This is a positive, unbalanced spin on the Cuba issue if I’ve ever seen one.

Read about what this person is talking about for yourself here, especially the section titled “Emigration process and violence”: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariel_boatlift

In Cuba there are also satellite dishes under RF transparent roofing materials, usually DirectTV dishes smuggled from the US. I wonder if people have done the same with Starlink.

They were worth the trouble during the thick of the pandemic when people preferred homes with kitchens. There they could minimize their contact with other people. Now people are traveling differently.

And it could also be that people are realizing that AirBnBs are not worth their inconsistency, dark patterns around fees, and the hassle of dealing with a problematic stay or host.

Lufthansa is bringing A380s back as well

Probably the cheapest way to fill the highly busy Germany-Thailand air routes during the German summer vacation weeks.

It’s too premium heavy for charter routes. They are starting with Munich to Boston and New York.

Yes, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Lufthansa a380 in BKK. (Though not 100% sure)

For me, too expensive. Although the Corolla has gotten relatively expensive over the years.

Every time I think I’ve found all the Toyota-related clickholes on the internet, I find another one. I love Toyota

Danger also had a pretty nice App Store model and a nice developer and user community in their phpBB forums. The carriers that supported the Hiptop also had a hosted web interface where you could manage your email, calendar, notes, etc.

I'm friends with a few of the super early Danger employees. My buddy and I were trying to use that opportunity to get our app into that store. At the time, you kind of needed to know someone on the inside to get listed on stores, especially if your app wasn't a game or ringtone.

We built a small and simple bartender app that had a UX almost exactly like the hiptop address book. You could easily look up recipes for drinks and then we'd let you build a shopping list. It was a fun exercise that was about a month of development time for the both of us. Mostly, it was just cleaning up the recipe data and adding a few drinks on our own.

It turns out that T-Mobile wouldn't list the app because they didn't have the ability to make sure that everyone using the app was 21+. We fought with this for months over it and eventually gave up. It was a really frustrating experience.

Apple came along with the iPhone and their own store model and while people used to complain heavily about it, I kept thinking at least it wasn't T-Mobile.

By the way, the VM was the precursor to Dalvik, which eventually turned into what is now Android...

That hosted web interface even got famously hacked by a teenager then posted screenshots of Paris Hilton's info https://www.computerworld.com/article/2569592/paris-hilton-m...

There's no instruction when there is a delay, besides just wait the 30 minutes or pay the tax and get an Uber

Are travel costs for quarterly in-person really more than real estate costs for always in-person?

I think there’s some truth to it. And the article is an opinion piece.

You think the war in Ukraine is stopping people in America from going in to office? I believe it has no impact whatsoever.
