Why are you just taking Apple's claims at face value?

I have literally never seen a service that allowed you to cancel a subscription in a single click. It always takes multiple.

All stats thus far show that countries generally deemed to be 'soft' on crime have lower crime rates, significantly lower portions of their population in prison, and have significantly reduced recidivism rates.

The US is already MASSIVELY winning the "percentage of your population in prison" contest. Then you look at the recidivism rates and realise why it doesn't work. Tough on crime -> more people in prison -> criminals are

I've definitely cancelled a yearly plan without talking to anyone before. But I did have to pay the early fee

It's literally one button to skip, then? The whole process takes about 4 clicks.

I have literally cancelled (and later re-obtained) subscriptions to CC at least 15 times. It hasn't been an issue, and I've never needed to call anyone. They do offer you things, but those things tend to be free months. Not random

There is absolutely zero need to keep a 22 year old copy of fireworks around just to resize and crop an image. None.

Those options are all great for non-professionals. Absolutely go for those if you're not using them for your job. Have to see what Adobe does with Figma before abandoning it, though

>the difficulty in canceling a subscription Never had an issue with this tbh, it's always very easy. Manage account > cancel plan. Hell, if you subscribe but then cancel within the same day, they give you a full refund. I've

I used to be a graphic designer, have my degree in it etc before I switched to development. Adobe's pricing is more than fair. At least compared to what it used to be, where you'd have to shell out a couple of grand every 2-3 year

All modern smartphones use computational photography to enhance and process your images. The sensor is too small and the lens just not good enough to not do it.

You'd carve the meat off the turkey, after removing its innards. The bones might be used for broth later, they certainly wouldn't be eaten at the same time. It's not typical to eat the bones, muscle, and offal together.

>something like 15-ish percent. In the UK it was somewhere around 25% of rail lines and 55% of stations. Complete short-sightedness.

Fully depends on the local wildlife. If the local fauna naturally devleoped alongside wildcats, such as in the UK, then outdoor cats are of very little concern to wildlife populations. If they didn't, such as in Aus, then yeah they can

It's not hard for me to justify it being awful. It might lead to fewer women reporting rapes/getting rape kits done.

If embedded in the sign, what if the sign itself is rotated or damaged in some way?

by bearmode 4y ago
I was actually on a 40mph road earlier today when I passed a side street with a 20mph sign that had been rotated to face the main road. My car was then insisting it was 20 for the rest of the road. >Plot for a future novel: Project light

No. Email clients should all just be forced to render modern HTML properly, so we can do away with all the terrible un-responsive emails.

Are you suggesting there are people on HN who don't know what TED is?

Without sunscreen I burn in just a few minutes and have painful skin for the next few days. I'm okay thanks, I'll keep using it.

Yeah, and by 'protecting' them from uncomfortable social situations, how are they going to learn to deal with them? Growth comes from discomfort, trying to constantly protect them is harmful.

Classwork alongside your peers is still part of socialising. You're still sat next to other kids, engaging in class discussions with the other kids, working on projects together with other kids all through the day. Socialising doesn&#x

In school we were socialising for 6+ hours a day, every day, plus any time after school or on weekends, alongside our school work. We also had hundreds of peers that we could make friends with if we wanted to. Compared to that I'd abso

>You need to test into the major before you even enter campus? This is how it works in most of the world. There is no major/minor system, you just study one thing at university for ~3 years.

No experience here, but I came to the exact same conclusions you did. Avoid fights where possible, but be prepared for them if they happen. And presumably you'd think the enemy forces were large enough already, there's no reason t

Yeah, I said outside of colloquial use. People still use it colloquially because it's what they know, but they'll also know metric.
