Or making a bumpy wheel, which is what I expect the MS Office 365 version to be. Whatever it is, it has to beat Trello AND be worth the license.

The fact that it is advertising the "waze" to get around, they should know how well lit it is, what the incline is, etc etc etc. It's doing half its job.

Battery usage, lag, crashes, app and OS freezes, general performance. It won't be a utility until my $600 phone can withstand casual usage. I'm hip to the jive at 29 and can learn the interfaces quickly. The brogrammer doesn'

I mean I get it. I really do. And you're right, especially about attention (advertising). But the goals are different. And twitter is failing.

Uh. Twitter is instantly public and indexed by google. Snapchat content goes away. They have very, very different goals. That said, it's easily agreeable that Snapchat the app is a flaming pile of brogramming.

What's to "hate" about android? When is the last time you used one? Android has closed the Gao with iPhone, and surpassed it in many ways.

Yup, hence my "actual choice in software" bit. Generally it seems all you do with iPhones is lease them from Apple.

The Pebble watch can communicate with a smartphone, and uses voice-to-text for SMS responses. I imagine a similar implementation could be used for Alexa. The bigger hurtle may be the lack of speakers on the watch.

My thought was the OP has an Apple Watch, thus obviously an iPhone. If they want to buy into the Pebble ecosystem, it'd be a better experience with an Android phone, not to mention you get amazing features like an external battery and

Pretty sure the core isn't always on. On top of that, the Core is probably less capable than your cell phone - which could already be listening to you 24/7. You'll trust Facebook, Microsoft, Google, and Apple in your pocket e

The parent comment suggested the burdens of wealth are somehow bad and we should all aspire to be BI paupers. At least, that's what it sounded like.

My point is this: universal BI requires some level of population control (to prevent poverty and misery), and eventually some level of reproductive planning. Universal BI leads to universal resource control.

In practice this doesn't actually work because the organization doesn't have freedom to re-invest. Once the government can come in and say "we deem all this money in excess, so we will confiscate it". What if that happen

"Object to the burdens of wealth." I'd rather have the burdens of the wealthy than the poor. Losing money or whatever seems less of a burden than starving or freezing to death.

No need to begin name calling because you disagree with his point of view. Next time, try contributing to the debate instead. Follow your own lead.

Except "collectively" is very misleading when you're taking the capital gains from say, 20k employees of a tech company and re-distributing it to 300M / 6 Billion people. Generally I agree that being fed and housed will
