I got a better deal. The Pixel 9a which normally sells for $499 is on sale right now for $249. With the $150 store credit and a trade-in of $80 on my Pixel 6a, I was able to upgrade to a new 9a for only $20. Now hopefully the 9a won't have battery issues.

It doesn't seem to me that an integer between 0 and 2 has enough range for most applications.

Only if it is served with fava beans and a fine Chianti.

But... but... if I do that, it means I can only buy as much each month as I can afford. I would be using my credit card only as a convenience for not carrying around lots of cash, instead of indulging myself and letting me live beyond my means. Where is the fun in that?

Um, $150K is just the deposit to reserve a spot. I'm pretty sure the full cost for the ride is quite a bit more.

For years, we have been blatantly copying and sharing music with each other. Napster, torrent sites, you name it. Why buy an album when I can download it or rip a copy from a friend? But now, the AI companies are threatening the livelihood of the artists, and we are finally willing to rally behind them.

D'oh, I should have said ".. if the shop owner had had a brother named Luigi."

...if the shop owner's son had been named Luigi.

I can't read the article because it's behind Bloomberg's paywall, so I apologize if they addressed this there... But it sounds like San Francisco wants to tax Lyft and the drivers for the same money. I don't think that's right. If the drivers have to claim the revenue as income, then Lyft should only have to claim the portion they receive from the drivers.

The correct acronym is Never Twice (the) Same Color.

I am used to seeing duplicate articles here, but now we can see duplicates within the same article. Saves time!
