There are many claims that these community apps end up with multiple reports of the same crime and reports of crimes that didn't actually happen. Not only that, but a lot of urban people have a terrible time distinguishing the sound o

> Crime is spiking in NYC right now and it's not really a priority to report it. How can you know this? If it is not being reported, you must be relying on anecdotal reporting? Reddit, nextdoor, facebook?

That sounds like a good work environment. My company decided that we would likely have to go remote-only about 6 weeks ago and asked people to start planning out how to make it happen. One of the things was to redo all deadlines with the e

You are absolutely right. It's a very difficult problem to solve, and the current situation makes it far more challenging. But knowing that you are not legally required to stay has to be an improvement.

I appreciate listing the areas in which Zoom beats competitors. It helps people understand where work should be done on alternatives. My company has been remote-only for about 1.5 weeks now and we have 4 different conferencing systems that

Any plan that anyone has right now is not worth the paper it is written on. Things would be a lot better if this was taken seriously months ago. Things would be better if people in leadership positions all over the world were better leader

The results of the census are used for things like federal funding and how many representatives each state gets in Congress. Not counting hundreds of thousands of college students is a pretty big deal!

That's exactly what I imagine. They currently sell two versions of the AppleTV - take the higher one and make it slot below the Mac Mini.

I still think that the AppleTV is where this will start. They now support multiple accounts, have an app store, etc. iOS supports keyboards and mice, and they have a "conference room display" mode that brings them into a busines
