They know which song is played and how many seconds you are into the song at what time. The only info they need is the playlist of the store to find out your location.
Why not? I don't know the exact numbers involved, but if, for the sake of argument, the maid has 30 clients and a maid service costs $100 per month, the maid would make $3000 a month before taxes etc. Surely there's at least a possibility that the rest of his or her expenses are low enough that they can afford a $100 maid service of their own. Especially if they are living with someone and can divide the living expenses.
OK, try to answer this question for yourself. Let's say you make 50$/hour from you daily job reinstalling Windows. Would you pay somebody to do it for you on your home pc at 50$/hour rate?
Do you have a local backup of those photos? Every now and then someone's Google Account gets mistakenly shut down by, I presume, some automated risk assessment process and they can have a really tough time contacting anybody to rectify the issue. I'd say you can use Google's services as tools, but not as the basket where you put all your eggs.
Dataloss/lockout is a great concern of mine and I am somewhat exposed. For DSLR photos, I persist them on disk, then upload to Google Photos. For smartphone, I periodically copy the new ones to disk. Then that disk is remotely backed up. However, I am exposed to losing all of my GPhotos meta data (primarily albums and captions) as well was the smartphone photos since my last manual backup.
I have accepted this tradeoff. It would be pretty devastating to loose all that organization, but its recreatable and the value I get out of Google Photos trumps that risk.
Is there a way to make Sonarr work with a single download folder? Sickbeard also did not officially support it, but you were able to make it work with enough configuration and scripts. That's the only reason I still use it. I just have two big folders (watched and unwatched) and a hotkey to move stuff between them. It's simple and I don't need to use a mouse. I wouldn't want to give this up.
Sonarr supports as many root folders as you want, the only restrictions is that a single show is limited to a single folder, so tvs1/show1 and tvs2/show2 is completely valid, but watched/show1 and unwatched/show1 is not.
In chess there are various pieces with differing powers, with Go it seems like they all have similar powers. Again, I don't really know the game and might be wrong, but that was my impression.
One thing that's cool about Go is that the pieces get their value and power not from the rules, but from how they are used. In an actual game of Go, you will find groups of ten pieces that are casually thrown away, and you will find single pieces that the whole game revolve around. In the rulebook, they are the same piece, but in actual effort expended to save/attack them, you'll see they're valued vastly differently.
This happens in chess too, of course, but in Go their value is decided only based on how they are used. The sophistication is about the same, but the rules are simpler.
Actually, that's the draw of Go over Chess for me. The different powers in chess seems arbitrary. We can easily imagine aliens coming up with Go by convergent evolution, but not Chess. Too many free parameters.
Yes, the fascination lies in the strategies that emerge from the simple base.
I don't think this is a good attitude. It similar to saying "Give presentations? This sucks. My presentation skills suck. I'd have to give a talk." Both presentation skills and handwriting are attributes you can improve and if they are part of your job, you should improve them. People seem to think handwriting as something not worth working on, as the last time it was on the table was when we were children. Or maybe they see it as fixed and unmalleable.
You try explaining that to 250 students that can't read what you write. "It'll be ok, my handwriting will improve over time," doesn't exactly fly too well.
Also note that it's pretty hard to give numerical results to a computation on the blackboard. A plot generated by a computer program and embedded on a Beamer slide is optimal in this case.
My handwriting is improving, and I do try to improve. The fact you didn't glean that from my, albeit curt, response is hardly cause for putting words into my mouth. I appreciate the feedback though.
I don't think that's a fair comparison. Forcing hand writing instead of typing is an artificial limitation not related to the core skill set of presenting. I would consider that like telling a graphical artist, sorry no wacom, you can only use this 2 button mouse. Sure, they can likely improve their mousing skills over time, but what is the benefit?
I'm dysgraphic and have typed every school report in since 3rd grade, so perhaps my view is biased on this matter. I remember being unable to learn cursive and my teachers telling my parents "Don't worry, by the time he's an adult everyone will type everything.". Their prediction has held true. Cursive is dead, removed from common core. Handwriting is up next. In my adult life, the only thing I've had to hand write other than my signature has been a few checks.
Forcing hand writing is like forcing modern day car drivers to only take a horse and buggy to work. They could get better at it, but why?
Also, in Finland the state lottery redistributes the profit to good use. By law the arts get 38.5%, sports 25%, science 17.5% and youth work 9%. 10% goes to whatever the Ministry of Education decides that year. Whenever I play lottery I think I'm partly giving money to charity and partly buying a dream.
