Rich people like Musk generally just have the doctors/nurses make house calls. I have my doubts that Musk is going the legitimate medical treatment route but it's a popular practice. Michael Jackson had a Dr. Feelgood at his house basically all the time.

There is an existing years-old and actively developed reimplementation of Notepad++ that runs on macOS, called NotepadNext:

So changing the name from "Notepad++" to "Nextpad++" is now confusing people to think it's related to NotepadNext...

Reasons vary. I know someone working in HR at a famous Japanese company. Rotating employees to offices around the world generally falls into 3 categories- 1. Giving experience, or rewarding good workers the company would like to develop into management. 2. Temporarily getting rid of useless or unliked employees without needing to fire them, which is very difficult in Japan. 3. Specialists for specific projects where hiring US citizens would be too much of a hassle. Employees in category 2 tend to be assigned to developing or undesirable countries, but some do come to the US too.

Fixed it for you "A Robot^H^H^H Dummy that can slam luggage against wall, dent it, and steal my laptop. Technology is a marvel." sometimes I feel like they have been parading the same automaton for the last 10 years.

After seeing the capabilities of the Boston Dynamics model/style of robots and with AI's apparent learn rate one some engineer would have figured out by now how to connect the wires (no disrespect to the field) but these marketing events are doing more to diminish the perception of progress.

The truth varies slightly from the headlines. These companies paid huge sums for offshore leases. Trump is refunding those. Still a boneheaded move but the companies involved are definitely not profiting or happy about this outcome.

Geothermal developments are legit. Essentially, most of the US geothermal sites were built/drilled back in the 70s and 80s. Hydraulic fracturing and some of the other oil and gas drilling advancements of the past 30 years have yet to be applied to geothermal. There is room for a new player to tie these things together, especially if they can build turnkey plants or sell steam to existing sites on long term contracts (they plan for both). However, they aren't worth anywhere near $3B.

There's more than just USB-C and HDMI and ethernet, though. There's SD card slots, microSD card slots, SSDs, USB-C cards (technically also thunderbolt), USB-A cards, audio cards, DisplayPort cards, HDMI cards, GigE cards, and 10GigE cards. I believe there's also a wireless mouse dongle garage card coming. The whole point of these is so that you don't need to carry any dongles, and for most people on the go (because if you're at home, use a dock), they're unlikely to need to plug in more than four things to a laptop at the same time.

That said, it'd be nice if the Framework 13 had six card slots instead of four like the 16.

The fundamental issue is that theaters need to generate a certain amount of revenue per square foot to be profitable. People "rent" small amounts of space for a couple hours then they leave. But theaters are massive buildings, the desirable time slots are finite, and even on a good day it's a struggle to pack a theater. Somebody has to pay for everything and it seemes to be a figure that requires high gross profits and extensive upselling to get to that number.

$500-600 for a new entry-level Macintosh laptop (Neo) or desktop (Mini) is quite reasonable, and the hardware on offer is suitable for most people's needs.

Yes, you can get Windows laptop for $300, but the quality and specs of what you're getting at that price is... questionable.

You don't need a techbro robotaxi to tell you where potholes are in Montreal. Just pick any random street in the city. It will have potholes. Finding them isn't part of the problem.

There was an initial large disruption as they dumped a huge number of packages into alternate delivery systems that weren't prepared for the sudden massive increase in load. Within a few weeks, it had settled down, and shipping times had improved enough that same-day and next-day shipping were once again available, albeit with shorter "order by" windows. The quality of the delivery experience has dropped significantly (in terms of failed/late deliveries) due to them relying exclusively on "Intelcom" (a gig delivery service) rather than Amazons own delivery system.

My understanding of how it works, at least for Montreal (which used to have multiple Amazon warehouses in the metro area), is that all orders are shipped from the Toronto area, a ~6 hour drive away. Amazon loads orders onto big Amazon trucks (semi trailers) and drives them to an Intelcom distribution centre in Montreal, and Intelcom handles the last-mile delivery. Intelcom doesn't do inter-city delivery, and Amazon doesn't have any infrastructure in Montreal (or Quebec more broadly).

As for why Amazon services Montreal's orders from Toronto (a ~6 hour drive away) instead of Ottawa (a ~2 hour drive away), my only guess is that Ottawa (1.5m metro pop) wasn't big enough absorb all of Montreal's (4.3m metro pop) demand, but Toronto (6.2m) was.

That ultimately won't matter, because the workers have already been laid off, and the courts can't order Amazon to reverse the decision. The best case scenario is that several years down the road, Amazon will have to make a one-time payout to the workers.

One of Amazon's warehouses in the Montreal area (Laval) unionized. Amazon took the nuclear response and closed every warehouse in the entire province, seven in total. All Amazon orders destined for Quebec are now shipped from Ontario.

Clive Sinclair's company collapsed within five years of shipping their first computer. Perhaps not a good counter-example.
