The only SMS I’ve gotten in the last 5 years are the double authentication ones. WhatsApp is the default way of texting in many countries. Outside of the US, when you ask people to stop using WhatsApp, chances are you are asking them to give up texting entirely. Which you must realize is complicated to say the least
Almost all jobs in which you have to interact with people, so most of them. I work in an office and i need it to communicate with clients, with my boss or coworkers, or with a government agency. You have to understand that WhatsApp is ubiquitous outside of the US. Here we never got free SMS, so WhatsApp became the default way of texting. Even people on iphones use WhatsApp here
When everybody uses WhatsApp to communicate, which is a meta service, it’s a bit complicated to cut off communication with literally everybody in your country (work, friends, businesses) just to not use a service. It’s disingenuous to expect this without some sort of change within the current status quo. And this is coming from someone who doesn’t use any of their other platforms but has to use WhatsApp, because that’s literally the only choice
What he is trying to say is: is that due to a loss of neuroplasticity or is it more along the line of older children and adults learning a second language usually aren’t deep in the same level of immersion. I agree with him that it’s probably somewhere in the middle
It’s always the classic not-rule to take-away-your-children slippery slope, they always warned us of that in school
One of the most compelling arguments I’ve heard. I must say I was a skeptic before but this really opened my eyes
I thinks it’s because bad publicity does help a brand get recognition, that’s why the saying goes like that. The thing with telsa is that it already has the recognition so with every other article that comes out exposing yet another flaw with them, ever more people associate the brand with bad quality
The parenthesis is not there to provide the cited source, but rather to specify what to do with the time that is given to us (watch the fellowship of the ring)

Totally agree, steam is one the big players that stills offers a quality service both for consumers and for developers

The golden rule of the internet. Anything hated at release has a high chance of becoming beloved once those who grew up with become adults.
Truly bad stuff at release simply ends up forgotten.

You gotta honor the cock
I was taken aback by his performance in Foundation (given that he plays several versions of the character as each iteration of Cleon and they all feel distinct). Such a good actor!
Lee Page supremacy
Because not everywhere works exactly like the US? Besides the point, if you work at a McDonald’s, they are not going to give you a phone so you can text your manager. If you don’t have a means of communication you are not getting the job.
