I ship 90% of my purchases to the office where I spend most of the day. There's no one at home from 9 to 5 so shipping it there would be foolish, as you put it.
Most of the people I work with does the same thing so I think you're very much wrong in your thinking. If it works for you, then fine, but it's not foolish at all and it's the best option for a lot of people.
We already get them: Whiplash, Baby Driver, Inception, Arrival, The Martian... Those are just a few of my favourites from the last decade or so but the list goes on!
Did I say no other layouts exist outside of AZERTY and QWERTY? I was pointing out that the assertion that the parent comment made about AZERTY = Europe and QWERTY = US was wrong.
If you're going to list facts, at least get them right. The version that Europe uses is also called QWERTY. The US uses the ANSI variant of the QWERTY layout while the "European" variant is called ISO. One of the differences between the two versions is indeed the left shift being longer or shorter to accommodate the extra key but it's not the only one.
AZERTY (a variation of the ISO QWERTY, with 105 keys, the big enter, etc) is used in France like you say but nowhere else. The rest of Europe use other layouts within the ISO QWERTY. Here you'll find Spanish, UK, Italian, Norwegian, and many other layouts that move and add the necessary symbols for their languages.
edit: corrected right to left, stupid me.
I didn't express myself correctly when talking about AZERTY. It is used in a few other places besides France. What I meant is to say that is not Europe's standard as the parent comment seemed to indicate.
> The UK allowed a referendum because it has to. Spain voted its constitution in 1978, that means most of the voters are still alive and it got ratified in every community including Barcelona. So there are people protesting now that the constitution does not imminently allow a referendum that voted in favour of that clause being there 40 years ago.
You mean the same vote where people could chose whether to apply that constitution or continue living in a dictatorship? Ah yes, if that's not democracy I don't know what is!
> They used this app to organize violent riots, taking advantage of the pacifist demonstrations organized by the pro-secession political parties.
They also used this app to organize non-violent protests, but why say that when you can tell half the truth to tell your story? I'm sure Whatsapp, Telegram, Messenger good ol' SMS were used to organize violent riots, but we won't close those right? I'm sorry but your argument is as week or worse than the one used to take down HK's map.
AFAIK Instagram does this by default. It should put you on the page after the one you saw last time. At least this is how it works with normal non-pinned stories.
While that might be true, the majority of people buying a smartphone are just regular people, not photographers, so they'll favour things like punchy colour profiles.
But it can mean that and, in the case of Disney+ it does mean that. Content that was (and some still is) avaliale on Netflix UK will now be moved to Disney's new subscription platform. In this case, Netflix lost value for anyone that used to consume this content there.
With more subscriptions, they will steal or claim content from existing ones, effectively driving their value down. Sure some will create content, as they have been doing for a while now but that doesn't change the fact that if I want to watch The Office, I used to have to use a VPN to watch it through Netflix US, now it's on Amazon Prime but where will it be in 2 years?
or suffix Script, e.g. JavaScript and the bonus with this one is that it doesn't need to relate to the original language in the least! It's a win-win-win.
Pretty much. After that it's all been wheels. Take the lenses, that's just a wheel with a piece of glass on each side, easy. The camera? More wheels of different sizes somewhat cleverly put together to capture light and store it - boring. It's almost depressing really, kids nowadays don't know how to make new things, just strap two things together with tape.
They're pretty much everyone else. New releases of these "same games" bring better graphics, or animations, or gameplay, or story, or any combination of the previous. FIFA, in addition I assume they also include the new players and trades that happened since the last version (but I don't play FIFA so I could be wrong here).
Nostalgia is also a big factor, with so many reboots and adaptations of source material to new media, today's adults will pay to see all the Marvel blockbusters because they read the comics or saw the TV show as kids. I'd bet many people that bought MK9 - which rebooted the saga - did it for nostalgia. The same probably happened with the new Tomb Raiders, also a reboot of the series. Have you heard of the new The Lion King? Or Dumbo? Or Aladdin? Or any of the 500 new remakes Disney wants to make? Same thing.
It will circumvent the issue - with a chance of VPNs being banned in the future if this method becomes mainstream - but it won't change politics and will force the issue on everyone not savvy enough to find a way around it.
I've been thinking lately I should take a look at Gatsby finally add build a blog that goes with my current website. At the moment it's just a list of projects and some contact info.
