Verkar som att Bromma flygplats inte har några flygbolag kvar längre nu. Det gör frågan betydligt lättare - riv med detsamma och bygg något bättre där istället.

Zero-indexed versus one-indexed. You all know which is the right one

What’s the derogatory term for boat foamers?

Disclaimer: I think the current U.S healthcare system is hilariously bad and should be heavily reformed.

Insurance is not a bad thing, and there is a clear product involved in it. To demonstrate, you can go to a doctor in the U.S and pay in cash for the treatment. As I’ve understood it, you can even negotiate lower prices than the list prices if you are paying in cash. Still, it’s probably going to be expensive to the point of potential financial ruin.

This is the product that insurance offers in any domain it operates - buying your way out of risks you cannot accept. Fundamentally, the concept is sound, albeit very poorly implemented in the case of U.S healthcare.

It’s basically just a bunch of people pooling their money together and having that pool of money pay in the case of an adverse event.

One of the primary alternatives to the mess that is U.S healthcare today is in fact another form of insurance - it’s just that enrollment would be mandatory and as such the risk spreading would be as uniform as possible, along with subsidies for people carrying higher amounts of risk. That’s fundamentally what universal healthcare is in other countries.

This is the ideal web design. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

Också regeringens fel - avsaknaden av investeringar i tågtrafiken, och rent utav nedläggningar av planerad expansion - ligger till skuld för just det här besväret.

It’s implied from the combination of English and the boss being mad about the worker taking their vacation days tbh

I used to think I didn’t like exercise. As it turns out, I’m just not that into running. I love biking though.

I’ve always loved weight lifting as well, though, so idk

It baffles me that people actually take these assertions seriously, especially after having used different software that uses voice input, like Siri, Google Assistant, Alexa or whatever. Those things make some serious mistakes even under ideal circumstances, and you want me to believe that they can accurately overhear things in non-ideal circumstances? I highly doubt it.

Regardless, you can use an ad blocker to make this a moot point - I’ve never experienced anything even close to this, because I never get ads.

Milei has already claimed that title.

Microwaving some leftovers might be an option. You get the great food you put effort into making, without actually having to make the effort at lunchtime.

Catenaries are cool, use them.

I struggled with this as well, having not enjoyed my teenage years that much.

How I coped was to tell myself that people asserting that period X is the best years of your life are people whose lives peaked at that time, and that this won’t be true if I made sure to not have my life peak then.

I’m happy to say that I’ve proven the assertion wrong in my case. It’s been a steady climb upwards, with every year being better than the latter.

S-tier soundtrack on THPS2, hard agree OP

I consider the question of free coffee to be a litmus test for any company. If you’re not offering it, you are unequivocally a loser not worthy of running a company:

1. It costs next to nothing
2. Caffeine makes the workers more productive
3. Your best outcome is workers who drink a healthy amount of coffee every day

The expected return of offering free unlimited coffee for any work place is positive - and the inverse of not offering free coffee is hence negative.

I don’t think I’ve ever experienced this while flying in the EU, and I’ve done my fair share of it, living here and all.

Average 350k according to levels.fyi.

I was expecting higher for principal tbh

The thing is that you can’t notice when it’s working on account of how seamless it is. Yes, sometimes it breaks down, but these are the exceptional cases.

I’ve been running adblockers since the beginning of time so I can’t speak to this behavior. Spontaneously it seems a bit amateurish, though.

An ABR is generally going to make an estimate based on observed bandwidth and select an appropriate bitrate for that. It’s not out of the question that you run out of forward buffer when your bandwidth takes a nosedive, because the high bitrate video is heavy as all hell and the ABR needs to have observed the drop in bandwidth before it reconsiders and selects a lower bitrate track.

I’m not familiar with ABRs affecting the size of the forward buffer, most commonly these are tweaked based on the type of use-case and scaled in seconds of media.
