Some carriers have apps to allow you to receive an SMS over data (eg. Message+ on Verizon)

Based on your tone, it seems like you are critical of the article, but your critique is actually what the article is addressing. Specifically, "Effect 2" demonstrates a unique property of "induced demand" that doesn't fit into traditional discussions of supply and demand.

Cooking with natural gas is detrimental to indoor air quality (https://www.vox.com/energy-and-environment/2020/5/7/21247602...), and improving indoor air quality is specifically called out as a motivation for the new restrictions in the article. And as far as natural gas usage patterns, I believe most natural gas is used for heat and hot water, with the amount used for cooking being relatively small.

About 51% of California electricity consumption is from hydro, nuclear, and renewable sources (https://www.energy.ca.gov/data-reports/energy-almanac/califo...). On top of that, many new electric heating systems would probably use heat pumps, which bring in 2-4 times as much heat into the house relative the the amount of electric energy consumed. In combination, that means that even accounting for transmission and generation losses, using electric instead of gas heat in new construction should result in significant savings in carbon emissions.

That's actually not what legal tender means: https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/faqs/Currency/Pages...

I think they would still tell you to return, since any costs in the US would be paid by your regular medical insurance, not your travel insurance.

Good to see this reported, I've definitely been experiencing this on my 6S.

I use Apple Maps pretty regularly since I have a car with CarPlay. Most of the time, it works fine. But for trips in heavy traffic, I always turn to Google Maps to find the best route. I'm considering getting an Android phone as my next phone just to have Android Auto. Is Google Maps missing in CarPlay because Apple doesn't want to allow it or because Google doesn't want to provide it?

Tried an Impossible Burger for the first time the other day. In a burger with lots of condiments and toppings, it was OK, but not something I'd order again. When I took a bite of it by itself, it tasted like cat food.

Since there are so many positive reviews, I wonder if it just wasn't prepared correctly? The restaurant had only started serving it a few days earlier.

Could this be accomplished with a pull request into their feature branch?

This seems really inefficient - group plans are cheaper than individual plans, and the premiums are tax-deductible, unlike individual plans. I suspect you're also driving away older workers, since the ACA allows insurance companies to charge older customers up to 3 times as much as younger ones. Maybe it would be ideal for everyone to be on the individual market and for group plans not to exist, but that's not the world we live in.

There's nothing illegal about data caps as long as they are made clear. T-Mobile got in trouble here because they marked the plan as 'unlimited'. From the article: "'Consumers should not have to guess whether so-called ‘unlimited’ data plans contain key restrictions, like speed constraints, data caps, and other material limitations,' said FCC Enforcement Bureau Chief Travis LeBlanc in a statement."

Would love to be fast-tracked, currently using Docker to work on an open-source project. Username is jochakovsky.
