There's always Alt+Tab. Keep an innocent-looking window open in the background and use keyboard shortcuts to instantly switch to it when someone approaches. Keep your reading/writing window itself small, with a small font. Read an

Good article. Says they're already using some solutions that have been raised in these comments, like recovering (some of) the water used and moving some cargo by rail (to meet weight limits).

If the company employs people full time or does critical work for its customers, then even the owner should be redundant to some degree! Maybe a chain of command where top employee(s) could step in and keep things running for a while.

I like my dog, but I don't plan to ever own another. Besides money, she costs a lot in time and convenience. Food and water. Walk her morning (feel bad if I sleep in too long), noon, and night. Brush her and vacuum often (sheds a lot).

Entire article? Did you read it all? That was brought up early on, but the rest of the article focused on other reasons why bank robberies spiked (e.g. cocaine) and why they declined again (e.g. less coke usage, harsher sentencing).

The article says 40% of online shopping goes through Amazon and 2/3 of US adults have Prime. If you don't sell there, you're giving up most of your business and leaving that opportunity for another seller. It's not optio

Great. Pretty soon I'll be able to say "Computer, enhance!" and it'll hallucinate whatever details I ask for in my JPEG.

So the justification seems to be that it's a special Edge feature that will open the browser side-by-side with the original email/Teams message. But that's completely separate from users' default browser preferences. The

It would be best not to change what the buttons do very much. It could add unnecessary levels of confusion. "OK, I think I hit the wrong button, and now I'm not sure what mode the system is in... better look down at the controls w

Thanks for sharing. I've heard they're good, but comments like this and my firsthand experience with other publications makes me feel better about not subscribing to anything.

Sounds like good advertising! If these companies are trying to sell hardware corresponding to this software, then having a callout right in the software's README is a great way to attract people who are discovering the project through
