"Helvetica® Now Variable builds on the groundbreaking work of 2019’s Helvetica Now release."
I am so far out of touch that I cannot believe this is relevant to anyone outside of designers who build their career on constantly changing to the newest thing?
I love to talk shit on huge broadcasters but using their app for the olympics has been amazing. I just watched 2 days of replays from their app, all with minimal or no commentary, and all with few commercials (like 1/30 minutes).
Not only do you get replays for literally every event, but they don't even spoil them with the final scores or results.
Edit: It looks like I failed to mention that cable is required so that's a huge caveat. Also some folks seem to get more commercials than I have.
On the iPad app, I definitely got spoilers. I wanted to watch men’s cycling, but it finished in the middle of my night so I went to watch it in the morning. As soon as I open the app there is a big tile on the first screen spoiling the result. Then the next day, same thing happens with a basketball game I wanted to see (USA vs France).
I agree, except for the “few commercials” part. That seems highly dependent on the event. For events with regular short gaps between action, they seem to show a ton of ads.
This is the problem I'm experiencing. The best I've found is fuboTV and it's not great. I don't have cable in my house. I'd be willing to pay NBC $100 for access to all of their live and on-demand olympic coverage (what's available through the website, etc.), but that's not even an option.
I ended up adding the 'Live TV' option to my existing Hulu subscription, and now have access to all the replays as well as the primetime coverage. It's working very well. It's ~$65/mo extra, so I'll just cancel that add-on after the games end.
I'd prefer to have native internet streaming coverage. IIRC the 2016 or '18 games had fantastic free coverage on streaming boxes, with a nice app that had an easy way to watch live for any sport. not sure why we are regressing so badly. Probably money.
It appears to specifically be "Sign in with your Cable Provider." They list the providers and fuboTV is not one of them.
EDIT: I was wrong! I used "search all providers" and indeed, fuboTV was listed there, so I signed in with the credentials and it seems to work. Thanks for the nudge!
Our team chose it and I was pretty on the fence because wikis have existed for more than a decade and I had always considered the problem solved.
However, engineers like using it and that is invaluable. I can't explain it, I guess cause it 'feels' 'new.' It is pretty fun to use on a Mac, and the results are aesthetically pleasing. I understand there are some pretty sophisticated things you can do with the API, and we are already talking about tying it to PRs to make release notes.
Pretty promising all-in-all, but I wouldn't have picked it over and established wiki solution.
I moved to Notion from StackEdit (because it's basicaly abandoned and I had bugs editing on mobile) and I really miss storing all data in git repository (private GitHub repo).
Oftentimes the landlord covers utilities and lumps that up in to the rent, and I have a place in New England where that is the convention. We pay $500-$600/month for heating oil in the winter. Then we have about $300 in electricity and another $300 for water/sewage.
My day at work is collecting information, and then during walks and dinner, while watching sports, before falling asleep, it's all daydreaming about work.
This may sound like a bummer to some people, but I couldn't really think of a better way to spend my day than by playing a business strategy sim in my head.
I also recognize the advantages of healthful, hygienic habits.
When Covid hit, I quit my cushy job to create a video game. It was awesome, and given the time and resources I am confident it would have sold a few thousand copies.
But c'mon, I quit my job to get away from working for a living for a year. I put in 4-6 hours a day in earnest, but it was pretty obvious from the beginning that I wasn't gonna finish and coding the game was just an opportunity to be more creative than I am as a manager.
No way would I have ever entertained this idea without knowing I could walk back in to a high-paid job a month after starting to look, which I did.
Everyone should read Moby Dick . If the traditional praise is not enough, it is about how hard it is to understand. Code, tech, government, whales, or anything large. I identified with Ahab, mostly because he vacillates between confidence of knowing and fear of unknowing. It is just like working on a large software project.
Amazing book and you totally nailed the reason why it's my all-time favorite. It's a monster story where the book itself is the monster. Instead of seeing the monster through the words of the characters, the reader holds it in their own hands. In our insane pursuit of reading and understanding this monstrous book we become a little bit like Ahab himself by the end. It gives you an impression of something huge lurking behind the pages, something bigger than your comprehension. The pursuit of God, or the Truth, or whatever big universal thing you believe in, is such a huge and terrifying endeavor that it will break a human being if we are too honest about it. Moby Dick is truly an awe-inspiring experience. Also, don't skip the whaling chapters. They are secretly the best parts of the book.
Another book that gives off very similar vibes is Don DeLillo's Underworld.
I just have to say thanks for asking. I don't know if folks outside of a given field understand the particular insanity one in that field suffers.
TL;DR: on paper I have a perfect job/damn good life but I legit cannot force myself to do any work.
Let's look at the brass tacks for me and why I should be so happy:
1. 5+ years salary in the bank. 2. Several rental properties, all operating normally, covering all of our monthly expenses. 3. A high-paying remote job with infinite autonomy. 4. 10-month old baby, our first. My mom provides free childcare.
This person has it all, right? Oh my god no I have never been this miserable. Our partners are insurance companies, and they are always slow to work with. With COVID they are effectively non-operational when it comes to implementing new software. This means we just spin our wheels.
Life have never been so meaningless from 9-5. There are days when I don't even open my editor or attend meetings. There is just this incredible detachment amongst the whole team.
When I clock out, life is perfect. I never liked going out or anything anyways, so it's just the perfect excuse to sit and home and work on my creative projects.
I am currently working on a plan to take a leave of absence because the alternative is that I just resign. Sitting so close to the life I've always wanted (being a couch potato) and having my beautiful son to be with all day has made it impossible to contribute to my team and the guilt of that is gutting me.
It says right in this article that of the money allocated, the Fed has not met it's commitment to disclose the lender, sum, and interest rate of about 3/4 of the loans they have given. It is a fair assumption by the author that we cannot have any expectation that the rest of the disbursements will be reported appropriately.
Note that the three facilities that have disbursed funds but are not releasing transaction level data were all established before the CARES act was enacted and have nothing to do with the $454 billion in funding there. Those are safe facilities lending to banks or other bank-like companies and didn't require any support from Congress. There was never any commitment to disclose transaction data there. OP is just misleading.
>Update. As of May 28, 2020, the MSNLF was not yet operational. Accordingly, there are no transaction data to report.
>Update. As of May 28, 2020, the MSELF was not yet operational. Accordingly, there are no transaction data to report.
>Update. As of May 28, 2020, the MSPLF was not yet operational. Accordingly, there are no transaction data to report.
Looking up the Powell speech where these commitments" were made, this is the paragraph right before the quote in OP:
>To more directly support the flow of credit to households, businesses, and state and local governments, the Federal Reserve established a number of facilities. To support the small business sector, we established the Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility to bolster the effectiveness of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act's (CARES Act) Paycheck Protection Program. Our Main Street Lending Program, which we are in the process of launching, supports lending to both small and midsized businesses. The Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility supports lending to both businesses and consumers. To support the employment and spending of investment-grade businesses, we established two corporate credit facilities. And to help U.S. state and local governments manage cash flow pressures and serve their communities, we set up the Municipal Liquidity Facility.
Every single facility mentioned either has not yet given out money or transaction data has already been released.
