On the contrary Fahrenheit and Celsius is one of the harder units to convert. Can't just "halve and remove 10%" in your head like you can for pounds. Though I agree with you that you can't expect Americans to use SI unit

People who like stuff typically aren't going around posting about it, especially not in these types of threads that appeal to those who dislike the company/app. Personally I think Spotify is great and it works really well for me,

Three months is fairly common in Sweden, and longer than that isn't all that rare (often depends on how long you've worked at the company).

The alternative is that we do nothing until it's too late, and then the consequences will be much worse. Don't worry though, society is terrible at preventive action, so I'm pretty confident we're going for the reactive

It's impossible to average 5% return risk-free (if mortgage interest is 2% or whatever). Saying "as long as your average return is higher than your mortgage interest then it's lower risk" is a ridiculous statement, the e

It's awful compared to a professional author, absolutely, but it's still an actual story without big grammatical issues written by an AI from a short prompt. To me that's pretty magical, and the question is how much and how f

The reason we have women's sports in the first place is essentially a different form of "you have to be below 2m" in order to promote diversity in sports, so disallowing trans people doesn't seem like a much bigger step

One big difference is that art is typically a passion job, whereas most of the previously automated jobs weren't. Being able to draw for a living also takes way longer to learn than being a bank teller, or data entry etc, did. Not that

The "I can just roll over, interrupt them and get my chat done" is a pretty funny thing to bring up as a positive. I guess for non-developer roles that actually is a positive, but eh.

It does have silence trimming now at least, not sure about the other stuff.

Sure, but presumably because it's not worth the effort to verify rather than an inability to do so, no? If their priorities change, claiming your phone is out of battery seems unlikely to allow you to avoid a fine.

Then pay $9.99 for Netflix Basic or $6.99 and deal with ads. If you can't afford that then there's basically no price point that makes sense because you're simply not willing or able to pay for entertainment.

Ah yes, the historic collapse bringing the stock back all the way to the 5th of January. This year. A 6-8% drop is really nothing to write (or share) articles about in my opinion.

If you haven't read the source material it's a fine show. Yes, just like all other shows nowadays diversity is the most important feature, but once you look past that it's not bad. Certainly better than rings of power in my o

I could see password reuse being used as a reason for trying brute force/dictionary attacks. E.g. You see that a user has used the same password on Coinbase as X, which could indicate that the user isn't using randomly generated p

A credit card chargeback should be used as the last resort, and for good reason: many service providers will permanently suspend your account if you do one. There's typically a thread or two per year where some poor sap gets double cha

Because for many (probably the vast majority) it's not true. Their smartphone is first and foremost a portable computer. The ability to make calls is secondary.

Those three drawbacks are barely drawbacks at all nowadays. Not being able to return/resell your ticket is a big issue though.

The way you word it makes it sound like "the corruption in developing countries is low-level, whereas in developed countries it's high-level". In reality, the corruption in developing countries is on all levels, whereas it&

You'll have to be more precise about what kind of seafood. Afaik eating larger fish is thought to overall be a negative for you due to heavy metal accumulation.

It's not like accreditation exists to ensure poor people stay poor, framing it like that is disingenuous. Small-time investors are unlikely to be able to even semi-accurately estimate the value of a company, so they're much much m

Lots of hobbies are essentially "useless". The focus on being constantly "productive" seems toxic to me. If you enjoy a hobby then it's not useless, enjoying it is the point of a hobby! So enjoy playing video games,

Not sure about US law, but in my country it's fairly similar. The physical copy of the receipt must be kept for 7 years, but "only" for 3 years if you make a digital copy of it. It's quite a hassle if you WFH and expens

One-line functions are also nice when a comment would've been warranted otherwise. But yes, easy to go overboard with it.

Most of the time when people talk about western countries/civilization, they're not talking about Latin America, but rather about USA+western Europe, at least in my experience. Geographically it makes sense, and linguistically too

Such a controversial statement requires sources. A quick Google seems to disagree ( https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/united-states-rates-of-co... ), although I don't have the energy to dig into it more than that s

It's shady because you're cherry picking the dates. Why not say 99.98% uptime since launch from the start?

I'm surprised you think Netflix's UI and UX is that poor. Which streaming service do you think does a better job?

Yes, Spotify is from Stockholm. Though they do have a Gothenburg office.
