Rational arguments and facts are banned if they don't support and follow proscribed opinions. Respectful debate is an ideal of the past that is no longer permitted.

1. Make things work in the common-most use-cases, for power users and novices. I think there's a lack of respect shown to people who have difficult, edge-case, real problems to solve, like batch receiving orders while being forced into narrow pagination and sparse layouts suitable only for casual customers. Usable search and bulk actions are needed in more contexts than originally assumed.
2. If someone asks for it, there could be 100 who didn't speak-up but also want it.
3. Organize and explain settings succinctly.
4. Have a reset to defaults option.
Also, that's what patsies and false credentials are for. It's easier to buy new identities in other countries where money talks and ethics are flexible.
Edit: In general without Apple, BT File Sharing has never interop'd. It's better to use a third-party app that uses BLE or a cloud or chat app with file sharing.
I do have issues with BT compatibility between some devices with stuttering sound. For example, I have Edifier speakers that don't work properly with Apple devices.
Another issue is audio/video latency. aptX Low Latency isn't widely-supported. Receivers, TVs, computers, and any display device chain muxes or demuxes A/V should support an A/V calibration device discoverable by WiFi and BT containing a microphone and light sensor for automatic synchronization.
Pairing is a PITA. The behaviors of connecting, selecting, forcing, and moving devices are inconsistent and problematic. AirPods are terrible because they repeatedly connect when not wanted.
Also, using the audio cable and charging cable at the same time results in annoying digital noise in the headphones. It may be a ground loop issue that can be broken by charging and listening with different relative ground sources (gnd of USB must be different than the audio gnd).
Skimming vs. careful understanding vs. visualization vs. holding a book to avoid conversation.
Steven King vs. Chaucer vs. Gibbon vs. so on.
Parents and the local educational system are primarily responsible for whether or not curiosity is murdered in young learners or it is given life-long inspiration.
This reminds me of the pickup artist scene and digital persuasion behavioral engineering: trying to sell some "revolutionary", "secret" form of human manipulation. The equivalent of a Love Potion No. 9.
I guess we're talking about a time of greater ignorance when the supernatural and "spirituality" were taken for-granted.
Nowadays, it seems like NLP-ridiculous, psychobabble, fortuneteller magic. Certainly, charismatic cult leaders exist and appear to project an ability to influence people.
Anecdotally and qualitatively, there does seems to be a phenomenon where respected, older, attractive men of higher relative status are able to influence groups of younger women. It may be the exploitation of competitive human nature to seek the approval and favor of the desired object. I've seen it in social and work situations.
Examples:
- A pleasant chat with most of an NCAA D1/D2 womens' sports team.
- Leading a tour of mostly ladies.
- Work meetings or groups where, again, it's mostly ladies and/or younger people. When facilitating, I shut my trap except to ask questions, coax the more junior members and shy ones to speak-up if they have something. If only the competitive talkers take all the space, the others maybe biased to those views, resent not having a voice, or give-up on participation.
- Being the only dude in a given situation.
I wouldn't call it "mesmerism," maybe "crush compliance" or "competitive social behavior."
There are/were fairly-complete warez torrents of MAME sets. The ones up to the early 2000's were of reasonable size, but after that, the sizes balloon.
Best to get a stand-up MAME arcade which were the rage some years ago.
Deplatforming creates martyrs and conspiracy theories, as does the lack of communication or the lack of reputable authorities.
I don't know how we can scale the limited time of subject-matter authorities except to direct their cannons at the biggest sources and individual instances of nonsense.
Caused by glacial erosion, the "freezing" of sediment deposition by ice coverage, or both?
Are there any estimates on glacial thickness or "heat map" of thicknesses across Pannotia?
This just in - it's up for me at this instant.
Edit: That's for AWS, not Alexa. I wish they had a dashboard for Amazon proper's major service components. I'm not sure how real or phony such a dashboard would be for internal/external political/business reasons.
Edit: Also there's currently a peak of user feedback at the following link, so it could be an outage

If you're downhill mountain biking, wear a proper helmet. If you're racing in Manhattan, wear an equally suitable helmet. If you're leisurely riding on a wide, empty side road in a residential area and cycle often, it may lend more placebo overconfidence to the rider than it confers necessary protection. It seems like gearing-up in knee and elbow pads to go for a simple walk.
