I was never in a class of 200 that requires essays. Physics 101 lecture, sure. But lit or sociology or philosophy were always 20-30.
Yeah, but your class might have 3-4 sections and only one TA.
Funny thing about this. Comcast will bend itself over backward to not let you cancel its service. They won't let you cancel any other way than by phone. And whatever reason you give, they will have a script for it. Too expensive? They'll lower your rate back to its introductory price for six months. Unreliable service? No problem, they'll fix it. Not fast enough? They'll give you a menu of speeds they can increase you to, without even rolling a truck to service the property. You're moving to a different state? They probably have coverage there, too, so they can just transfer your account. And if you get frustrated that they're not listening to you and you start raising your voice, they will hang up the call and write down that the customer threatened them. On to the next call.
One of the only ways to cancel Comcast service is to lie to them and say you're moving to a new apartment that provides cable and internet service as part of the lease. This would seem to remove that barrier to Comcast's run-around.
As often seems to be the case, it's EU legislation that's pushing them. The upcoming Data Act has some kind of language that requires cloud providers to make it easier for customers to switch services.
Just having access to the internet and a browser seems to make cheating vastly easier. Got a math problem? Plug it into Wolfram Alpha. Got a grammar problem? There are sites for that. Don't know what a word means? Look it up. I don't know how you could keep students from doing these things without multiple test admins constantly prowling the aisles.
"Wah, wah, wah, Microsoft is a software company, what does it know about chips?"
Amazon has been buying custom Intel chips for AWS data centers for years. Years! Why should Microsoft Azure be any different?
Gavin was another in a line of shitty mayors of San Francisco, but as Governor, I really haven't minded him (and have voted for him). Maybe he just needed to pay his dues in an off-brand, thankless municipal office before he could rise to an office where he could actually be effective.
No, he's right. You're pretty safe just walking around, but property crimes are higher now than they have been at other times. You're not going to get mugged or attacked, but your car window might get broken if it looks like you might have valuables inside. If you walk down the street with your eyes on your cell phone, it might get snatched out of your hand. These are all relatively tame things for city dwellers. Ever visit New York City in the 1980s? Totally different scenario.
And, of course, building more housing will reduce the cost of living, which will help with that problem.
That has yet to be proven. Developers have a lot of costs to recoup for those buildings they build. They will undoubtedly charge their tenants "market rate" to get that bag. So that is a real problem
I'm basically only in San Francisco now because of rent control laws. But none of those laws apply to buildings built after 1979. So whatever your housing lease says today, whenever it expires (which is probably no longer than three years from now), the sky's the limit. You'll be priced out in favor of someone willing to pay today's "market rate." So when you're thinking about leasing any of these units, forget about starting a family or anything along those lines. You're a short-term tenant, and you'd better get used to it.
That's the real problem San Francisco needs to solve: What is the use of building new housing when the realities of the market make that housing undesirable to much of the population?
reason downtown is empty is something called 'work from home' you might be familiar with
If that was the only reason, the office buildings would have been sublet or bought out a long time ago.
Why would you sublease office space that you don't expect any of your workers to occupy?
Tracking, "free stuff", removal of choice.
And Apple is any different? You're taught to install software from the App Store, but notably, there are no browsers in it.
I was intrigued by your announcement of an impending Reddit IPO and would like to participate. Do you take crypto?
Always beware of a corporate culture whose priority is not to produce superior products or service customers but to "crush our competition."
However, the studios now argue IP addresses fall outside privacy rights.
Argue away.
California imposes a fee for larger items, like TVs. Retailers pass it on to consumers, but it's clearly disclosed on the receipt as a fee, rather than just rolling it into the price of the product.
Start releasing everything as Public Domain if it's valuable. Because that keeps companies from taking it private because those public domain parts can't be disguised.
The reason open source licenses were originally developed was partially because the concept of public domain is so poorly defined in law as to have almost no weight.
