Or at least require that uncapped tiers be available.

Isopropyl alcohol works well for cleaning pine sap.

If oil is only being used in a product that won't eventually be burned and produce CO2, then that's a big win.

I've worked on pricing. There's a lot of complexity, even with a fairly simple product. Our product was a monthly subscription with 4 different tiers. Complications included:

  - Annual plans that include a discount vs paying month to month.
  - Introductory pricing (and how long that lasts)
  - Promo codes
  - Dealing with multiple currencies
  - Pricing on iOS, where you have to pick on of their "pricing tiers"

That's exactly what they've been showing. "Disable your ad blocker or get premium" in essence.

Watching the actual talk is much better: https://ripe86.ripe.net/archives/video/1126/

I guess it's a question as to how many varieties of spelling you want to make available as "translations" in software (e.g. color vs colour, tire vs tyre).

There's plenty of regional variants just within the US, but "en_us" covers the whole country.

The ghost flight already loses money. It exists to enable the flight to Melbourne to exist - it is essentially an additional cost to run that flight.

The increased cost would be passed on to the ticket prices of the Melbourne flight. The ghost flight would only be eliminated if the increased prices lower demand enough that the Melbourne flight (including the cost of running the ghost flight after it) becomes unprofitable.

I'm not sure how that would help here. The costs of tickets would go up proportionally, but the incentives to run the ghost flights would still be there.

The airlines should be allowed to pay a fee equivalent to the cost of running the flight (or slightly less), rather than having to actually fly an empty plane.

I'd suspect it kills TCP connections once a threshold of data has been transferred, and the threshold is enough to let text through but not enough for attachments.

Plus, some parts of plants do "want" to be eaten - namely fruits, as a strategy to spread seeds.

If you happened to watch/click on a video that you don't want recommendations for, go into your history and delete them, and then you'll stop getting recommendations for similar videos.

What forms do they charge for? I've only seen them charge for state taxes.

I still have my 90s Pokemon cards. Haven't found any that are really worth anything.

When teaching myself as a kid, I quickly realized that win32 was way over my head. However, web stuff seemed easy enough, so I started teaching myself web development instead. This was in the early 2000s, before everything started moving to web applications. It certainly managed to pay off!

I never did learn win32...

Privacy could be a use case for those e ink license plates that have started showing up in California.

Instead of the "real" number, change the plate every 5 minutes using some sort of OTP algorithm. Makes it impossible for anyone with a camera to put together a location database, but the car is still identifiable by law enforcement if necessary.

In a high rise, are the windows really helping with egress? I'd think access to multiple stairwells is what'd be key for safety.

This sort of ad just doesn't seem useful for this type of app.

I'd think most people would want a meal planning app that they can use right away, so they'd just download a different app when they see yours isn't available yet.

I wonder how many of those "pre-registrations" thought they could install it right away, saw they couldn't and then just found something else.

It could make sense if someone lists the tickets for less than their market value - perhaps they're trying to be nice and are reselling at face value, or just need the tickets to sell quickly.

In this case, StubHub could buy them and re-sell them to arbitrage the seller's price and the true market value.

What if you live in an apartment complex that doesn't provide charging? Or if you have to park on the street?

I think there could be an argument that it's copyrightable but not a derivative work.

If I read a few books about a subject as research, and then I write an article about the subject, it's my own copyright. The fact that I did research doesn't make it derivative of those books (correct me if I'm wrong, IANAL).

Perhaps a model created from copyrighted material be treated in the same way?

Looks like it's licensed to "BBC Select" in the US. https://www.bbcselect.com/watch/take-me-to-titanic/

Do you not go to national parks and other similar places where you wouldn't be able to get an Uber?

Doesn't work if you want to keep the tax revenue in the state whose roads you used. Gas tax mostly does this (albeit imperfectly).

Used to go there all the time - had no idea it was the bar where the iPhone prototype was lost (which happened long before I moved to the Bay).

If you're using Netflix through a browser, they wouldn't have access to the SSID.

My internet works luckily, but recently noticed that whoever installed the coax in the house we're renting just cut through one of the crawlspace vents, leaving a giant hole for mice/etc to get in through. Real quality work there...

"break" and "continue" are both effectively a "goto", and they're pretty commonly used.

I bought Minecraft back in 2010. Haven't played in ages, but figured I'd merge the accounts, and give it another go. After I merged, it now says I don't own the game and have to buy it again.

Edit: Logged in again and now it's working. Go figure
