I like your optimism. But I see most people just shrugging their shoulders if they don't see how it could affect them. Long term risk often hard for humans to comprehend.

Right? This is the best way to make the story a non-issue.

The other trick is to add a random string/number in from of the name attribute e.g. name="348349_name". This prevents autofill. Interestingly 1Password and LastPass are smart enough to infer that it's a name or email field.

For the honeypot, random number + word makes it ignored by autofill/1password

You can disable a single input field from autocomplete

`autocomplete="off"`

I mean they were pretty clear they didn't care about the money. Emailing daily to check in on progress is good enough. I've been in a similar situation. The manager isn't really concerned about the money. They just need someone to justify their expenses.

If I'm feeling snarky, I'll say

  "Looks like you've already asked a question there ;)"

A nice way to help folks is to say to them after the exchange,

  "Feel free to ask your question when you ping me so we don't have to do the hello/hi exchange"

I've switched over to Notion. They even have a tool now to transfer all your notes from Evernote. Feels simple to use but has some really powerful features.

Sorry that should have been timers. If I tell Siri to set a timer (while a timer is running) it still asks if I want to change the timer or leave it alone.

Agreed on the kitchen part. Once I moved my google home (mini) into the kitchen it got more useful.

* Setting multiple alarms (why can't apple do this??)

* Conversions

* Food questions

I think it would be rad if I could feed it a recipe and then have it read me the ingredients and instructions for each step. Maybe that exists?

That reminds me of my idea to create "tech" stock imagery that isn't a joke

analogmemory | 7 years ago | on: Facebook Planned to Spy on Android Phone Users, Internal Emails Reveal

From personal conversations with tech folk who don’t work at Facebook, I’d say it’s about the money. Most people say they don’t want to work there, but if the money was fuck-you good, they wouldn’t say no

Agreed, I have it on my desk and during a break I’ll pick a color and learn it’s origins

I really enjoyed the experimental layouts the various stories had. Had an art magazine feel to it.

I have only anecdotal data to support my opinion that this is a truly dumb idea. It really tells of the lack of empathy for people on the street

According to some search results ... it's

Depends on who they lay off, but it does mean they'll have less resources to do investigative journalism.

Hidden Brain had a good podcast episode on the costs of newspapers going out of business.

I don't feel that snake oil salesfolk deserve any empathy.
