Aside from being quite creepy, wouldn't one already know how to get to their favorite brewery?

I'm similar to the parent; I have a "dumb" head unit with an aux cord + dongle. I suppose one benefit would be if it could suggest faster routes around traffic or detours.


"wouldn't one already know how to get to their favorite brewery?" - I navigate most everywhere I go of any distance so I get warned of traffic issues or speed traps.


My only question is how this will be viable since the RH user agreement states:

>>"I understand that Robinhood may at any time, at its sole discretion and without prior notice to Me: (i)prohibit or restrict My access to the use of the App or the Website or related services and My ability to trade, (ii) refuse to accept any of My transactions, (iii) refuse to execute any of My transactions, or (iv)terminate My Account. "

My understanding is Terms of Service have little significance in courts: whatever a company writes in its ToS, it must still comply with the laws.

Facebook banning you due to some vague ToS? No problem, your access to Facebook isn't protected by law. An app which can affect your investments and finances? I don't know if I'm this case it's legal or no, but that's a whole different level.


Those sections seem to deal with actions taken against an individual user, not actions that affect a stock's price. In theory if Robinhood's actions are illegal (don't know) and if they caused losses to holders of GME (don't know, but likely) then plaintiffs could include people who don't even have Robinhood accounts and never agreed to that.


I think more to the point would be the arbitration agreement in section 38. Not condoning the behavior but it seems that kind of agreement might limit a class action suit.

I buy that. The story is apocryphal and my sourcing of Jester was from this Texas Monthly [1] article.

If you define blue/red by the presidential vote, then the parent is correct. Every major city voted biden this cycle.


Not possible. The uncertainty of bathymetry in areas only mapped using gravity is larger than the dimensions of a sub.

Even in very well mapped areas, think of the effort in the Indian ocean to find MH370, this would require the assumption that the sub is moving, which is not always the case, e.g. if the sub halts propulsion and drifts with a current.


Well yes, it's the surface disturbance of the underwater wake that they are detecting. So the sub has to be moving under its own power.

But there is no need for high resolution and the wake of the sub stands out starkly even with a large field of view. So I'm not sure it can evade detection by halting propulsion and drifting. The point at which it halted would be known and it would be detected as soon as it restarted, unless it was carried by an unknown current far enough to be out of view of the satellite.

IME there needs to be a purpose to be worthwhile. Is it for entertainment or professional development? There are lists of books that people make, e.g. Bill gates, the singer Noname, Obama's. This way the effort of selecting a book can be outsourced or the group can democratize it. Pick a theme, nominate books, then vote. Call it what you want, happy hour or book club, but meet online and be ready to have a discussion of your and others' ideas.

Also, the discussion should not be a battle. If the group cannot appreciate considering opinions or thoughts on a piece of literature then it might not be a good group to be a part of. Do you judge people for holding non-consensus opinions? inb4 moral relativism, so it's a function of company culture.

Sounds like you have either experienced a bad book club, or have contributed to a bad book club. Touchy-feely things might feel awkward in the workplace so its probably beneficial to avoid books of that nature and stick to subjects where everyone has a valid opinion.


Yeah - that all makes sense to me.

I'm thinking that maybe small projects: "Hey! Let's build this together" would be more productive. The book club(s) where I have worked have been more cross-functional, which I think is good, but a lot more divisive than group development projects. I'm still trying to get my head around how it is all supposed to work. (I used to be a founder/CTO of a fairly large (in the 90s sense, not the 2010s sense), fintech company and on the board, and you would think I would have figured it all out by now, but the culture, it keeps changing! :-) )


source?


The wikipedia article for Psilocybin has all of the above.

>Psilocybin [...] is a prodrug that is converted into [...] psilocin [...] This chemical reaction takes place under strongly acidic conditions

And for metabolism

>Psilocin is broken down by the enzyme monoamine oxidase [...] Some psilocin is not broken down by enzymes and instead forms a glucuronide [...] Psilocin is glucuronated by the glucuronosyltransferase enzymes UGT1A9 in the liver, and by UGT1A10 in the small intestine

There's a where the rubber meets the road aspect to each of these artists. What happened to Maurizio Cattelan between being born and duct taping that banana? Who did the man and wife turn their art into? It seems that these things did not just happen one day and then they became famous. Clearly they all knew someone who lit the marketing fuse. Could've been a rich cousin or could have been someone on the street with a social media following.
