Even something like $1000/year for every citizen will be significant enough to affect lives of some people. Assuming over 20% of Americans have near-zero amount of savings, this can be just enough money to avoid eviction, or pay off credit card debt, have home internet, or travel to other city for job interview etc.
Does your solution handle the situation when consumer crashes and queue has to be accumulated (while RAM allows) until consumer is up again (maybe 1 day later)? AFAIK ZMQ can't guarantee this.
If he is a call center operator, I don't get why he can't work from home. If his current employer can't allow this, maybe he can find a more technically competent company?
I've stumbled on a bunch of good quality podcasts following freemium model, where they share a part of the content exclusively with their patrons. I'm guessing it earns them more money than ads.
I should've given more context. Based on my anecdata in post-Soviet world, ~50% of graduates choose a job completely unrelated to their degree (e.g. a chemist becomes web designer, a linguist becomes QA engineer, and economist becomes barista). They probably realize this during first 1-2 years in college, but they carry along because it's just easier this way, they made friends with classmates, and education is free or cheap.
The point is, they don't care at all about the academic problems because it's (a) not interesting to them and (b) usually professors don't motivate students with real-life examples. E.g. while microeconomics is very much relevant for everyone, the way it was taught to us, it felt insanely boring and inapplicable to real problems.
I can only vouch for post-Soviet states, but it's supposedly also widespread in India and China (and who knows where else). I think we inherited it from Soviet era when hard work and imitation of hard work would be compensated the same.
In some countries it's pretty normal and expected for students to cheat in school, but after they find a job where they are treated with trust and respect and given real-world problems to solve, absolute majority will stop playing tricks.
I don't see anything common in structure between postfix `unless` and examples of garden-path sentences, which seem to be based on word ambiguity. Nothing is ambiguous in e.g. `print(x) unless x != 0`. Although admittedly without syntax highlighting, conditionality it's less obvious.
You can't just blame Amazon on loss of business for brick-and-mortar bookstores. In my country we don't have Amazon, yet paper book sales are decreasing because why buy if you can just download for free. And if you want to pay, it's just easier to buy online (ebook or paper). Not to mention that probably overall demand for reading books is decreasing.
Typically, disabling JS (e.g. with NoScript) prevents most of the annoying dialogs like this. Also it helps with some paywalls. Of course, it adds a bunch of other annoyances with websites which won't work properly without JS (that is, most of them).
> if you lose $1M by quitting but you already have $10M+ in the bank
Losing money is hard, but if you reframe it as being rewarded $1M (with pretty low marginal utility after $10M) by losing your freedom, then such a choice is only rational.
As a normal user who wants privacy, you'll be just fine with LineageOS on Xiaomi. Assuming you don't install spyware later. You don't even have to install Google apps (see f-droid and Aurora store).
2 seconds is definitely not enough, unless you put pressure on "rectum destroyer" level. You don't need to wash it as clean as your hands, but give it 5 seconds at the least.
> About 5 million residents left Wuhan before the lockdown because of the deadly coronavirus epidemic and the Spring Festival holiday, mayor Zhou Xianwang revealed
If I happened to have a job in Amsterdam, Copenhagen or similarly cyclable city, I'd totally find a place with 1 hour bike commute from the office, to both save money on rent and get free cardio exercise.
I hate almost all ads, but if it's not intrusive, it's just not worth the effort to add a blocking rule for it. In 2019, I think the only "ad" I blocked was "Hot network questions" on SO, because it had very negative impact on my productivity.
If remote work became a norm, I'd expect housing market in large cities to sink dramatically. Why would one move e.g. to New York if their hometown provided same same job opportunities?
From guest point of view, Airbnb defection defense is pretty annoying, as it doesn't let you post URLs, addresses, or phone numbers prior to booking. Also pretty easy to circumvent.
Somewhat recent Android versions have work profile which at the very least gives you a sandbox for all apps you want to be isolated from the main profile. Unfortunately, all those work profile apps still share data between themselves. Maybe it was improved lately.
Some people own cars. Car ownership rate is around 11% according to [1], which doesn't look that high.
That said, Singapore public transportation (at least SMRT trains [2]) is freaking strict about food and drinks. I could not even have a sip of water without triggering a warning message. So anyone who can't control their thirst or hunger (like, you know, basically any kid) isn't really welcome there.
But GP is correct. They only missed the part where the profits from increased parking fees should be used to either lower tuition, or spent on one of your schemes or public transport infrastructure.
