The claim isn't that the phone is competitive on a feature or spec level to new phones, but that those happy with the old feature set can continue to use them.
Of course the battery is a consumable part and you can't expect that to continue functioning well indefinitely.
The Jeopardy thing was pretty brilliant in a sense - wrangling an episode of free advertising from one of the most popular game shows. A memorable episode at that!
Side note, the term “gas fee” is a nice example of how crypto projects pick needlessly obtuse vocabulary. It’s a transaction fee. There’s no “gas” involved. Why call it that?
Perhaps I’m jaded but my feeling is that using plain terms would reveal the emptiness of the space. A non technical person can see that a $200 “transaction fee” is a rip off.
The point of the advice is to come up with a reasonable division of responsibilities that work for your partnership, rather than accepting the default agreement handed to you by the state without even understanding what it is.
It's truly amazing that a product with the reach of Lichess can be run so cheaply. Comments here criticizing the hosting costs extremely myopic - dev time isn't free, and doing a rewrite to chase down hosting savings isn't necessarily a good call.
I just signed up for a monthly donation. I complain about the ad supported internet all the time, but had never donated to LiChess. This thread is a good reminder of how far dollars to support projects like this can go.
That dramatically increase the logistics problem, it’s not as though the government has a reliable address for where each person would want a test shipped.
People who are worried about omicron and can afford $15 per test already have a supply.
People who aren’t worried about omicron will throw them away.
It’s tiresome to see the DRM argument portrayed over and over again as a moral slam dunk.
Anything consequential enough to make an impact is a trade off, with winners and losers. If all the employees listened and there was a universal collapse of DRM, I really highly doubt people who make content would be better off. Maybe some of these devs feel good about helping make sure people who make movies get paid. Maybe they feel like they are part of the moviemaking process (which they are!).
It’s not as though it’s difficult for people who want to make their content free to do so. Why should someone who wishes to make content under a DRM model not be free to do so? It’s entertainment, you are not forced to consume it.
I’m on my 3rd team at a bigco at the moment. Putting a lot of emphasis on enabling team transfers is the thing that has kept me there.
There’s some politics to it, ie one org is losing a lot of people to another, so we aren’t supposed to actively recruit, but if they ask and are going to leave otherwise /shrug
I rewatched the original recently and that dialogue is not exactly a strong point either. Really devoid of subtly or even the barest hint of humor. A pretty unbelievable amount of exposition, telling rather than showing.
I think I looked past it when it came out because I was a kid, and the world building was interesting to me.
> staffing levels are impacted because the adults who have it.
Specifically, staffing levels are impacted by the policy of people who have tested positive but are not sick.
>>> "The crisis from the Omicron peak is not generated by serious COVID illness in regions with highly vaxxed populations," Noble wrote in an email to SFGATE. "The crisis we are suffering in the Bay Area is largely driven by disruptive COVID policies that encourage asymptomatic testing and subsequent quarantines.
This kind of discussion is more relevant to inheriting projects than constructing them from scratch.
To take an example I’ve inherited several Ruby on Rails apps from novices at big cos. The language takes the perspective that everything should be easy, so apps get rickety fast without diligent programmers. Which is a good goal but not something you will always have control over.
> One student tested positive IN THE AUDITORIUM, and a few students started screaming and ran away from him.
I suggest fixing the ludicrously miscalibrated risk assessment of omicron as a better route. How many of these legions of absent teachers even have symptoms?
