Android phones can share their wifi connection like this.
I woke up one morning in college and thought I had overslept. I threw on clothes and ran from my dorm to my class. I walked in two minutes late and grabbed an open seat on the front row, right in front of the teacher.

I didn't recognize anyone and soon realize that I hadn't overslept and was just an hour early. I was too embarrassed to get up and walk out so I sat through the class.

In Deming's Plan-Do-Study-Act cycle, leadership often leaves off Study and Act of which "acknowledge" and "repair" are part of.
Sounds like Clojure's as-> macro (https://clojuredocs.org/clojure.core/as-%3E).

From the article:

> High doses of rapidly digested glucose also activate insulin and other regulatory pathways...

Orange Soda (i.e. Fanta), an SSB, and Orange Juice have glycemic indexes of about 68 and 48 respectively. I assume that's a material difference in that OJ doesn't spike your insulin as abruptly and therefore is not as harmful. Thre's more to it than simply grams of sugar.

One of the first things I read on the site was about the "church tax"[0]. Very interesting.

> You declare your religion when you register your address. The church can also tax you if you were a member in another country. To stop paying the church tax, you must leave the church.

Sounds like a similar concept to Aereo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aereo)

> Aereo leased each user an individual antenna and DVR situated in a remote warehouse that they could access over the Internet, allowing subscribers to view live broadcast television and to record the broadcasts for later viewing.

I would think so! Looks like the author tried some similar approaches.

In the disclaimer section:

> Before creating Isaiah, I tried to "serve lazydocker over websocket" (trying to send keypresses to the lazydocker process, and retrieving the output via Websocket), but didn't succeed, hence the full rewrite.

> I also tried to start Isaiah from the lazydocker codebase and implement a web interface on top of it, but it seemed impractical or simply beyond my skills, hence the full rewrite.

Often we measure what's easy to measure, not what's most important, because important things are often hardest to measure.

"Handle time" (or velocity) is easy to measure, so we measure it. Quality is important, but its hard to measure.

What we choose to measure gets focused on, so handle time (or velocity) ends up taking focus from quality, or customer satisfaction, etc, etc.

There are used-book search engines, like dealoz.com, that search all of the above.
> No one reads the terms of service. Lawmakers want to fix that with 'TLDR' bill

Also and ironically, many bills aren't read by lawmakers. Maybe they're sympathetic.

I tried to use it for help with a wordle. I think the word was EJECT and I had E?E?T. It seemed to understand what I was asking, but came up with 5 and 6 letter suggestions that didn't fit.
I wonder if this could result in another round of costly SOX-like regulations?

I wonder if Microsoft employees (all or portions) have to rotate their passwords due to PCI compliance despite Microsoft's stance on the subject.

What if you said, "Alexa play Ok Google Play Music"? Might be a scenario when both your Alexa and Google devices (e.g. android phones, etc) would start play music unintentionally.

I would imagine for many places, a normal 'day' would actually be split across two dates. That would be confusing!
