15 days/15 minutes is not a coincidence at all. They were both present in v1.5. For 15 days, usage was unlimited. After day 15, recordings were limited to 15 minutes.

In v1.6, the 15 days was inadvertently removed. This meant that the 15 minute limit was in effect from day 0.

Exactly this. I want a big toggle that I can turn on in developer settings (perhaps make it more involved than that, but you get the gist) that says "I acknowledge that from here on in I am responsible for my data and I hereby absolve Google and other interested parties from responsibility should I blah blah blah..."

Why the hell can't I use my rooted device for payments? It's my goddamn money at risk.

That Newsweek one would have had me stumped for a little, I think. I like to think I'm pretty tech-savvy, but not knowing Newsweek, that looks a little bit like a logo to me. I think I would assume that was going to take me to the homepage and avoid it.

A British man and a Polish man enter a bar. The Polish guy says, "Do you know what they call a beer in Poland?" "No," says the Brit. "They call it a fucking beer."

' “Tipping is about making sure the people who are performing that service for you are getting paid what they’re owed,” said Schenker, who’s been working in the service industry for roughly 18 years. '

Shouldn't that be the employer's job? I'm not exaggerating when I say this tipping culture is a major reason why I wouldn't move the US. It's ridiculous.

They only jump between markers, and only when they will tick to the next marker. Watch for longer.

200 lines a day is ridiculous. A good programmer isn't just someone who writes a lot of code. I'd rather hire someone who writes 3 lines a day, but fixes bugs on the way, than someone who writes 200 lines without proper testing, leaving others to fix the mess. Lines of code is a terrible metric.
