You know why this is BS, cause you can easily train people to properly use a mask. And maybe if the government would have trained people through PSA early on, on how to properly use a mask, change gloves, etc. this pandemic wouldn't be nearly as bad as it is. Instead they told everyone, hey everything is fine, just wash your hands and don't touch your face.

Require registration. Block VPNs (as the people doing it are more likely trying to hide their true IP). If someone wants to use a VPN, require documenation. Be open about your limits.

But to be honest, the people that are abusing your system, more then likely they are doing it for financial gain, so it's likely their full time job, and they won't stop.

I don't think remote work is a perk, but I do find some employers either think or feel that they can pay employees less just because they are remote. I would never work at a place like that.

you mean those that told the truth after they got caught? Or those that told the truth after claiming for YEARS that they weren't cheating, and then later confessed, and threw everyone under the bus? Those people?

I feel the same about my 15 inch 2016 MBP. I also had the same issue with the Touch bar. I've since removed it, and changed it to the mute button, and haven't had any issue.

When I first purchased it, (when it was released in store), I had problems with graphical artifacts, but than a new update was released for MacOSX and it's been fine since.

I purchase one (MBP 15). I did have some issues when using a external video card adapter (using DisplayLink drivers) that was then plugged into a USB2 hub that was then plugged into a USB-C to USB adapter. But since removing the driver (and the video card adapter), I haven't had any issues.

Interesting response when you state that you may give Linux a try given Apple's direction and then you list what you like about Apple's laptop. I wonder why you're thinking that other then the recent 'post' by some complaining about the new Notebooks. I recently purchased a new MBP 15 (up from a 2011 MBP 13) and the build quality is still there, the design of the new laptop is really nice and the screen quality is excellent.

To top it off the new MBP have a awesome trackpad and are very quiet (least mine is I have the 2.6GHZ 16GB 256GB SSD model) and even while playing videos on Google Chrome (which use to really heat up my 13 inch) my 15 inch is quiet and cool.

It's actually a nice to have feature, but at least not yet, not a must have. Just having Touch ID makes it worth it to me.

The escape key is still there, it's on the Touch Bar, I have no issues with using it, and I haven't had to re-map it. Also you can hit the 'fn' key and the 'Function' bar and escape key will appear while using any other 'app' that changes the Touch Bar.

I like it, although I don't use it a lot. It's a nice to have more then a must have. But it works so far flawlessly. I do like having Touch ID.

Probably be more useful once more apps take advantage of it. So far only a few non-Apple apps I use take advantage of it. I do hope Slack takes advantage soon.

ahhh maybe cause the CNN article doesn't prove that Musk was right. They were driving under different conditions (the weather is much warmer now). Didn't stay over night, and didn't follow the same instructions that the NYT report received when he called Tesla.

I'm using Treehouse currently to learn how to make apps for Android and it's coming a long great. I work full time (not a coder), married with a kid on the way, so I don't get the chance to work on it as much as I like. For me I feel it works as I can see the instructor code an example on the video, and many things he repeats throughout the video. They also link notes into their lessons and links to other sites, have blog entries about Android and they have a forum for asking questions, that they respond to.

My only previous experience is HTML5/CSS.

I've tried Codeacademy when it first came out, but found it dull. Maybe cause it's about Javascript and not what I wanted to learn exactly (Android development).

I get great battery life with my iPhone 4S and Galaxy Nexus when I don't use them for 3 or 4 days...
