I was using Tower 2 for years, and have been using the beta for a while, and love it. However, I'm really in two minds about the way they've chosen to implement their payment model change... On the one hand, I'm a proponent o

This is amazing, but one thing I don't really understand is this: earlier in the presentation, they demoed some new Google Assistant voices. All of them sound like standard computer-synthesized assistants. On the other hand, the synthe

This kind of system usually comes into place because an organization combines a number of different pieces of software to make a cohesive whole, rather than designing a single all-in-one solution with perfect foresight. While the customer c

Having an opinion is not, and cannot be outlawed. _Expressing_ these opinions out loud in a public forum, however, is a different matter. Hate speech (with its various definitions) is actually outlawed in many places around the world.

This is not true; as in, racism has a clear dictionary definition as "Prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior." (Source: Oxford

Then I think your workplace is in the wrong in this situation. Reasoned discussions not based in bigotry/xenophobia/etc, where both sides are respectful, should definitely be acceptable at work -- they definitely are at mine.

What do you mean by "when not acted upon"? No one is arguing that the OP shouldn't be allowed to _hold_ this opinion, privately and in his own head. I do argue that the _act_ of sharing the opinion with a colleague at work is

Do you find your rights to be impeded when you aren't allowed to own or carry a bomb, either? don't pretend everything is equivalent. The right of two people to have rights and protections under state/federal law regardless o

That's because this view is actively harmful to your colleague who does not consider their gender to be binary. This isn't the equivalent of a colleague telling you they believe gender is non-binary, it's equivalent to someon

Sure, but discussing any of those wouldn't get you fired out of any reasonable job -- at most it might make your coworkers think less of you, but I don't really see why holding an opinion _should_ protect you from the social (i.e.

Have you tried the "toy AR" in new Apple devices running iOS 11? it's quite impressive how accurately it's able to track most environments. Sure, having a known marker makes that process a lot easier, so you can avoid th
