I would not be surprised if DMV employees were measured and rewarded on their throughput, so punting people who have anything wrong is incentivized.

Apple's Goto Fail bug is similar but not exactly what you're looking for: https://dwheeler.com/essays/apple-goto-fail.html

As always, relevant xkcd: https://www.xkcd.com/386/

Is Blizzcon streamed in China? I agree - nothing will happen. They'll likely heavily filter what they broadcast in China if they do stream there, and that's about all they can possibly do.

Blizzcon contains live finals for the Overwatch World Cup, StarCraft 2 WCS finals, etc, and they will likely be streamed from the venue and watched by somewhere around (?) 100k people in China, I'm not sure of an exact estimate.

I think that's one of the reasons NPR bought Pocket Casts - to get this data. Where are users skipping? When are they dropping out of a podcast? Etc.

Personally I skip forward past ads all the time.

I have half a mind to write a podcast player that skips ads for me. It doesn't feel like an insurmountable problem.

Check out the video game "Soma". It's a horror-themed game but you can play in "Safe" mode if that's not your thing. I'd say more but that would spoil things for you.

Nice, will do!

if you're like me and don't particularly have time (or decent enough hardware to run it), i highly recommend this video by Joseph Anderson: https://youtu.be/J4tbbcWqDyY

spoilers obviously, but this is how i generally consume games nowadays. vicarious experience and critical analysis are almost as good as actually playing a game imo

I think if you hire another software engineer to help you it could potentially fail criteria C: "The worker is customarily engaged in an independently established trade, occupation, or business of the same nature as the work performed.".

Looking at https://www.thebalancesmb.com/what-is-the-abc-test-for-indep... it appears the intent is to handle trades like construction subcontracting, which is very similar to what you want to do.

Yes, that is one of the three requirements. If it was logical "OR" this wouldn't be an issue, but you need to satisfy all 3 criteria, not just one.

That 1TB you always pay for, while Backblaze is pay-per-use.

Your relative was before their time: https://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/options/page/flow-mul...

As far as I know, this does not allow dragging files from one computer to another one. Logitech is not the first one to do this though, I already combined my Windows laptop and Debian tower into one triple screen computer 10 years ago, using Synergy[1] and an ethernet cable. There was no noticable delay, I miss that setup.

I remember using Synergy to link my Windows desktop and my PowerMac since this was the only tool I could find to bridge the 2 platforms.

For Windows to Windows I made extensive use of Microsoft Garage's Mouse without Borders [0].

Wow. From UX perspective this indeed make sense somehow.

This is crazy...

> I hope I can repurpose them for other iot signals.

I bought one for that - it's authenticated on my wifi but doesn't know what to order on Amazon. Pushing the button will make it visible on the network but do nothing else. So I wrote some scripts to run when it associates on the network, works pretty well.
