The number is likely larger than the article suggests, because both Visa and Mastercard will share updated payment information to merchants who had recurring charges. The paper treats this as a "possibility" (and uses a small lambda factor to adjust for it) rather than the norm that it is in 2024.


> there isn't much you can do against people drinking alcohol, having their phone on speaker or just urinating in the middle

Yes there is. You eject them from the vehicle.


> if you’re trading hundreds or thousands of shares at a time, you’re better off elsewhere

Exactly. Any price improvement other brokerages can offer should be considered net of their fees. Because flat fees per trade are regressive, smaller investors are better off on Robinhood.


Didn't browsers take a stand a few years ago by ignoring "autocomplete=off" on password fields?

I think it’s about time browsers start ignoring any onpaste events on password fields. I’m curious what Chromium folks think - have there been tickets about this? It would be a great way to end this dumb practice.


Firefox has the dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled pref which can be used to prevent a lot of web naughtiness however it does break a couple of legitimate use cases.


Firefox also has signon.storeWhenAutocompleteOff (default true) which ignores such hints.


I did my BS at CMU as well, though it's been around 3 years since I graduated. The Indian food options were not great in Pittsburgh; I remember one restaurant that got shut down by the Allegheny County Health Department. A service like this would have been perfect for me, easy to prepare in crowded shared kitchens or even in my dorm room.

The other options all have their downsides. The imported pre-packaged stuff has a lot of oil (and has an overwhelming amount of garlic) and honestly smells rancid. Frozen options like Amy's are alright, but quite bland. And restaurant delivery, even if available near you, is not very healthy.

It looks like this won't have any of those drawbacks. Excited to try it out.


This "older woman, somewhere in her 60s" probably just consumes a lot of news, as is common for people in that age group.

"DNI" isn't exactly a secret acronym for Director of National intelligence; if you enter the acronym into a news search engine you'd see it's commonly used in news articles. Also the website is literally DNI.gov.

I'd agree the North Korea thing is weird, but maybe she was just making conversation and dug herself into a hole. Plenty of Uber drivers have also told me vague stories about times they visited Country X long ago (many of which I thought didn't check out, but smiled and nodded anyway) just to keep the conversation going.

Certainly it is a possibility that the Uber gig could be some sort of cover, but I think it's unlikely.


> The ACLU has not published its data set, methodology, or results in detail

This is my biggest gripe with how the ACLU has conducted this. I find it hard to distinguish their "test" from clickbait.


Ironically, neither did Dr Matt Wood, the author of this AWS post.

He attempts to refute one unverifiable Rekognition configuration with another.


The way it spread with such virality in the news (NYT, etc...) makes me think it really was engineered clickbait


How does working at a cafeteria provider like Bon Appetit compare to working at a restaurant? By that I mean a place where office workers are likely to get lunch daily, where the typical lunch costs <$10.

Also consider that workplace cafeteria jobs generally have fixed schedules with weekends off.


Never worked at a mass catering company like Compass Group myself, but I know people who have. They are terrible places to work compared to a restaurant.

The smaller catering companies, with <30 employees aren't usually too different from a restaurant, but the big ones are run by corporate bean counters, where everything and everyone is just a number in a spreadsheet.

I guess it's no different from your local mom & pop Italian restaurant vs Olive Garden in that respect though.


I think this tourist map[1] brilliantly depicts what parts most tourists actually stick to, by shrinking the western parts of the city on the map.

There are very few tourists in the vast majority of the Richmond and Sunset, except near the water and Golden Gate Park (around the museums). Also, there are very few tourists south of Bernal Heights Park.

“250fun”, as we ironically called it. It was intense, but the topics were covered in a very interesting way.
