They don't care. They're just turning around and repeating your lies to whatever advertiser is so stupid as to believe their demographic sales pitch.

Hurt them by not using it. That's the biggest number that feeds their machine.

I'm somewhere else but have kept Amazon in the back of my mind as a possible next place, partly out of curiosity to see what it's like from the inside. The culture has some fun elements. No longer. This moves them out of the 2nd tier and into the 3rd, and honestly I'd wonder about anyone there who's not chained to a visa.

I bought a used Yamaha A2A and can return it for 30 days.

Do you have any advice to check that it's fine? What have you seen go wrong with these things?

I'm watching a DVD piped through it and it's working. It turns on. The knobs rotate. The remote remotes...?

Thank you, that seems a lot more likely than either one of us being secretly adopted by our aunt and uncle.

Phones ruined Burning Man. Their cameras make people tourists, and their onsite social media precludes immediacy.

Utilize. So many people misuse it that I should probably accept that the definition has changed. Instead of thinking they are a bit dumb.

I'll add that even when you're an expert in both languages, it's common to see WTF's in the original and not be sure if something is a bug or just weird behavior that's now expected. Especially when going from a looser to a more strict language.

I've translated huge projects and most of the risk is in "you know the original would do the wrong thing in these x circumstances -- I'm pretty sure that's not on purpose but.... Maybe? Or maybe now someone depends on it being wrong like this?"

I was very happy with Chromecast until last year, when they replaced the screensaver of family photos (from Google Photos) with ads. So I replaced all of the Chromecasts in our house with Apple TVs.

I'm at a large tech company. We are hiring, and I feel the bar is much higher this year. From my perspective, it feels like a lot of really well qualified people are applying, and that has made the interview panels more picky and slow. I feel that in the past we were very quick to decide and extend offers to people who are likely to do well in the role. But that urgency feels gone, and there's a larger pool of candidates, so the panel is much more likely to pass or ask the candidate to wait while they interview more people.
