And are you being paid more for your increased productivity, or is your company stealing that value?

The 3rd one is actually pretty good

Surely at the server side it knows the premium status of the user it is supplying the video to, so just wouldn’t insert the ads? I don’t see why that would need to be client side.

Not sure we saw the same movie if you think it looked cheap. Some very specific shots had some iffy CGI, and for some reason those are in the trailer, so I’m wondering if that’s all you’ve seen?

Get-Content <path> -wait

Or do you mean in cmd not powershell?

And notably, the odds for this happening were extremely low, because the vast majority of the time the team that catches the snitch wins

‘I recently took a french class, and yet I don’t even know half of these german words’

Not voting is still participating in the system because you live with the results, sorry mate. You don’t get to opt out then absolve yourself of guilt from the result if its the worst case.

Your principles are sound, but not voting in any election is imo equivalent to voting for whoever wins. If that turns out to be Trump your moral high ground has no basis because you actively enabled that result.

Voting for a candidate doesn’t have to mean endorsing their entire being, it can be for many reasons, most noteably tactical voting to ensure the least bad outcome.

Interesting to see it as being freed from a constraint rather than a crutch that viewers can be relied upon to watch all episodes. IMO writing satisfying one episode arc that also makes up part of a wider arc is much more difficult, and many shows now really have just a single arc that only gets good in the last third, making it essentially a 6-8 hour movie rather than an episodic show.

Fully anecdotal, but one of my 6th form rugby teammates went to watch a high school american football game, and said they were comparably as good as we were. Only difference is they filled a stadium and we’d get 3 dads on the sideline.

Junior teams for professional clubs do very much pay attention to school leagues and youth club rugby for players to ‘scoop up’.

Seems like a purely cultural difference around going to watch lower level matches to me, rather than the player skill and career trajectory being different.

Unfortunately he’s burning the governments money too so I wouldn’t be too excited about his constant lawmongering.

I think often cases are won or settled based on who has the most money to keep them going.

Perhaps the OP intended this, but I have seen the snowflake version of this much more commonly than yours:

No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible.

Just recently switched from spotify to antenna pod and can recommend it so far, especially as a lover of any app that will give you stats/graphs.

Only small issue is when playing there are two options: stream, and download. It seems that unlike spotify, stream does not buffer at all, so if you lose connection the player immediately stops. For me I can resolve this by downloading the episodes before I leave for my commute, but something to be aware of.

Trust will take some time to degrade though, and in the meantime they can cash in that genuine goodwill for customers to their shitty products. They don’t care about destroying the community, so the community must protect itself or become useless and cease to exist.

From wiki:

On November 12, 2020,[20] for his 31st birthday, Varshavski traveled to Miami to attend a beach party that was also attended by a number of other people without masks, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Footage of the event was posted on Instagram and went viral, particularly on Reddit.[21] On November 18, Varshavski apologized for his actions in a YouTube video,[22] saying he “messed up” and he needed “to do better”.[23] His attendance of the party was criticized by medical professionals. Bioethicist Arthur Caplan, director of the division of medical ethics at NYU Langone Health, said Varshavski “fails completely in being an appropriate role model and he should be called out, and he deserves even more criticism than he’s getting so far.”[23]

Doctor Mike lost any respect I had for him after his behaviour during the pandemic. He is a content creator far above being an actual medical professional.

Not even Millennials see action against your employer as ‘betrayal’. Company loyalty is dead, and this professor is out of touch.

I also propose Jaime Lee Curtis last year, definitely felt more like a lifetime achievement oscar than that particular role

I will never understand the idea that rebasing inherently causes problems. Rebasing gives a much cleaner history and reduces the number or commits with multiple parents, making it approximate a simple tree rather than a more complex graph.

The simple rule is branches that only you work on can be rebased, shared branches must be merged.
