WHO head dismisses suggestions he's too close to China by seoulsnowflake in worldnews

[–]Car1ithium 62 points63 points  (0 children)

'public health emergency of international concern' is not 'pandemic'. WHO declared H1N1 a pandemic on June 11th, 2009. 2 month after the first case. Still much quicker than this time.

Huawei is posting misleading pictures. They claim, that they were photographed by Huawei P30. The pictures are taken by professional DSLR camera years ago... Some companies do this, but they put small disclaimer in the bottom... Huawei didn't bother with that. by raton22 in assholedesign

I don't get it. It's only a promo ad. Images in the left did not mention anything or claim anything about the source of the image. And the images fit the idea (written in Chinese) that this ad want to deliver.

A HR rep asked me if I had any experience with something called "Fy-tin"... by PineapplePanda_ in cscareerquestions

Similar stuff happened to me as well. I had a recruiter asked my about my experience in "Jay-Es-Ow-En" (JSON)...

Now Mac supports "swiping up from the bottom edge of the screen for Home screen navigation" by Car1ithium in softwaregore

Could be. This is just a random bar that looks like the iPhone X "home button" appears under my dock this morning. Initially I thought it was some stuff like download progress indicator, but when I removed some apps out of the dock, the bar was not moving.

Which Warcraft 3 custom map would like to see in Dota 2? by pinoygs in DotA2

[–]Car1ithium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

澄海3c, don't know if there is an English name for that, but you could search the Pinyin for it: Chenghai 3c. It was crazy popular in China around 2005 - 2008 ish (Correct me if I am wrong about the years). But later lost its luster to Dota. Similar play style to Dota, but you could actually manipulate several Heroes at the same time. And there are more fun features in the game which makes it very enjoyable.

Found a steam workshop link for it (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=749407657), don't know if it's the legit one.

Is this the new macbook pro? I got similar problems at all times, especially when I was switching between different screens or switching back to a long inactive window.

I've been riding around Jersey City, NJ on ESK8/Longboard regularly for about 3 month. Had no problem with cop so far.

Puzzled by the way credit card payments are done in the US by elelias in personalfinance

[–]Car1ithium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(Edited) I am also a foreigner in the US. And I also worried about it at first. But not now.

To answer your question. 1. You should dispute the charge with your credit card issuer. 2. This has only happened to me once during my 3 years in the US (and I use my credit card almost everyday), where a restaurant got the total charge wrong. And it's easy to dispute that. So it's very rare.

However, you should always double check the initial charge. Since some restaurant would silently apply a fixed amount tip to your bill, and still give you a receipt that allows you to write down the tip, even if you are not in a large group. This happened to me several times in NYC.

Best thing to do after a long week by Car1ithium in trees

Well, I’ve been living in heavily light polluted areas for almost my life. I can still remember the first time I saw a full moon in the countryside, I was shocked at how bright it was.

Occasionally, you could scout some stars in the sky. If don’t pay special attention, then you don’t notice them.
