Endless quest texts. This is why I can't get into FFXIV (I'm only level 20 though but still). Worse, they added a few sound effects in some dialogues but the voice acting is missing. I really wish they didn't include these sound effects, as they're extremely basic and non-immersive.

In WoW, I installed an addon called Immersion. It makes the questing more immersive. They also lack voice acting in quests, but seemingly less (it doesn't bother me, but I still don't read the quests much).

How to solve? TTS. Allow a proper, American English or British English male or female voice (or just a couple) and I can listen to the quest while running around to the objective.

The music is fabulous, btw. In both games. And also, both games allow addons which is awesome (GW2 doesn't and neither did SWTOR when I played it back in the days).

Its possible I find the lack of voice acting annoying in FFXIV because the game is not yet challenging which makes me wanna rush. Or perhaps its some kind of desire to quickly level up, as inherited from previous MMORPGs.

Germany needs gas thanks to years of anti-nuclear, which is why we have 4x+ the carbon output for electricity of "nuclear is in bad shape" France

The only way Germany is getting rid of coal & gas is if France builds enough nuclear to power and heat Germany
Sure, race and ethnicity refer to heritage. But "hispanic" apparently means only... Well, les'see: A heritage from Spanish-speaking countries in Latin America. Countries which contain different races and ethnicities. So that leaves only a heritage of... the Spanish language, AFAICS. A linguistic heritage, not a racial or ethnic one.

What are we talking about here? Passenger fare? That's almost entirely abstracted away from actual cost of installation because it's in large part driven by demand not supply.

Infrastructure cost? New railway projects are notoriously expensive, but so are new airports.

Per unit cost? Train locomotives and carriages are far cheaper than planes.

Operating cost? Trains are far cheaper over time than planes. Their maintenance is far less intensive, they can run on just about anything, and they last for many decades without issue

>If you start to justify abusive behavior...

I use both and am yet to find the "monetise your data" stuff abusive. It's mostly things like trying to show an ad for mortgages if they figure you need a mortgage. Honestly with the various forms of death and hunger and real bad stuff in the world I'd feel a bit of a snowflake freaking out over someone trying to show me an ad for something they figure I may need.

Yes it is possible to ignore cold.

Not the wim method but something else.

Also possible to teach another person to ignore cold within a few minutes.

I'm going the senior IC route, I would add to the description in the article that the job usually comes with an expectation of technical leadership and mentoring and/or helping to steer management. I spend hardly any time in general meetings but do spend some time building consensus around technical decisions.
Terrible and fallacious analogy, the repeated press of a button doesn't power the search+replace process, it still needs electricity to run, the repeated pressing is more like a hardware clock that repeatedly pulses to advance the computation, which does indeed makes the search+replace process alone not turing complete, every turing machine has control logic to automate the execution loop.

It's more than that - it's also coming in to work and knowing you are better than 90% of the people there at a leisurely pace. There is a huge difference between coming in and working 16 hours just not to seem stupid and working 4 hours and being considered indispensable. Has NOTHING to do with some idealistic outlook perspective.

Yes. But Microsoft seems to have completely given up.
1: not even a theoretical problem in many areas (requires open access wifi in range not restricted by a guest portal).

Unless of course there's an actual contract between say Comcast & LG granting authorization, but that then becomes the type of thing that should be a whole lot more probable than a random anecdote without evidence

If you're having to use technological means to block, rather than your authority, then you've already lost I think.
I think the rough difference is that the psychopaths understand the internet now. Don't get me wrong, there were always some techies with software skills that made fake pharmacies and such, but the giant pool of lower intelligence psychopaths are now able to grind out scamming people.

As for me, I write software that keeps people's data safe and software that fights human traffickers and terrorists. I'm feeling good about what I do for a living. Our industry may broadly be far more scummy, but there are points of light still and I try my best to work for people that make the world better.

I think you answered your own question there, a little bit. Putin's speech yesterday really confirms it as well - he doesn't view Ukraine as a legitimate nation, and so the short-term goals are pretty clear: he'll take it all, if he's allowed to.
He probably learned a lot more than he could have, say, attending a code bootcamp — and he made money on top of that. So it's a huge win in my opinion.
Simplest thing is to just buy Roku TV's. The Roku OS is fantastic and neutral as far as the various content provider services go. It's got everything and the phone remote controls are great.

Usually very well priced via Sam's Club too. It's the only thing I'll buy now.
There is no good Dumb TV's.

I'm sorry but nearly any dumb TV has crappy brightness and poor black uniformity. I value a good picture, and if you spend any time comparing TV's on RTings you'd know that budget TV's are not worth it. I personally can not justify spending money on a TV that doesn't even have 400nits of brightness in SDR content, and neither should you. I'd be surprised if any non Smart TV has more than 300nits, most are at best 200 or 250.

The only time anyone should justify a shitty TV, is if that is all they can afford. Still do your research, there are cheap TVs out there that are decent for the money.

Like article above doesn't talk about. Sure maybe you like a microwave with two dials and not smart functions as you like it simple. But if you've never used an inverter based microwave packed full of smart tech, you never used a decent microwave. Its a single button press and perfectly cooked/warmed product every time. No cold spots. Sure a dumb microwave is fine, if you like to waste time.

A Dumb TV is no different. Sure it can be great after tossing a Fire TV stick onto it, and added a sound bar. But it still is going to have a budget picture, may have problems with ARC or no ARC at all, Bad menu system, etc.

For a Budget TV you are better off getting a higher end Hisense TV. Which has a bright Picture and runs Android TV.
Could someone explain to me how this should work? For example, if user A living in France makes a post and a user B living in America comments on it. Where should the data of this post + comment reside, ideally?

Russia has had it's billionaires sanctioned back in 14/15. Most of them now use the Russian banks to do their business (and those banks are not subject to sanctions and will misrepresent who they are doing business for).

The next step is to close the loophole and target the Russian banks as a whole, which will have consequences for non-billionaores in Russia too.
I came here expecting to read lots of discussion about why this might or might not be the case. Oh, well.
He did not state that Russia is not going to invade Ukraine. He insinuated that (in his opinion) it is nonsense to claim Russia had an interest in a small piece of Ukrainian territory, and that Putin demands respect and "...probably also deserves it." He was immediately fired afterwards because these personal statements (at a security conference in Asia) interfered with Germany's diplomatic efforts, which is always a big No No in the military.

I meditate almost daily for roughly 2+ hours and during that period I can feel waves of heat passing through the entire body. The solar center is located just below the navel. If you focus in the naval area you can generate heat.

I don't practice to generate heat but certainly see that as a side effect. I wonder if these Monks and Yogis can stay warm the entire day or just during the meditation practices

Does a neighbor have an open wifi? They'll use that.

Does a connected device have internet access? They'll try to use that (data over HDMI is available up to 48Gbit/s).

There's also the possibility (though probably lower) that the device will come with its own 4G modem. Your data's worth a fair bit of money, after all (not that you will ever be allowed to sell it directly).

> I see they don't want a "thing", but that hardly seems to be a reason to not name names.

I see you've never experienced the shit-storm of abusive messages sometimes received from fans when you say something bad about the products from a company they are unreasonably attached to. Or the rather aggressive stance some companies themselves take when something not complimentary is said. Or in the middle, paid shills (the company getting someone to pretend to be one of those overly attached people).

That might be what is meant by "a thing" here.
> This is already how the law works.

You say that like it is a good thing.
I'm sorry to hear that. I've had many positions where I felt like I belonged including my current. The ones where I didn't were very depressing and stressful.

I hope you will find more fulfillment in the future!

By the way I never planned anything. I don't think more than a week ahead. Somehow I have fallen into the right places anyhow.

I tend to get really bored once I've totally mastered a job so I change a lot. I need a challenge. Because I do this within the same company (lucky to get the opportunity!) it didn't really make me look like a jobhopper, that helped alleviate worries about having a CV that's all over the place.. Also, some things I've done (like desktop office telephony) are totally extinct now so it is pretty easy to explain. I'm definitely in the "Senior IC" category in the article.

But I can recommend to look around if you're not happy. You never know...

another dishonest game where you pretend to not understand context and make someone laboriously explain it to you. there is a difference between advertising pornography and seeing nudity at a beach.

by equating nudism with pornography, you're adopting the puritan frame you claim to oppose. that we can make obvious distinctions like this is the sign of a mature and healthy society; collapsing them into one concept is the domain of sex freaks and salafists.

Less than 6 weeks was required to restore internet service to one of the most challenging locations on the planet after a violent nature tantrum broke things.

Not bad, actually. They set up a rate limited but publicly available satellite uplink during the outage, and there were private satellite connections, so critical outside communications stayed online.

Not a bad outcome, considering everything else in the world that's breaking down.

Sounds like your HR is doing a decent job then, unlike mine. I recently applied to a business analyst role. I was told in the informational that I would spend only about 25% of my time researching/reporting, and that the other 75% would be project/stakeholder management. Ridiculous. No wonder we have trouble finding people when position titles are basically lies.
Not that you're wrong, but all of the things you mention should be illegal to force onto people. No device should be able to force themselves onto a data connection without consent.
It is not enough to be able to imagine a hypothetical very bad outcome. The expected negative impact (probability*badness) has to actually be large.

I can imagine blocking an ambulance and a patient dying if I leave my car double-parked. I can imagine someone slipping and breaking their neck if I don't shovel my sidewalk as required by the city. I can imagine a car swerving to avoid me and hitting someone else if I jay walk. But we don't punish these crimes with jail time.

The total negative impact of this jamming crime is probably dominated by the degradation of normal service for normal people (which I expect is large!), not rare events.
To me, Twitter is a guy in a crowd saying something. There will be followers nearby who presumably like what he says (or why are they there?). Then there are others away from the followers who overhear the (potential crap) he says. They respond. Or not. It is like being in a crowded bar and walking past discussions: just snippets of text with zero context (by and large). It is "communication" for people without RL friends or who have zero interest in responses to their statements. It is the ultimate self-validation: you actually don't care about dialog, just monologue.
First you have to establish what "healthy screen time" even means - something I imagine isn't quite so simple. The tactics for limiting screen usage to 1 hour a day seem likely to be different than limiting it to something like 5 hours a day.
> the part or building a SaaS business that everyone needs to do.

A few critical ones off the top of my head

- payments (subscriptions, cancellations, invoices, etc)

- authentication (signup, login, invite, forgot password)

- transactional emails (confirmations, etc)

for enterprise:

- permissions, access controls

- audit logs

- gdpr

- reporting, monitoring

- single sign on

other common saas-y needs

- notifications

- error monitoring

- performance monitoring

- admin tools (impersonate, deletions)

- feature flagging

I'm surprised a "SaaS in a box" hasn't really gotten traction. I think part of it is the tech stack dependencies - frontend frameworks, backend languages & frameworks, infra, databases, 3rd party tools

> the author is unwilling to accept relatively small concessions to fix enormous historical oppression

1) why is it "clear"? You where just "suspicious" but now you are certain?

2) it's not obvious these concession are either small (certainly not for "Daniel"), or that they'll fix anything (they might make them worse).

3) lowering standards doesn't actually mean equality - the new grad is qualified on paper, but not as qualified in practise. I've heard arguments that this doesn't matter - fair enough, but it's an argument that assumes how meaningless educational standard are, and I'm not sure that applies across the board - the US still has to compete with the rest of the world.

4) the concession is not official, but apparently covert, which is objectionable in itself - you might agree with AA, but disagree with extra-legal, "off-the-books" AA.

Ok, but I wouldn't count population size as a cultural property. Not sure I'd count technology (weapons) either - it's maybe a long-term cultural property.
