Thanks for linking this. Glad to see the scope of this is rather wide. We have a single confirmed non-resident case in this county. It felt like the scope of the whole state was too wide considering the lack of cases near us. And without an

I'd agree with the oddness of sharing your emotions in a team meeting. I likely wouldn't express my "true" feelings. I gauge my teammates emotional states based on personal interactions and available context. Nor is it s

I just made my own private office in my home. Easily done with cost savings of remote work. I suspect you mean private office at HQ, or alike. To which I'd say... that'd be a hell of a lot better than tradition or open office layo

I think there's a equivalent replacement for nearly every feature. There's not an equivalent service with as many users. I try to run my hobby groups and there's resistance to using new services when FB can handle it all. Eve

Safety is important. Forcing a design of a product to your objectively high standards is not.

Comparing safety regulations to enforced development guidelines? Do you not see the distinction of why the latter is ok?

Forcing a company to have a diagnostic tool or team to identify a problem you might not have them fix is silly IMO. So is forcing their hand on creating a repairable product. I don't expect Microsoft to be able to easily identify obscu

Basically useless is pretty hyperbolic. Saying "Navigate to 12 John Street, Bullocks NY" is very simple. The main features work quite well without search history. Though I'd agree setting a home address shouldn't be tied

That's still a thing via the map. You can also pay for a location based filter & start a similar story as well. Ideal for weddings.

Taking things too literally seems to be a plague infecting many topics lately. I've interpreted the phrase similarly, do whatever you need to, just get "it" out of your head! Perfection is the enemy of good.

You're not removing, just disabling. All connections are stored when FB is disabled. Better yet, messenger can persist without FB and stories are generally quality personal updates. Messenger is a great application. I found curation o

An on point post. My friends are usually those who I value outside of their internet self's. All our posting habits are up for criticism. And I'm not a fan of feeds that are entertainment or content consumption based. I just want

Value of the content is what drove me away. I tried with much effort to weed out memes and garbage content via the share feature. I'm interested in personal photos and status updates(not twitter-esque complaints). But I had little to n

Agreed. I'm far more concerned about how I behave at the local pub.

I don't think your last statement is accurate. While the device is "listening" for the trigger words, it's not storing information. It only collects information you call upon it for. You do need to actively engage. I hav

The device is not a bunch of strangers. There's no humans listening to "your" conversation. Though they may be listening to anonymized clips. The activity stored is also your own to control. I think such privacy concepts are

I don't think this is a new development, privacy in voice assistants is the equivalent of your browser's search history. If anything, that made me more conscious of privacy than anything else. Our kids know I can see anything they

I live with my 6 & 9 year old nephews. I set up a Google Home in their bedroom and some in the common area's. It's been very interesting to watch them use it. The 6 year old's pronunciation is not perfect and I could see

Absolutely. It's a thing among most ideologies. But I see the term "progressive" itself as positioned where opposing views aren't progressing society. Which is a sort of moral high ground. But, that's looking too fa

I'm only 27. Still lots of adulting to learn over here. Regular visits to the diner is one of the best habits I've made when working remotely. Helps ease the isolation of remote work. I'm not too comfortable working away from

First, I recognize we're painting with a broad brush here. I wouldn't call it supremacism. But too often I find "progressives" see themselves a moral high ground. Often dismissing nuanced conversation for a "winner&

This is my situation. Worked in DC. Now I live in the Fingerlakes Region of NY and work remotely as a support engineer. I'll echo others points: * If you _start_ remote, your salary will be lower for your area. Aim for a transition or

If we lived in a world where cable was the primary form of media consumption, I wouldn't think ad regulation was silly. Like you said, we live in a new era. I think the idea of that regulation feels antiquated with the near unlimited c

Slippery slope is not in regards to ad length. It's about the desire to regulate "sustained gameplay" mechanics in games. You act as if the only media you can consume is via cable. There's virtually unlimited options in

I think it's a poor comparison. Equating ads to playtime? Sure you can tangentially involve DLC as an "ad" but it's a big stretch. Regulating length of ads is silly too. You can just purchase the show and watch it with n

Regulation of media consumption is not a path I'd care to go down.

By this logic, we better start regulating sports and exercise too! After all, it's an addiction!!! * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exercise_addiction I would equate trying to regulate against "sustained gamep

You jump to regulation as the only thing to solve this? You could just not play those games. There's literally thousands upon thousands of alternatives that don't do this.

I think energy would be the answer for many people. Seems easy to become demotivated from corporate work and let that leak into your side projects. Not that I disagree with you. But I've run into the problem myself. I think what you st
