@SonderStays Your policy says "Cancel up to 3 days before arrival for a full refund" so how come you won't let me cancel my stay that is in 3 days (Tuesday, Sep 14)?

@AttilaTheLund This is the resignation of many a first generation immigrant. Hats off to anyone above the age of 12 learning about baseball, American football, rugby for the first time!

@benedictevans On a ThinkPad?

[Ruzgar Barisik @rbarisik]

Good news. Now guess how much funding went to Latin America and Southeast Asia (billion plus population)?

[Tejeshwi Sharma 🇮🇳 @tejeshwi_sharma]

VC funding in 2021:

US: $296B
China: $130B
EMEA: $100B+
India: $36B

The most prolific investing year for venture capital.

Turkish lira / Euro exchanged at 100% bid-ask spread. 😵‍💫
$USD to Euro at 30%.
Who still uses these counters?

@MariaThomas @PhoenixGroupUK @LongevityCenter Older folks struggle with finding new work, including white collar professionals. It's a type of structural unemployment: employers are not well versed in managing senior-level resources who may join part-time or short term.

Here is why it matters: A lot of business is conducted over WhatsApp and social media around the world. That includes things like filling prescriptions, taking orders, scheduling work, etc.

[Ruzgar Barisik @rbarisik]

WhatsApp has been down for almost eight hours. Imagine Google pushing out and promoting a messaging app right now...

[Hugh Laurie @hughlaurie]

For every hour we spend agonising over societal crimes of the past, we should probably allow a minute or two to wonder what we're doing now that will be similarly condemned a hundred years hence. Climate, obviously; animal rights, likewise. What else?

I’m curious what @paulmromer thinks about Hong Kong residents as source for international charter cities

[Mark Lutter @MarkLutter]

Hong Kong group wants to build a new city in Ireland to escape Chinese oppression. Maybe the US should be courting them too?

Let's spread this custom please. Face shields are ubiquitous in Turkey. Here are retail workers wearing commonly available plastic face shields. They make it impossible to touch one's own face.

Looks like effective self-protection. Cheap and I am told all-day-comfy as well!
