   I think it could depend on the protections Google (and Apple) puts on this type of thing. You could imagine a scenario where putting a phone into driver's license mode disables Face Unlock, and maybe even pauses all push notifications

   It looks like the comment tag isn't included. (Not sure whether it should be. Not even sure the proper way to identify it, I suppose a single "!")

   I do like this one. Related, I also like the series a few years later with Calvin and Susie haggling over how much it'd cost for him to eat a worm. But these are personal preferences, not a list of an objective "best" comics.

   I think Apple gave it a clear purpose: productivity and media. Basically, it's a giant screen anywhere you go. It's just not that useful, or alternatively way too expensive. But I think they communicated their theory pretty well.

   I don't think they were demanding it work with Firefox. I think they genuinely were interested to learn more about the deficiencies of Firefox.

    Either they ran into a wall investigating and needed public help, or to get victims back what was stolen? Or, it says they expect charges soon, so maybe they waited until the investigation was over. Just a guess, though.

    I can absolutely see the safety argument for distance from a window. Fair! But I will say, as someone who made his windowless basement his bedroom even though I had other options in my home, I love a super dark space to sleep.

    I think our fundamental disagreement is that I view public sector employment as more similar to private sector in the day-to-day than you do. Secondarily, I think you fail to think through what happens when PRIVATE sector workers like hospi

    1. I’m not a public sector worker, weird assumption. 2. I advocate for private sector to unionize as well. I’m not the one who brought up Janus/private sector. 3. You’re telling me people with important jobs (private or public) shouldn

    I strongly disagree with you about Janus. The point of that decision by a right-wing court was to make it harder for public sector workers to stand together in unions. Unions are democratic institutions, with dues and leadership decided by

    I'd be annoyed if my bank did this, or airlines, or anything where I just need to get a task done. For personal websites, I actually think individuality and fun and creativity are good.

    This isn't a criticism, just an observation: I like media of all sorts that matches my mood. If I'm sad, I don't listen to music that cheers me up, I'll listen to the saddest stuff I can find. But this app's approac

    I addressed that point in my original comment, but to add more, they clearly realized that different sized heads and different needs for comfort were such a problem that they bundled it with two different straps (and two different pads). No

    I can’t speak to this case, but generally low wage workers are paycheck to paycheck and so get jobs while they wait for the system to do their thing. They only get paid for loss of income, so it actually subtracts what they earned in that t
