Assuming this child is 15 or older and not developmentally delayed, a parent should absolutely not be intervening for the difference between an A or an A-
This is how you get kids with parents who go to job interviews with them. I actually had to teach a kid I went to undergrad with how to grocery shop because "I never had to do it myself"
>She told me of an email she received that said "X is trying to get into Princeton - an A- isn't going to get her in. What extra credit can she do to make this an A?".
I remember reading that the average player spends $80 on DLC for Fortnite — so there are a lot of people out there spending well over that to bring up the average from all those $0 players.
I'd say it's about the value of low-cost alternatives from an industry (medical devices) that very often disregards cost entirely.
I understand the precision and expertise that goes into medical devices, and they've saved millions of lives (mine included) — but in countries where $6,000 means something might as well not exist, they need something in-between precision manufacturing or nothing at all.
Feels real to me generally — actors are usually easy to spot, and these would be surprisingly good actors.
The police are not going to do anything in my experience.
I literally caught someone in the act of stealing a package and the police specifically told me to do nothing and file a report. I submitted clear video of a face and apparently this was a known thief to others in the neighborhood, so I even gave them the person's name. They're still stealing packages 6 months later. The police tell me there are warrants pending.
I'm at the point now where I've gone from trusting a review consensus to seeking an individual reviewer on a product that seems thorough and reliable.
My favorite example might be trying to find outdoor solar-powered lights. Mountains of garbage, with a lot of sellers just re-branding the same garbage. The silver-lining is that there are power-reviewers out there doing complete tear-downs and reviewing wiring/soldering quality. These people are the true heroes.
The bulk of the design industry is in wealthy countries with an Apple presence.
But yes, there are professional designers who don't use Apple products. They're just not the majority in a global sense, but I'm sure they're the majority in some locales. Hell, there are still designers out there who don't even use a computer.
Honestly they should have abandoned it earlier. Instead of building monoliths of legacy features/code they need to build full-on replacements every 5-10 years. I can't believe they're still actively developing Dreamweaver to this day.
OF course, there's still not a replacement for Fireworks because they just rolled it into one of their other legacy products. XD is still not great.
I'm amazed that they haven't had massive layoffs. They're both popular enough to the point where they could turn a profit with a significant shift in how they operate.

Kids need to learn how to be their own advocates.
