What about the possibility of geofences detecting your proximity to a Burger King and perpetuating through ad networks to trigger the current ad campaign which happens to be the Fruit Loops shake?

One aspect can be that it turns the audio itself into a physical medium that decays with environment. There are related factors to how audio is reproduced from analog formats as well that change the character of the sound. Perfect fidelity

Rewarding failure can have pitfalls (if we mean something like customer impacting fallout). You may then be encouraging people that create broken things over people that more quietly create well-functioning things the first time around. Ena

To double down on the cynicism, you also need to be sure your employees value your options for this to be relevant.

I don't necessarily disagree, but I think you start getting into challenging grey area with pre-existing conditions. Is being overweight a consumer responsibility but an auto-immune disease isn't? How do you effectively draw a lin

The trick all recipe writers use is the recipe time assumes you are mise-en-place, that all your ingredients are prepared for the recipe ahead of the recipe time. I'm fairly certain Blue Apron and such are no different.

I think part of this is because of company/domain knowledge. It may not be that the person is necessarily "senior" level generic technological talent, but they have built up deep knowledge of the companies systems to become a

I think it's more insidious than that. Of course it's not done on earned income. That would be too transparent for the general public to see. Instead you create a lot of financial instruments with varying degrees of complication t

Is actor-based really considered top level for Scala? Akka is still a framework and not in the language itself, I'd argue the core concurrency is Java-based thread pooling enriched with Scala's Future type. That said, I do agree t

If your workload can generally run in a non-distributed manner, then the operational overhead of dealing with Spark versus simpler paradigms will be expensive. That has been my first hand experience.

I'm not sure if I understood what you meant with layering drum hits. If you mean being able with a single trigger to have layered samples go off that form a drum hit like a snare or bass, then some drum samplers come to mind like Geist

That would be entirely true if equity were handled the same way as it was in 1999. To be fair, I wasn't there to know for sure and can only base this off what I've read. As I understand it equity has changed, almost in the opposit

If spraying works for you that's good. In general it is not recommended to spray because cats generally don't associate punishment well with actions. They are more likely to develop fear of you and/or the object than discoura

I don't know. I use Slack and Discord a lot. The only advantage Discord has going for it is the voice chat channels, which has much more utility for gaming than business in my opinion. Otherwise Slack is way better at all the other fea

That might depend on the type of promotion. It's actually becoming shockingly common these days (at least in the US?) to not give raises on promotions anymore.

I'm not sold that they've avoided this for the most part. Many of the most important tournament cards are mythic rares. BG delirium is one of the top two competitive standard decks currently and 25% of the deck is mythic rares. h

I've seen this exact case of trying to replace the front end with React. Then the recent economic climate lead to pretty much the entire team getting axed since the pre-existing codebase was working, just messy and not cutting edge.

It's dead simple to buy Serum (first-hand experience) and you don't have to worry about malware, I don't buy this premise. They also actively support and develop their products and you get free updates and support for years.

Not entirely true. You would get a warning if its not exhaustive matching for a sealed trait and you can make warnings into compiler errors with a compiler flag.

I'm sure this toxic hiring strategy serves your company's interests well, but is terrible for the industry. Let's all adopt this approach and in a few years there won't be anyone taking someone from 0 experience to 1-3 y

Home buying requires certain priorities. I think you outline a different and successful financial path through life. I don't agree that home buying, in contrast, makes no sense at all. While you are correct that compound interest does

If that's true, then much of jazz music should have never translated on recordings. It also was not uncommon for multiple takes of the same song be recorded for jazz as well. I feel like that should apply here, unless there's anot

Anti-raiding policies seem to stand on dubious legal grounds (that is there is no consensus with some places in the US prohibiting) and most often only include the solicitation from direct competitors to the business, not just other compani
