At least with WhatsApp you do have the contact's phone number, so you can reach them via SMS if necessary.

This article could have been written 10, 20 or 30 years ago with only the slightest of adjustments. We work in an industry with the constant need to learn new things and adapt to new ways of working, this will never change.

I have no idea about your performance, I'm sure you're a great manager. I only noted your word choice because I've seen people talking this way about their reports and it doesn't reflect well on them.

The people who speak like this in my experience typically use that kind of terminology to highlight their own superiority, not realising that it has the opposite effect.

Probably avoid calling people minions if you can. Do you want to come across as someone who manages unimportant simpletons, or do you want to be perceived as someone who manages smart and interesting people? Build up those below you, don&#x

Maybe you mean Dooleys. It's toffee rather than coffee and is typically sold at extremely low end bars and nightclubs in the UK, or at least it was 15 years ago

What possible advantage would there be in doing so? Biden would gain nothing but criticism, be accused of supporting a traitor and so on. Doing the right thing is rarely politically sensible.

Why would they have any loyalty towards wikileaks? What is a useful idiot that has outlived it's usefulness?

Free to the makers of the device though, it's not like they were charging the manufacturers for paid promotions like an Instagram influencer would - they recommended this device to their associates because they thought this would help

The phrase "everyday occurrence" does not mean that something literally happens every day, it means that it happens commonly enough that it's not broadly notable. You derailed this comment thread by quibbling over the specifi

You're right of course, at the time of writing there were only 2 comments in this thread, and both were along the same lines which made the effect seem more pronounced.

One of Putin's defining characteristics is that he does not leave things to chance. Why wouldn't he use every tool and trick available to him in order to secure his grip on power?

I'm sure you didn't intend this, but your comment is strongly reminiscent of this classic Russian political tactic for dealing with criticism from the west: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism

Now we just need a four letter initialism in order to describe this mechanism. Maybe JUDL? (JSON-based User-Interface Description Language), or if we were to switch the representation to something more SGML-like, maybe UIML (pronounced wee-

Latency is the biggest problem with video meetings and I can only imagine it's worse with this. In normal human interaction you can see people's reactions to what you're saying and doing within microseconds of taking an actio

I'm sure aesthetics play a large role too, lidar is not only costly, it's bulky and ugly. To a layman the sole reliance on cameras seems like one of Tesla's biggest mistakes.

You're underestimating the level of breakage here, it's not just a few tutorial sites it's tens of millions of websites, many unmaintained. Like them or not alert(), confirm() and prompt() are key pieces of functionality depe

Do you have any idea how much of the web will break if alert(), confirm() and prompt() are removed? Tens of millions of websites, many of which are no longer maintained will stop working. This is the destruction of the web over a UX issue -

the alert(), confirm(), and prompt() themselves interrupt normal browsing, so I'm not sure what you mean here. They're synchronous so block the main thread, but they also block other user interactions until they're dismissed,
