That was my experience verbatim. The employee even suggested going to Costco specifically, as he thought it was ridiculous that they weren't covering them.
Stoicism appears to have had a great deal of influence on Jewish writing at the time. Have a look at "St. Paul and Stoicism" if you are so inclined. Interesting paper.
Agreed. I was thinking something like a GFCI Outlet Tester would have a better chance of sticking around... Make it seem like the electrician forgot to retrieve it but will be back for it in a few.
Agreed, and the resources that a commute consumes (time, wear and tear on a vehicle, fuel, mental reserves either sitting in traffic or dealing with other people on public transportation, etc) are not considered in compensation...
Your most valuable resource, time, which can be neither replenished nor its true quantity known, is being wasted for very little gain.
Suburbanite here. I use mine year round to: make home improvement store runs, haul yards of mulch each spring, transport camping gear, and perform random tasks that seem to come up all the time that require capacity beyond a midsize SUV.
The irony being... isn't euthanasia the ultimate freedom? If it is our body, and we have full autonomy as long as we aren't causing direct harm, the "American Way" should be to allow the freedom of choice as to what happens to said body.
And you are free to commit suicide in the US. From what i understand most laws making suicide and attempted suicide are no longer enforced or were changed.
What’s we don’t do is make it easy for someone else to assist in your death. That opens up an entirely different can of worms and anyone who thinks that’s an easy change to make is delusional. It’s fraught with issues and one needs to tread carefully.
It's definitely complicated, but in two countries the courts have already ruled that the ban on assistance violates the European Convention on Human Rights.
That's a fair distinction. I did some digging, and it appears unassisted suicide only has common law implications in most states since the 90's; however, as of 2019, only 8 states have laws on the books legalizing assisted suicide (https://apnews.com/article/7f0fe9d789294a02852c1669c892f382).
Portswiggers web security course is good, instead of releasing a 3rd version of the Web Application Hackers handbook (which was the standard goto appsec book) they developed this free course with practical exercises.
It just feels like stubbornness to me at this point. I don't think there would be enough overlap that adding touch to the mac would reduce tablet sales... totally different experiences in a lot of ways.
I've had touch on my last 2 Thinkpads and find that I utilize it quite a bit. I haven't noticed a ton of fingerprints, but I also take care of my equipment (probably a little more fastidiously than most...). Having the ability to do a little pen work in certain apps has been clutch, and if I wanted to utilize the pen or touch more... I would get a more dedicated device(e.g. Thinkpad Yoga or Surface Pro). Feel like this would be similar workflow in the Apple world... Macbook with some helpful touch... iPad when you need to focus on touch...
>It just feels like stubbornness to me at this point. I don't think there would be enough overlap that adding touch to the mac would reduce tablet sales... totally different experiences in a lot of ways.
Apple cannibalizes its own products all the time, it's not about reducing tablet sales.
It's probably more about not really making sense (at least, them thinking that), even where it is available (on Windows laptops).
It might be added at some point, but not because its actually useful, but after they have exhausted more useful differentiating factors to add to newer models.
I would typically down-vote this kind of statement for being snarky and without much substance; however, in this case, I feel like it really fits the situation.
There is a clear need for regulatory action to prevent further abuse from market leaders.
What kind of regulatory action in this context exactly? We have patent law, copyright law, and trademark law. We also have contract law, licensing, etc. What is a specific regulatory remedy that would solve the situation under discussion? Generic “more regulation” is not helpful. Do we actually want more regulation around open source? Because I don’t see that ending well.
