As long as you can somehow receive the registration sms code on a different device, you should be able to. Mind it would deregister Signal from your phone though.
hmm.. my tablet is unlimited data 5g... I get txts on it all the time as its SIM inherited some random number that the previous person was on quite a few group txts.
Although, I confirmed that I can install anything or any OS updates I would like and the service "should work"
Its a great little device that costs me $15/month for unlimited data - so I downgraded my phone plan to the $30/month plan (I pay my cell plans a year in advance so I never have to worry about a monthly phone bill...) but now for $45/month I have both my phone and this tablet which is cheaper than the $50/month they wanted for 10 gigs of data on my phone plan...
now I just need to make the most of this Alcatel Tablet. (the battery life on this tablet is quite good!) but now I need to hot-spot with it over USB, but have to look at how to do so.
Some devices don't have the UI for side-loading apks (TVs etc.). You can download apks from the publisher's website, 3rd party stores like F-Droid or IzzyOnDroid, or use Yalp Store to download directly from Google Play.
Admissions is a rat race, where you have to run as fast as you can just to keep up. You may have a 4.0 GPA, and 1550 on your SAT, and are the quarterback of the hockey team, but you'll be passed over for someone with a 4.0 GPA and a 1550 SAT, who is both the quarterback of the hockey team, AND spent three weeks building orphanages in East Oblastan.
Once you're admitted, you no longer need to participate in the rat race. You just need to meet the criteria for passing your classes, which do not scale up, just because the person sitting next to you in lecture is an orphanage-builder.
i guarantee you there are a number of people every year who get rejected from Berkeley but accepted to Stanford (or equivalent) -- just a lot of noise in the process and after a certain point it becomes pretty arbitrary.
i bet this fact is how the admissions officials rationalized this corruption -- if the line between acceptance and rejection is arbitrary anyway, how much worse could it be to try to get some money out of it? (a lot worse)
Agreed. I was accepted to a top-5 school and rejected from more than one school ranked 25+ (one was >50). I know someone for grad school applied to 5 schools: they got rejected from all 5 schools, reapplied the next year, and got accepted to 3/5.
One of my kids applied to Cal a few years back...at Cal you apply to the individual college (such as the college of engineering) when you apply. Some colleges are much easier to get into than others and it's very difficult to change colleges once you are admitted, it's like applying to get into the school all over again. Obviously getting into the CS or Engineering programs at Cal is very hard but many of the other programs are much less competitive. I don't know if that's how all the UC schools are or not, but the difficulty of admissions seems like a mixed bag at UC Berkley.
If they can manage to make "student athletes" pass classes they’ve never been to (and who they pay tuition for) then how hard do you think it would be for someone that’s actually paying to go there?
The admissions criteria for universities don't make a lot of sense. The standardized tests select for students that are good at writing those tests.
Malcolm Gladwell (yeah, yeah, I know) did a podcast series about the admissions process for law schools and the role that test taking speed plays in the admission process.
FTA: an example: """In regard to this engineering applicant, the associate dean stated that he was concerned that the applicant’s math test scores were low, but when he considered those scores together with the applicant’s holistic rating and GPA, he believed that the applicant would be successful as an engineering major and admitted the applicant. """
Colleges rarely if ever fail students. There’s a known phenomenon of grade curving (adding +x% to exams if it was difficult for some students) which I never understood during my time in higher education.
Yet it makes sense because universities want to lessen liabilities and have rich alum give back (esp. the case with the children of wealthy donors).
I went to Berkeley and this wasn’t true for Berkeley. Popular majors were very competitive and were designed to filter students out of majors. Many classes were based on a curve such that effectively 1/3 of people ended up at least leaving the major. Sample popular majors: computer science, chemical engineering, molecular cell biology. I knew of at least one person who effectively failed out after one semester and of community college transfers in danger of failing out.
Same experience at my UC. Popular/impacted major courses aren't even allowed to curve up (only down). The universities will defend the reputation of their top majors by aggressively filtering out people not meeting the bar. It's not unheard of for a majority of a class to be given non-passing marks, and it's in their financial interest to do so since the student will have to retake the class, thus pay more in tuition. They'd just rather you waste your time and money in an non-impacted major (and so it doesn't impact their graduation rate stat used for major rankings).
Definitely have my share of friends that did 6-8 year stints at the UC for a 4-year degree from constantly failing out of classes, but never forced out.
Just poor communication, they're actually saying anyone who responds to their tweet with the hashtag may be featured in some May 4th Disney Special, and the ToS are implicit.
Isn't this technically not necessary as tweets are public domain?
not one mention or shout out to Apple who has been doing the left/right gesture for quite some time in iOS and the bottom navigation gesture since the iPhone X
We have several years of experience developing UIs and SDKs using Qt / QML for the in-flight entertainment space.
We are exploring the use of Qt / QML to build iOS and Android applications. Some of our apps use a server-side component written in NodeJS. We have a few apps on the stores right now. See our site for details. We are interested in short term/long term contract opportunities and can begin ASAP.
You're getting down voted so I'm going to post that I agree with you, but maybe add some perspective that you might have missed.
I agree that the Apple app store is better without the ugly apps because there already are so many apps out there. Another poster made a comment about "reviews" and "screenshots." Yes, there are reviews and screenshots, but for some app types having to weed through even what does make it through is very time consuming. So this saves me time from having to look myself. I'm not sure what could allow a more lenient acceptance strategy and help me weed through apps I'm not interested in, but I'd certainly appreciate it!
There are some app types/categories where it would be too bad if an ugly app didn't make it through, but I think in the grand scheme of the Apple app store these sorts of rejections are a positive.
That's not really the point. If there are 50 bad apps for every good one the store would be a horrible place to browse. If Apple enforces some level of quality then it becomes a better place for developers to sell their apps.
I have the unpopular opinion that apple is already too lenient on app quality. I've been rejected quite a few times. In almost all cases the customer was better off for it.
A good point nirajd. We hope that travel bloggers who are fighting to generate more views for their trips will generally choose to upload interesting and attractive photos in order to stand out from their competitors. But of course being a site with 100% user generated content (travel bloggers or non travel bloggers) we expect to see a diverse range of quality.
