    Nah, it's just highlighting that each person has different priorities. Considering none of us here have unlimited money, we all make decisions on how to allocate our spending.

    @lefty doesn't value higher end phones so she doesn't spend her money on an iPhone or Pixel or whatever.

    Maybe she buys Butter nail polish; the person who buys Walgreens brand nail polish thinks lefty is crazy.

    This is actually why I switched from my iPhone recently. I used to have a mac and an iPad, but last time I bought a laptop I went window 10 because I took a look at the hardware and said "I can spend $200 less for the same performance and I like windows 10 personally". And then using the Apple ecosystem (icloud photos, all the OSX integration) stopped really making sense so I started using all the google apps. Then I realized "wait, why am I paying this much for a phone with a bunch of features I'm literally not using for anything, might as well just go over to google's side where google's apps tend to work better"

    This is the same reason I moved to Android. I found that I was using Google's apps anyway.

    Don't miss on our HIT: Guess the correlation and get up to $10

    We will run an online multiplayer game as part of a MIT scientific project. The actual HIT will require people to be online simultaneously.

    Tuesday 7th of Nov: Qual HIT at 12:30PM EDT; actual HIT at 1:30PM EDT (one hour later). In the HIT, you will be asked to guess the correlation from a scatter plot (with a twist). The game must be played from a desktop or laptop (No mobile support).

    Requester ID: AGEIRIHRRYV6P

    The Qualification HIT information:
    HIT title:
    (Qual HIT) Guess the correlation and get up to $10
    Time: 12:30pm EDT
    Expected HIT length: 30 seconds
    Qualification: "Guess the Correlation Score" qualification is NOT granted

    The actual HIT information:
    HIT title:
    [Play immediately] Guess the correlation and get up to $10
    Time: 1:30pm EDT
    Expected HIT length: 10-35 minutes (depending on condition)
    HIT expectations:
    • Your decision to participate in the experiment is entirely voluntary.
    • 45 participates will receive the quals and 36 will play the game.
    • The remaining participants who are granted the quals (maximum 9, if everyone shows up on time, which is never the case) will be in the surplus room (in case someone goes idle or fails the attention checks).
    • People in the surplus room will be paid the base of $2 and this will not effect their future participation in our HITs.
    • The bonus varies across conditions (randomly assigned), as some conditions have longer expected play time (maximum bonus ranges from $2 to $8 based on condition)
    • The average pay $14/hr so far.
    • People who join the HIT late will receive: "Sorry, we've missed you" message. This is important to avoid the problem of people auto-accepting the HIT without playing immediately. In previous runs, we experienced 3-5 participants that accept the HIT and go idle (i.e., not showing up on time).
    If you are to participate and get assigned the qualification, it is critical that you show up on time at the beginning of the time window. Otherwise, it would delay the start of the game for the other participants.

    Right, but the "this costs less than X months of Starbucks coffee" line is basically straight out of Tom Hopkins' classic book.

    You just need to send a message that's guilt inducing without being super obvious about it. Mention something about trying to make money to feed your kid or something.

    Less into the car, more to the women.

    Whoever says that money doesn't buy happiness is just a jealous person who has never had money.

    Regardless of your priorities in life, you can always throw money at your issues to have a good chance of resolving them.

    It's exhausting trying to fight Apple.

    Apple is great as long as you decide to do things the One True Way. If you stray from The Path, then it starts getting rougher ;) Built in apps can just do more on the platform, and there's no way around it.

    :dunno: I like the simplicity of the iPhone. I don't have to go digging through menus to delete apps, or even find them to begin with. I've had better luck with the cameras on the iPhones, as well. Every android I owned took terrible photos and videos. To each their own, I suppose! :emoji_relaxed:

    Oh, I'm not saying the One True Way is bad, they make some really great software. I'm just saying if the way you want to work isn't the way Apple wants to work, then things don't work quite as seemlessly.
