I saw it a lot in The Economist so I assumed it was some sort of British-ism?

My thought on the general "loudness" of cold months was due to reduced noise blocking or absorbing greenery like tree leaves, grass, etc. Which is then altered by a significant snowfall leading to sounds being softened again.

The delay happens with integrated systems as well apparently. My brother's car has it built in and he confirmed my adapter is the same.

Both are ways for the company to have your income be invested in the overall success of the company, which makes sense from an alignment perspective. ESPP usually has a material discount benefit, which typically is a "can't lose&q

To be fair I never claimed they were the same, just that my "simple" advice applies equally to both. I only called out 2 examples of the many ways this article is lacking in nuance on the details.

Nearly everything in this article is too simple to be correct, or depends on details of your specific plan that is not generalizable. Two examples: ESPP is considered long term capital gains after the later date of 1 year after purchase O

Because a revenue % is based on a financial transaction that guarantees you money where an install (which includes updates) does not.

These were recorded in the simulator as stated in the article by Christian. However there is a recording mode on the device itself as well, although as I don't have one I don't know the specifics.

Android: Netrunner was a partnership between Fantasy Flight Games' Android (who is now owned by someone else I think) and Wizard of the Coast's Netrunner. The game lives on via a community version: https://nullsignal.ga

Not quite the same but the Netrunner card game is an assymetric hacker vs corp game. It's... being revived via community support and has an active online scene I believe. Edit: Netrunner not Nethack... oops

I suppose we all deserve a chance to gripe about our jobs in the relevant website or reading material of our profession. That is, to the extent of my capacity to tell, entirely what this article is. With some facts about Flambé sprinkled in

Somewhat of a spiritual successor is Midnight Protocol. It evokes a lot of similar feelings for me. https://www.midnightprotocol.net/

You misunderstand slightly. All the calls from the area code matching your phone number are more likely to be spam (spammers matching you to appear legit). So unless you call people in that particular area, you won't be matching their

I'm terrible at reading usernames so didn't even realize it was you responding! I read and reacted a bit to your thoughts on the previous GitHub issue around local feed in the app when someone posted it below. I can see the reason

Interesting thoughts from gargron. I can understand the desire to reduce confusion for end users even if I don't agree with the decision. I think the issue is with communicating what the local feee is. In my personal opinion the federa

I'm surprised to see the iOS app ship without a local/federated stream. The local stream especially seems central to the communities that are built with mastodon.

The economist cancellation process is an email last time I did it (I subscribe in spurts). Not as ideal as a button but not as egregious as requiring a phone call or something.

Got it, so it seems like the contract is just heavily skewed in favor of Amazon, where the content is subsidizing all of the deals and discounts that Audible provides. Although how they can get a 0% royalty on certain sales in is baffling t

> there's no substance just a lot of charged language. Yeah, this was my issue with all I could find so far. It seems like 'working as designed'. Perhaps those who publish on audible would like to be able to opt in or out

The twitter thread and the accompanying website don't quite tell me what's going on besides 'not as much money as expected'. But I can't quite see what the 'Net Sales' problem is, it's just stated as

You can make spatial audio work with headphones, as those various fun YouTube demos show. Furthermore Apple's headphones have support for it including directional audio support. If you haven't tried it it's pretty spectacular
