nothing wrong with plastic. It's an amazing material. But using one-time disposable plastic to carry a banana home from the shop, no matter how convenient, leaves a bad environmental footprint and the microplastics used will persist forever.

it's like this with NFTs and all those controversial topics on twitter as well.

All the accounts in support comes from accounts with pseudonymous names, yet get reported as credible witnesses.

yea spam with content like fsdboijhgghwghQIUXXXQQEWR even in the subject line getting through.

depends on what you do outside of work too. you need to use it in social and informal settings. once you can relax and start using it colloquially then you'll get more comfortable.

these criminals were prosecuted for crossing a border to get takeaways, not prosecuted for having banned takeaways.

The market is not so big here so I would think certain client's security policy about localized data storage would play a role in their decision to build a center here.

the last thing people want from a company with a dismal reputation for privacy and content moderation is their hardware recording sound and video inside your home.

this is what bureaucracy and red tape looks like.

you have multiple chain of commands and grunts at the lower levels with minimal authority (or incentive) to show initiative- leading to a lot of frustration and hair pulling by the customer.

Incremental changes are fine- i mean the phone works well and a lot of changes are in the software anyway.

I don't get why people keep expecting a radical change each year. it's like they're looking for an excuse to update their phones annually.

If I wanted a radically different car i would buy a different model (granted there is pretty much only one iphone type).

New Zealand could work if you're looking for a similar culture and like the outdoors. Might be hitting the budget if it's Auckland but somewhere like Christchurch might be easier. The smaller cities are cheaper still but not much of a social life, I'd save them for travelling or visits rather than being based there. Just be aware groceries and most domestic products are a ripoff compared to the US.

at this point SoftBank seems somewhat like a crack addict willing to taking riskier and riskier bets in order to chase their initial high.

I've got a few letters which looks handwritten but obviously automated. i appreciate the effort but if the content is an obvious sales tactic it kinda diminishes the appeal.

it's not a ban on takeout food. we have a covid lockdown which means they weren't supposed to drive out of the city- especially if it's for something as menial as fried chicken.

and takeouts are closed because they want to limit people moving around. especially in an industry where workers are easily exploited and pressured into going to work even when sick.

i'd say a standardized OS and environment for onboarding is a better experience for onboarding so everyone is on the same page. doesn't mean you can't change it to something you prefer though.

any company big enough to be targeted can make up some excuse to be "critical" but yet still can't be bothered to step up their cybersecurity?

i find half the postings on most job site are just duplicates posted by recruiting companies who just rewrites the original company's post.

I especially liked one of the qualifiers where one of the pro team did a pacifist strategy where they actively avoided killing any enemy heroes and pushed to win the game in 20 min

also more because these aren't things you buy on a whim. there would've been whole teams on either side negotiating the deal. imagine doing that then realizing the buyer was also negotiating in bad faith with another seller behind your back.

i'd say they're more likely to hold no paper than Evergrande paper

the US can't fund their own healthcare i doubt they'll fund it elsewhere. and unfortunately there is rarely appetite for solving healthcare problems that are affecting mainly developing countries.

is there some kind of router that can combine connections to increase total bandwidth?

only the featured watch photo on the homepage changes time. the others are fixed.

she managed to charm a star studded board of directors so i'm not surprised people are still on her side.

we only ever hear about another country when they're doing worse as it's a good way for politicians to boast about their own strategies.

sure, doctors are not scientists. they're not out there inventing or researching new things, but they still need to use logic to work things out, based on the scientific knowledge available.

of course bad things happen when they presume that the facts they read are 100% true, and we now know a lot of them are drip-fed false facts by big pharma, sales rep etc. with hidden agendas. also there is a tendency for experienced docs to get caught up in their own ego and start acting with their own bias, which happens in all professions.

their website is terrible. even if i stumble across a post in my desktop that i want to read ill try search for it on my phone instead because their site works better on (third party) mobile apps.

nice but i'm not sure i want everyone at work to be able to zoom in on every pores of my face...

yeh most of my friends or at least people i am interested in following don't post much compared to several years ago. those who do are usually techies or people in sales trying to push their agendas

yeh one of the common injuries around MRI are not the magnetic field affecting your body but the hidden little metal jewelries in people pockets flying around the room. once we had a metal chair get stucked in and had to shut everything down to remove it.

once again they will warn us that GPT4 is a beta and is dangerous, skynet etc etc... but hey we're releasing it anyway.
