  2. Based on OnePlus' public statement regarding the matter, this would appear to be true, and it's a specific Qualcomm driver that was the problem

    The important part is that the person was at-will. Don't stir the pot, won't draw the ire of the people who can fire you. Now he's unhirable, though I guess he could go work for Reason or something

    Currently it does not, but since it is Chromium based, it probably will in the future. It's definitely a highly requested feature on the forums

    Brave is Chrome for Android with a real ad blocker built in. Firefox has issues that hurt it in Android(comparative battery drain, zoomed out touch recognition, etc)

    Well aren't you special

  9. Who's talking politics?

  10. 1) Don't hire them if they don't fit your culture. All workplaces should do this, regardless of what constitutes the work culture. It fosters a better working environment in general.

    2) Give people who require an office space (or who are unable to furnish their own office space that is separated from their living quarters) a stipend for a remote office workspace provider like Regus.

    Eh, Uber is getting shit for other stuff, not your pearl clutching bullshit. Lyft is moving upwards and generating positive news and business relationships while Uber is killing itself with its own stupidity. They both operate in the same market.

  12. It's not like they haven't won Emmys or anything for their TV shows

  13. Most probably do have Amazon Prime. It's exceedingly useful for cost conscious people and fairly convenient. Most probably don't know how to utilize it for their video service.

    So, because of your value system, if I choose to work nights in an arrangement that's already setup, I should be laid off in favor of someone in that timezone because reasons?

    That's only the latest round. About 10 years ago they offered a bunch of remote services people the option of moving to various Eastern European locales to be closer to some customers, along with a pay cut, or be laid off. Apparently, supporting English speaking people on a different continent remotely means you can't do it in the US.

    Which bathroom to use isn't recognized as a basic human right or a protected classification by federal law, so states and lower level legislators have leeway to operate. Until it is something the federal government acts upon, they are free to do as they wish within the bounds of the law. They are empowered to do that by the 10th amendment.

    Airbnb/VRBO has had a very noticeable impact in the lease and sales market in many cities in Southern California. Landlords can make more money renting out a house a few days a month over the course of a year than they do with a 12 month lease. It's the middle of March, most of the nation is still chilly, some experiencing very wintery weather. It was 80+ and very sunny in the Southland last week. People pay big bucks for that.

    And that's ignoring the impact it has on local communities, businesses, and schools. These newly transient communities are turning areas with neighborhoods built around community into cities like Parker AZ where nearly any decently located property is a vacation rental property.

  25. Unfortunately Sony are the only company that do this that I know of

    I like the placement of it and their phones look fantastic, but Sony's prices are ridiculous.
