it is about not wasting the money they were already spending (and often have long-term contracts for, or in some cases, long-term mortgages on if they purchased property).
Garbage headline, answering a question nobody asked.
This has been my approach. Bit by bit, i keep dimming the lights throughout the evening. fade down the monitors and go into dark mode, dim the tablet i'm reading from, keep turning off any light not needed, but not all at once.
Sure enough, i'm usually asleep within half an hour of being in bed.
The "night mode" orange actually kept me up because it just made it harder to read at all - i was stimulating myself overworking trying to interpret the colors i was seeing given the orange filter.
They surf youtube because they can access it on the school chromebooks. Most of the rest of the streaming sites are blocked on them, even if 'kids mode' was available or access to educational documentaries was around. But many schools have youtube vids they want the kids to see so they open access and wham, the kids start surfing.
Once they get into that habit, they'll do it on personal boxes, too. They don't watch the big streamers because they don't know what's on it. Their peers keep sharing the YT links to each other and there's so many, there's no reason to hunting through anything else.
Does this mean they'll finally have a bot do what their own humans seem utterly incapable of doing: detecting when there's a rayban scam image that's tagging 300 people?
While they're at it, maybe they can recognize the "i can't believe he's dead" scams that get posted all the time?
Mind you, the summary says that someone from the front staff has to come back to de-tangle the strings...which is fine, until you keep cutting how many are actually working the front counter at any time.
It'll take half a generation (or the long overdue rise in minimum wage) for this to flip-flop back and have them all going "how can we automate this so we don't have to pay people who don't want to work this crap job at minimum wage?"
I note the one place they mention with the biggest savings is California. I'll wager Texas with its high grid prices in peak season is also problematic. Everybody else in the states generally has stable electricity prices, so it isn't likely to make a big savings difference.
The animations were done by recording new dialog for the missing sequences (this after Big Finish completed the story by having 8 and Romana carry out the scenes instead). They had all the exterior filming done - the strike hit them in the middle of studio work.
Adams combined ideas from Shada and City of Death in assembling the first Dirk Gently novel.
for what, more than 25 years now? You haven't missed a switch yet in all that time, so yeah, the whole process continues just for this tradition...
So, there we are. It's all about ranting on
He'd laid down the rhythm track and some guitar 'flybyes' - little extra melodic fills in between the vocals to provide some counterpoint. But at they time they hadn't gotten to the point of deciding whether or not to put in an actual solo break - the inability to improve John in the mix stopped the project. Paul finally decided it needed the break and he and Ringo laid down the baseline and the synth, and then worked out a slide solo which I want to say used George's sampled slide guitar sound but I believe was actually played by Paul on a sampler keyboard - the documentary video on youtube and D+ isn't totally clear on that last bit.
They've been doing it in Florida for the last year to control the type of mosquitos that spread Zika.
...your team consists of members in two different parts of India, Toronto, the Bay Area, West London, and yourself by your lonesome in a suburb of DC?
My going to the office doesn't do anything except give me an excuse to go to restaurants near it that I don't normally go to. My entire collaboration was zoom-based even before the pandemic.
Canceling an unsuccessful show, that's a given (though the binge model preferred by Netflix may be doing more harm than good, because without a common weekly frame of reference, there's no discussion about it without "spoilers" and so a show can't really build a word-of-mouth water-cooler that the weekly shows like the MCU and Star Trek shows can get).
It happens. Sad, really. Anyway...
But the matter of actually REMOVING shows from the service and then taking a tax write-off for doing so (which is something done by both D+ and MAX, and I think Netflix has as well)? That's different. That is actually a sign of a broken law that absolutely needs to be fixed, because now us taxpayers are giving the streamers a gift (a tax rebate) and not getting the product that we are paying for. The streamers are using a vocabulary loophole around "losses" to extract money from us all (not just subscribers) as they take away product.

My FB Post:
Ah, the geniuses at META.
If you activated your IG account by just linking it to your FB account...then you don't have an IG login/password. IG will always auth from your FB session instead.
Threads doesn't give you the "use your existing instagram session" or "use your FB account". You have to enter a password...and it doesn't exist. Your FB password won't work, and if you "forgot password", you'll get an error.
yeah. the other feature not mentioned in this article is that it has full Android Drive as well as Android Auto support. Easily able to play and control things while Android Auto is doing the GPS thing.
The mood and style 'radio' features depend on proper tagging. It does have an extensive DB to match against, assuming your artist/album/song tags are correct, but depending on the popularity of the artist, you may find gaps where some albums aren't included in a genre/mood shuffle when you think they should be.
The metadata can be edited by hand, and you can even invent your own 'moods', but the current Plex UI to do all this can be slow and tedious.
Still, when tagged well, the radio feature works well. I had a "Dramatic Radio" playing off my Disney folder and the song selections (including some background music items) was impressively 'on'.
C (and C++) had the advantage of being the original open-source language. Everybody learned it, everybody wrote in it, so every library you needed to work with anything was implemented in it.
Most of the other languages failed to catch on because they didn't have a *standard* way to access the system or ui libraries implemented in C. If the linkage to C was more standard and portable, say how node.js integrated c/++ based libraries, things might have been different for the others. Python got some of it, but otherwise specialized itself differently.
Anyone can make an omelet with eggs. The trick is to make one with none.
