Are you trying to say that an elephant with a phone will need 15 minutes as well?

I don't have data to support it and I know AD was a gamechanger but I feel like Microsoft pumping free software to educational institutions was the main driver for it's adoption in the corporate world. When every person who kind of knows how to use the computer, can use MS windows and office and has to be retrained to use anything else, it's a no brainer to just give users what they know.

Is it me or it is ridiculous that none of the media about noise reduction has sound?

At least in Canada, there were multiple researches on the topic and the only benefit of a timber frame is a speed and simplicity of construction. Given that they normally end up with a very similar price tag for new constructions, I don't see why consumer would prefer timber...

On the other hand, people who work on that don't think GPT will make them jobless. Also, I recall how a major client postponed adoption of a new reporting platform because it meant for them layoffs in accounting department and accountants started to sabotage the whole thing...

Ten years in SAP working on FI, SD and AA. (not anymore, I'm done with that)

The post triggered PTSD and I want to go home and cry. You created your double entry, cool, now let's split it (because of million reasons) and add taxes. So now we deal with a basic 25 line document where some lines are doing nothing but move funds through certain tax accounts. Oh, no, there is a typo, but we cannot just create the reversal because for some accounts, the transaction should stay reflected in turnovers, for some it should not and for most it depends on fiscal period and stuff.

Don't forget that everything varies between countries. With all that let's create a financial statement for eg Walmart (who has every line item sold posted to SAP system when you buy things at store)

You can always use an open network to generate passwords for the proper internet connected WPA-EAP network (along with some in-flight multimedia like some carriers do). Extra step for sure but it solves the problem.

PS: I'm a couch expert so I have no idea if there's a problem with this idea.

If you have a process where every commit is well documented, you don't need much comments since you can rely on whatever is your analogue for git blame. It's not a lack of comments, it's actually the opposite but aside from the code base.

When I worked at SAP where VCS for ABAP is ancient and has no analogue for git blame we had a practice of putting a SAP Note next to every code change, since some of the things that we had to implement are dictated by business/legislation, so you need a proper explanation from time to time. Without it, the code becomes unmaintainable.

Seems like a footage of Patriot system firing out millions worth of ammunition and being destroyed/damaged afterwards by a ballistic missile is a big deal for its sales prospectives.

I don't have Apple Watch, but have Garmin. I used the store once during the initial setup and I don't see why it should be different for AW users.
