Depending on what you're doing. Many apps that reach out to the internet at launch will hang if there's an unstable connection, but will recognize when there's no connection and open in an offline mode.

Is the cell phone transmission theater even lifted in the US? I still get asked to turn on airplane mode regularly (though Wi-Fi is okay)

The gun buyback surely had ads just to get people to even show up, not yet including the staff time of people working the event and the gift cards.

3D printing is largely "set and forget" too, with occasional monitoring. A remote employee can easily spend less than 20 minutes per day babysitting the printer while going on with their regular life.

If all it takes for a "forgotten" attic gun to be secured is something to trigger those gun owners to take action on securing them, a simple ad campaign would be a lot cheaper than $500 gift cards.

This is a fantastic move by both Cloudflare and Yubico. I have several keys in rotation and they're definitely the future for security.

Psychological effects? The contestant volunteered for this, and was able to step out at any time (many times while still making a good amount of money). How many people were kept locked in their - possibly smaller - homes during COVID with

I've been looking for an alternative to Spark (Readdle) for iOS and MacOS for years, and have yet to find anything that even comes close. I'm not a huge fan of a lot of things Spark does and it's missing some nice features, b

That's typically what cancellation fees or early termination fees are for.

100% agree, I was just using it as an example. When I had an Alexa, it was much more well-rounded than Siri is. Living with Siri (or without?) is just an inconvenience of the consolidation.

At least that's what current society shows us. If the humanities graduates were actually a mass of well-rounded people that contributed to society, and happened to also have debt as a result, we'd be having a better conversation

I'm okay with this. It's nearly impossible to stop every company from collecting your data, but it becomes a hell of a lot easier if you try to consolidate and trust one major company. For me, I try to limit the collection by

That wasn't the comment though. The comment was "That's [do it] been the case for vaccinations for quite a few decades" I'm saying that there has been an exemption process for vaccinations.

Updated my original comment, I thought it was 2 and 3 weeks, not 3 and 4 weeks.

The military has had an exemption process for vaccines since long before COVID.

Additionally, many doctors have said that 2 weeks between shots was too quick and would not be enough time for the first shot to "primer". 2 weeks acted more like a single larger dose than 2 spread out doses. Edit: My memory faile

> We really need cost-benefits of adverse effects v. COVID outcomes stratified by ages, and it takes more than one study to build the picture. Also when taking this into account, one must take note that many who have had the vaccine stil

4/10's are fantastic, especially if you commute. The extra 2 hours a day really doesn't feel like much, and I often find I have better "productive" time than in a standard 8 hour day.

Unions are inherently free market. If government controlled all labor, Unions would not exist.

Humans are free to enter contracts of their own choosing, not forced by arbitrary government regulations. As many other commenters here have pointed out, negotiating oneself to a 4 day workweek (or other offers) is possible. I for one, choo

One can still say that freedoms they had are being restricted or backsliding while acknowledging that other people are far less free.

I think this is the effect of Tik Tok and Instagram Reels. Our already short attention spans have become even shorter to where if something doesn't get to the point in .2 seconds, people might lose interest. (Obvious exaggeration, but

I'd say all in all I put maybe 10 hours into it, which is far less than I do for a typical job interview prep. Given that this has brought me numerous clients, it was worth it for me.
