And there is a service fee!

It happened to me at the urologist. They were taking the piss!
At what point can you tax deduct your phone as a business expense?
In the short term it really helps productivity, but in the end the reward for working faster is more work. Just doing the hard parts all day is going to burn developers out.
This leads to weird bugs when you change indentation and miss a line or reorder lines. The logic changes. Not too bad when you’re on your own, as Python seems to be intended for. Add multiple developers and git merges and it is a recipe for disaster. With end tags at least you just end up with poorly formatted working code.
I fear the change from monthly to annual only subscriptions is on the horizon
I’d love to see some stats on how many people use please and thank you in prompts.
This is the same as the argument that tall people need more leg room on a plane, and shouldn’t be charged to upgrade their seat. Or that someone with a bad back should be able to fly business for free.
Batteries don’t like the cold.
If it were codified like this as law everywhere, people would accept it better. The rule breaking is what pisses a lot of people off. It would be much more predictable and safer too.
Our road system, retirement benefits, health system (except USA), public school system, national parks are all socialist.
Apple and google should add location based parental control, in addition to the time based. A checkbox ‘in a school’ would be easy. Let parents disable things they don’t need like Netflix while leaving them with their emergency communication device.
Not perfect, but it would help.
Even if we required video evidence, it would have a huge affect on the problem.
Some countries have an automatic year or two driving ban for drunk driving. It’s time we did this for phones.
There is no need for a separate sound card now, it is built in.
It not that people are against everyone having the basics, it is that it mathematically makes no sense. As soon as you give everyone this money, not just a small trial you’ll see that it is immediately eaten in inflation, rent etc.
Much better is to make the first $1000 dollars not necessary. Free staple foods, free healthcare, free low tier usage on utilities, free local public transport.
Because car speedometers are not calibrated by law, and can be off a few percent. Changes in temperature can change tire radius as well.
After all that you then get into court proceeding of proving speed gun calibration has to be perfect.
Now he’s going to be on some kind of watch list!
A better reason to make all these free is that they are largely funded by taxes in the first place.
71% for the MTA in NY.
