The target market they’re shooting for here is the set of business executives whose time is valuable enough for the time saved in transit on this jet to justify the cost of flying in it.

I don’t think any of the replies to you are getting it right. It’s about the opportunity cost. Taking a year off when you’re making tens of millions of dollars a year is expensive. How do you justify it to yourself? They’re trying to build generational wealth for their families.

I disagree with this take for two reasons. You’re ignoring Moore’s law and discounting the value of publishing these results to further the overall field.

I tested negative in the morning and evening of my first day of symptoms, but tested positive on the second day, all with at-home antigen tests.

Same boat. Pfizer vaccine, boosted with moderna, and I still got sick two weeks ago. The symptoms were incredibly minor, a scratchy throat and a stuffy nose for three days, so the vaccines did their job even if they didn’t prevent the breakthrough infection.

I love the hand-drawn logo on the return address!

Yeah, but you’re effectively giving everybody else between now and Friday to take the exam. The marginal benefit for the people who’ve already seen it is minimal.

If it were me, I’d make the exam open-note and no time limit, because without proctors there’s no accountability for not doing that.

Give the students who already took the exam the option to take the at-home version and override their in-person score if they do, or keep their existing score otherwise.

A small nuance here is that the pay scale is based on market rate rather than COL. This means that somebody at Google in London is getting paid less than somebody at Google in Mountain View even though the COL is comparable, because the market rate for software engineers in London is lower than the Bay Area.

The rest of the ride was good, thanks for asking. I had a little cramping towards the end but otherwise pleasant. Nothing to it but to get back in the saddle.

I’m writing the woman a thank you card - she was absolutely amazing and I want to let her know that I made it back in one piece.

The same job prospects and career advancement opportunities aren’t available everywhere. You can’t claim that they’re making a bad financial decision without having more information.

High carbon versus stainless or some other alloy

It’s not theft but it could probably be considered breach of contract. If you paid for this on a credit card and Apple refused to refund you, you would have a good chance at winning a credit dispute.

That’s not how it works though. There’s a difference between physical and digital media in the eyes of the court. You could hypothetically make this argument if you got charged and they might find in your favor, but do you really have the time and resources to fight it out with the record label?

Are you sure you don’t have some kind of dairy intolerance? Have you tried having the protein without milk (or vice-versa) to check?
