But the younger son of King Charles III can proceed on allegations about other unlawful information gathering (UIG), such as hiring private eyes to dig up dirt on him, the judge ruled. ![]() Justice Timothy Fancourt said Harry was well enough aware of a phone hacking scandal that roiled Britain more than a decade ago that he could have brought his own case sooner.

The Duke of Sussex alleged the publisher of The Sun and the now-defunct News Of The World hacked his phone, employed investigators and used deception to unlawfully gather information on him dating back two decades. The case also cannot deal with a claim that newspaper executives made a secret settlement pact with the royal family, the judge ruled.

Just for those few seconds, and bracketed by probably the two noisiest effects in the film (alarms in Dave’s pod, and oxygen rushing into the airlock), sound is totally absent from the film. The weight and tension and meaning in the silence in these scenes is as significant as any music could be.Ĭonsider the later scene, as Dave re-enters the ship without his helmet: we sense the vacuum of space because while we see a jet of gas, and we see Bowman tossed around like a ragdoll, and we see him pull the lever to close the hatch, we hear nothing. The white noise even carries on when the intermission begins, a little of the tension of the film carried into the real world. Dead, echoless silence while Frank and Dave conspire against Hal.Frank’s oxygen supply hissing, and his breathing, during his spacewalk.In the first half of the “Discovery” act alone, there’s: They get less comment than the soundtrack because they’re less obvious, but Kubrick’s types of silence are as carefully chosen as his music. ![]() (Some versions of the film omit the intermission I think the length of that silence alone is reason enough to include it.)īut during the long silence, there are different types of background noise. There is dialogue, and there are sound effects, but both are scant, and the latter is often indistinguishable from background noise anyway. As I said in my main 2001 article, the bulk of the plot of the movie takes place during a long silence, 46 minutes without any accompaniment music. I don’t know if John Cage ever saw 2001, but I expect if he did, he’d have loved how Kubrick used silence. (Part two, on A Clockwork Orange, is finally underway.) Of course, it’s also an appropriate time to link back to my piece on the music from the film. Kubrick realized that, if he was going to make a film about human fear and awe, the viewer had to feel those emotions as well. Its eerily neutral and silent appearance at the crossroads of human evolution evokes the same wonder for members of the audience as it does for characters in the film. In the end, Kubrick decided that “you cannot imagine the unimaginable” and, after trying more ornate designs, settled on the monolith. Alberto Giacometti’s sculptures of thinned and elongated humans, resembling shadows at sundown, were briefly an inspiration. These gargoyle-like creatures were rejected, and “ended up dotted around the garden,” according to Kubrick’s daughter Katharina. ![]() For a time, Christiane was modelling clay aliens in her studio. In their earliest meetings in New York, Clarke and Kubrick, along with Christiane, sketched drafts and consulted the Surrealist paintings of Max Ernst. In a movie about extraterrestrial life, Kubrick faced a crucial predicament: what would the aliens look like? Cold War-era sci-fi offered a dispiriting menu of extraterrestrial avatars: supersonic birds, scaly monsters, gelatinous blobs. The best thing I’ve read for the anniversary is Dan Chiasson’s piece for the New Yorker, rich with details I’d never heard. I almost criminally let the 50th anniversary of 2001: A Space Odyssey pass without comment (and without rewatching the film). ![]() ![]() The Indigo MasterCard does not include any sort of rewards scheme like these cards do. If you are lucky enough to snag the $0 fee, it is a decent credit building option. Since this card offers no rewards to offset this cost and only average APR and additional fees, paying any sort of annual fee on this card doesn’t seem justified. It is impossible to know which fee you’ll be assigned before applying, and both the middle and top tier options are much higher than average. You’ll get either $0, $59 or $99 ($75 the first year). Pricey annual feeĪfter applying for the Indigo MasterCard, you’ll be assigned one of three possible annual fees based on your creditworthiness. They aren’t particularly high, but you’ll still want to avoid them whenever possible. The cash advance fee, late or returned payment fee and minimum interest charge are also pretty standard on this card. You definitely won’t want to carry a balance in order to avoid accumulating interest charges. That said, many unsecured cards carry APRs upwards of 24 percent, so this is a middle of the road option. You’ll find plenty of credit building options with a lower APR, such as the OpenSky® Secured Visa® Credit Card, with an APR of 22.39% (variable). The Indigo card APR is also nothing special. So while you’ll get the average credit limit right away without a deposit, you might find your progress inhibited a few months down the line when you can’t improve your available credit. Plus, the Indigo card does not specify any timeline for an account review to increase your credit limit. The initial credit limit of $300 is standard for a credit building card, but is still pretty low when it comes to boosting your credit score. ![]() When it comes to steadily increasing your credit limit, the Indigo card leaves much to be desired. No specified timeline to increase credit limit The Indigo card is a good option if you don’t have the funds to put down a large deposit, but want a standard credit limit right away. Everyone who is approved for this card will receive a standard credit limit of $225-$300, depending on your annual fee. ![]() Unlike many cards available to those with bad to fair credit, the Indigo card does not require any sort of security deposit. ![]() ![]() Standard credit limit with no security deposit If you have bad to fair credit and are eager to improve it, this card is a quick and easy way to get started. If you are still worried about qualifying, you can check for pre-qualification on their website in just a couple minutes with no impact to your credit score. The Indigo Mastercard is specifically designed for people with less than perfect credit, and it is even available to those with a previous bankruptcy. There is no rewards program though, so if you qualify for the highest annual fee the cost of membership is much higher than typical. You won’t have to pay a set-up or monthly servicing fee. In general, the additional fees aren’t too bad for an unsecured card. But the wide range of annual fees and unspecified policy for increasing your credit limit over time rank this card on the lower end of credit building cards. If you are trying to improve your less than perfect credit, the Indigo Mastercard has a pretty standard APR and credit limit. ![]() ![]() ![]() I have a spreadsheet and a full training module for how to run this meeting in my full online course for wedding officiants called Unboring!Wedding Academy.

![]() ![]() ![]() This whole lastpass thing is even more dangerous because the vaults were downloaded and can be processed at any time in the future. Same goes for SolarWinds, Kaseaya, Log4J.etc as lots of uninteresting targets got swept up. It really pisses me off because MOST of this is 100% avoidable. Most companies would never be in the cross hairs of hackers, but since everything is "Cloud-as-a-service" and that pushes more and more off prem, orgs that are normally not interesting enough became swept up and are targeted as a 'value-add'. This is my main problem with "security" cloud providers. Its more about "are you interesting enough" to be targeted. When it's officially considered stable and supported by them, I think it'll be the best option available for most businesses. It's currently still beta, but it's much easier to administer, uses much less resources, can run on ARM and can also works with Postgres/MariaDB/MySQL. Now, there is this extremely nice recent development of Bitwarden offering a new lightweight all-in-one "unified" image. It's also fully free software, but there's no paid support available for it, so you're trading those two things. Not a big deal if you're gonna deploy to 1000 users and have the extra time & hardware associated with that, but way overkill if it's only gonna be used by 20 people in IT internally. For all intents and purposes, it is most of their full SaaS-tier service with all the extra complexity that brings. It needs specifically MSSQL and a whole mess of containers or standalone services that have to be kept in sync, along with some scripts that try to do so. The upstream/official self-hosted Bitwarden enterprise server is a somewhat painful product to run. ![]() Not them, but I'd recommend the same thing. ![]() ![]() ![]() QuickBooks Online also syncs with a variety of payroll tools, including the accountant-friendly QuickBooks Online Payroll. While QuickBooks Self-Employed is a passable income-tracking and invoicing app for the self-employed, it’s pricier than other freelance-friendly accounting tools like Wave Accounting and Xero. The 8 Best International Payroll Services for 2023Ĭhoosing a payroll service: A guide for business leaders The Best Payroll Software for Enterprises in 2023 QuickBooks Self-Employed tackles basic freelance bookkeeping features like expense tracking, receipt uploading, tax categorizing, quarterly tax estimating and mileage tracking. QuickBooks has an accounting tool specifically for freelancers called QuickBooks Online Self-Employed, which starts at $15 a month. Additional QuickBooks accounting and payroll products Advanced is the only QuickBooks plan to include free 24/7 customer service. Still, the plan is extremely comprehensive and includes employee expense tracking, batch invoicing and 25 users. ![]() QuickBooks Online Advanced is more than double the cost of QuickBooks Online Plus, which can make it an expensive jump for midsize businesses seeking to scale up. It also increases the number of users you can add to five. QuickBooks Online Plus adds essential business tools like inventory tracking and project management. Unlike QuickBooks Simple Start, which includes access for one user and their accountant, Essentials allows you to add up to three users (plus your accountant). QuickBooks Online Essentials costs an additional $25 per month, which adds features like bill management and time tracking. QuickBooks Simple Start includes free guided setup, though this feature isn’t available for users who choose the free trial. Its basic features include invoicing, online payment acceptance, 1099 contractor management and automatic sales channel syncing (for e-commerce business owners).įor an additional $50 per month, Simple Start users gain on-demand access to a live bookkeeper who can guide you through basic bookkeeping and accounting functions. QuickBooks Online Simple Start is geared toward solopreneurs, sole proprietors, freelancers and other micro- and small-business owners. Your card will be charged automatically once the trial ends unless you cancel in advance. If you choose the free trial, note that QuickBooks requires a credit card to sign up. New users can choose between a 30-day free trial or a three-month 50% discount. ![]() Intuit QuickBooks Online has four plans that can accommodate small, midsize and large businesses. QuickBooks Online’s pricing Image: Intuit Quickbooks ![]() ![]() ![]() Despite that requirement, it does a terrible job at recapping those important events by glossing over major beats from the last game and neglecting to properly reintroduce characters. While it is a sequel, it’s more of a second chapter that demands an intimate familiarity of its forebearer. These themes are also integral to the plot, which banks too heavily on knowledge from the original game. That island is one of the few easy things to remember about the first game. ![]() While some of those antagonists are faceless ghouls, having a more human opposition with understandable goals offers more subtleties that spooky ghosts aren’t equipped to supply. The ideas are woven together well since they manifest differently in each character and grant alternate viewpoints that all uniquely poke at the game’s themes. Oxenfree 2 uses Riley, Jacob, and the antagonists to comment on acceptance and fate. It’s bizarre that the game lets players be mean to Jacob since he’s agreeable to a fault - his flaws are internal struggles that aren’t negatively expressed outward - but the two make for a solid team. His past is not nearly as complicated or compelling, and it seems like his main purpose is to add the levity that Riley is emotionally incapable of providing. ![]() Jacob is less complicated and more of an upbeat nerd that hides his staggering amount of insecurity behind humor. Learning her history and why she’s returned to her hometown are both intriguing hooks that also make her a more nuanced person. Riley is laid-back and has a nonchalant attitude that could have become grating, but never does because of its mostly competent (if sometimes overwritten) script. Riley, the protagonist, and her new colleague Jacob are given the space to grow and become more than two-dimensional caricatures simply trying to bust some ghosts. Sprinting to the end with a stranger wouldn’t have as much weight as crawling to the climax with a friend. The pacing seems deliberately dialed down to give players more time to adhere to the cast. Riley and Jacob have some great heart-to-heart moments. Lengthy and persistent loading times also frequently hinder its forward momentum and are only made somewhat tolerable by its incredible horror-tinged ambient soundtrack. When so many scenes play out the same way or only have negligible differences, the glacial walking speed and unskippable dialogue just make additional runs even more unappealing. Oxenfree 2 has some hidden conversations and many dialogue choices, but it doesn’t appear to give players many opportunities to truly craft their own playthrough. ![]() Moving at a snail’s pace curtails the urge to explore and, more broadly, limits replay value. Taking a wrong turn is also particularly excruciating since it’s impossible to quickly course correct. Hunting for collectibles or potential secrets only to be met with a dead end is demoralizing and often not worth the effort. Players can’t even control their walking speed, but it’s almost always too sluggish anyway. The walkie talkie that can ping a number of different characters is the most noticeable difference, but those exchanges regularly get interrupted or overlap with other dialogue.Ĭarrying over the movement system is more detrimental since it drags down the pace and stretches out simple trips. Oxenfree should have been the starting point, not the endpoint. After seven years, it would have been more enticing if the team pushed forward with some new tweaks or innovations since standards are different now. Night School Studio seemingly didn’t improve or expand these systems to further build on the foundation it laid all those years ago. Here’s an example of the dialogue overlapping.Īll of these small decisions play their part in making Oxenfree 2’s dialogue presentation so impressive, but it’s still the same formula. The naturalistic performances further ground these characters since they speak with hesitation markers and stammer much like real people without it being a hokey crutch. The way characters speak is also one of its strong suits since they will talk all the way until the player picks a response, meaning conversations don’t have the dead air that is so distracting in many of its contemporaries. It’s still an effective way to build character and gives Oxenfree 2 ample opportunity to flesh out its new faces. ![]() |
