Famously not including drivers.

Expanding on just a snarky comment, Uber stated to have north of 7M monthly drivers ([1], OP mentions 10M, but with no qualification), so 32k/7M = 4.5 employees for every thousand drivers. Even with the cuts. That's a scrum team per 2000 drivers. Idk what this says but thought it to be interesting

Interstingly, since 2008 Dutch bankers need to take an oath and whilst I don't think that in itself deters fraud, being fired for fraud would preclude going back to work for another bank (tuchtrecht / disciplinairy law)

The very light it emits, the liquid glass lensing animations, etc

I recall some research in the TV age. They observed, if the subject is looking into a light source, (be it a camp fire, a screen or a bulb) they go into a kind of sleepwalking mode. They also mentioned the phenomenon was already well documented by hypnotists.

In the early internet days I couldn't help but notice people who read zero books now spend the whole day reading.

I think it means the tool is used the wrong way? Interactive should be e-paper or real paper. Dull cramming or basic reading skills would be a good fit for glowing displays.

Perhaps we even need a device that can do both.

You also don't get the physicality as part of recall with eInk over real books. When reading technical books, as an example, I often would look back when going to review something based on where it was physically in the book... I completely lose that with ebooks.. I still mostly use ebooks and online docs these days all the same because moving hundreds of pounds of books when you move sucks.

I looked at Luma, but the website shows that for the part of Western Europe I'm in, it only supports Amsterdam or Brussels. Not even Cologne. Or am I using their website wrong?

I've only ever had `first.last@company` as a username or email address, so this `last[:5]initials#` scheme is bewildering. Must lead to strange looking usernames.

I've had several usernames/emails more similar to the `last[:5]initials#` example at universities and large companies. It's more secure (harder to guess based on the name alone), more private (harder for outsiders to tie back to a person from email alone), and reduces or removes the possibility of duplication (especially important for schools that let alumni keep their emails). It actually surprised me when a school gave me first.last once.

My CarPlay with Apple Music shows a QR-code so others may add to the car's playlist. Never used it, coz why wouldn't you trust friends to just open the Music app and add something, coz they rarely have iPhones anyway

Thanks! Now I'm curious of all the places where there are still hidden Options key features that I haven't discovered yet. It's just everywhere, but so undiscoverable.

In the Netherlands, its over €2,50

Honestly, ceteris paribus for the US

Thank you sir. Love learning new things every day in a tech forum, especially Latin.
