Creating new standards is not easy, largely because everyone has to agree that they will use this particular one. Plastering it with endorsements attempts to show that there is consensus and give confidence in adoption. If they didn't put them in, you'd instead say nobody is using or going to use this.
For what reasons? I've used both and never seen such a thing. In fact I'd argue the simplicity and collaboration features of Google Docs gives it an edge.
As a user of all, Google Assistant and Alexa are miles ahead of Siri. Initially I just had Siri, and like you assumed they were all like that. Not the case. No more 'here's what I found on the web' or just not being able to help. Are they integral to my daily life, no, but definitely save time. Siri is just for timers and reminders for me.
Great point. I use both Mac and windows. Love my windows pc, but I have certainly used corporate windows laptops that make me want to throw them out the window - minutes to boot, minutes to open anything, etc. between Mac and windows, they've each got their pros and cons but nothing that would make me choose one over the other.
It's clearly a joke. You've never heard people make corporate inspired comments about normal activities? Never had friends talk about sending them a calendar invite for dinner?
Looks like it's going to be a clone of Partiful which has taken off in the last few years. The big question will be how effectively they make it work cross-platform. If it doesn't provide the same functions to Android users I'll just stick to Partiful, I'm tired of Apple trying to make Android users feel less and social pressure people into their products.
You can email support to get this disabled. Apparently only the business version has a toggle to do it yourself. Regardless I'm much happier having disabled it now
Isn't the reason it highlights that from search because that was your search term? That's what I've seen, in which case I prefer that it does draw my attention to that string
It's fascinating to read multiple comments openly justifying attacks on the UN, saying that if they haven't stopped hezbollah themselves that they are the same as terrorists. Even among this group of generally logical mathematical thinkers, reason is left by the wayside when identity is involved.
Had a similar thing happen to me, but for Facebook. Account got locked, to unlock I needed to verify identity via text. Never received the text because I had disabled getting text fb notifications, which apparently included account recovery. Managed to find this on some obscure thread to text some number to resubscribe and get it to work - no mechanism from fb, no alternate way to verify, no indication that this was the issue.
As a native English speaker, I've actually only heard 'a bad workman blames his tools', not the artist form. Now that I google it, did you mean craftsman? I don't see any references to artist.
Wouldn't be surprised. The 4th largest browser is a mere 2.7% of the market. What about the fifth and sixth? If I had to decide how to allocate testing hours, I probably wouldn't put much into the 2.7% vs the top 3 with 88%.
What actions do you find slow and laggy? There are definitely UX improvements, but I don't find either laggy on the multiple platforms I use them on, as long as I have a good network connection.
Meanwhile, I'm getting pushed away from iOS when I can't customise basic things and the Phone app (you know, the main use of a phone) takes 30s to open, even after restores.
It's a little ironic they are taking the high ground on safe rollout practices when they had an Azure/365 outage caused by a bad config at the same time as the CS incident. Though to be fair, it only affected US central.
Ah yes, the old 'if I don't build the bombs for them, someone else will'. I don't think this is taking the moral high ground, this is saying we don't care whether it's moral, there's demand and we'll build it.
What does Word do better? I feel the opposite, I hate when I have to use Office products. GDocs for my uses has at least feature parity, and collaboration and sharing feels much cleaner.
You realize that is actually a very short list of corruption scandals - 12 over 55 years; and that they were investigated and prosecuted? The list of countries with stronger corruption records is short - this is not a great point to start your argument. And while it's certainly not the best in terms of human trafficking, it still has lower rates than most other developed Western European nations, and the US. I share equal disgust on the Haskell issue, of course.
- Do you have a reference for 'Genital mutilation is common and accepted'? It seems it only occurs in a minority of the also-minority 15% Muslim group, along with male circumcision. Obviously not great, but phrasing is dramatic.
- 'outright murder people convicted of certain crimes' - this is commonly known as the death penalty, which many developed countries unfortunately still practice. The phrasing is certainly dramatic.
- Certainly agree re LGBT. They decriminalized male intercourse recently (though this is more symbolic since it was never prosecuted) so there's progress - it is still a conservative Asian society but seems like leaning Western liberal over time.
