Count yourself lucky. I once had a phone company that needed a FAX to cancel. And even then they didn't.
Is there a bit of commonality for remote button frequencies? I have 3 different remotes for TV equipment plus my AppleTV remote. The volume buttons from all 4 remotes work, and I've never attempted to program/train/learn them.

Congratulation downvoters you've successfully used free software on the back of people for a long time and don't want changes.

Exactly my point. White Male CEOs are afraid of an article in a major newspaper showing them being rich next to a picture of a poor minority that they just fired. So they put a PR spin on the firings.
This has got to be some kind of vestige from Windows 3.11, when the spinner control was about 3x larger - relative to the common screen sizes of the time, that is.

There is no gambling involved in buying a book. I give you $X you give me a book.

Gambling is I give you $X I have a,b,c % chance of getting A,B,C. Usually I get nothing. Nothing I can do can effect the outcome.

Colloquially, you might say "I don't like this author, but the reviews say blah was a blah, so I took a gamble".
But that is clearly not the same as pure chance gambling.
That computer doesn’t even meet Risk of Rain’s min specs so of course it’s gonna run like that. League of legends and valorant don’t have nearly the same amount of cpu bound gameplay logic. Minimal AI, dedicated servers, less characters on screen is in lol and val advantage. RoR2 is p2p, has a lot of AI, tons of bullets, large environments, and a small development team making it have different requirements. Riot has a lot of resources to focus on performance that a small developer can’t.

What makes you think this is at all unique or related to the industry, other than being an industry that spits out more folks with $75k to burn than most others?
I would say the main arguments against nuclear are political; the waste storage problem and a fear for accidents. There can also be laws against building new nuclear plants or taxes that disproportionally disadvantage nuclear. The huge capital costs don't speak in favor of nuclear either, but I do wonder how the other aspects affect even considering to build new plants.

I don't really follow your opportunity cost argument. Do you mean the price of 1 plant equals the price of 10GW renewables? Are you taking into account the fact that you have to replace the renewables after about 20 years while you can run a new plant for about 60 years?
We empowered federal government in Constitution to do a limited list of things, with everything else explicitly reserved to the States and the people. Space Janitor can be put in Constitution via an amendment.

I've never needed a hand brake to drift in a rear drive vehicle with plenty of power. It's already easy to oversteer and break the rear wheels loose. Is there something special about the new Mustang so that a handbrake is necessary for drifting?
Because the world they seem to be advocating for is a dystopian hellhole.
Unlikely. Rogers is such a terrible internet company I was glad when I moved back to the US got to use American cable companies (as terrible as they are).
> Why breed Purrstige Traits?
Breeding a Purrstige Trait can be challenging, but it’s rewarding too. Because Purrstige Traits are time-limited, they’re particularly rare — and especially valued as a result. Plus, Purrstige Traits are always a nice visual treat, creating some of the game’s most beautiful and unique cats.

From the docs, lots of talk about value. Not much reason why. It reminds me of the Beanie Babies Valuation books. Made everyone scream over a $7 plushie.
This is the correct answer.
In the book I am going through now, which is by one of those high performing sales centric CEO's who makes a fuck load of money, says new customers are the goal.

Not retention, not customer service, not the customer experience.

Then he proceeds to order them by priority.

It is backwards, I do not think this way. Yet, the modern successful business does.

This is not a good comparison. You frequently use the internet for other things. It seems like crypto is only used for this, with every other use being closer to an edge case.
Good point, and Apache APISIX maintainers are actively improving the Plugin Development Documentation to make developers easy to onboard.

P.S Apache APISIX supports using WASM, which means we could use Java, Golang, Python to implement plugins and run it in APISIX’s core.
Exercise has two additional weight loss benefits over just burning extra calories. Sustained activity cranks up your metabolism for a period afterwards, and additional muscle mass means you’re less likely to have extra calories go immediately to fat.

That exists now btw, with verification based on physical passports. It will soon plug into other forms of verification (social network, fingerprints, stake-based bounties, etc) to give higher certainty of one person one vote. But yeah I would bet any distant-future consensus mechanism has proof-of-humanity as its basis, using a democratic decision making layer to verify transactions. https://coinpassport.net/

This is fairly new tech academically btw, and it's only possible anonymously since the ZSnark cryptography tricks.
I accidentally implemented this behavior in a number input recently. Felt stupid after fixing it. This stuff can happen so easily when people don't use the stuff they build.
IIRC that is an absolutely bullshit number based on taking what the Brits actually did steal, giving it the most favorable conversion to USD, and then applying a few hundred years of compounding interest.

7% APR for 300 years is a 650,000,000x return.

Banks have a whole lot of bank laws. While mostly it is paperwork, it also means some trust and responsibility that can be used to do things that banks do fornon banks like process money. Check with the local laws. The law protects customers of banks at the expense of the bank, which is what you want customers to know before using you for bank like things.

Hey, I created Markdoc at Stripe. Back in 2017 when I first started exploring options for improving the authoring experience, my original prototype actually used AsciiDoc (via AsciiDoctor). I had a lot of trouble getting buy-in for AsciiDoc from the users, who universally preferred Markdown, and their feedback is what ultimately led me to create Markdoc instead.

AsciiDoc gets a lot of things right, but it also has a lot of syntactic complexity and idiosyncrasies that were challenging for our documentation contributors. In documents with structural complexity, it becomes unwieldly very quickly. For example, having to vary the length of the delimiter line when nesting delimited blocks[1] is pretty arcane and leaves a lot of room for errors to creep in when reordering pieces of content. Even though AsciiDoc's extensibility model was compelling to us, it's really not designed for the kind of deeply-nested hierarchies that we needed to be able to express things like our integration builder[2] UI.

Anyhow, we have a section in our FAQ[3] that provides more context about why we didn't choose AsciiDoc. I remain a fan of AsciiDoc even though it didn't fully meet our needs, and Markdoc was definitely influenced by the things that we thought AsciiDoc got right.

Why would they do that? You pay for YouTube Premium monthly. If they put in ads, you cancel. Simple enough.
When I cancelled my cable internet, I had to call and decline three increasingly appealing “final offers” (spaced out by some pleasant-but-awkward small talk).

As soon as I said no to the third, the rep said they would disconnect the account, and that was it. Super weird, especially to think that that is literally someone’s job, all day long, every day. Hopefully they get to rotate in and out of that desk.

Rogers is an abysmally bad company in terms of market near-monpolization and customer service, BUT, from the point of view of someone in telecom:

There is a non zero risk of unauthorized 3rd parties making service changes or cancellations to somebody's account, so it's standard procedure to have a customer service rep ask some basic security questions of the account holder before proceeding with a port, change or cancellation.

You don't want just any random person who stole your login/password to the rogers portal to be able to port your cellphone number away, right?

There's a valid reason why a few barriers should be introduced to cancelling someone's service or making significant service changes, before the company can be totally satisfied that it really is the authorized account holder making the change.

You get security problems like people trying to port away someone's number to receive SMS for "SMS 2FA" (which is not really 2FA at all, that's a whole other shitshow) to hijack cryptocurrency trading accounts or similar. Or any other service that can have its credentials reset by sending an SMS to the "authorized" phone number.

In addition to the risk of fraud for things like porting numbers away, there's things like disgruntled ex-girlfriends/ex-boyfriends trying to cancel peoples' services.

All of that said, it is also a sad fact that C-level execs at big consumer-abusive canadian telecoms consider it totally fine to introduce whatever arbitrary barriers they can to reduce the level of customer churn.

There is the factor that a great many Rogers customers have been tricked at the start of their service into signing up for 12, 24 or 36 month term contracts, so arbitrarily cancelling service can have financial implications for the customer if they didn't look in detail at what they signed up for when they started the service. Even with BYOD device plans, the 3rd party Rogers resellers in Canada such as Glentel get a buttload more commission from locking people into 24 month contract terms, so they do that as the default now unless you look carefully at what you're signing.

Can someone tell me how to successfully do a wash trade? because I frankly have no idea.

If you fund it from your coinbase account, coinbase is going to tell the taxman about both your wallets... so no buerno. If you fund another wallet from a known wallet... the tax man can still see that. If you use Tornado cash, Coinbase is going to block it. I just don't think it's as easy as people think it is.
Democracy being highly illusory may have something to do with it - I suspect such policies (this is just one among many) being legal is not The Will of The People.

The penis enlargement is still out of budget.
Arguable. Especially in the context of education.
Yeah most use a 38khz pulse wave and then encode ones and zeros in it. There are tons of different brand-specific protocols for stuff like volume, power, etc. but you're right there is a lot of overlap and commonality. Some universal remotes just fire as many different brand signals on button press as possible.
The actions countries take are beyond ethics? How exactly does a country take an action?
That most consumer products, like TV sets, consoles, monitors - to this day - include barely listenable audio quality suggests that, yeah, audio is usually an afterthought. Youtube videos and podcasts seem to be having an effect on that, slowly. Muddy reverb that masks the listenability of irreplaceable interviews is getting rarer.
Somewhere in the 80s, probably an article in BYTE, showed how spaghetti code was structured in that program flow crossed other flow lines, while structured code had closed modules with flow that didn't cross other flow lines, but were more 'onion-shell' like in their modularity.

After that, my increasing use of a structured language like C rather than continuing in my spaghetti-code BASIC programming helped a lot too.
For wireless you don't actually have to call. You can just ask your new provider to port the phone number and your subscription on your old provider will be deactivated.

But yes, it's bullshit and it's worse for those other services.

I've recently got a preloaded Visa that doesn't effect credit that I'll be using for shit companies that I have to deal with so I can just cut off the funding instead. Problem should take care of itself.

It's shocking to me that you can't simply stop paying when you don't want to use a service anymore - you have to ask them to stop taking your money. When you actually think about it, it's ridiculous and unacceptable.
But you already have to run yourself a similar infrastructure for the game itself, the digital asset tracking is just a small part that can be integrated within the existing systems.
Not underrated at all. One of my favorite movies, and has quite a following.
On the other hand, a former CIA director or something is on Amazon board of directors now, who kicked out a pro-Trump network (Parler, if memory serves me right) not long ago.
All language is performative. We all use it for the effect it creates.

It's true, so how's that for post-truth?

> Why don't we have more businesses following the JetBrains model specially if the product is not a service that needs to run 24/7.

JetBrains would have gone the SaaS route if they could get away with it. Seven years ago, they made an announcement[1] to go pure-subscription/SaaS, and the outcry[2] was so massive, they reversed course over a matter of days,id memory serves.

1. They proposed licensing term changes included bricking your IDE the moment your subscription lapsed, switching from their previous terms where you'd be stuck on a working then-current release forever.

There isn't really. Most manufacturers have multiple sets of patterns.

There are smart remotes with libraries of patterns and capable of switching between those, eg Logitech Harmony (assuming that's still a thing).

There are also "learning" remotes. One of these would be easiest to homebrew. Basically you've got an IR detector. You point your existing remote at it and tell it to start watching for whatever button you want to map. Then you press that button on your existing remote. Voila, key mapped. You just have to keep doing that for all the zillion and a half buttons on your remote and you've got yourself a clone.
Interestingly, it’s a much less risky procedure on Children, because all the soft tissue around the bones will adjust much more easily than in adults (who routinely lose movement range with this procedure). However, it’s rarely done on non-adults except for medical reasons.
Britain definitely has the best claim. They were given it in a treaty almost 200 years ago, and are currently in possession of it.
SiriusXM is the notorious offender. Easy sign up, but to cancel you need to call or chat within business hours.
> Debris can be caused by defunct companies that put sats up when this all wasn't a concern.

I think the point is that it was always a concern. It's never not been a problem to leave your trash for someone else to clean up. A person standing in a pristine forest is still wrong to throw their trash on the ground and walk away even though it doesn't immediately turn the forest into a toxic cleanup site, and it would be hard for the litterbug to guess at the costs of paying someone to go into the forest to clean up that mess in the future.

It was never acceptable for companies to throw their junk into orbit without having a plan in place to remove it, they just did it anyway because no one was willing to force them to be responsible.

Now we've reached a point where it's time to start forcing people to be responsible for their trash, but that doesn't mean the people who have been littering and brought us to this point were not wrong to do it or that it wasn't wrong for our world's governments to allow it to happen. It was wrong. We knew better, people have been warning us about the possible dangers since at least the 80s and NORAD has been keeping track of space junk since the 1950s!

I think it's perfectly reasonable to point out that, once again, we failed to hold governments and corporations accountable for trashing the environment and now it's predictably come back to bite us collectively in the ass, yet there's not been much talk about making those directly responsible for the mess pay for what they've done and companies today are continuing to act as they always have done.

There are apps that claim to cancel subscriptions for you, like TrueBill and Rocket Money. I haven't tried it, but I'm curious how this is implemented and how well it works.
Wow, everyone hates Adobe now. I haven't used them since CS4 or CS5. Crazy how all companies turn to absolute shit when they get huge.

That's been the case already for decades.

The Royals are largely a revenue-generating tourist attraction.
If you ask random people on the streets if they think power companies invest more in fossil fuels or in renewables, it's quite likely they'll say yes. By this token, I find the fact that not only they invest more, but they invest 3 times as much really encouraging.

You ask why not 30x or 300x. I don't know, maybe I'm more of a glass-half-full type of person. But that's just me. You are absolutely free to think that we are doing quite bad while we are not at 30x or 300x.
pro tip: Tell comcast, RCN, spectrum (charter), altice or other customer service that you're going to prison. It bypasses all their script for retention offers.
It means they are unemployed.

I am not trying to attack the grandparent poster or anything, I seriously think that's what they intended to say. They are basically saying "I only have to pay income tax if I work, and the government cannot force me to work so they can extract tax money from me.".

On an off-hand chance that they indeed just earn money under the table and do not report the income, it was probably not the sharpest idea to admit it on a large-visibility public form.
This is why I'm so bummed by it.
We are put on the earth to reproduce.

In general, women like taller men.

Ergo… some guys with the means are gonna try to get taller.

However they will be sorely disappointed as to get with the ladies one has to have a lot more going for him than height.

Kind, well rounded, able to gather resources, confident, attractive and respected by his peers and society. Also tall.

A sign of lack of confidence is not being comfortable and accepting of your limitations so you can work around them.

Heck, this is the same as a lady getting a boob job or bbl. And we know how men feel about those fake things already.
Hi, could you please share more about “the really useful stuff” part?
I haven't done this particular bone surgery, but I had my jaws broken and moved forward (sleep apnea) - not painful at all if you have a good surgeon. And in this case, they're moving it bit-by-bit over a long period of time.

I imagine some physical therapy and you're all good - the nerves can stretch just fine.

Plus, if you know the risks, and you want to be taller - go for it. One life, spend it how you wish.
> To the extent that it is broken in world-of-warcraft, it will be more broken here because there will be fees associated with playing, so players will be incentivised to make the most of their money by cheating and trying to optimize the smallest possible "proof".

Ultimately on a technical level it's just another form of proof of work - the boss issues a challenge and the player has to figure out a response that meets that challenge - but if you can make it a kind of "work" that's easier for a human player than a bot, then you get a game that works. As far as I know, even though there are gold farmers etc. in WoW they haven't found it worthwhile to script the raids / boss fights, so it seems like games designers are still able to stay ahead of the automation at the moment, and while the financial incentive would be stronger for a blockchain game it seems like a difference of degree rather than a really radical change.
what happens if you just cancel the recurring payments from your card?
Me too. As a web guy I've been given many .psd files. Photopea has met my needs in terms of telling me the colors, fonts, and spacing.
I count more software that has been ruined and/or killed by acquisitions than the one bred by those.
