> And if the dues doubled in just three years then you bought into a mismanaged HOA, which makes it worse.
Not necessarily true. Our HOA fees doubled precisely because of drastic insurance premium hikes. There wasn't much that could be done by them to avoid that, and in fact they worked hard to reduce some of those premiums the following year, which resulted in a lower monthly fee for everyone.
How many billions of people start their day by getting one Scotch Bonnet (or two smaller ones), two oranges, lime and a piece of ginger into a cold press and then drinking it in one go on an empty stomach?
I would be worried about long term damage. In 10 years you might be in a world of hurt from this. At the very least I would let your doctor know that you are doing this and see what they think of it.
TBF - It still does "just work," The fact that it doesn't completely fit into your (and my) preferences doesn't really change that, and if that's the standard, then everything will fall short of it.
Early Facebook was kind of a great mix. It had enough people on it, it was making money, and the advertising was much more reasonable. At the time it really was a place to connect with IRL friends.
I really doubt that 30% productivity gain would result in 30% developers losing their jobs. Believing this would require an assumption that businesses and economies will never grow.
Unless you are listening through the same studio monitors in the same room or headphones as the mixing engineer, it will never be the same.
IMHO, people place too much importance on "accuracy". While accuracy might be objectively measured, it means nothing when it comes to individual taste.
At the scale these companies operate and the number of actual scammers they block because of their 0 - 100 policies, I can see how they got there. I bet all of us have had the luck (?) of out card being blocked because someone out there was able to get a hold of the credentials. Collateral damage like this, as devastating as it is to the individual, is probably a drop in the bucket for the company.
I'm not excusing this. What happened here shouldn't happen, and there should be quick resolutions and explanations available to the aggrieved parties.
If the tool doesn't adhere to those standards, the resulting signature isn't legally compliant (at least, not in a way that satisfies corporate structures).
