My struggle is that I look at it as a time/cost relationship. I'd rather use my time more wisely because the cost of me maintaining a pantry, cooking, and cleaning for one outweighs the cost of getting takeout. It's probably an excuse more than anything but my work schedule can be irregular and makes it more difficult to plan.

I was flying through Schiphol airport and they had facial recognition entering the gate. It scanned my face and then brought up my passport.

Facial recognition is already here and in some capacity being used for flight travel.

Any person who looks at Trump holistically can't trust his tweets at all. They are consistently contradictory.

I'm originally from Euclid, one of the malls Amazon is snapped up. The area has been dilapidated for a while as it's a popular white flight city for East Cleveland transplants.

I remember ~15 years ago it was just Sears left.

So what happens in the hypothetical that the food sucks and the bill for $300 comes to you. Do you just not pay?

You are implicitly believing in their reputation by selecting the fine dining establishment. I don't really do fine dining so excuse me if this is ignorant, but it seems to me you don't really have recourse after the fact.

Problem is that there are millions of potential customers all who may or may not be flakes. When business could be make or break by one reservation backing out, they have much more to lose way more often than you having an awful experience at a reputable establishment. Tock makes sense in this scenario but you seem like you're being completely unempathetic to the economics of the situation.

Ebay purchases should also have sales tax, it's just that the onus is on you to report it on your taxes rather than being taken automatically. I don't think it's very fair to add that as a negative to Amazon purchases. Other than that, I agree, many things have 10%-15% markup.

Amazon operated under a loss for so long they have a ton of carryover tax credits

The fact they are not paying taxes right now is not a bad thing. We've benefited from them pushing commerce for the last decade

I work for an ISP, seems the issue was localized to Comcast's AS. Probably a network engineer made a change that went bad :)

I work for an ISP, typical cost for just labor + materials for fiber is $10k per mi., labor being the majority of the cost. I live in the midwest and fiber techs start getting paid around $25 per hour and it can take a crew of 2-3 guys for a few hours per household which if you have in-house guys isn't as much but if you're contracting it out can inflate cost 2-3x. That's if you don't have to make the run down the street and live close to a node.

RADb or some other RIR database registration is what my company requires. This wont really stop bad actors, however.

Same thing happened to me in Ohio. I had moved nearly two months ago and changed my voting registration almost immediately. Still had my old address listed.

Hopefully, theres nothing that goes wrong with the provisional votes.

Looks like they wanted to capture what people liked about the 1+1

>Non-removeable battery

My only complaint at all. I have an 1+1 and it satisfied everything I could have wanted at $360 price point

I probably will be upgrading to an 1+3, but not for a little while longer. Its seriously still a great phone.

I think to accurately display the relative effectiveness of diet and exercise for weight loss is something like this:

diet & exercise >> diet >>>>>>>> exercise

I like this quote: "You work hard on that machine for an hour, and that work can be erased with five minutes of eating afterward"

I agree. I cringed when I checked out his Github profile because its one of those things that immediately throw up a red flag.

To each their own on their personal time, but you can't seriously expect that being associated with a stigmatized hobby is going to gain you anything.

There really isn't much to be had by spending more on food. Its mostly a flat cost unless you're a connoisseur or professional.

I'm glad I stopped going to Forbes when they put up the adblock blocker

Just like how Italian extra virgin olive oil is never fake.

Tried messing around with it, but bundler dies every time :/

what. his mom is a certifiable US citizen and all doubts are clearly entrenched inside racism.

I live by a major American university and all Yik Yak is used for is Greek rivalries ("Sig Eps eat butt") and recording their "tfm"s

Most people would be satisfied with their hobbies, I think. I know I wouldn't do anything I didn't like anymore.
