For sure. I fit my gaming into about 2 hours a week. If it takes 6 minutes to load there's no way I'm going to play it. I know I'm not the target market but I'm still a missed opportunity.
I use DDG search most of the time, but I find this to be untrue. DDG is pretty good, but struggles with context a lot more than Google does. For example, when searching for an error in a programming library, DDG is likely to return the library homepage, whereas google is more likely to return the specific github issue where the error is being discussed.
Yeah, since about 2000 it's been shown to be really unreliable in the US. Heavily weighted towards democrats for much of the same reasons that makes normal polling unreliable now.
Exit polls were historically used as a method of detecting election fraud, because they've always been very accurate. It's only the last few elections where we've seen such a large disparity in polling and actual results.
Just FYI, in terms of lockdowns, it's only been Victoria and NSW that have done the stage 4 lockdowns over the last few months. In SA, WA, QLD, NT, we've had closed land borders between the states, with police at border crossings and points of entry to stop anybody trying to come in without a valid and allowed reason. This has prevented the cases from Vic and NSW from spreading to the other states, in much the same way that would occur in the European scenario you describe. It's not impossible, it just takes the will of the people to accept a lack of freedom of movement.
The title should be "no new locally-acquired cases", but there was actually one that came in after the cut-off time so it will be counted in tomorrow's numbers.
It's about priorities. Swiss defense spending as a percentage of GDP is 0.675%. US defense spending as a percentage of GDP is 3.2%. I just picked a simple example, but you will find similar disparities across the board.
I can't speak for the US, but in Australia this argument has been used as an untrue talking point being pushed by climate-change deniers. A cursory google indicates to me that in CA prescribed burns have actually been increasing over the last few years, so I suspect it's probably the case in the US as well. In Australia it's clear that the higher frequency of catastrophic wildfires is a direct consequence of climate change.
Because there's more to life than work and entertainment. There's language barriers, culinary familiarity, family ties, cultural familiarity, quality of schooling, levels of crime, etc. etc.
Limited functionality after growth. What you're describing is fine for 10 blog posts, but what about 100? 500? How then do you manage pagination? Search? Tagging or categorisation?
I don't think that's really true. I have open source projects that nobody else actually uses, but I still get messages from people reading and looking at the code. There's often only one person maintaining open source software, but I'd bet there's a lot of eyes on a lot of projects.
I'm not saying the company should be able to shift the blame to the employee, I'm saying they're both at fault. Labour Law in Australia does in fact recognise this and individuals can be held criminally liable for negligence on the job. I understand that this happened in the United States, but my intention is not to predict the outcome of the case, but to make a statement about who should be held liable in a just system.
We should absolutely be blaming the individual in this case. They were negligent in their stated job role which led directly to the death of a bystander. We should also be finding fault with the processes and finding solutions for them, but this does not absolve the driver of their responsibility.
Right, it's about BATNA, but it stands to reason that especially in a time of ubiquitous remote work, offering remote workers salary parity will attract the highest talent from all regions, thereby providing a competitive advantage.
