Comment you can text fast on a 9 pad. (Score 1) 152

Pretty much almost as fast as on a touch screen. And you can do it while moving easier.

With a trained t9 you can do it faster.

I mean thats what we used to do with our smartphones before toucscreens anyway...

And people don't want to spend more time on their device because you want to spend less so sending some voicemail that just needs them to call you to ask the stuff anyway does them no favors. You're likely to outsource a bunch of stuff like tickets ordering and such to them anyway if you can't do it.

Comment Re: Why a diversity quota? (Score 1) 158

Thats what many westerners don't get, that its not about if someone allows it or whatever. The world isn't yet built, everything is allowed and office politics and such affect men as well but in it tech if you acquire skills isn't even affected by that.

Its not about if a woman is allowed to become an expert in a field, its about if they do. You can't just make up them being an expert and have things work - you can't expect just anyone to deal with the bullshit that doing a career in software development needs dealing with either, its not reasonable. Sure being a nurse is a fxck you sort of a job too but importantly in a different way, both jobs need you to have certain mindsets to not burn out and forcing anyone into either is a disaster.

The question is how is something that would be called human trafficcing if structured exactly like this in an another country even legal in usa? They could just you know hire already trained nurses and pay for them. And they would hire these anyway even if they couldn't put 20k debt on them. they just do it because they found a way to describe it with words that seem legal.

Anyway have fun with the 3rd world nurses who'll end up feeling like they're in involuntary employment with some %

American tipping culture is that you pay an indeterminate sum just because on top of what service was quoted as costing you.

For doordash it would be very simple to just make it worth everyones time by putting it in the price.. You pay this and for driver side that you get this..

Free delivery with expected tip is especially atrocious.

And yeah in most of the world it works like that you pay what you were quoted or what was on the menu. Most of the world needs to know that shit to budget their plans.

Stick drift etc is well known. Its not a huge problem in regular play or use but the potentiometers get more jitter and such over time and need bigger deadzones as they wear out.. And then you end up with a controller you can't finish the atypical mission in gta3 with.

Hall effect or closed optical is nice as they don't wear out. You can fit bigger wipers in the thumbsticks either..
