Do you know of anywhere at all to get one of the devices that don’t require re-calibration?

> My father was a Vietnam veteran and a lifelong Republican. He liked to say that women belong in the kitchen. I had become an environmental studies professor, a member of the East Coast liberal elite, a daughter he was ashamed to introduce to his friends at the Post.

It's pretty clear from the context that it's a "badge of shame" label from the point of view of her father, applied since she went down the path of academia instead of becoming a housewife.

I’ve owned both a Frigidaire cooktop and an LG range, both with knob-controlled induction. Both great and not too pricey.

It’s their inverse Nintendo R.O.B.

You wouldn't really need a heated garage (at home, anyway) if you had a 220 volt charger. That should be able to overcome any charging challenges in extreme cold, anyway. Relatively easy to get that into your garage.

Also - if you arrive at your friend's place in the winter and park overnight, you won't lose a ton overnight if the car's just parked there.

Curious: Did they just delist from the App Store, or did they also revoke certs so that previously installed instances of the app no longer launch?

> there is the other side as well, PM : build me a bike. Dev: here is a spaceship. PM: but i wanted a bike. Dev: bike make no sense if u can travel using a spaceship.

At the risk of being overly nitpicky (because I understand and agree with the general point you're getting at):

That spaceship _is_ super awesome and far superior to a bike if you need a solution that'll get you a far distance in a short amount of time.

But what if the need is something that's safe, cheap, and doesn't require complicated infrastructure to support? A bike might be a better solution.

Blame the PM if they're not making those priorities and needs clear, though.

Thank you!

A bit off-topic, but would love pointers to your top books / content on how to keep them challenged, how to steer negative behavior into something more positive, etc.

Beyond the usual "email / write / call your state congressperson," are there any effective ways to lobby for changes to Prop 13?

I'm curious - what are the most popular use cases you see leveraging the SDK?

Thanks, DTE!

I emailed Amy's Kitchen recently to ask what's in the lining of their soup cans. (I saw that they recently started labeling them as 'BPA free,' but I was concerned about BPS, etc.) Here's what they replied with:

"The inside of our cans are lined with a double-coated acrylic and polyester protective barrier made without BPA, BPS, BPF, BADGE or NOGE. It complies with the FDA requirements for direct food contact under the Code of Federal Regulations. You'll be glad to know that as of March 2012, all of our canned foods have this non-BPA lining."

I don't know enough to judge whether there's anything still worrisome in a "double-coated acrylic and polyester protective barrier" - but they didn't substitute BPA with BPS, at least.

I recently bought a 22oz Lifefactory glass bottle. Mostly covered with silicone for durability. It's a bit heavy, but otherwise great.

Only downside is that the cap is made out of polypropylene, but polypropylene is apparently BPA, BPS, and phthalate free. (May still have other issues, of course.)

I don't know if "most" is true, but Air France and British Airways were avoiding it at least, and I recall reading Delta had been as well.

I'm always missing phone calls and timely text messages because I don't feel my phone vibrating in my pocket.

Pebble solves that. Plus the white version is, as far as I'm concerned, a nicely stylish accessory too.

That justified the use, for me.
