> even the passengers, some of whom stopped to retrieve their carry-on bags while their countrymen burned.

I'm always astounded by the self-centeredness humans are capable of.

The privacy policy on the website specifically states that they are collecting the PII and may use it to offer products or services, either by themselves or via a "business partner".

It isn't paranoia when the threat is real.

You don't even need to do that, as a loophole has existed for a long time. By switching to a cheaper subscription plan, you won't incur any charges, and it will trigger a new "30-day grace period for cancellations." This allows you to cancel immediately without any fees.

It's a semantics debate all around, but the article's main point is that "show" suggests a mere demonstration, whereas "engage" implies active participation by the learner in the process of learning.

As shown by someone having to ask what it does, it obscures what it does.

The part that baffles me is the cognitive dissonance between wasting time in this manner and subsequently complaining about not having enough time to do things.

This is still a trend unfortunately.

Depends really. I am the entire ops team for a non-profit volunteer org, I host their services on the cloud specifically so when something fails I don't have to do anything. Would much rather have a cloud computing company's ops team working to fix the issue instead and we'll just pay our monthly dues.

The same can be said of many smaller companies where uptime can be maintained cheaper and more consistently by offloading ops work to a cloud computing company.

Its not, but its an extra step that most people won't do.

Woah this is an incredibly good point I hadn't even considered before now. After years of finding solutions to problems in obscure threads on forums I'd never have visited otherwise, I had never even considered the fact that the only way to do similar with discord is to not only have an account, but be a member of the specific discord guild, and then search that specific guild for specific keywords.

That's actually mind-blowingly horrifying.

It has an annoying table of contents system that seems to move you to new urls constantly as you scroll up and down, so back just takes you to different parts of the page for a while till you finally leave.
