No, they make a profit if your premiums are more than your care+overhead. Preventative care is sometimes offered with no co-pay — presumably because you end up costing them less over the long haul if you keep up to date with your Dr. appointments.
It’s not a great system; but it does work very well for some customers, and failing to recognize that tends to preclude having a productive discussion.
Or go full CW, and just transmit source code in binary as dits and dahs. (So long as you document what you’re doing it should be legal, though I’m not sure if you should use the CE portion of he band since it’s nonstandard…)
My university was pretty zen about this — essentially, “don’t use your own access point/router please. But if you do, please talk to your resident (University employed) student IT rep and they can probably help you set it up correctly.”
While this uses potassium chloride to cut down on sodium, does a mix of sodium chloride and MSG have the same effect? MSG has sodium, but it looks like not much per unit weight.
Not at all the statement of a moron: in colloquial usage yeah, salt is sodium chloride, but in in a chemistry setting it is not just sodium chloride. In this case it probably has potassium chloride — a sodium-free salt.
But the most expensive gear isn’t necessarily more dangerous than the entry level gear, and in some cases, may even be safer.
…but was it the “Windows Uninstall” button…or the “format /dev/sda1 as ext4” button?
Just don’t try plugging it into a Raspberry Pi 5.
No data loss, but won’t work without changing your kernel. The other way around is much worse though — you can use an RPi5 to make a BTRFS drive which essentially only works on RPi5s.
They’re just popular ETFs which contain a lot of $AAPL. I was just commenting that even if someone doesn’t explicitly hold any $AAPL, if they own ETFs/mutual funds, they are likely exposed to $AAPL.
Doesn’t apply to you though since you said you don’t own any stock :)
…or $SPY, or $QQQ, or…
In 1999, the iBook was US$1599 (equivalent to $2925 in 2023) (source).
The 2010 13" Air was $1299 (more in today’s $) (source).
The current 13" M3 Air is $1099 (source).
So yeah, they may well raise prices, but the cost of Apple’s entry-level hardware has decreased in absolute terms over the years, and has decreased substantially if inflation is taken into account. Not to say the margins aren’t higher (no idea about that), but it’s interesting.

Right, that’s what the & exit is supposed to prevent, since it’s already logged out.
I did all of grad school with i3wm. And I spent a very, very long time in grad school…
I always ran startx & exit to prevent someone from VT switching to a logged in console if my screen was locked :)
Been a while but isn’t that very insecure? Gotta run startx & exit ;)
I’ll push back on that a little. Peloton has, from the beginning, been a very closed ecosystem.
Contrast this to the smart trainer I have which is marketed to cyclists (a Wahoo KICKR). It uses standard protocols to talk, and while they have some software available, it works independent of their ecosystem on standards compliant equipment (ANT+ and BLE). You can even talk to it using the open source GoldenCheetah software.
I would say I own this device. Sure I can’t necessarily hack the firmware easily, but I can’t hack the firmware on my microwave easily either, but I’d say I own that, too.
Area 51 in shambles.
