For sure. I fit my gaming into about 2 hours a week. If it takes 6 minutes to load there's no way I'm going to play it. I know I'm not the target market but I'm still a missed opportunity.

Right, which is a massive problem. If these people and those like them were prosecuted then we'd have far less of a problem.

I use DDG search most of the time, but I find this to be untrue. DDG is pretty good, but struggles with context a lot more than Google does. For example, when searching for an error in a programming library, DDG is likely to return the libr

That depends entirely on whether society prioritizes FIFA skills or in-person social skills, and I would be willing to bet that it's the latter.

They are actually both problems. The fear of being "cancelled" due to poll responses is called the Bradley Effect and definitely does apply to exit polls: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradley_effect#Exit_poll

Yeah, since about 2000 it's been shown to be really unreliable in the US. Heavily weighted towards democrats for much of the same reasons that makes normal polling unreliable now.

Exit polls were historically used as a method of detecting election fraud, because they've always been very accurate. It's only the last few elections where we've seen such a large disparity in polling and actual results.

Just FYI, in terms of lockdowns, it's only been Victoria and NSW that have done the stage 4 lockdowns over the last few months. In SA, WA, QLD, NT, we've had closed land borders between the states, with police at border crossings

The title should be "no new locally-acquired cases", but there was actually one that came in after the cut-off time so it will be counted in tomorrow's numbers.

It's about priorities. Swiss defense spending as a percentage of GDP is 0.675%. US defense spending as a percentage of GDP is 3.2%. I just picked a simple example, but you will find similar disparities across the board.

I can't speak for the US, but in Australia this argument has been used as an untrue talking point being pushed by climate-change deniers. A cursory google indicates to me that in CA prescribed burns have actually been increasing over t

Because there's more to life than work and entertainment. There's language barriers, culinary familiarity, family ties, cultural familiarity, quality of schooling, levels of crime, etc. etc.

Limited functionality after growth. What you're describing is fine for 10 blog posts, but what about 100? 500? How then do you manage pagination? Search? Tagging or categorisation?

I don't think that's really true. I have open source projects that nobody else actually uses, but I still get messages from people reading and looking at the code. There's often only one person maintaining open source softwar

I'm not saying the company should be able to shift the blame to the employee, I'm saying they're both at fault. Labour Law in Australia does in fact recognise this and individuals can be held criminally liable for negligence

We should absolutely be blaming the individual in this case. They were negligent in their stated job role which led directly to the death of a bystander. We should also be finding fault with the processes and finding solutions for them, but

Right, it's about BATNA, but it stands to reason that especially in a time of ubiquitous remote work, offering remote workers salary parity will attract the highest talent from all regions, thereby providing a competitive advantage.

I stopped carrying a pocket knife specifically because of how many times I lost them in airports. I think if you fly often it's worth finding a different solution.

Yep, you might as well just learn to read music the traditional way. It's very common for musicians to be reading the sheet music a long way ahead of the actual music being played, especially while playing fast and complex pieces. Havi
