Well, video certainly hasn't replaced it. Maybe one day we will all have devices with the multiple cameras and the signal processing to allow actual eye contact over a video call.
Na I don't think any tech can replace face to face interaction.
> - What is a belief you had as a child that you no longer have? ... Hm, the type of some of these questions resemble the type of the personal questions used for password recovery by some companies. As a paranoid person, I am reluctant to disclose this information to unknown people.
But you should never give the correct answer for password recovery. What is a belief you had as a child that you no longer have? Purple Ocean. And that can be your answer for all the questions: first pet name, elementary school, and so on.
Exactly. You're supposed to use your password manager to generate a second password and use that as your answer. I know this sounds stupid but it is the only way to stay safe.

> What percentage of cops kill innocent people, vs. save you from the bad guys Pretty low I suppose. The point is, we should take every precaution to keep the former as low as possible, preferably zero. The people are not seeing this effort at the moment.
So, you beat up old ladies and burn stores to do that? I don't think anyone wants police killing people, but this is crazy and useless. Also, was there not a pandemic where people were being chased eith drones to social distance? What happened to that?
Hey folks! I built Virus Cafe to help you make a friend in 2 minutes! My goal is to help people stuck indoors because of COVID-19 (or police curfews) to make meaningful connections with strangers. Here's how it works: 1. You are matched with a random partner for a video chat 2. You're given a deep question to discuss. You have 2 minutes! 3. The only rule is: no small talk! Small talk is the worst and I'm on a mission…

> Small talk is the worst and I'm on a mission to eradicate it. To me small talk is the lubricant that makes conversations flow smooth with strangers. You can hear inflections and humor and irony all in a relatively safe, unemotional topic. Also, since your philosophical side is not needed, your emotional intelligence can be more engaged. For example, just by seeing how someone responds to a comment on the weather, y…
PS: I was thinking about a "handshake" analogy first, which is quite funny in hindsight ...

Uhh... this is a side project I whipped together for fun. I'm not blowing anyone off by staying true to my goals with the project. I've responded to feedback by adding an "Extend for 2 minutes" button this morning and I'm working on more right now.
Really nice work, this is impressive and important. I do wish the text chat function only group of people was there. Maybe a future a/b test :)
Don’t want to sully the conversation here, but I want to raise an important point - so @feross, please stick with it. I gave my daughter (6) my iPad for ten minutes this morning and put her on a site to draw minecraft skins. I took a call and took my eyes off the device (but not daughter) for about five minutes while I paced around the room. When I sat back next to her, she somehow ended up on virus Café and was in a…
There's your problem. Just don't do that. But if you can't avoid it, disconnect the internet before you do it.
