Though (if both spouses were working & had access to employer sponsored insurance), wouldn't the husband being fired result in a qualifying change for the woman, allowing her to enroll on her employer's insurance plan, thus covering the pregnancy?

This wasn't asset stripping. They did a dividend recap. Asset stripping is transferring assets outside of the credit group.

I'm well aware this is out of the usual box for HN - but please don't downvote just because I'm not a programmer (?)

Yep, thanks for the response!

It was the FIT export that had me download it initially. Not sure it supports turn-by-turn though; haven't tried recently.

I just downloaded Footpath, since I'm not a fan of Strava's routebuilder.

However, and forgive the ignorant question, how different is Footpath to EasyRoute (which is free, & supports uploads to Wahoo, Strava [iirc], and others)?

A number of restaurants in NYC tried to go the "no tip, it's included in the price" route, and had to reverse course.

While I find Shazam to be amazing, I find SoundHound's capabilities even better in terms of identifying a song based on humming the tune or hearing a live version.

I was at a live jazz concert last night, and the trio started playing a riff on tune I recognized but couldn't exactly place. SoundHound nailed it (Sonny Rollins "Four"), while Shazam had no idea.

Cancer is a risk of long-term use of immunosuppressants in transplant populations as well[0].

I feel like it's "everything" right now. Finding happiness. Impending divorce, possibly losing my kids, fighting with my soon-to-be-ex-spouse with regards to the kids education & where to live, how to make ends meet, etc. Being miserable with my career... It's a long list.

A lot of this may have to do with the building & management -- often times, the building's condo/coop board strikes an exclusivity deal with the ISPs and get a share of the revenue.

Yep - was going to say just about the same thing - they've simply rolled out an old idea that had been developed in the 1830s.

So what happens if you're a member of TSA Pre / Global Entry and you land yourself on this list?

What's worse these days is, ever since the Equifax breach, certain institutions have taken to asking me for the last 6 digits of my social (or even worse... all of them...)

Looks like they have a number of aircraft registered, some as rotorcraft, some as gliders.

13 engines, electric.

And clearly they have built multiple aircraft (I haven't found N-numbers for all of them yet).

A significant proportion of utilities are regulated by states' Public Utility Commission, and the utility bring rate cases to the PUCs every so often, which set theoretically regulated rates of return on equity (which therefore in turn drives prices).

So -- vastly oversimplifying -- unless the PUC targets a lower ROE, it's unlikely to see electricity prices fall.

Off-topic & realize it's a throwaway account, but would be interested in discussing the career-switch with you.

Minor suggestion - would be nice to be able to rotate map to align street grid (eg, NYC) to top vs true North as used.

"PE firms do pretty villainous things" -- in whose name? Investors in many PE funds are often .... you guessed it: pension plans chasing returns for their retirees.

I work in the field - years ago I had someone create a small program called "TurnOffF1" that runs silently in the background. It captures any F1 keypush in Excel only & blocks the Help popup.

Wish I had the source code for the program.

Legitimately curious about this:

"Throughout the day, the lawyers field questions from a roster of start-up clients looking to execute routine legal tasks, like fundraising from venture capitalists and issuing stock options to employees. Engineers watch the dealings closely, extracting bits of information from the conversations and the documents exchanged.

So what happens to client-lawyer privilege, if engineers are watching / listening in / reading? Isn't that automatically waived, and isn't this a problem?

(Edit: formatting)

Either way a sale / transfer of ownership triggers tax consequences.

Couldn't this have been done as an ESOP?

Thanks! I hadn't actually followed that. I remembered about an argument between him and Kristian von Bengtson (which led to vB's departure), but thought he was still with the group.

Looking forward to the upcoming launch!

It's unfortunate to see this & negative press on Copenhagen Suborbitals. Hopefully it doesn't shut down the program.

Late follow up, but also NYC based & could potentially split driving.

"Even during civil wars, militias will spare the other side's power because they want to use it when they conquer the other side's territory."

Yes & no -- the US military has used graphite bombs[0] to disrupt power systems, however in a relatively non-destructive manner.

There are couple out there, summarized here [0]

- compressed air cavern

- molten salt

- regenerative crane

- pumped hydro

- inclined rail

It's unrelated to the coffin corner.

Planes in the ~80s were flying NY<>London faster than today -- the fuel savings generated by flying slower are what is driving the decision.

Didn't Amsterdam have a "park it anywhere" bike share system about ~20 years ago? The white bikes, which if memory serves mostly ended up in pieces, in the canals, chained up to people's front steps, or repainted and sold by drug addicts for next to nothing.

FYI NYC bike share program has a 2-minute timer on checking bike in and checking it out again.
