Yes I thought of that too, but the parent to my question stated that Tiller is already replacing TikTok. Clearly this demographic doesn't have brand loyalty. It's not difficult/costly for them to jump ship from an existing platform to another one. By the time preteens have access to Money TikTok, Tiller and their followers will be replaced at least twice over.
Why is preteen a coveted demographic for a business? Are you able to point me to something I can read that would explain why a business wants to court what to me seems like a financially handcuffed group? I understand that preteens can influence their guardians into making a purchase for a toy or some other small ticket item, but they're not going to influence big ticket purchases. Or do they?
From option 1, are corporate profits up because of expanded share buyback operations of those corporations? In the current economic downturn buyback-ing seems to be the way to show earnings to shareholders...
Funny. You pine for 16:10 everywhere and I pine for 4:3 everywhere. If software is eating the world, then why doesn't the ultimate screen ratio for development take over computers?
A carpenter friend came up with a similar design a couple of weeks ago. His slides over the visor of a baseball cap. He sourced thin plastic sheets, created a form, then made thousands, and sold them all to an org in B.C., Canada. Great minds think alike.
"Naked selling of put options can be quite dangerous in the event of a steep fall in the price of a stock. The option seller is forced to buy the stock at a certain price. However, the lowest the stock can drop to is zero, so there is a floor to the losses."

That's interesting to read about re-seating the connector. I have a 6 year old TP T540p which experiences half of the screen flickering. When I first got the T540p the wireless signal strength was terrible. I replaced the wireless card with two different other brands but they didn't improve the signal strength. Lenovo sent a tech onsite that opened the computer up to discover that the antenna which is routed from the mobo up through the hinge was being pinched when the screen was opened.
I use a Dell Latitude with Thunderbolt docks and for the past two years I have had consistent problems with the Thunderbolt dock in one location, while in the other location I frequent the Thunderbolt dock has been rock solid. In the problematic location I have gone through three different Dell TB16 docks despite staying current with device driver updates, and finally gave up on the TB16 model and went with a D6000 which has been stable since its installation.
Agreed. My language learning skyrocketed once I forced myself to only converse in the language. Regrettably for that you need to have native language speakers available which was something I was able to avail myself of.
I would say his courage comes from his conviction that he is right in his beliefs. There have been many individuals and groups that have endured state oppression with the same attitude of bliss because of their resolute belief that what they are doing is right.
YES! I had a 2003 Pontiac Vibe, same car - different cladding, and the best feature of the hatchback was that the glass also flipped up independent of the hatch. I once stuck a massive snowblower in it that was only possible because the glass was up and the handles were hanging out. I really like station wagons / hatchbacks, but their killer utility feature is a rear window that flips open or rolls down into the hatch. Sadly no cars are made with that feature anymore.
It's a good thing Microsoft doesn't think that way. It apparently has metrics that show desktop development is not stagnating, but rising thanks in part to Windows desktop OS usage also rising [1]. See its plans for WinUI v3 [2]. WinUI is not cross-platform but it is talking about it.
If a side project _is_ recommended or advisable, then perhaps it should be about diversification. If my main job is software development, then my side project should be import/export. Branching into different areas will provide the growth and understanding of self that the author speaks about. Plus diversification will help me when AI takes over my coding job and I'm left jobless.
Nothing wrong with renting, so long as you can sublet it, and you have rent control. Consider it an investment without all of the capital cost expenditures that come with a ownership. I have a coworker whose family member rented a one bdrm condo in downtown Toronto 20 years ago when she was attending university. When she left univ, she sublet it to another family member, and so on, and so on through the years. Thanks to rent control the rent has only increased a few hundred dollars over those twenty years. However, the she sublets it at current rental market value which pockets her $1000/month. Nice!
I remember reading a comment some time ago which stated that they were concerned about the trustworthiness of HDMI, Thunderbolt, and the like as they can contain hidden features that could compromise the user. Fascinating. We need a firewall on our gateways, and on our peripheral ports.
Agreed. The username is simply a human friendly representation of an internal unique ID use in the database. What if the user decides to change their name from "CPU" to "CPUZ"? They would lose all of their experience. I really the implementation is not as shown in the screen shot.
Agreed. Manual mode is a necessity. I was just shooting night skies and had to use manual focus and manual mode to get the photo. My Canon 6D doesn't have the imaging magic that comes with modern smartphones like my Samsung Galaxy S8 that can take a rapid fire succession of photos that my Canon 6D could only dream of, but the 6D is a boss at getting low light photos of high quality, or being able to take the photo I see at the time I want it. It's always ready, and will always take the photo.
I had a Sun Sparc Classic with a Sun 17" CRT monitor. It was the monitor that caught fire due to a build of dust on the electronics. Call me dirty, I guess.
Software Engineering Daily had a recent discussion with the founder of render.com, Anurag Goel, and I learned that it provides static sites for free, and services starting at $5 so it's what I'm reviewing now. Render appears to be using K8s and Docker containers to create instances from Github repos. Anurag gave a reasonable explanation of why he thinks render.com is superior to Heroku at 29:15:5 in the transcript. https://softwareengineeringdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2019...
I agree with Snopes. Pronunciation is everything in Spanish. The word nova is not at all pronounced the same as no va, and a native Spanish speaker would not confuse the two. My personal experience after having lived in Central America with locals, not ex-Pats, is that accent and pronunciation are the key to speaking Spanish, not grammar.
While you're at it, add Blokada to your Android device and it too will eliminate the need for uBlock Origin or Ghostery in Chrome on Android since it's operating outside of the browser's sandbox. Or use Firefox on Android and continue using the ad block plugins it provides. Hopefully Firefox doesn't go away anytime soon...
If you want to flex your language muscles but still get an interesting cultural and historical experience try the less popular Central American countries like Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador or Nicaragua. I lived in HN for 3 years, and if you avoid the island of Roatan you will be fine. Of course, the majority of Central Americans fleeing to the USA right now are from Guatemala and Honduras so buyer beware.
