While it wouldn’t be for me— I need the ocean close— many people can do a lot to change their lives in a year in this kind of scenario. Save money, take risks, etc. Even if the “nomads” don’t stay, there is a chance to impact some locals and potentially set forth positive change.
One thing that did surprise me though, prompted by this story, is just how many >$1MM homes for sale there are in Tulsa.
One I remember being famous back in the day was Iomega had released the Zip Drive, and online communities tracked the number of cars in the parking lot on the weekend.
Certain companies do things to obscure their energy use to try to keep that from leaking information. It gets complicated...
The 321 isn’t a “newer” version of the 320, it is a variant designed to hold more people with better economics.
The people have spoken, and they will squeeze into a smaller seat with less legroom to save $10. I am lucky in that I generally fly business class, but when I can no longer afford that option, there aren’t many options beyond the lowest common denominator. Most premium economy seats don’t make enough of a difference to make it palatable. You pay by the square foot of cabin space essentially.
I would tend to agree, although I am biased as a cyclist. Been hit by a car three times myself, and all three were the result of a car turning into me (technically one was a lane incursion). One was someone turning left and misjudjing my speed, and the other two were right turns into me— one while in a bike lane and the other from a car turning across two lanes. Similar story when my wife was hit by a car.
In only two cases did the police come and make a report. If injured, the cyclist is at a huge disadvantage, as their side isn’t fully reported. The only time it goes well for the cyclist is if the driver admits fault.
The difference in times between motorcycles and bicycles likely comes down to endpoint timing more than route timing. If I lean a bicycle against the side of the building it will take less time than parking in a space and walking to the door.
As for the stoplight conundrum, sitting behind cars breathing in the exhaust is unhealthy, and the position is dangerous (cars don’t see bicycles and the car behind you poses a hazard. So, you go forward. For acceleration time, that is why I try to lead out while the light is red, but it is safe. Better for everyone.
But, everybody has to hate someone, so I chose electric bikes. No helmets, poor understanding of cycling etiquette (and rules of the road), disengaged from their speed, and the jackasses that ride on the sidewalk... Ok, electric scooters are worse.
The first wave against cable was actually the TiVo. Skipping the advertisements was necessary to actually watch the programs, and eliminating centralized schedule control gave the user freedom. At that point the “thing” that the cable companies provided was no longer what they were selling.
It will be worse for the streaming providers in the end, IMO. It just isn’t practical to have so many exclusives.
1. Downsize; live in a smaller space closer to work. 2. With the new-found flexibility from downsizing, pick an area that a meaningful percentage of your trips can be walked, cycled, etc. 3. {Don't have kids | Live close to kids' school} 4. Live local 5.

I first went to Bumrungrad Hospital in Bangkok back in 2006; they had a fully electronic system then, and it worked great for the doctors. Some parts of the workflow are scanned in rather than electronic capture, and it appears the system has had minimal supplemental improvements in the intervening decade, but wow it works.
The doctors seem to love it because reviewing the charts and historical data is a breeze. As an added bonus, the hospital supports at least 5 languages, and the specialists don't need to be fluent in all as the system has automatic translations for common diagnostic comments with a backup human system for specialized comment translation.
Sure they could do more to streamline workflow with tablets or something, but they have a clean electronic medical record system that works. Not sure if it can track medicare codes automatically, but I am guessing it is a separate process.
Missing from the summary is the fact that Samasource is a non-profit focused specifically on providing opportunities for some of the worlds poorest people.
One other issue with this generation of warehouses— the unbraced height of the walls is 50’ so over-designing beyond code requirements gets very expensive.
Instagram can compete with Facebook rather than synergize with it. Same thing goes for WhatsApp. Competition includes tracking, advertising, and eyeball hours.
What I am surprised about are the places people go specifically to eat out closing up. Anecdotal, but the local PF Chang's closed its doors, along with two restaurants nearby (one small, another same size as PF Chang's). I get rising rents make businesses review their options, but it seems odd for so many restaurants being closed in areas where people eat out a lot.
Maybe it is just changing trends/demographics, but I really enjoy having meals out. Hope it doesn't go too far...
CAES is better for *energy* storage than [non-flow] batteries. Batteries tend to be better for impulse power storage. CAES vs pumped hydro really comes down to universality of places you can store compressed air, although CAES should be slightly more efficient.
Unfortunately yes... there isn't much else you can do effectively for a heterogeneous network that supports reliable file locking. CIFS/SMB 1.0 should be dead, but going exclusively SMB3 is nearly impossible.
For residential use, yes... but for corporate I have no idea how they pull it off! Just getting SMB/CIFS client connections working reliably borders on insanity. The few (but unavoidable) hooks to the Windows applications makes for a lot of fun too... especially the apps that block installs on RDS machines. And then there is the random shit that just doesn't work on the application level. (I shit you not, a "known bug" of a CAD package is that zooming via an Apple touchpad will crash the program. Hasn't been fixed in two years. Really great when you need to switch back and forth between a windows app via RDS that needs the same gesture to navigate.)
It reduces content acquisition costs, and ensures ongoing access to new content. Their own content is much easier to predict future costs on-- licensed deals not so much.
They are funding a portfolio, not a handful of shows. The portfolio grows over time and adds value. By making the debt long term, every dollar you spend only needs to be reasonably guaranteed to return $0.05-10. Of course, hopefully on average you do much better, but it is essentially seed capital for the portfolio.
What the tech companies are essentially trying to do is vertically integrate creativity, finance, production, marketing, and distribution. Not sure it will work, but they are spending a lot of money to make it happen.
Well, it is actually two processes chained together-- the warm, hot air goes into the second part for condensation. They need the temperature gradient to make it work.
The system pulls the moisture out of the biomass, in addition from what it gets in the air.
As for the complexity, if you ever get the chance go to an air separation plant. Atmospheric air in (plus a few megawatts of electricity), oxygen, nitrogen, argon, water, and some nasties out. Filtering the air is the easy part. The problem is that straight dehumidification via compression and refrigeration is thermodynamically inefficient.

Same tasks as everyone else, just different timing.
But I doubt the delivery drivers are doing that between each run.

Only on a dynamometer.

We might have passed the point that this will work.

Yes... but... do Amazon, Facebook, and Google have that kind of power? (Did Walmart back 20-30 years ago?)

I was wondering if it gives you latitude to recover content you paid for that you "lost" by the provider changing their terms.

The failure is they don't know root cause, and they need better tools and capacity to manage savepoints with their new system.
It sounds like a secondary failure is insufficient testing prior to rollout...
