Same!! My mom still keeps one of my micromachines on the windowsill in the kitchen, it’s at least 30-35 yrs old.

Gave away my original print copy but it was such an amazing read for 23-yr-old me. It changed the wiring in my brain to think about truly global-scale infra problems differently.

Chase in San Francisco told me that one factor is a handful of deposit box users who come into their branch multiple times/day to access their box. That’s a huge burden on their staff’s time.

Should not be that hard to put a cost on that. Charge X per access. Make X big enough to be worth the bother. If you worry that it will alienate the users who only need access rarely make the first Y accesses per month or year free.

It's funny how cost cutting turns once normal services and responsibilities into a "burden".

Safety deposit boxes are not meant as active drop boxes.

It's like someone using YouTube as a general purpose data storage service.

It’s very easy to fix that. Charge per use for accessing it more than once per day.

In fact, that already exists. Nearly every bank, Chase included, operates a savings account with maximum six transactions a month.

My favorite museum in the whole world, but also an impressive museum in its own right, my opinion notwithstanding.

I refuse to go on traveling vacations with more than 5 other adults (including my wife), so 3 total couples.

Also my exact setup! Have hundreds of tabs and in between Session Buddy and The Marvellous Suspender, I haven’t lost one yet.

This massive resurgence in generative AI has me interested in the AI space all over again.

Going to spend the next 3-6 months just learning everything I can about it.
