Garmin instinct fixes this. Rugged, physical buttons with a battery life that last weeks. It's true about the special charger, but there are also usb-c adapters.


Seems pretty bad. I tried it and got 99% Dutch but have never lived in the Netherlands.


But nearly every apartment has a broker fee, not just rent-controlled units. Plus, my understanding is that a rent-controlled apartment is pretty rare to actually come to the market, lots of landlords are refurbishing them and removing the rent control.


> a rent-controlled apartment is pretty rare to actually come to the market

doesnt mean it's not being exchanged - it just means it's not "public", and the exchange is done privately therefore you dont hear about it.


Sure, but the crazy-high broker fees always seem to be associated with highly desirable apartments.


Note: the fillable forms (which do some basic arithmetic for you but are still the general tax forms) don't seem to be available yet. These are the only "IRS Free File" option available if your AGI is over $79,000.

Truly. I think since Wirecutter recommendations are free (at least for NYT subscribers), they make money with affiliate advertising and make more money by having readers who spend money.

So, their interest in getting me to spend more money is at odds with my interest in buying a quality product (or skipping it if they all suck!). At least Consumer Reports is a paid product who only gets paid by me.


They are just nicer to cook on. They get hotter far quicker and can be more easily controlled.


Since Android 12, there is the option to choose between providing "precise" and "approximate" location data to an app. I have found it quite nice, even if it sometimes breaks a random app if a developer hasn't planned to use it.

In the Play store it is possible to see what permissions are required and data is collected.


I wonder if it is possible, as an Apple developer, to query "permissions requested" via some other channel ?

I don't know anything about the ways Apple developers interface with the app store to submit or update or index their apps ... is it through xcode ?

I wonder if there is some function in that toolchain that actually does what I am proposing ...


This is possible and relatively easy for Apple to do: for most (if not all) permissions, a declaration that you intend to ask for permission is required in the app's Info.plist manifest file.

When permission is requested and you've forgotten to declare that your app asks for it, the permission will be immediately denied without prompting the user.


Crew fatigue is an ATC concern insofar as it contributes greatly to accidents. The controllers may have volume goals, but the ultimate goal is safety.


Crew fatigue really isn't an ATC concern. The FAA and airlines set rules for crew fatigue management. Flight plans are designed to keep the crew within limits even if they have a delay or diversion. It is simply not a controller's job to assess a flight crew's fatigue state, or second guess whether they need an alternate plan due to fatigue. Controllers aren't trained or qualified to do that.


Or have elected officials. If the union isn't fighting for you...elect someone who will.

To me, unions are a lot like democracies. They can function very well, but need constant oversight by their constituents to ensure that they are working towards the interests of all members.

Not coincidentally, the strongest democracies are the ones with many laws regarding transparency to eliminate corruption.
