Fortunately those transit systems are densest in the urban cores so that may not be such an issue.

stoly ,

It's so nice to have everything within a 5 block radius. Everything I need is there. No cars, no traffic, just lots of constant exercise and fresh air. When I want to go to a museum, I go to a museum--no gas, driving, parking. When I want to go to a concert, I jump on the subway and go to a concert. But go on, tell us how living in suburbs and breathing the fumes from the car in front of you is better.

stoly ,

This is me. I can just go outside and do the things, then I'm back in time for my next meeting.

stoly ,

Your bosses are idiots, gotcha.

stoly ,

LOL I can't believe I just watched someone "both sides" the RTO argument.

stoly ,

You really are invested in this topic, it's odd.

stoly ,

You don't deserve to be downvoted for your reasoned opinion. I do really disagree with you, though, and think that people will look on the pre-pandemic times with a similar eye to the 1500s. Just backwards.

There are certainly jobs that will always be in person--healthcare could be a good example. Most probably don't need them for any reason at all. The real question is deciding which is which.

stoly ,

This is me. No distractions = more work getting done, more time to think on emails and project plans, etc. In the office, I go home exhausted by the 15th person that interrupted my train of thought that day.

stoly ,

I've seen others make this argument in other threads. It really does tell me that people view this in a very different way. It does seem to me that you find the chance encounters and social aspect of the job to be beneficial. A lot of people, myself included, find those to be exhausting, in the way, and detrimental to mental health. At home, all that overhead disappears and I can just do my work.

stoly ,

I love when people invent something then complain about how dangerous it is. It really hits you in the feels.

stoly ,

2/3 of Americans overestimate how much AI can do.

stoly ,

But "future" in this case is surely 20 years or longer. People have been working on this since the 1950s, progress is very slow.

stoly ,

lol nice

stoly ,

lol someone who doesn't know the disaster that is IoT downvoted you over that

stoly ,

Because it is very dangerous and people will absolutely let their toddler play next to the lamp. This is why it's basically only used in places like hospitals where access can be controlled.

stoly ,

It's not as if every part of your house has exposure to direct sunlight. They aren't made for use in houses, though. Think more like hospital rooms or classrooms on a cycle when nobody is around.

stoly ,

APIs are, by nature, open. Anyone can use them. The business bros don't like this fact and are using lawyers to express their distaste for people using their product as intended.

stoly ,

It would still require a lot of time and hundreds of thousands of dollars in lawyers.

stoly ,

Sadly, those who care about ethics is a small number. See Reddit as a good example. You and I go "this company sucks, I'll spend my money elsewhere." Most people go "ooh, monkey like shiny" and that's the end of it.

stoly ,

It was the only thing I ever used Twitter for. Then it stopped working as I think a lot of companies stopped caring. Then Musk came along and I closed my account.

Ubisoft Exec Says Gamers Need to Get 'Comfortable' Not Owning Their Games for Subscriptions to Take Off (www.ign.com)

Ubisoft Exec Says Gamers Need to Get 'Comfortable' Not Owning Their Games for Subscriptions to Take Off::An executive at Assassin’s Creed maker Ubisoft has said gamers will need to get “comfortable” not owning their games before video game subscriptions truly take off.

stoly ,

And if anyone needed to know whether these companies are run by entitled idiots, this is the proof.

stoly ,

There may be enough of a super fan base to keep their titles alive even if they never innovate again.

stoly ,

I'm somewhat a fanboy of Apple but this would ruin it for me. No way you could get me to step into the state with the lowest quality of personal liberties in the country.

stoly ,

LOL I've always said that beer waffle Tuesday and a Foosball table aren't worth working with entitled idiots.

stoly ,

I dunno, you really come across as an engineer who doesn't like to use Zoom or Teams. Yes it can be easy to point at a piece of paper in front of someone, but there's nothing to stop you from getting on a call a couple of times a day for a few minutes each.

stoly ,

People on my team have a question, I start up Zoom and we chat for 5 minutes. I have a question for my boss that's too big for Slack? Well we'll just Zoom for a few minutes.

You definitely don't want an ad hoc ticketing system, but nothing wrong with ad hoc meetings, especially if you're trying to capture the random encounters that occur in the office.

stoly ,

For me, security is really the only question here. If you want to, you can find a way to sideload things. But once you have an entire app store out there, suddenly a whole new avenue of attack has appeared that didn't exist prior.

stoly ,

LOL this is not a hypothetical. there are already bad apps in the regular app store. now you have two.

also Android has nothing on the security posture of Apple.

stoly ,

Less than you I guess?

stoly ,

I just want you to envision a moment where the opportunity for two bad things happening is worse than one.

Honestly I really don't get the anger here except that everyone has decided that opening the floodgates is the only way forward.

stoly ,

I know that you mean that sarcastically, and I agree. In the end, they could be happy with some passive income on old IPs but decide to be greedy instead.
