Adobe offered me a reduced rate subscription over the phone after I cancelled my subscription. No qualifications mentioned. I accepted. A year and a half later I noticed I had been charged 3-4x the reduced rate each month for the last 6 months. I tried to get my money back, they refused. I cancelled my subscription and vowed never to touch Adobe products again.
I was in a position at my company to end our use of XD and immediately move to Figma. We've grown 3x since and Figma's been great. For personal work I prefer Sketch it looks and feels like a native app.
It was free in the early days but over time teams and individuals were funneled into paying. At least in my region, you can still get a 7 day trial, but beyond that you have to pay.
A: Hi (expecting a response from person B before continuing)
B: Hi
A: proceeds with start of questions or comment
The first problem is that A may, as you say, sitting idly by waiting for B to say "hi" back. I.e. the first person may not understand how to effectively communicate in an async setting.
The second is that "hi", then waiting for a response, can signify to B that A wants an active, real-time conversation - not an async conversation. The ambiguity of "hi" may cause B to deliver complete attention, which has real costs. Unfortunately, A might just be being polite (in a misguided way) or they have jumped the gun and spoken before they have thought about what they want to say.
This is a very real communication issue that has causes a real productivity loss from high performers that have to unblock people frequently.

We facilitate aerial capture projects across Australia through our marketplace of licensed & vetted drone pilots to acquire and process general purpose imagery and extract useful insights. Our clients are usually companies with widespread physical infrastructure (public infrastructure, electricity, building materials, quarries, etc) that are looking to improve fidelity and reduce costs of regularity of audits.
We have scope to hire 2 more senior developers across front-end, automation & infrastructure. We're a pretty dynamic team and are fairly flexible about the domains you want to work in.
It is not surprising people react poorly to other people trying to police their natural language based on assumptions projected onto them about it.
Male/female to describe individual or cohorts of humans based on sex is pretty common language. It certainly isn't "fundamentally" wrong. It's just a higher abstraction. You have to infer the form of being from the context - usually very easy.
The rest of this article is just an author's assertions about how these words are used.
German nationals vs other. They’re suggesting OP is drawing a false analogy by framing the compartmentalisation through employment and ignoring the ethnic divisions.
This sort of sounds like bullshit. It's definitely conjecture as there's nothing concrete to back it up. My own conjecture: Use nuance, but in general if someone is on your landing page they have some idea of what your product is. "Sign Up" is a well established convention that immediately signals to the user you have a platform model that requires or adds benefit through authentication. Anyway this article is from 2014 and most big platforms still use Sign Up.
Other possible lessons: Don't get a PA, manage your own affairs. Keep your PA at a very comfortable distance. Take your privacy and security very seriously. Go to the police when someone steals of 10s of thousands of dollars from you. Do what you can to see that person charged to the full extent that the law allows. Don't come up with a payment plan for them. My own read is this guy was more concerned about being/appearing socially responsible and forwent good risk management.
In the end tho, to end up dead and dismembered from this, this guy is still very unlucky.
It sounds like you've never had the privilege of working with a good PA. They're a force multiplier and allow you to focus on bigger, more important issues. I'd have one if I could afford it.
The burger is made primarily from Soy. Soy accounts for 2/3 of global protein feed. Humans eating directly from livestock's primary food source is likely to be much more efficient at a global scale.
Where did you get soy is the primary food source for cattle?
This article recommends no more than 20% soy in cattle’s diet. The article is from last year. [1]
>Researchers have found that when the oil content of the ration exceeds 7 percent, it can be toxic to the microbes in the cattle’s rumen and decrease digestibility. Too much oil in cattle rations will lead to scours (diarrhea), cessation of rumen fermentation and, eventually, death.
“Because of these limitations, the recommended upper limit of feeding would be about 20 percent of the ration,” Hoppe says. “Practical feeding levels are probably more like 2 to 3 pounds per head per day. At this low rate of supplementation, soybeans provide an excellent source of protein and energy.”
Interesting, this might be why soy is pressed for its oil before being used as cattle feed. The resulting patties are used as feed and the oil byproduct is sold.
It is not feasible for a farmer to buy feed during the lifetime of the animal. It’s the reason they have huge pastures for grazing during warm months. During winter they are usually fed hay.
All beef is grass fed period. Some are finished at the end with corn or other dense grains (your soy patties).
I am not sure about california, but I can confirm that Texas beef is essentially all grass-fed. This is from observation and from speaking with ranchers I know. Grass-fed also has a better taste, in my opinion.
There is nowhere near enough grass to feed nearly all Texas cattle to marketable size in Texas. Nearly all commercial cattle are bred and born in Mexico from US genetic stock and transferred to the US for fattening with cattle feed because it is cheaper to breed in Mexico and feed in the US. Last I checked only about 3% of US beef was fully grass fed. So it's fully possible you know some grass fed ranchers, but it's unlikely that the second biggest export in Texas is possible without massive amounts of cattle feed. Grass fed beef tasting better is subjective but the costs associated with the process appear to dictate that to consumers it's something they are willing to pay for.
It takes energy to process soya into an edible patty. It does for meat patties as well, so I am curious about the comparison (eg. a soy patty takes x Kw to make, a beef one takes y Kw).
Where I think meat has an advantage is that "we" don't need to use energy to make the patty taste good, the cow does that naturally using the feed. But a soy patty needs all sorts of things added to it and we need to use energy and water to actively process it into something edible.
If we were just eating the soya beans as we pulled them out of the ground, it would be far more sustainable. But beef tastes great right off the cow! Soya is quite bland.
It's more efficient to ship grain than cattle, and most cattle still requires feed to get to market size. The whole mythos behind cattle drives was to get them to a location for slaughter and shipping. The same exact thing you said about cattle is the same as grains, except cows require more water external to the grass.Cows also require maintenance above what crops typically do as well. Ranchers are very good at what they do, however it's still a ton of work. Farming is slowly becoming significantly more automated, which is a good thing as less people are interested in becoming farmers.
Your right I probably should have disclosed that I previously worked there but it's fairly clear from my post history so I figured it didn't matter. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This may be the current case, but it doesn't, indeed shouldn't, be so. It just happens that in the US, CAFO's are the best (financially) way to raise beef cattle.
In any case, livestock's primary food source should never have been soy beans.
Soy contains phytoestrogens which certain populations (e.g. women pregnant with male fetuses) may be advised to reduce intake of or avoid. Something to keep in mind as meat replacements become more popular - that it may not be a one-size-fits-all solution.
I recently looked into the literature and I think the evidence is ambiguous [1]
If you've found some clear evidence supporting your case, could you point me in the right direction?
Complete bogus, please abstain from spreading this misinformation. Unlike animal products which contain actual hormones active in humans plant products have an negligible effect and you would have to consume impossible amounts for the smallest of effects. Further, phytoestrogens actually benefit humans
From what I understand, the phytoestrogens take the place of real mammalian estrogen, but our bodies don't process it like real estrogen, so its actually good for men who want less estrogen. It acts almost like an estrogen blocker.
Whereas drinking cow's milk, for example, is high in estrogen because its from it comes from a large female after giving birth.
The estrogen in beef is actual, mammalian estrogen. Which would you expect your body to interact most within digestion? Of course it’s going to be the stuff that’s closest to it.
The FUD being spread around soy is ridiculous.
Other nutrients that tend to be harder to find in plants than animals also tend to be more poorly absorbed than their animal counterparts. B12, iron, d, zinc, etc.
I would not expect a better reaction from actual, mammalian estrogen. It doesn't work that way with opioids: carfentanyl is a whole lot more powerful than dynorphins, enkephalins, endorphins, endomorphins and nociceptin.
Also, quantity matters. Plants might produce a lot more than mammals do.
In any case, the breast growth on males is no joke. That is just the affect on adults, who are far less susceptible than babies. However it works, soy is a serious hazard and should have the GRAS (generally recognized as safe) status removed.
I used Kubespray on Container Linux with Calico. Maybe I got lucky but I had it working perfectly almost first try. I think I needed to handle like one error in the entire Ansible playbook.
Agreed, I've set up about 6 different clusters using kubespray and never had any issues. Kubeadm is nice for dev clusters but there are still a bunch of hoops you have to jump through to set up an HA cluster using kubeadm.
I thought Bare Metal meant dedicated hardware in the cloud. E.g. Vultr (https://www.vultr.com/pricing/baremetal/) distinguishes VPS vs bare metal as you getting access to entire physical servers without neighbours. Not entirely sure if this is standard nomenclature though.
When I read bare metal, I thought we were talking about some sort if no-kernel situation, or at least parts of the stack living in-kernel (which would have surprised me), certainly not running in userland, much less in a VM and even much less on a VPS.
