Many board games are funded through crowdfunding, which regularly reach 7 figures, so there is big money here. There has been controversy recently about YouTube “reviews” of active kickstarters which are actually undisclosed paid promotion,

The government mostly hires staff on 3 year contracts anyway. Not much different to a 2 year consultancy contract, except the hourly rate is 3x as much.

In my industry (rail, which admittedly is more keen on system safety than most) this would absolutely be the responsibility of the designer not the user. Poor safety in design, simple as that.

To sign up you need to choose to download the app and click sign up (it isn’t automatic from using your Instagram) so while integrating it with Insta gives it an easy leg up I don’t really see your comparison.

Spotify’s trick when it first launched is that search and playback was so fast it almost felt like you had all the music in the world on your hard drive. Unfortunately I cannot think of a single thing that has gotten better about Spotify

If it was just about AI scraping they could have given the third party reader apps a free pass on API fees. The recorded phone calls from the Apollo developer have reddit agreeing with the dev’s suggestion that it is about the opportunity c

I mean you have signal uninstalled so I’m not sure how you’d be across who is using it. 99% of my messages are sent on Signal with 100ish contacts including all bar two of my friends who I message regularly. But I would never think to sugg

“They’re” works perfectly fine (albeit a little grammatically awkward) if you aren’t sure of someone’s gender anyway. Not sure why the above comment felt compelled to correct.

An observation from my parents (who are now retired but were both career teachers/school administrators) is that for many teachers their entire life is spent in a school or uni, without a lot of "real world workplace experience&qu

I do not understand how someone even slightly informed about this situation could have this take away.

In risk management you have to look at the likelihood as well as the risk. A camera or mic attack are far less probable on my phone as you need many more failures / aligned holes in the Swiss cheese systemic risk model. Which is both b

My line is no cloud-connected security cameras, no “always listening” smart speakers without offline processing. I have at least some control over my phone and computers. It helps that I don’t really see or understand the need for these dev

I think companies can charge what they want for content and people are able to not use the service if they don’t like the price. So I think the moral outrage is ridiculous. But, like you suggested, my house has access to 6 steaming services

You are of course completely correct, but this is a letting perfect be the enemy of good situation. I lost my phone overseas (my backup code was at home) and losing access to everything was so annoying I turned 2FA off on my google account

Google Docs is not anywhere close to as powerful or as performant as Microsoft Office. I don’t really see how someone familiar with both forward suites could think that is the case.

Depends if they used any of that money to make any other crypto bets to improve profitability. That’s what gets you.

No because there is a game and the game is the main reason to own them; appreciation of value of rare cards is a by product and not the designed intent or the main reason to buy cards. If Pokémon was marketed as “hey buy these cards they wi

Mine too, but I think we’re uncommon. Far more people use WhatsApp than Signal. On the plus side; existing familiarity with WhatsApp makes moving to Signal easy to understand for people as they are very similar apps.

I am only in my mid 30s; but I feel like this smart home stuff might have excited me 15 years ago when now it doesn’t. The doorbell and security camera stuff do seem to be a cultural difference between the US and where I live though; I don’

I wonder if this is one of those signs that I’m getting old. I can understand the benefits of all this smart home tech, but I just want any of it or feel like it would improve my life? I’d probably like finer control over my air con so that

I think they're nice and help to add tone and context in an increasingly online workplace. The world is better because the director of my billion dollar project is able to heart react in the chat, not worse.
