Legalize and regulate to what extent? Most drugs are certainly not victimless.

Wait until you see the Windows 11 “widgets”. It’s basically doom scrolling as a non-optional feature.

I don’t work in tech (and my question here will prove that) but how does a company lay off 10,000 people without seriously harming their product or ceasing products all together? I…

Dang said he’d do it at one point and then it was never done. I desperately want it for reading in bed (iOS). Some day…

Yes. The biggest companies, with the most political power, believe just that. I pray smaller companies make themselves more competitive by offering WFH but that’s yet to be seen.

I must laugh that Microsoft adopted Google’s work and then leveraged it against them with such force.

How would MSFT react if Google injected a “GOOGLE DOCS IS FREE AND BETTER!” banner on Microsoft365 pages loaded in Chrome? Disgusting tactic.

I don’t work in tech so forgive the ignorance. How is the communication at the DoD (especially the SF-86) not encrypted and why it is sitting on an email server?

+1 for FreeTaxUSA. Simple software, reasonable rates, no dark patterns (that I’ve seen). However, with the slush fund that the government has, I don’t see why they can’t make their…

Amazon kept their war ship moving forward during WFH. Clearly, middle-manager body language/communication/likability doesn’t add real value. Adapt or die, as they say.

3 days is to limit the shock. Then, it’ll be “we have got so much positive feedback, productivity has skyrocketed, we all need to come back full time”.

> Bailout? Why? Because it's not just these "rich" landlords/investors that lose their money. They are pension funds, retirement funds, Teachers retirement funds, public service fu…

I don’t agree and think it’s dangerous advice. You should give people a second chance - depending on the severity of the first chance, of course.

Loss of privacy. I wouldn’t want a third-party knowing I purchased certain medications (even some that are sold OTC).

The online community must: 1. Have a clear purpose supported by strong moderation 2. Have no public-facing reputation features (eg, likes, friends, etc.) Over time, all are doomed.…

I imagine they’re resolve those realities the same way we do: “Start negotiating or prepare to lose thousands/millions”

“I want to believe” is the saying! You hit the nail on the head. Is it aliens? No. But I enjoy entertaining the theory that it might be. It’s harmless and adds mystery and exciteme…
