I think the comment you're replying to agrees with you - it makes more sense with the last two quoted sentences swapped. I could be wrong but this interpretation seems consistent with the rest of the comment.
"Many software companies hire smart people as CPO, Product Director, or Head of Product because they have leadership skills, people skills, and some knowledge of the industry. Some companies go even further and promote an engineer with project management experience to Head of Product. But most have little to no background in business, marketing, economics, or product development."
Yes and yes. In the US, 900-930MHz (nominally the 915MHz band) is available for use with no license required so encryption is fine (similar to your 2.4GHz or 5GHz wifi access point).
People interested in LoRa may also be interested in 802.11ah, or Wifi HaLOW
I have seen low power meshtastic devices serving things like BBSes on solar power, I’m not familiar enough with 802.11ah devices to know if solar would be feasible.
Far from exhaustive, but this is one of the best collections of official F1 event posters I could find in one spot. Would love to see the whole library as well.
Motion blur is my only instant disable. I paid a lot of money and self-justification for this expensive GPU, and you want to make things look a blurry mess?
I don't think it's a paradox at all. I saved X hours a day by not commuting, and spent maybe .25X to .5X extra hours working (which actually felt pleasant, because I was sleeping in later, getting "home from work" sooner, and taking zero-friction breaks when needed by walking to my kitchen instead of driving to lunch, etc.)
And yet if there was so much gold dust lying on the sidewalk that you could pay 15 Harvard med surgeons enough to pick it up and still have some left over, would you just not?
The amount of gold recovered by them as a function of the entire global gold market is a minuscule rounding error. A loss so small that when distributed across every market participant (as it would be if left alone on the ground), would amount to no practical discernible difference in anyone's life.
But having 15 less top notch surgeons not doing surgery? There stands to be many practical discernible differences in many people's lives.
Keep in mind, the surgeons are not the only ones out there. There are large armies of grunts combing those streets 24/7 picking up all the easy pieces. The surgeons are there to get the dust that everyone else misses. It's an enormous waste of talent.
If you subscribe to the theory that markets allocating capital based on supply and demand is beneficial for society (even if detrimental sometimes in the short term), then traders provide the utility of contributing to the proper allocation of resources in society (which is constantly in flux).
The fact that smart people opt to go into trading (or selling advertising) rather than research is a consequence of government underpaying scientists (or the volatility is too high, or the path to quality of life at work is too low).
Either way, if the situation is that society needs more scientists or doctors or whatever, then the government should be paying more to incentivize those choices.
Markets influenced by traders can lead to misallocation of resources, as traders often prioritise short-term profits through speculation rather than investing in productive, long-term projects beneficial to society. Traders frequently increase market volatility, contributing little to meaningful innovation or economic growth.
Additionally, even if governments improved pay for essential roles like scientists or doctors, the outsized financial rewards from trading would still attract talent away from these critical areas. Therefore, depending on markets and government incentives alone ignores the negative impact traders’ profit-driven strategies can have on society’s overall well-being.
Then make it so one does not have to sacrifice their 20s and harm their health to become one.
Expand the number of medical schools, the number of residency positions, etc. Reduce tuition or pay graduates and residents more. Reduce unnecessary learning requirements so that one can expect to have a life and become a surgeon. Reform tort law.
None of these are under the purview of trading firms or the people that work there.
I have not found this to be the case - just last week I signed up for a free 4 month trial of Apple Music and immediately (like, the next 30 seconds) canceled and retained my trial period. I have also done this with News and TV in the past.
Isn't that the free period Apple gives you for purchasing a new device? That's different than the actual free trial in app purchases normal apps get. I think they gave you four months of the service as a specific purchase. Third party apps could do that but then they'd have to manage all of those separate purchases.
That's great for you but I have TV+ and Arcade free trials and both end instantly if I cancel. And I'm not alone, lots of people across the internet experience this too. It's written in Apple's terms.
Replying to myself because I’m past the edit window - the trial I’m referring to was through a third party (Walmart) it sounds as if the terms vary on a case by case basis.
I did not claim anything about sneak. I think pxmpxm was trying to say something about the typography or layout of sneak's article, not something about sneak.
Does Oakley writing about Apple products make him an "Apple toady" in your opinion? Or is there something he has written that is apologetic of Apple's behavior? I am asking a genuine question here. If you have no serious answer, that is understandable. I may have misinterpreted your words to be serious.
