The thing is that should essentially be a same-day transaction, if not a single transfer with a transparent step in the middle. The story doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me-- saving even 1% in total fees is only $4kUSD, but for a transaction like that I would expect to be closer to 0.3% fees. Sure, it is a nice chunk of cash, but it is like the stupidity of doing the transaction in gold coins taped to your body as you fly.
For anyone doing this in the future, the smartest approach is generally to move money in small chunks over time rather than one big payment, even for things like buying a house. Find out your actual transaction costs after the first round, and work from there.
I always wonder how this really works in the food service industry, beyond the customer-facing stuff. Much of the single-use product in the kitchen is to prevent contamination. It would be great though if Starbucks stopped pouring my iced tea in a disposable plastic cup before pouring that into my reusable cup though.
Hawaii will not be able to pull this off though. They have so little local packaging (or production) of products that they lack any control of what is in the grocery stores. Maybe they can just tax it extra to pay for the rail...
I honestly don’t get how the majority of companies could survive with Libre Office or Google Docs for any reasonable number of their employees. They both do 80-95% of what I need, but that missing portion makes it a non-starter. Once you add in the need to share your documents outside your organization it gets worse.
I so wish it was a slam dunk.
Sadly, we will move from Google Apps for Business to all Office 365 so the contacts and calendaring work properly.
While I don’t run a multi-million dollar crypto currency exchange, a fair amount of my personal net worth would be quite difficult for my wife to access if I died. We keep meaning to set up a revocable trust for that purpose, but it isn’t a quick and easy thing to do.
When you are dumb and 30, some of these things don’t register quite the same way. Especially when you are paranoid. The laptop might have an encrypted backup...somewhere, same for the cold wallet keys, but finding it might be hell.
And even when the silos do communicate, things like trust chains and business units can make it a pain.
While dellteamnet.com might be ambiguous, it might actually be for intranet.storage.marketing.dell.com. For my company, we have two legacy domain names (.com and.net) or our original, rediculously long domain name (20 characters... only took us a month to justify paying for a 6-letter domain), and two backup domains that likely should be retired. That is for just 50 people...
You are looking at a very small part of the problem. Increasing emissions in any combustion cycle increases NOx (higher combustion temperatures). Once you get beyond that, this is coal we are talking about, so the “trace elements” have to be dealt with.
About the only way to have “clean coal” is to gasify it, which still isn’t that clean (even if you are capturing the CO2). At least then most of the waste products can be used for something.
You are actually better off from an efficiency perspective with PV and a heat pump hot water heater, unless you need higher than 120F water. Running it from the bathroom exhaust in the winter and indoor air in the summer and you are golden.
Logic being that you are decoupling hot water demand from sunshine, so both resources are fully utilized. Off-grid the math is different, as well as when you need 140F water.
You missed the word modern; what is important is that it allow for different modes of communication-- text, voice, video, sending attachments. I prefer e-mail for almost everything except when *I* want text messages, but the opportunity to seamlessly transition to a phone or video call is pretty big.
The frameworks are there for a distributed system, there just aren't applications really supporting it.
Agree on the drug problem, but that is an extreme end of the spectrum.
However loaning out $500MM in base-tier financing (the base 10% of a total project cost) does help get housing built. That is the money with nothing physical to back it up yet, and it is much higher risk. You can easily help get $5B in housing built every 3-4 years.
...except for the whole dumping the dustbin thing. I can only imagine precious few scenarios where it is a worthy investment. Too dumb to stop getting stuck under the wall-hung toilet.
This had (IIRC) a cruise speed of ~125knots, so actually a pretty reasonable speed. It could be used at minimally-prepared facilities, and can transport bulky, out-sized cargo much more efficiently than the AN224 or 747.
It sucks to be on the employee side, but sometimes it is the best solution to get a healthy churn.
Most of the SpaceX people I see are younger, and might need a little push to broaden their horizons, especially towards the lower end. I imagine, from what I do understand of their culture, they want more people fresh from college.
I cringe too much when it is on in public places to be unbiased myself, but even when they are stating fact, they appear to editorialize with intonation, facial expression, and posture to push more credibility to the conservative points and less to the liberal points.
With a few commentators gone, they seem to be a little more subtle, but not dramatically different in their policies. Again, this is just 20 minute spots where I am stuck listening to them. Granted they do stand out because their slant is conservative vs liberal for the majority of the media, as would be expected.
(I think CNN is equally guilty of sensationalizing to support a 24-hour news cycle, which makes their information barely watchable.)
This is an easy way to take the student loans least likely to default for a great return on investment. The higher risk pool then is your poly-sci majors and their ilk. Nice, easy way to make money.
Yeah... for your first employee you have to look at what it costs you to hire the person and/or to replace them if they leave for some random reason like "shitty computer." Generally, $500 isn't going to make or break the company, but can have a huge impact on employee perception.

It was likely more about avoiding utility mapping and avoidance.

No chance in hell Heathrow will open a third runway in 2025. It is unlikely they will even have a ground-breaking by then.
Everything but video.

All for WhatsApp dying, but what is going to replace it? There is a real need for a modern cross-platform messaging system.

No shit, Facebook thinks people care about that. Extremely curious when the whipper-snappers will wake up and just talk to their friends.

It is a little different; this solution uses aerodynamic lift during cruise, but you do have some of the same concerns on or close to the ground.
This had (IIRC) a cruise speed of ~125knots, so actually a pretty reasonable speed. It could be used at minimally-prepared facilities, and can transport bulky, out-sized cargo much more efficiently than the AN224 or 747.
I hope they are successful; it is a cool system.

Personally, I am much more a sucker for a good cover letter than an artificial LinkedIn profile.
I will try to drink less Sunday night and fight the urge to be lazy the next few weeks to get us back on track!
Sadly, with cheap Lyft fares, it is easy to be lazy.
No, they were forced to do that repair for $29 rather than their old price of $99, which made it a no-brainer for most people.
Screen cracks are the only thing forcing people to look at upgrading (when battery dies) now.
