It was free in the early days but over time teams and individuals were funneled into paying. At least in my region, you can still get a 7 day trial, but beyond that you have to pay.

Adobe offered me a reduced rate subscription over the phone after I cancelled my subscription. No qualifications mentioned. I accepted. A year and a half later I noticed I had been charged 3-4x the reduced rate each month for the last 6 months. I tried to get my money back, they refused. I cancelled my subscription and vowed never to touch Adobe products again.

I was in a position at my company to end our use of XD and immediately move to Figma. We've grown 3x since and Figma's been great. For personal work I prefer Sketch it looks and feels like a native app.

You haven't understood the problem.

A: Hi (expecting a response from person B before continuing) B: Hi A: proceeds with start of questions or comment

The first problem is that A may, as you say, sitting idly by waiting for B to say "hi" back. I.e. the first person may not understand how to effectively communicate in an async setting.

The second is that "hi", then waiting for a response, can signify to B that A wants an active, real-time conversation - not an async conversation. The ambiguity of "hi" may cause B to deliver complete attention, which has real costs. Unfortunately, A might just be being polite (in a misguided way) or they have jumped the gun and spoken before they have thought about what they want to say.

This is a very real communication issue that has causes a real productivity loss from high performers that have to unblock people frequently.

It is not surprising people react poorly to other people trying to police their natural language based on assumptions projected onto them about it.

Male/female to describe individual or cohorts of humans based on sex is pretty common language. It certainly isn't "fundamentally" wrong. It's just a higher abstraction. You have to infer the form of being from the context - usually very easy.

The rest of this article is just an author's assertions about how these words are used.

German nationals vs other. They’re suggesting OP is drawing a false analogy by framing the compartmentalisation through employment and ignoring the ethnic divisions.

This sort of sounds like bullshit. It's definitely conjecture as there's nothing concrete to back it up. My own conjecture: Use nuance, but in general if someone is on your landing page they have some idea of what your product is. "Sign Up" is a well established convention that immediately signals to the user you have a platform model that requires or adds benefit through authentication. Anyway this article is from 2014 and most big platforms still use Sign Up.

Other possible lessons: Don't get a PA, manage your own affairs. Keep your PA at a very comfortable distance. Take your privacy and security very seriously. Go to the police when someone steals of 10s of thousands of dollars from you. Do what you can to see that person charged to the full extent that the law allows. Don't come up with a payment plan for them. My own read is this guy was more concerned about being/appearing socially responsible and forwent good risk management.

In the end tho, to end up dead and dismembered from this, this guy is still very unlucky.

The burger is made primarily from Soy. Soy accounts for 2/3 of global protein feed. Humans eating directly from livestock's primary food source is likely to be much more efficient at a global scale.

I used Kubespray on Container Linux with Calico. Maybe I got lucky but I had it working perfectly almost first try. I think I needed to handle like one error in the entire Ansible playbook.

I thought Bare Metal meant dedicated hardware in the cloud. E.g. Vultr (https://www.vultr.com/pricing/baremetal/) distinguishes VPS vs bare metal as you getting access to entire physical servers without neighbours. Not entirely sure if this is standard nomenclature though.

I find you have to train yourself to use DDG a bit. For example when I'm searching something JavaScript-centric but is a language agnostic concept, I have to prefix it with "javascript" whereas Google can already guess the context. On the plus side It helps you stay aware of the world outside your own! I find DDG's hashbangs incredible useful e.g. `!bi whales` (bing image search: whale) when it doesn't deliver.
