t it be reused once it passes through the data center? I would assume a small and cold country like Ireland could make good use of warm water, especially given its #2

A surprising number of people forget the majority of most jewellery value is the raw material. Scrap value, yes, purchase price, no :) The quick sanity test is to ask why big name jewelers can sell the same style ring at all sizes for the

US zoning laws are probably a much bigger factor in keeping neighborhood cafes out of residential areas. The idea of a “corner cafe” - literally a house converted into a store front - simply isn’t possible in most residentially zoned areas.

I’m surprised by how tenuous the link is between the cave find and the archival find. Is the bar really that low for claims in archaeological papers or am I missing something? It’s a compelling story, but surely Occam’s razor would conclude

Secrets don’t belong in environment variables either. Place them in a vault and grant specific processes/identities permission to read and decrypt them. Env vars are prone to leaking and best practice moves the goal post further. Devs

That’s the crux of it. Someone already paying for Spotify and practically any smartphone can just buy a car mount and get pretty much the same experience. My high/low comment missed the mark. Someone in that position (without CarPlay)
