The company would bid on government contracts, knowing full well they promised features that didn’t exists and never would, but calculating that the fine for not meeting the specs was lower than the benefit of the contract and getting the buyers locked into our system. I raised this to my boss, nothing changed and I quit shortly after.

This is one gamble I am willing to make.

I’ve resigned twice in my career following that type of communication. Both were smallish startups outperforming the other company, which then acquired them and proceeded to turn everything to shit.

Some people just don’t get much of a beard naturally. An interesting thing is that you can actually use minoxidil (Rogaine) on your face and still grow one.

De la France? Maybe the driver is from France. Was it perhaps a Renault or Citroen?

Yeah I’m in Europe and our customers were municipalities buying healthcare related solutions. It happened after our little startup got taken over by a big player and they started getting involved in the contract bids.

I think it’s fine to promise them, but to claim they currently exist when you never plan to implement them is what I couldn’t support.

I know it doesn’t sound as much, but it’s one example and it is still 1.5mm thicker than my iPhone and ip67 instead of ip68. If it turns out, I have nothing to worry about then great, but atm I know what I have and gain nothing from user replaceable batteries as I’ve never had a phone/iPad where I wanted to change the battery. Others may prefer differently.

Christ, you are either completely off the rails or Moscow is getting good value for it’s troll money.

How do you like it? I have a Harley Forty Eight, but I’m always eyeing the Indian Scout bobber parked next to me in our parking garage.

I loved the start at the Spanish ferry terminal. I live in Spain and her confusion about where to go to park/buy the ticket and the yellow west guy that made her go the wrong way, is super illustrative of how I feel driving around here :)

Not a bot, but I think it works surprisingly well for a non native and pretty new app.

I tried but couldn't get through it. It's beautiful, but I just can't shake the feeling that it's quirky, just to be quirky and artsy, without it really serving a purpose for the story. This could probably sum up my review of most of his movies and I think I'm done with them, no matter how interesting the cast or story sounds.

I’m probably in the minority, but I’ll take slimmer, lighter and better sealed over user replaceable batteries. I’ve been using iPhones since changing from Androids to a iPhone 7, primarily because of getting tired of UIs changing constantly and not getting updates after a year or two. I know Samsung and Pixel phones do better with the updates now, but I think this would be more relevant to legislate about, instead of battery replacement.
