An explanation I've heard is while people might support an issue, as shown in polling, they don't feel very strongly about it compared to other issues. In that sense, many (most?) opinion polls are not predictive of voting in any

I took two sabbaticals last decade, the first 6 months and the second about a year. After the last, I started a new job full time for about a year, after which I transitioned to working just Monday - Wednesday (8 hour days). I'm in ye

I think you're right and I misremembered how I did it, since it had been so long. Thanks for the correction!

You can disable it permanently, but I believe it requires registry editing to do so. I run Win 10 with real-time protection always turned off.

I came here to say the same thing. There are some attributes that would be red flags to me, and it would be helpful to filter out companies that select them.

I'm getting closer to doing that. Lately, I check the box, and if I'm presented with images, I leave. I have also trained myself to wait a few seconds before clicking the box, which seems to help assert my humanity.

That seems odd. They're usually classified in the 'Documentary' genre (Amazon Prime Video, IMDB, etc). The "Super Size Me" WikiPedia even begins "Super Size Me is a 2004 American documentary film". The ent

I feel a sense of dread whenever I see this box. Is it going to let me through, or am I going to spend the next few minutes futilely clicking signs and lights, only to give up and leave the site?

I believe Steam has both editions. There are certainly different store entries for "Doom 3" and "Doom 3: BFG Edition".

You can also get a Doom 3 Steam key right now from several places for less than $2.

It's definitely a hard profession to walk away from when you have the skills, because it's much more lucrative than most alternatives. Find a gig which is not too stressful (generally 40 hours/week). Likely candidates are in

That's exactly how I feel as well (in my late 30s). After awhile, the passion does wane. Cynically, why would I have passion to work long hours for another startup who is going to "change the world" through marketing ad-tec

I don't think this is correct. I use Steam and have a lot of games installed. When it does updates, they are not the size of the original downloads. Usually, much, much smaller.

It may be fashionable to like monoliths on HN, but microservices is still the hotness if I judge by the recruiting emails I get.

It wasn't just the gameplay for me, but the episodic format. I grew tired of that, and I would wait until all episodes were released to buy. By then, I might have either forgotten about the game, or could get it for a substantial disco

I agree, Quern was great and much more Myst-like than the Witness. The Eyes of Ara is another Myst-like I enjoyed. I'm always looking for more.

My experience was similar. I think I blocked the phone number they called from, and that seems to have been effective. Unfortunately, though not a subscriber, my car stereo often defaults to the Sirius input when I start it. This mean I&#x

I have a Bank of America card with the same feature. In some ways I’m glad it’s not more widely used, or merchants might start banning the BINs the virtual cards use.

No, you'd have to hack the heir's LastPass account. Also, as others have mentioned (including the parent), the length of time is customizable as well.
