Does Netflix make shows? Or does it slam its name onto filmmakers it pays to make content? If so, one of those things simply requires throwing cash at people, which I think is a skill that most people can learn.
producers don't make the content, they speak to the right people in their exclusive circles to finance it, put their name on it, and then pay the directors and actors a tiny fraction of what it earned
They make the shows actually accessible so that they can reach the desired audience and generate a fanbase in the first place, which producers could then use to exploit for revenue.
If you covet a precious jewel behind closed doors, people will just walk on by without knowing its value
Don't be silly. Elon is going to anonymize the data extraction first, categorise you into one of five badly defined groups, and then beam that shitty group product back into your brain.
Make money for your family, after you're gone! If you get 1 million visitors, you get 1000 dollars a month! Just need to train a bird to swoop by every few minutes, and you're living the life!
he does raise very valid points about reproducible builds, which should be a priority if your product is security
Edit: oh @Wolflink below points out that such builds are available for Android, but iOS has issues stemming from Apple and not Signal. This then begs the question, why is Telegram reproducible on iOS?
He was a Japanese mech pilot who invented the kamikaze corp in WW1 as part of Operation Jinjuriki to overthrow the Emporer's wife who was said to be quite large. I have also not googled anything.
I genuinely thought the wired vs wireless earphone debate was over, and wireless won by a landslide.
All the phones I have ever owned have audio jacks, but I use them rarely, and prefer the convenience of putting my phone down to walk around and do tasks, than having it strapped to my side like I'm a tourist on a bad audio guide.
I can't be the only one who after holding out for so long, now relents that, yes, wireless headphones are convenient for a vast majority of use cases.
I've been wearing the same Sony plugs for 6 years now. Latency and quality is fine over short distances, and over long distances (something wired can't do...) the LC3 codec does a fantastic job keeping the signal and quality
Oh no doubt, and this is definitely an audiophile's phone. I just hope the benefit of the slight gains in quality outweigh the (imo) massive hassle of having the phone tethered to body.
My buds are sony wf-1000x3, been using them for years. Charge them once a day, use them pretty much all the time, no issues.
Exactly, because as we all know - all consumers are all experts in all the products that they use and so deserve no protection from scheming producers.
it took me 6 years working abroad to realise that I could speak more freely with a random stranger from my homeland, than I ever could with my (now ex-)girlfriend.
If Amazon has shown us anything though, its that reviews can be bought and sold en masse. I'm not sure how Steam reviews are mitigating this, but I fear that it will be undermined soon
My parents raised me to always say "yes sir" and "no ma'am", and I automatically say it to service workers and just about anyone with whom I'm not close that I interact with. I noticed recently that I had misgendered a cashier when saying something like "no thank you, ma'am" based on their appearing AFAB, but on a future visit...

Star really grated at the beginning. Rich girl having rich girl problems with rich boy. There was no tension, nothing.
Then they started introducing dark elements in there - monsters, her family's dark past, the unspoken guilt of those they usurped. It got really good then
They would lose any magical powers they may have had in the book, but anything they are, rather than can do, will stay. For example people from the His Dark Materials world would keep their daemons.

I think intent needs to be factored in. If the colleague's intent was purely to terrorise then that should be punishable. If their intent was humour, albeit at the expense of OP, I think some leniency should be involved, at least until they understand the gravity of their offence.
We are all ignorant of the sensitivies of others in at least one degree, is my defense here.
