I have worked for similar consulting companies, though not AWS. We had to always book an initial ticket that was policy compliant (economy, or higher only if it was similarly priced), and then optionally upgrade the seat. That causes the upgrade to come through as a separate charge.
Later, when submitting expenses, the upgrade had to be marked as a personal expense, to be netted against per diem or paid back directly.
Early in my career managers did a very poor job of explaining that this was allowed.
What is your recovery plan in the event of a hurricane?
I'm not fond of high electric rates, but in addition to generation those rates amortize and distribute the cost of storm recovery. A home or business with grid-tied solar pays interconnect fees for the option to get paid back a little for excess generation, and the option to decide to switch back to 100% grid power if a storm damages the on-site panels.
Watch the Integza video (linked above): The lab interviewed starts the process using a very small pulse detonation engine, which injects a new explosion into the ring.
> [...] how we can restructure our approach to education so that students would actually feel encouraged to participate and ignore their smartphones.
Is there any precedent for this that we can model / reproduce? Any country or region where students are considered academically successful, while having unrestricted access to the internet in their pocket?
If it exists, it would be very worthwhile to understand what gives those students such strong self control. Do they do it on their own? Are they somehow admonished/shunned publicly for that behavior?
Do teachers and parents now actively encourage students to read aloud? I'd love to see a study showing this helps.
When I did this in middle school I was repeated told to stop, and that doing so or talking myself through math problems were "signs of mental illness," and I needed to keep it in my head.
There have been recent studies on the impact of fasting during pregnancy. Here's two:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8377932/
> A total of 215 women were included in the study, 123 women fasted, and 92 women did not fast. Only 2.8% of women knew that fasting is forbidden in pregnancy. Sixty five percent of women reported weakness as the main reason for not fasting. The rate of gestational diabetes, pregnancy induced hypertension and preterm delivery was higher among women who fasted (17% vs 14%, 7% vs 2%, 9% vs 9%) respectively, compared to non-fasting women, but were not found statistically significant. There was no difference in anthropometric measurements of newborn, among both groups.

> Fasting during pregnancy was associated with reduced birthweight, in particular for fasting during the first trimester (-352ˑ92g, 95% CI: -537ˑ38; -168ˑ46). Neither dietary composition nor altered sleep were directly associated with birthweight. However, dietary composition during Ramadan outside of fasting hours seems to moderate the fasting-birthweight association, which disappeared for women switching to high-fat diets.
rclone strongly recommends users create their own individual API key:
> It is strongly recommended to use your own client ID as the default rclone ID is heavily used. If you have multiple services running, it is recommended to use an API key for each service. The default Google quota is 10 transactions per second so it is recommended to stay under that number as if you use more than that, it will cause rclone to rate limit and make things slower.

- What happens when shopping is done by a delivery service? Does everything bought by a door-dasher get priced higher (because they might spend $5000/week at a store doing grocery runs) or lower (because their W-2 is lower?)
- What happens if I'm buy groceries for my grandmother? She's aged, has poor mobility, and on a fixed income. Are you going to charge me, and therefore her, more?
There's a difference between being stable (robust once connected), and connecting aggressively.
We have two cars from the same manufacturer, each paired with two iPhones. Start either car or drive by, and the car will take over an existing Bluetooth connection from one of the iPhones. And by take over, I mean: disconnect an active connection streaming to Airpods/Beats/Airplay soundbars, and grab that stream of music/video/conference call into the car.
The driver in the car then has to pause playback or hang up on someone else's call, because there's no way to pass it back.

Interesting. Does the rclone versioning not work as described? I fortunately have never had a reason to test it.
> When rclone uploads a new version of a file it creates a new version of it. Likewise when you delete a file, the old version will be marked hidden and still be available. Conversely, you may opt in to a "hard delete" of files with the --b2-hard-delete flag which would permanently remove the file instead of hiding it.
