It doesn't. You connect it to the hotel wifi and then complete the captive portal requirements on your phone, laptop, etc.

If you think NFLX is going to increase x%, then your total comp goes up accordingly. If you took straight cash, you'd only recognize those same gains if you had purchased NFLX with it.

Coast Starlight gets you from Emeryville to LA, and Pacific Surfliner would complete the trip to San Diego.
That’s because they’re not actually contracted with the companies they’re recruiting for.
The darkest red areas are significantly worse, 1 in 210 in some spots.

They’re not a “late contributor” if what they bring to the table is nonexistent today.
Apple News+ helps there a lot. $13/mo for articles from a ton of paid outlets. It’s not everything on those sites, but I find that most of the popular articles are available.
There are theories that smart tvs connect to open networks if they’re offline.

Quietly pulling the piece without a retraction is pretty shady as well
Re:Diffy – A Tool for Sharing Diffs on Wednesday May 29, 2024 @12:08PM (#40513495)
Very nice! An example diff on the landing page would help show the tool off. I copied a random commit from GitHub to test it on my phone.
Distributing the work across machines essentially comes for free with the ability to replay workflows from any step. You could run all of your worker processes on a single machine if it had enough capacity, but resuming a workflow on a different machine is transparent to your workloads assuming there's no local state.

Given the Optic ID demo, I assume it's locked to authorized users only and not valuable outside of being a source of parts if stolen.

Look at the reaction to Adobe's behavior when people terminate their yearly subscription early and are still required to pay for the entire contract. They're not selling Photoshop by month, it's installments on a yearly contract.
Why the focus on coal? California as a whole only sourced 3% of its energy from coal in 2021, and some regions were at 0%. It only made up 20% of the entire US' consumption in 2022

Check out pirateweather.net; most of the Dark Sky API functionality is available
How long would it have taken? They're buying time
Re:Cash buyers make up almost a third of U.S. home purchases on Sunday September 18, 2022 @03:53PM (#32890887)
It's slightly confusing because when a lot people (at least in CA) talk about competing with cash buyers it just means the deal isn't contingent on a mortgage. They may very well be mortgaging the property, but the deal isn't going to fall through because they can't secure financing.
It’ll keep going as long as people tolerate it and continue to work for these exploitative organizations.
Re:VW to Rework $56B Battery Push on Samsung Deal Risk on Sunday June 02, 2019 @01:21PM (#20076718)
I think that there’s a bug difference between a site that’s clearly an aggregator (HN) and something with original content and thin wrappers around another site’s content.

The majority of these items are applicable to any startup.
Because delivering ads to a few billion people is a hard problem which leads to needing good engineers. They pay _really_ well compared to smaller orgs because it's difficult to hire that talent and ads are _very_ profitable.

Re:Yubico and Microsoft Introduce Passwordless Login on Tuesday May 08, 2018 @06:53PM (#17026048)
Why would Twitter logging the challenges make the key useless? That data has no value and can't be replayed in a future login attack.

It's per account and can be doubled with a "payable on death" designee.
