Your assistant didn't sign you up for Pre, given that membership requires an in-person fingerprint scan. You got Pre because Southwest forwarded your information to the TSA which gave you Pre for that trip. I have Pre through the Glob

I don't know if it was intentional, but most of the intro literature around Scala seems to avoid terms like monad, just introducing the reader to Option, Future, etc., and letting the reader notice the common patterns (map, flatMap). E

I was referring to the fact that the total value of the Standard descendants far exceeded that of Standard prior to the breakup. Part of that is attributable to the growing American economy at the time but also the intense competition that

It's worth noting that the breakup of Standard Oil brought more wealth to Rockefeller than he'd ever dreamed of.

Airfares aren't priced on a cost-plus basis, they're priced based on what the markets will bear. For instance, MKE-BOS has no non-stop options, so lots of airlines compete for one-stop business funneling passengers through their

Gate checked bags aren't checked to your destination, you retrieve the bag plane-side upon landing. Besides, checking bags is rarely necessary. I spent five weeks in India on business with only a carry-on suitcase and a laptop bag.

UA doesn't fly DTW-PHL. Do you mean US or DL? The airline can claw back miles, ban you from flying or, if you're a repeat abuser, go after you for the fare difference.

This is why most airlines won't let you short-check bags to an intermediate city. Also, in the event of IRROPs, you have no guarantee that the airline will still send you through the same connecting airport. If you're trying this

Our deals are so great the airlines will ban you as a customer if you use them? Sounds wonderful.

Yes, you agree for both the fare rules of the specific ticket you bought and the airline's contract of carriage, both of which are approved by the Department of Transportation. And (at least) the CoC prohibits hidden-city ticketing.

The airlines will go after passengers who abuse hidden-city ticketing but will generally let it slide if you only do it once or twice. There are stories on FlyerTalk about repeat offenders being banned from certain airlines. It's proba

I don't think the typed actors in 3.0 are related to the old typed actors feature. It's still in a state of flux but there's a very preliminary preview in Roland Kuhn's github repo.

A few of the companies might get shaken out, the ones stuck with use-it-or-lose-it land rights, but the rest can shut in production easily enough and wait for prices to rise again. Drilling a well with fracking is really cheap and incredib

Saudi Arabia hasn't increased production, but they also haven't decreased production. Within OPEC, the Saudis are supposed to be the swing producer, adjusting their output up and down to maintain price targets. That arrangement
