I've used the following blog post as a guideline for teaching my 1 year old how to behave with pets.

To summarize, teaching the child to respect the boundaries of the pet (instead of trying to actually play/care of the animal), will make the pet NOT afraid of the child. That in turn allows the pet to choose when to interact with the child. Turns out, at least in our case, the relationship between the child and cat in our case, is very similar to how the adults interact with the cat.

Although I agree with you on subscriptions in general, it is not quite as easy as blocking just one site. There are more popular remote desktop software than a regular person could list easily.

But maybe the good news is, that if blocking is enough for you, that's in the free version, right?

What are the numbers for other startups? As far as I recall, the numbers for non-food businesses are in the same ball park. I.e. founding a successful company is difficult.

My iPhone experience is a couple of years old now, but my biggest thing has been the flexibility of the home screen in Android. I can modify the home screen and run very convenient widgets for some apps with a 3rd party home screen app.

If you read the article, the main point was that Spotify doesn't inform about the limits clearly. Not the pricing.

Even now Spotify site says: "Spotify Premium: Listen without limits". Clearly there is a limit, but the limits are only mentioned after the first subscription button if you scroll far enough.

Doctors issue urgent warning to anyone who drinks energy drinks

"If you love an energy drink every now and again, it probably isn’t going to do any damage..."

Does not sound that urgent to me after reading the article.

One standout statistic was that projects with clear requirements documented before development started were 97 percent more likely to succeed.

I'd like to work in that company.

how far did you go in terms of features?

I'm a hiring manager for a company in a regulated field. In addition to what has been said already, if a candidate came with a list of their own requirements for the said app, preferrably with unit tests, and/or a checklist of how much work there is still left, that would be gold.

The fact is, that probably all organisations deal with large legacy systems. If a candidate shows the capability to think a bit further than a tech demo, that's a huge plus.

A law in which country? What would you do if someone in a different country doesn't want to follow that?

Depends how those are connected. But check out Home Assistant.

I like the idea of minimizing actions, but my finger is blocking a good part of the image if I need to hold it. I would rather swipe back.

Wasn't Mario remastered for SNES? I preferred those over the NES versions.
