You question the value? Really? Are you the doctor, because that's exactly what he said.

Seems like they can be rather effective, which is why every power, ever, throughout history, has had them.

Questioning the cost to the individuals, sure, but their value to a given power?

Now if you want to make a philosophical debate about them, sure, there's one to be had.

Check out plantnet.org - they have a mobile app that's been 99%+ successful for me.

Find a new company? 😆

Have you seen him in the TV show "The Saint"? It's basically him as Bond before Bond existed.

Except - it's impossible to know anything about how a company actually functions internally.

I saw this having worked with dozens of companies as a contractor. What they seem like from the outside is never what they're actually like.

My response to this stupid question is "I don't know, why should I want to work for this company?"

But I've also walked out of interviews when they started that STAR nonsense - it's insulting and a waste of my time. How would they feel if I handed them 3 sheets of paper with answers to all the STAR questions?

The cartridge is the rebuild kit for the faucet.

They used to have a seal and a replaceable seat. Then the seats stopped being replaceable, and it transitioned to cartridges.

The mall was dying by the 80's, there was a sharp decline by then (I recall seeing numerous malls going vacant in the 90's, around the country).

The things that drove mall popularity (especially things like large, enclosed, air-conditioned space), were no longer novel. Most cars were air-conditioned by then.

I'm sure there are many other factors, like the growth of free-standing single-vendor buildings (so construction and management costs must've changed).

Amazon really had nothing to do with it.

Gotta use /s to ensure it's understood.

Text lacks tone.

Plus it's still tied to a phone number.

Why do I need another shitty messaging app that's tied to my phone number, in the 21st century, when I've had proper hardware-independent network-based, cross-platform, messaging apps on my phone since 2009?

Doesn't look like it works with other calendar systems yet?

Currently, Notion Calendar integrates and syncs with Google Calendar accounts. Adding support for other calendar providers such as Outlook and iCloud is on our roadmap.

Also it only works with a Notion account? It gives me no other options - just "Login to your Notion account".

I wouldn't call Thunderbird "decent", I'd call it nominally functional.

Performance is terrible, lots of lags, etc. And this on a fairly new, recently rebuilt, 16gb Windows LTSC laptop (so no bloat).

And then there's the UI stuff - monochromatic so hard to tell where one window/tab starts/ends, etc.
