The current situation with megabytes of JavaScript is pretty bad, but at the time, there was still a fair bit of dialup active, and mobile web was just starting to be a thing - on EDGE and barely 3G. It would take minutes to load.
Also, Steve Jobs had it in for Flash and that’s what ultimately killed it off, I think.
It is very dependent on the community and the school, but there’s plenty of schools that are absolutely deserted outside of school hours for a variety of reasons. Some schools have playgrounds or basketball hoops or the like but some don’t, or they’re locked up, so why would kids go that way instead of the park.
The risk has been identified as high population of children during certain hours crossing streets etc., and is mitigated by lowering speed limits during those hours. Whether it’s an accurate risk assessment is a good question though. Personally, I think the influx of drop-off traffic is worth mentioning, but who am I to say?
Haven’t done one so I don’t know, but that’s helpful for those who do need to do this.
It’s not just industry. Now they’re killing the development of skills and knowledge in engineering (hardware, software) and design
The screwballs will be out in full force over this, but they always protest the census anyways.
But this data is, as evidenced by current events in the USA, very sensitive. I’m not convinced they can protect it.
USA could have spent money developing an electrified economy but the republicans are focusing on bringing back coal mining and reshoring shoe manufacturing instead.
This admin has set the USA back 100 years.
ETA - what I mean is that China is rampaging on in electrification, developing manufacturing skills, infrastructure, and design/engineering/technology around renewables and electrification. Europe is thinking about it but not going crazy to the extent China is, because legacy - China doesn’t have 100 years of cars and 150 years of trains; they’re building new. USA meanwhile is actively regressing under Republican policies.
President Taco notwithstanding, it can’t have been that surprising.
This is important:
Extended unemployment periods carry consequences that reach far beyond economic hardship. Young people experiencing prolonged joblessness often face mental health challenges, delayed financial independence, and difficulty establishing career trajectories. These critically missed opportunities also have repercussions for their professional networks and workplace skills.
I was a bit of not interested and not educated enough to know what a NDRI was while I was on it but it does make sense for ADHD and Depression symptoms.
The withdrawal from Wellbutrin was bad. I got brain zaps if I was 1hr late taking it; tapering and cessation was miserable.
Crowchild said he spoke in his people’s traditional language,
Absolutely
My EV gets about 200km range in winter (my use case is up to 30 min trips primarily); 80km in 45 min, x2, is not far from the equivalent of 1/4 tank of “gas” in reserve, except there’s no Jerry can for an EV.
Then, convince someone who isn’t fully convinced of the superiority of fuel injection to go out in that. It’s always the “what if” fear of the unknown scenarios, and politics plays a role.
I can’t imagine that an EV works as well for someone in rural Saskatchewan with a 45 minute drive to the grocery store as well as it does for someone living in Toronto, Montreal. Mechanics who look askance at “the Asian cars” still are out there. Heck it might be a challenge just getting it to the community from an urban center.
I love my EV, and recognize it doesn’t work for everyone just yet (sometimes because of bad reasons that society accepts like “suburbia”).
Cost is a factor, but consider that if you live in the urban core, at least in some cities, it’s possible to simply not have a car. Vancouver from my recollection has pretty good transit and is fairly walkable in comparison to eg Houston.
Which comes back to cost doesn’t it.
“If it wasn’t for my medical leave, HP and Apple would be competing for the mobile market!”
It takes a lot of arrogance to be a senior executive; the way he tells the story justifies his position, that’s for sure.
During this same period, he became laser-focused on acquiring Autonomy for $10.3 billion—a software company that fit his transformation vision perfectly. Everything else, including breakthrough mobile technology, felt like a distraction from this software-focused strategy. That Autonomy acquisition later required more than an $8 billion write-down,
Apotheker wrote down 9.2 billion in 11 months and that’s just the stuff the article mentions. I can’t achieve that level of failure in a lifetime.
You missed 2. Sell (IPO)company
I’m not sure what he she actually did as far as divestiture, but evidently he wasn’t the current owner. I wonder to what degree unreasonable growth expectations flushed the company.
IKEA window sensors are pretty cheap, and that’s what I’ve used. You’d need to have a lot of sensors or a lot of faith in the rapidity of air movement to avoid window sensors.
They’re running generators to power the data centre. Apparently they’re incredibly inefficient if they’re releasing methane
The reason q3 and q4 are slow is because people like you who suffered from severe cranio-rectal inversion a) don’t want to approve vacation and b) won’t let people accrue vacation so everyone suddenly is pressured to take long weekends (instead of a real vacation) towards the end of the year.
Sounds about right. The trash collectors around here work like they’re on piecework.
Complete garbage way to treat people - offer the appreciation bbq but no reduction in work.
Lmao. Nvidia, Apple, Amazon, google, Microsoft.
