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 to…

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 interac…

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 …

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 usin…

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…

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 …

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! Perfe…

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…

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 entert…

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 updat…

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 fo…

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 t…

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 an…

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 pron…

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…

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 wo…

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 …

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 salar…

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 tha…

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.…

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 ju…
