I used it for almost a year at the lowest tier, then got the couples plan more recently and it has high spouse approval factor, even though there was some initial setup

Dunno. Check their about page, but appears to be through GCP?

Kagi. Privacy focussed, no ads, and excellent results with options for sorting preferred sources to appear at the top, or not. Costs money but man, it’s fast and good in the way Google was back in the day. Some plans also include anonymous access to a variety of LLMs though they are older models, and if they can run them locally, they do. Really liking it.

You can register on election day at your polling place. Same as always.

For those who haven’t, please consider reading the short story on which it is based by Ted Chiang.

Villeneuve made a number of changes, but there is one in particular that may (or may not) reframe your perception of a character in a notable way. Also, read everything else by Ted Chiang!

There are also a number of popular media articles on how the language piece was developed for depiction on screen.

That you don’t see people in them is at least partially a function of how efficiently they work. I don’t think I understand your second sentence? Multiuse is not great for commuting as multimodal users at varying speeds can make things less safe compared to users moving at the same speed.

Just Watch is a pretty great service for this, especially when recommending a show or movie to others. Other services integrate with it too (like Trakt, which is a nice one stop shop for discovery, scrobbling, and list management).

With the increased density, there is going to need to be some kind of traffic management. They’re grade separating the bike lane from the 20th and 34th intersection which is nice. But they really screwed up the layout on 34th east of 20th. Need more loading zone spots. About to get worse when they start the Co-op construction.

I’m going to keep saying this about measles but it causes immune amnesia which means that all that precious “natural immunity” these ghouls keep professing risks going bye-bye after a measles infection.

Childhood mortality rates take 2-5 years to return to baseline after a measles infection.

This winter, COVID is going to cause some serious problems for all those folks getting infected with measles right now.

I’m snackish. Send foods.

Without knowing the specific curry you’re looking to replicate makes it hard to make specific recommendations but a few things have helped me up my game.

The first is what you use to add a sour note. In the west we often use lime juice, which is great to add sprinkled at the end, but you need to get some tamarind paste for the depth of flavour. It also adds sweetness, but you can instead use some sugar, preferably brown or palm.

Fish sauce is a must to round out the depth of umami and I find soy really doesn’t work for me. If that’s a no-go because of dietary restrictions you might have to add some yeast flakes with the soy sauce, but it’s not going to have the same depth.

If you can get galangal, use it. Same with lemon grass. But again all depends on the specific curry.

No testing on dairy. Bleached chicken.

Don’t forget the antibiotics in antibiotic free beef!

That was my initial reaction, thinking China MUST hold more treasury bonds than anyone else, right? Turns out that’s typically Japan ($1 trillion), and the UK has generally held roughly the same number as China (both in the $700B range). Maybe the US anticipated and had contingencies ready if it was just China doing the selling, but when the other big holders started a slow bleed, it might’ve given them pause? Dunno.

We also don’t know who held what more recently than January and I don’t know if the data gap is the usual lag or if the the people who do this work at the Treasury department got “DOGE’d”.

Bottom line, it’s been fun to think about but I don’t think we should put too much stock in conspiracy theories originating on Substack.

There’s a theory being batted around without too much evidence (hold tight, Snopes is on it) that Mark Carney talked European and Japanese leaders into accumulating US Treasury bonds, and then slow-selling them to make Trump squirm once he imposed the broad-brush tariffs to spook the T-bill market.

The theory sounds mostly plausible in that Carney was in Europe for closed door meetings with European leaders shortly after being designated PM, and that Trump backed off so quickly and used the language of “the bond market is tricky” to justify the change in direction. Dropping demand for T-bills leads the Fed to increase yields to keep the borrowing taps on, means expensive borrowing for them, means no money for tax cuts for billionaires.

On the other hand, the story originates from a twice-fired shock-jock’s Substack.

But it sounds like something a wicked smart Harvard/Oxford educated economist would dream up and pull off…
