But whose line is it anyway is spelled whose because it’s a possessive pronoun. Who’s means who is or who has. Who’s up for some donuts? Whose turn is it to go to the shops? Who’s seen my car keys?

Worker co-ops and ESOPs are already available as business structures. If they’re better, they will be more common, it’s as simple as that. Mandating employee ownership is ridiculous. In terms of policy I think a cap on revenue per employee

Hold on… if you turn off wrist detection then doesn’t that leave the watch unlocked all the time unless you manually lock it which is quite a hassle? For me that’s the only fly in an otherwise pretty delightful jar of ointment.

You can set up your watch using a phone, and then turn the phone off and the watch still works. What doesn't work is SMS messages from non-apple users, because they are forwarded from the phone. I set up my daughter's Apple Watch
