Not anti-trust, but you can apparently bribe the FCC to get a merger through. This just came out today.

unlike at a conventional grocery store, nothing is sold by weight

Costco and TJs both sell items like meat by weight, they're just pre-labeled so they can be scanned rather than weighed at the register. Things like produce that might be weighed elsewhere are sold by each or container though.

Cool, they probably changed it, this was years ago. I've had similar issues with other companies, REI is just the only one I can I really recall right now.

I've had some reject my e-mail address because it contains their company name. REI was one (ie it wouldn't allow rei@domain.com but would accept reicoop@domain.com)

You can proxy responses with a ton of e-mail clients, even Gmail supports it once you verify you can get a message sent to that address.

That fact here was if Musk should have known about the potential breach of charitable trust before 2021 given it started in 2019, if not before, with Microsoft investment and he didn't sue until 2024. There is a 3 year statute of limitations.

Much of those billions of dollars are contractually limited in how they can use both the principal and gains so it's really not that simple.

I think so.

Stuff like USDA Prime meats are substantially cheaper and same quality as anywhere else. I smoke a lot of meats though.

Organic produce is super cheap. Especially stuff like pre-cut broccoli, lettuce mixes, etc.

Protein powders, crackers, chips, organic yogurt, organic milk, organic eggs, cheese, prosciutto, etc.

Also liquor including decent beer and wine selection.

I get all this stuff, mid to high quality compared to Whole Foods or whatever grocery store. Sure, I could buy higher quality organic meats directly from the farmer over USDA Prime at Costco or more sustainable seafood and what not, but it would easily cost 3-5x.

I don't buy it alot, but people love the bakery - croissants, pies, cakes, etc. and they're high quality, comparable to most local bakeries.

I hate going there and mostly use Instacart to avoid having to, but even with a Instacart mark-up and tip it's cheaper and higher quality than most other options, happy to pay someone else to do my shopping.

That only happens when you have your own data center. That's a whole different issue and most people with their own hardware don't have their own data centers as it's not particularly cost efficient except at incredibly large scale.

I have 3 different banks (well 2 banks and a credit union.) I can use Zelle in my browser from all 3. I don't even have the app installed for 2 of them.

They at least partly figured out fluoride for brushing teeth and in drinking water was a net positive based on teeth health and natural fluoride levels in wells around the world. CDC estimates it reduces cavities by 25%.

So if you build a decent sized data center to consume 160 MWh you can get 2 SMRs and call it a day.

Or you can buy 480 Tesla MegaPacks (about 6 acres) and 1600 acres (it's roughly 1 MW per 5 acres) of solar panels to run the DC and charge the batteries during the day. Sure some can go on the building, but you'd still need way more acreage than that can provide.

I know what I would bet on too.

Did you mean rhodium?

tsx was a MIT server that hosted minix, Linux, etc. It wasn't a distribution per se.

It's the good faith exception to the exclusionary rule, you can thank the Supreme Court.

What about those in the northern half of the US that also need back-up heat for when it is very cold?

This heat pump is supposed to work to -15F and includes back-up resistive heat. Theoretically it can replace a heater and air conditioner anywhere. I know people north of Chicago that use a similar heat pump and resistive backup system and it's been fine to -30F keeping the house at 69F.

I don't know the contractors they are talking about, but I literally had to say the words "heat pump" to my local Carrier installer and they did all the rest.

There's definitely a bias against them when natural gas is available. Until probably the past 3-4 years very few HVAC contractors in the midwest were familiar with heat pumps or had bad experiences 5-15 years back and recommended against them as it's "too cold" for them to work here.

Or make it available on DVD.

I know this was the incentive behind a lot of the people financially supporting the warez scene in the past.

but I have not heard one ounce of buyer's remorse from any of the other brands.

The only solid reason I've heard to buy Tesla over others is for the Supercharger network if you travel a lot or can't charge at home. Everything else comes down to preference.

You forgot play the peering game which can lead to substantially cheaper bandwidth when you connect to enough Tier1/2 ISPs. I think Hetzner does this some as well.

I would assume the MSP is running a dedicated instance and can do a full/backup restore just for the user they're supporting.

If it's some multi-tenant solution it's no better.

but I don't understand why a medium/large business would choose anything but an on-premises setup.

Atlassian is in the process of killing the on-premise small/medium business option, already announced an EOL date.

Move to the cloud, buy a 500+ user solution for a much higher price or migrate away are my choices. Of course I use the local database and have local services JIRA/Confluence talk to so it's not really an option to move to the cloud.

I assume lack of competent on-site staff 24/7, having someone else to blame as well as lower costs are why people choose the cloud over on-premise though.

It's probably completely do-able in the US except in the top 20 or so COL locations - https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/region_rankings_curren...

Prepaid cellular phones and Google Voice aren't available in most parts of the world with a little effort?

They do the equivalent of investigative journalism. Arguably everything they know is public, just no one has looked or put all the pieces together until they do a press release.

I think a material % would go away if we stopped feeding it to cows as well, a la regenerative ag.

but plenty of people want in person school because it IS better.

For some kids, lots of data showing some kids thrived and improved while others suffered.

It supports Mozilla. Browser is pretty important, but they do other things like Rust.

And motorcycles.

In this case the concern is with interference in the 4.0-4.2Ghz spectrum, nothing specific to 5G technology.

Is this frequency congested anywhere in the world with or without 5G technology to test?
