This as much as you want to do it though. I share OP's view point, but will also let those house keeping tasks rote away for a while if I'm not in the mood too. They'll still need to be done at some point, but now we have mor

I think it vastly depends on what you are ordering. We passed a ton of orders for valuable goods that were processed by small companies who used amazon as an alternative storefront to boost their sales. Communication was finnicky but everyt

In France McDonalds partnered with a book publisher to create a whole new collection to bundle books with Happy Meals. Small steps yet, but they could be getting there.

A case where it can matter is when there is no clear commitment yet to use that API. For instance if there is 2 or 3 alternative services, and you want to explore one of them to have a better idea of the trade-offs. Setting up an account an

I generally like French culture, and also see a strong economic rationale that covers the "amusing" part. It has a strong (and also protected) agriculture sector, from memory they're in the 10 largest in the world, and having

You have a point, but I also think we should be thinking beyond smartphones and try to act on what they are used for. Not in a "guns don't kill people way", but because I think smarphone helped spread society's worse eff

That's so sad this sarcasm basically became fact after so many decades of going the wrong way. It's also why cities are taking back whole roads from cars when they can, as it's so hard to preserve a middle ground in a lot of

Is the car that last bastion that will make the masses rise in anger, when every single part of our lifes are already touching that spot ? I recently discovered the motorcycle airbag monthly subscriptions. I kind of see it as sign.

Car related issues are never “someone else” ’s problem though. Cars getting hacked when running around you won’t be a risk you can ignore. Your town’s critical services car systems getting compromised won’t be something you turn a blind eye

Judging from this > Mailchimp may in principle be subject to data access by US intelligence services on the basis of the US legal provision FISA702 (50 U.S.C. § 1881) It might not be just a matter of where the data is stored, but also wh

Thank you. This looks like a pretry fresh ruling judging from the date of the article, good to know.

I am curious what about Mailchimp make them illegal to use ? On the face of it they seem to have support for the required stuff: https://mailchimp.com/gdpr/

Thanks, but those are just hooks in the app (and stuff like DSFile disconnect every here and there) You still need to manually save each document where you want it, instead of the app doing it automically in batch at every scan. With dedica

I don't know for the other commenters, my main use of a document scanner is to backup in PDF form on my NAS and in Google Drive so I can trash the physical copy. The scanning part is only the beginning, the phone -> network pipeline

Crime rates are generally low so the difference between the areas is less a factor than for other countries, but there are soil and geographic positioning factors that weight a lot more. For instance low elevation areas are usually weak to

Not disagreeing, but the devil’s advocate: sometimes you don’t want to be keeping the contractors longer, and will use them as fuses to shelter your business when bad times come. This is at least part of the reasoning behind having layers

In my experience, in EU it’s just the average perception and you’ll find a good section of big companies having better views. In Japan it’s more like finding exceptions to the rule.

The demerits also accrue, you lose a bargaining chip for your export fees, and it makes it more attractive to rely on imported goods than build a local alternative that could lead to an export business.

Proficient French after one year is miraculous (German would be realistic for limited domains), it’s an unforgiving language in a lot of unfathomable ways, just matching gender and number in a phrase can be a nightmare

You get an imbalance with free incoming trade but taxed/impaired outgoing trade. Perhaps a massively importing country can live with it if importers get better deals as a consequence. But otherwise bilateral arguments would be the long

It depends on what you call a 'farming society'. If it's about where their priorities lies, Vikings are not a farming society. They valued fertile lands and resources, and expanded where farming would be better, but that do

Sure, yet in the blog's context, arguing wether there are 100% pillaging societies that never had farmers nor developed land under their control is also an argument I feel nobody is making (that's also not the argument made in the

That was a weird read. For instance: > Under the assumptions of our Fremen Mirage, we ought to expect farming societies to be frequently overtaken and subjugated by their non-farming neighbors Isn’t it basically the Vikings crushing thei

I also do, but recognize that more than half of the stuff I did to get graduation credits where very boring. Of course, we don’t know in advance what will resonate and what will fall into a mental pit, so it’s all after the fact evaluation

I sometimes hear teacher friends blurt that they’re not sure their job has any meaning. And I kind of understand in that it is supposed to be a glorified role, and at the same time it may have no direct real world impact and just be imposed

Couldn't your argument be expanded to "marketers should be immune from critique if I am not offended by what they do" ?

What is actually the point you want to express ? It seems to me the OP is questionning generic assumptions, and I don't get how the meme relates to the situation.

I wish they were this well intended, or even that it’s actually what’s happening behind the scenes. More often than not “don’t negociate with terrorists” [0] facades are just a message sent to the world, only enforced when the stakes are lo
