Really? Which ones? This is newsworthy specifically because they all do, but when negotiations happen, it gets attention. This has happened with other providers. It is expected that a standard tier cable/streaming includes ABC, ESPN, Fox, NBC, etc.

I was team Replay TV too. Loved it back in the day. Digital cable and Comcast DVR finally did it in though. It was a good product at the time though, kind of the Betamax of DVRs against Tivo.

I converted in the workplace from Windows to Mac in 2014 after some early beta testers. 2 jobs since then Macs are standard issue. I did short side gig with a PC and it felt so clunky. PowerShell - ugh, probably because of lack of familiarity. It's probably fine.

Use what works for you, but Mac for work and a personal one (my current job silos and doesn't allow personal use) do the job.

I am a software dev in Silicon Valley land for context. Macs are just fine. I you like Windows or Linux, good for you, not something to argue.

Not arguing here, but is there reliable information about the salaries of H1-B and L1 compared to residents and citizens? All my coworkers are immigration visa - India and China. I assume we are paid salary commensurate with title and salary band (i.e., staff engineer might have 2-3 tranches of salary range).

I've always wondered if it's true or not that the mostly Indian workforce in US is paid way below.

What if the baby, er fetus, is determined to be of biological sex female. Probably would be best to abort those things until a male who can support the family blood lines is available. Nothing wrong with that, pro choice.

Then wouldn't they favor abortion? I mean if they really don't care about life to increase their population, they would be advocating for subsidized and encouraged abortion. And wouldn't that be okay? It's not a life so why not prevent lives of poverty. Win, win.

Exactly. I've been using the grocery store as my ATM since the early 90s especially when I lived apartment life. "Got any rolls of quarters available?" I don't do grocery as much for cash since credit cards are widely accepted. Take the rewards. Fee free credit union ATMs are all around me but I probably replenish cash about every 2 - 3 months. I keep a little handy but rarely needed.

And California equity focused math curriculum. I sh-- you not.

What about people who are just shopping for their next car? I bought one because I like the electric drive feel - torque, 1 pedal driving, minimal maintenance. I bought a Tesla Model Y because I like it and the deals at the time were good for my budget. That's literally it. I've never bought a car from a political lense. I do believe some do this, but I haven't met anyone who has disclosed this. At this time, I only know one EV owner who isn't Tesla - Bolt owner. I thought about buying a used one for my kid. I still might do so. I don't care about the companies.

I have been with Cricket for well over 10 years. Back then I did the 4 lines for $100. Exactly $100, no additional fees added. It started with 3G, then LTE, now 5G+. Still $100 for the 4 lines on AT&T network. I know there is competition in that zone, but it has been a simple never changing, never increasing bill and mostly reliable. I don't use data heavily off wifi but don't shy away from it, never throttled.

I remember flying on one of those in the mid 90's, just a short hop from Atlanta to Orlando, but had never heard of it. If I recall, it's close to the DC-10. I remember it had a large screen on the front of the coach seating area that showed the plane's flight path, so unusual and modern for the time.

Boeing and Airbus are the big dogs, but about 1/3 of my flights are on Embraer narrow body jets that seem good enough for a 2 hour or less flight.

I can only think of a few uses either for a purpose or random fun. I used to have an app from early iPhone days called AirChat that was bluetooth chat. I only used it once when the family was split up on an airplane. This was before all the airlines opened up basic messaging apps. It worked pretty well, but that was it. I think it's gone now.

I could see random chats from fun to weird to creepy -- mostly the latter when solo in a bar.

What else given that we're all on wifi and pretty solid cell networks. Heck even basic satellite messaging works now too.

yet he never clarifies if the average follows a classic bell curve, otherwise, wouldn't it be "think how stupid the median person is ..."

Meanwhile in Niger ...

Yep. Today I was troubleshooting a library called Mapstruct where the deep mappings are complicated. My boss with his MS in CSci just loves to adhere to these things. It is a good library, but like anything falls apart in messy situations.

I've solved these issues through painstaking debugging in the past. Now, I use AI Tool (TM) and give a clear instruction of what I'm trying to solve. 80-90% chance it figures it out. Today, Friday, it did. I reviewed the changes, submitted the PR and called it a weekend. I'm over 50. I will shortcut the shit out of these library/framework sinkholes as long as I understand what's proposed and tidy up to my liking.
