It depends on order size. I think orders for one or two people over time you'd save close to 50% between deals and using points. For larger orders 20% off once a day is about the best you can do. (I'm my area/experience.)


It's not always clear but notability is not temporary[0] under English Wikipedia's guidelines. Standards of what makes something notable have shifted over the years and sometimes the different is hard to tease out.

I understand this to be the case, but in practice the distinction is mostly immaterial. Topics are notable for a decade, then not notable the next.


https://rhodesmill.org/brandon/2012/one-sentence-per-line/ is one possibility. And discusses a Kernighan Unix memo from 1974 advocating for the practice. "UNIX for Beginners" https://web.archive.org/web/20130108163017if_/http://miffy.t... (PDF)


It seems like nothing changes in Android 14? Like at worst it's still possible on 14, whatever it is, but my impression from the title was that it's a new issue with 14 making me think I should delay updating.


There are admins on all of the Wikipedias under the WMF umbrella--each one sets their own rules for how admins are picked and how long, if limited at all, their terms are. I do not know what the process is for the Arabic-language wiki in question.


Also a community vote. (The above sysop logs state "according to vote result" and "successful nomination" for the entries logging admin rights being given.)


As of now, https://elements.heroku.com/addons/heroku-postgresql says $0.01/month and their CLI as of Wednesday also said that. Of course, this feels like a weird workaround until December 1 since they also say that's when they're going to saying charging for it.


There are traveling carnivals to things like state/county fairs, as well as just big empty parking lots of malls/etc for a few weeks, with significant g-force rides. So well over a thousand locations in the US.


Why do product announcements matter? Like I know many people like Apple's traditionally but they're just ads.


Apple’s announcements are all pre-recorded theatrics now. They are attention grabbing, over the top, and sensationalized to feel special.

Props to Google for actually doing their event live, cutting to the chase, and not scaring people into feeling like they will die if they don’t buy product X or Y


It's still $5 but they say on the signup page they'll waive it if you ask because you can't afford it/can't send the money somehow. So it's still very accessible but very, very few spammers bother to do either (a few have in the past decade and a half, of course).


Looked like no blackouts were needed yet.[0]

> California ISO power grid peak demand hit 52,061 MW, a new all-time record. Still holding in EEA3 - no load shed. Conservation is making a difference. ow.ly/brMu50KBKHT

There may be no rolling blackouts needed, but at least part of that is because of the involuntary ones. There's a lot of red (>5000 people) and orange (1000-5000 people) in the current map [1]

We had rolling outages in the Bay Area in Alameda at least. They did two circuits at a time instead of one too. https://twitter.com/alamedamunipwr/status/156732197303394304...


Unless the official CalISO twitter account is lying, this could be a local issue for specific substations etc. With the weather there could be transformers overheating and failing, for example. In a large state, power goes out _somewhere_ quite often.

The bag of tricks CalISO has to lower demand at peak is fascinating - for example, there are large consumers with significant generation resources (like emergency generators) that sign in to turn the generators on and get off the grid for a couple of hours. This produces drops in demand without blackouts per-se. Distributed power generation is generally more resilient.


Seems to have been directed by CAISO for both Palo Alto and Alameda:

Thanks. Interesting, indeed. Maybe they're using different terminology; otherwise it's not clear how both Caiso and these local utilities can be truthful at the same time.


Anecdata: I personally know 2 people in South Bay that lost power 2 hours ago.


Ours has been out for about 5 hours now. Also South Bay. :-(
