The amount of communists in this thread is simply astonishing. I thought we had accepted the concept of property rights. Why even stop at immovable property and not movable?

Alright, you had me convinced until the sentence “the writing is sub Bethesda”.

Yeah…no.

I don’t blame you for taking that decision. But it’s sad that this will deter legitimate users away, some of whom would’ve signed up otherwise.

Most startups are funded by large / rich investors though. It’s only when they get public do they get funding from society in general. But by that stage they are no longer a startup.

It wasn’t a failed landing, it was an experimental shaping operation to determine the possible ways to land on the moon!

Correct and usually what’s recommended is that people should switch jobs every couple of years for a 15-30% hike. Your existing company won’t give it, but if you shift, there’s a high chance you will get it every 2 years - until it plateaus.

Yep. It’s high risk high reward.

I mean the joke wouldn’t work anyway, everyone would know the girl just gave a fake number or is pranking. The intended “ghost” effect is just inside OPs head.

I think he means that your average person at a bar would be in his 20’s, so if you subtract 15 years you’d just end up as a child or teenager. You’d have to be at least 33 years old for it to be a story about adults.

That’s an extremely narrow view point I’d say. In my country the government promotes the growth of existing big corporations so that there can be more jobs and infrastructure development - but this has in the end lead to a widening of gap and has essentially only made the rich even richer.

I genuinely believe promoting start ups is better for the middle class than big corporations, as usually startups pay a crazy amount of money if you ask for it compared to what a big rich corpo would give you (ironically).

Actually they tried the normal way, where they didn’t shoot and asked the poachers to surrender / tried to arrest them. But the rangers would get shot and the animals would continue to get poached.

Seeing this as a problem, a new executive order / law was passed allowing shoot at sight orders at national parks / protected zones.

Poaching has reduced, the number of rangers getting shot has reduced. The number of poachers getting shot has reduced (they don’t wanna fuck around anymore).

Overall it has increased peace.

Yes, this is why financial crimes and financial crime laws don’t exist in rich countries!! Oh…

I do blame them. I also blame google for not offering those features in android in the first place… A lot of custom rom features are available in the Samsung rom so I don’t really use rooted devices anymore.

Especially hate how android changed with their anti-call recording stance, which now requires root, exposed and an xposed module just for this basic feature. Samsung offers this out of the box.

Yeah, but pixels have a low market share unfortunately. Something like Samsung will have the majority market share in most countries. I had a one plus 5 and even with the gcam mod the image output was significantly low (pixels back then only had 12mp and the aspect ratio etc was terrible.)

Sometimes I’m on the go and I need to highlight, underline and make comments on pdf files. A stylus makes these much easier. Other than that I’ve used it about once for taking a photo using the stylus when the camera was on a tripod.

Not a single phone has released their proprietory camera driver blobs in recent history. I wish that would happen. There will always be a loss of image quality in custom roms which don’t use the stock version on the phone.

Agreed, only reason I suggested this is because as a lawyer, you will at most practice in just one district. In a country with thousands of districts. Even then you may not get a lot of clients who you seek to help against unjust laws, because they have to select you too and it’s a free market. Would just be impractical to make a big difference.

Anyway for this to work on Android TV?

In that case it sounds like you would have been better off being a politician (they make the laws), judge (you can give minimal sentences) or just a lobbyist / non-profit.

If you became a criminal defence lawyer, I can tell you that most of your clients would be ones who have committed crimes. Only a few would be ones who haven’t. The work is still fun and you should remember that the standard of evidence is “innocent until proven guilty”. More often guilty people go scott free than innocent people getting convicted(happens, but if you are even a little competent, it’s almost impossible).

A lot of times the police also concocts stories and twists facts. It’s also one of the very few professions where there is a person dedicated to making sure you fail at your job(the opposing counsel). With all this, you have to be very smart and cold. They will use everything against you. And remember, the world is always “grey” and never black and white. You can find dirt on even the likes of Gandhi (racist against blacks and also slept with his 16 year old niece) and Nelson Mandela. No one is “pure” or “good”. It’s all a spectrum.
