> you have it, you just have to wait 10 mins to an hour to spend it
And then after 10 mins to an hour you find you can't spend it because it's been marked invalid, and the guy you sold your iPhone to is long gone.

> A short while before the plane’s crash, an automatic alarm also signaled a fault with the plane’s electrical systems. So maybe the iPhone isn’t the culprit here. Maybe the cologne bottles in question caught fire after some sparking took place in the plane’s cockpit, but that’s only our take on the matter.
> Speaking to The Telegraph, air safety expert David Learmount also cast doubt on the theory, saying that the “pilots don’t leave objects on the dashboard because they know they will end up in their lap when they take off or on the floor and they’ll get airborne in turbulence and could jam the controls.” Learmount added that the fires in the toilet and under the cockpit appeared too quickly for them to be blamed on a battery that was in the cockpit.
But yes, I really like the Australian system. The fact that's its integrated with the tax system means there's no other monthly payments to worry about, it sorts itself out at the end of the financial year.
If you get into the property market, you can count on capital gains tax benefits and negative gearing against any other income you have. Additionally, other benefits that are means-tested often exclude property (at least primary residences).
* You can't export a list of meeting attendees into any other format (like CSV or Excel) with their response status without additional tools or Gscripts
* If there's more than 200 people on an invite, you don't get RSVPs
* There's no reliable way to update all meetings in a recurring series - some things you can change, others you're stuck flicking through your calendar and updating each one individually
* The weird lack of support for any rich-text in the body of a meeting - except if you first write it up in GDocs, then copy and paste it. Then it works fine.
* It allows you to update the time of a meeting but not send updates to the attendees. Why would I ever want to do that?
Why do you continue to order through them if they're that inaccurate?
Facebook removes human censors
Facebook allow fake news on their platform!
One a serious note: Fake news is a different problem to news 'bubbles' designed to create positive emotions. Sure they're closely linked, but you can have either without the other. I read this article and it seems to switch between them both. I appreciate the viewpoint but I found it hard to follow.
Later versions of 64-bit Windows had that compatibility layer.
(NB: I'm generalising. This applies in some other countries, not sure about the US).
There are also some professions where you don't want them to strike, and disputes should be worked out through some other arbitration process (think emergency services personnel - if paramedics go on strike, there can be some pretty severe consequences).
They might just leave - but if it's a core service they need, it's a huge amount of effort to migrate users, data, implement a new system, rewrite all their process and documentation, helpdesk manuals, etc. They generally won't mind with general fixes and updates, but if you're changing existing workflows or features, or adding new capabilities in, they'll probably want control about how they roll that our to their users.
Enterprises generally don't sign up to SaaS services through a webform and a manager somewhere punching in their Amex (although it does happen sometimes). There'll be a proper contract, with lawyers, and negotiations, etc. There'll be clauses in the contract that most enterprises don't want and they'll try to negotiate away - for example, under what circumstances can the vendor (you) terminate the service? If the Enterprise has spent heaps of money to move onto your service, they'll want assurances that you can't terminate the contract because you feel like it - and if you do, that they can sue you for damages.
As you can see it's definitely a conscious decision that you'll need to make if you want to target these Enterprise customers - it's a big investment, and often (particularly in government or if your service is going to be a core platform) you'll get contracts that commit you to 5+ years of service, but the flipside is that now you've locked in 5+ years of revenue from that customer.
In terms of remaining on older versions, vendor typically restrict this through SLas - For example, you might only get your Tier 1 SLA response (acknowledgement of a serious issue within 1 hour, for example), if you're on the current version, or the previous version. Once you're on an older version those SLAs often don't apply, and large organisations mostly aren't ok with that.
A good example is a government client I recently worked for. For major application upgrades and changes (which they needed to apply to keep their SLAs in place with the vendor), they needed at least 12-18 months notice, because if they needed to re-train 15,000 users, that takes time and lots of money. And if they needed lots of money, they needed to submit a business case to the government and get funding in the next financial year.
It's more about being consistent with other processes and applications that an enterprise already has. If your product is about generating reports, they'll want the button to say 'Generate TPS report' rather than 'Generate report'.
The next step in the fight against ongoing, overbearing surveillance is... ongoing, overbearing surveillance?
This is some of the rationale behind data caps. While you can still exceed the available bandwidth if all your customers get on and use their connection to the max, a data cap forces your customers to meter their usage out over the month and reduce the impact of this concurrent usage pattern.
I'm a paying Fastmail customer, and it's worth every cent.
I mean, both my desktop and laptop have extensive BIOS options for key management - including removing the initial keys and loading your own.
