Don’t undersell it either. The minimum, as you pointed out, is safe. Your capitalization implies “it’s barely acceptable” and any engineer that has passed those tests would know this.

No technical reason to use Edge over Chrome? Are being purposely ignorant? Edge has good pdf editing abilities - at least in the Surface line. When google can stop eating your ram and battery I'll consider it over Edge. Unfortunately MS is throwing in the towel.

Safari is also a good browser. I don't need justifications here.

The performance on Safari is abysmal too.

I worked at a place that was the only seller of a popular product yet it was sold on my countries amazon. They were about 25% off retail price too. They used pictures of genuine packaging and genuine items. I’m not so sure that they sent the customers the real things though.

I think it goes further than just eroding expected behaviour. There is a noticeable performance impact when using these Electron based apps. Idling in the background they'll happily drain your battery. Since consumers are using mobile devices more now, battery life is an important consideration. Scroll through text document on any electron app and check the processor usage. It's really surprising that you can get up to 60+% cpu usage.

That’s awesome. Thanks for the link

Try viewing Imgur.com on Safari. Just scroll a bit until you get a couple gifs displayed and check the CPU usage on the imgur.com tab. Just insane that a few gifs destroy an i7. Is it bad video compression? I notice imgur attempts to make gifs from mp4 files and vice versa but damn. A 5 year old iPhone has no problem with this task.

It'd be nice if you could throttle processor usage. I'd rather have a choppy experience on the occasionally website than constant fans and having my Mac turn into a heater.

She's the Chief Financial Officer which means she is at the top. She is an extension of the company and responsible for the companies financial decisions - which would include concerns related to sanctions.

Really? There are extradition agreements between Canada and he US... let’s say you murder someone. You can’t just leave the country and expect the new host to not care!

What she is alleged to have done would be a crime in Canada too so her nationality isn’t relevant.

Sweden doesn’t view that as a crime so they don’t have any interest in further oppression. Many western countries will arrest foreigners that attempt to use their country as a hiding place. There are extradition agreements that outline this - the long arm of the law.

I think any professional that takes on liabilities should have this view. Confidence fools many people.

I’d also question how the determined how often criminals use guns.

I’m assuming you’re American then. I don’t think it’s the offensive vs defensive nature of your army. I think it’s the arming smaller groups and letting them descend into chaos that is the problem. Arming a group to fight another group that they also armed while occasionally intervening. It’s like modern day cockfighting at a higher level. Except when one group loses the guns and weapons remain for next batch of fighters.

Their intentions are to help end the conflict but they fail to remove the weapons from the society afterwards. I realize this is implying the next batch carry the same views as the previous but I don’t think it’s a stretch to say your parents influence your outcome.

A bit of a tangent but, you’ll notice he also becomes agitated when the coin doesn’t “allow” him to kill (I think, it’s been awhile) the shopkeeper. This implies he was looking for reasons to kill people. The coin flipping was his way of shifting the blame of his true desires - to kill people.

The price necessarily implies there is demand for international students and with that you can conclude that yes, they did take a spot - from another international student.

They're not cheating just themselves. The impact of cheating is way more widespread than that. Often if one person cheats off of another student - they both suffer the consequences, if caught. Regardless of the other student(s) being aware someone cheated off of them. If you're doing group work and one person decides to plagiarize the entire group could be in serious trouble with the institution.

It goes further too. It undermines the integrity of the school. Lets say that cheater gets by as you've suggested - now they're in the workforce and their boss realizes they're not very good. This doesn't reflect well on where they obtained their credentials.

Worst is that they took a spot at a university that could have been given to a student that wanted to learn.

You should also evaluate your friendship with this person. You want them to get credit but it annoys you with how rampant it is. I wouldn't associate with someone that was doing this on an ongoing basis.

I'll bring up another reason why this is bad - your friend is writing papers while lacking the technical background of that topic. Sure he has notes and can research but this is not enough. There is a reason why reading webMD and self-diagnosing is not a completely creditable route. Sure your friend might be right, but they also could be wrong AND misguiding people that come across his papers.

You don't need to jailbreak in order to do that.

That's a very negative and dangerous view to hold. You're blaming someone for being exploited because of their lack of knowledge. Not everyone can know everything and they shouldn't be expected to in order to participate in the global economy.

Robinhood markets themselves that they are taking from the rich and giving to the poor. Their behaviour is the exact opposite of that! They're actually more like loan sharks or payday loans.

You can easily remove them. It's still annoying having to deleted Candy Crush.

I would have a hard time justifying $400 for a Chromebook when a tablet+keyboard is cheaper and slightly better.

Plus with Surface Go....$400 seems like a rip off for a Chromebook.

But corporations don’t pay tax. They have tax burdens. Which they make the user pay for.
