More like in favour of non-shitty Bluetooth earbuds. I've never had this kind of issue with mine.

Scalpers are a problem that transcend Ticketmaster. Heck, they transcend the world of event tickets. Scalpers are a pain in so many areas. Fuck them.

The standalone Gwent version started sucking the moment all the competitive gamers got their hands on it. Then it was all about optimising the game to death, all the decks got streamlined. I came back to the game after a longer break and it was almost completely different, and my favourite faction had been so drastically altered that I couldn't get back into it.

Brave is the one run by transphobes who also love crypto.

How would you drive the adoption of such a protocol in an environment that is largely hostile towards attempts at demonetising things?

I would remind you that Aukus is a mess of the Coalition's making - after they made a mess of the original submarine replacement project under Abbott and Turnbull, insisting on Diesel.

But for Labor to withdraw from Aukus would cause a shitstorm of unseen proportions.

That's the thing. Apple has that track record already. This years iOS update will be available for phones released as far back as 2017. And that's not a recent development - 4+ years have been the norm with iOS devices for a long time, while many Android phones have suffered from much faster obsolescence.

Google have yet to prove that they can fulfill this promise.

I'll touch base with you in 7 years to see how that's going.

My in-laws brought me back a pack of 4 different craft beers from a trip recently. I can't drink and enjoy them - way too hoppy. Even the Pilsner - and I like a good Pilsner - was not enjoyable at all. The one that's left is the dark beer - going to be an expensive dirty Diesel one day.

Any company with reasonably involved processes (read: more than three steps) should have clearly documented SOPs, policies and process documentation. This has nothing to do with the level people are at. I'm at senior level and sure as shit don't remember every detail of something that was verbally communicated to me months ago unless I do it every single day, and even that's error-prone. I write step by step instructions on processes for myself and everyone else.

Benefits of this approach:

  • It's not stuck in my or anyone else's head, but clearly spelled out
  • people can follow the process again and again, no matter how much time passes between each time - you'd be surprised how much people forget if they don't do something on a daily basis
  • clear documentation removes doubt
  • clear documentation is beneficial to newly onboarded staff. Nobody gives them a half-baked version scraped together from memory fragments
  • people can point out potential issues with the process, and the documentation can be amended/updated
  • I myself can go back to it if I have even the slightest amount of doubt on a detail.

Drawbacks of this approach:

  • someone has to write the document
  • someone has to maintain it
