Just say you don't have a smartphone. I got rid of mine and was worried I will have issues at places that do this sort of stuff. Turns out usually things suddenly become possible.

There is no score or measurement. The task is to write a stopwatch in any technology you want and explain it along the way. Then we put in some bugs and ask for troubleshooting. It's all about the approach to the problem.

So how exactly are they going to that? Im very skeptical about their ability to detect fake reviews. It sounds like when governments all over the world trying to force people into paying the TV License Fee and saying this can be detected wi

Exactly, so relying on them in some hope they fix something is a bad idea.

I'd say the main issue is that not a single one of them cares about our problems and never will, even if they have a charity that makes them look like saviors.

What Im talking about is part of CAP if I understand correctly. My soil is too good for trees so I cant grow them anyway.

Planting trees is expensive, especially if you are registered as Organic farmer (which means more EU money too). You get more money by keeping them alive. Not planting doesnt work, you will get an inspection and no money. Maybe depends on w

In EU the farming subsidies pay most handsomely for trees, more than crops. Can't let them die, payout is dependent on yearly inspection. However, the soil needs to be in the bottom half of the quality scale, so most farmland out there

I think you're kinda right but its not exclusive to US. Social media did not happen in a vacuum, there was a whole fertile ground prepared for it with decades of couch-potato consumer behavioural conditioning, which has been a global p

Thanks for your post, I understand these issues better now. But I think there still can be some middle ground solution. I struggle with memory, I cant remember what was said on the meeting a few minutes ago. I often have to chase people eve

Ive quit FB about 10 years ago but Im considering coming back because I keep hearing about the value of Groups. Sure its just mailing groups with UI, but thats where the people seem to be.

Yep thats the normal way. But this can fail on many levels, for instance if the notetaker doesnt understand the problem as well as people talking, they kinda just agree to whatever was written because the thing is still fresh in their mind,

I agree, and tbh we had automatic transcripts as well (a feature of MS Teams), but its the same issue, you need to be able to record/capture in the first place

I tried to get people to record meetings and link them to features being discussed, so that working on a feature you can review everything that was said. IMHO it would reduce the amount of unnecessary conversation by 50% and save everyone a

I cook new things by googling "Simple X recipe" and removing anything that doesnt feel essential and adding random stuff I want to get rid of. Usually cant replicate it later.

What I'm saying is I think the risk itself is cost enough for them not to do it. Add whatever the losses are or we believe they are on top of that.

I didnt oppose accidental leak possibility. My main argument was that restricting the flow of information has caused (or rather may have caused as @simonh rightly pointed out) the accident to be worse than it could have been. Perhaps includ

I did in the next part of the sentence, because the cost of that information was too big, even for China

If that indeed was a master plan then Id argue it backfired massively, that information is not worth the losses and the risks, and is exactly why modern armies don't deploy biological or chemical weapons or zeppelins (because they are

It's well known that local Chinese authorities silenced a doctor (Li Wenliang) who was giving early warnings about the virus. That to me is a more grave mistake than an accidental lab leak, because they lost a chance to nip it in the b

Yeah that makes sense, but since Im talking about a gaming build I would think theres not much space left after you put the GPU in which is the main heat source, thus making airflow difficult

I've been considering small ATX gaming build but Im really worried it will heat like crazy after a while, even if it doesnt have 80 cores. Am I completely wrong?

Looks like someone gave me wrong information. Thank you, I stand corrected

You're right, I was thinking of BBC Worldwide which is now part of BBC Studios. Still, it makes a lot more money than the group gets from the license fee, which was my point.

In many universities in eastern europe, Philosophy and Logic is a required subject regardless of your major (and so was some form of PE). At least it was when I briefly studied there a decade ago. I think its great but it requires you not t
