If you use Gmail, there's also nothing stopping them reading the emails on the way through.
If you use Outlook, there's also nothing stopping them reading the emails on the way through.
If you use Yahoo, there's also nothing stopping them reading the emails on the way through.
If you use virtually any email provider this is true.
I just wish the bureaucracy in so many levels of government was vulnerable to change. It seems like bureaucracies are quite resistant to change because the system fundamentally lacks a structure for improving itself. It reminds me of how GM's poor management style and lack of respect for its workers led to labor strikes and entire facility shutdowns. Eventually they teamed up with Toyota to form a new facility [1] that used Toyota's style of continuous improvement. They managed to increase production while making workers happier to work there, in part because management listened to employees at all levels and empowered them with the tools to directly influence change. A worker thought a part could be made faster a different way? Perfect, just show a team leader and send it up the chain. Constant improvements were being rolled out and it was the respect for the individual's capacity to think that drove the improvement IMO.
I wish we had levels of government that worked the same way. Dedicated pathways for suggesting, researching, and implementing organization-wide improvements that can change everything, even the structure of the organization itself. Seeing our lack of reasonable governance just frustrates me.
This is very much up for debate. Elected officials actually have free postage and can send letters if they need to. Not only that, they likely enjoy direct access to their local news networks and can broadcast messages through that avenue. Most have email lists, and can send interested constituents updates through that platform. Most also have websites on official .gov accounts where they could host press releases as well.
Not everyone has a Twitter account, and I think you need to seriously reframe your perspective if you think it is the cure-all for delivering news to constituents.
- Completely redesigning their UI two times over,
- Launching a subscription-based service (which seems to make it the first social media network without ads)
- Lengthening tweets to 280 characters
- Letting users make money off their following (super followers)
I'm confused as to how any of this makes it stagnant.
So many people compare twitter to the national government (even Elon) and make the case that their censorship is akin to a violation of free speech. I would say they need a civics class more than anything.
But in terms of a nationalized social media network, I can't imagine it going well. The lack of innovation in the government would probably mean the site gets overwhelmed and taken down shortly after it was made.
I really love how certain execs spend the time to read and respond to their emails. Tim, Craig, and all the C-level employees must be incredibly busy, so it's pretty refreshing to see that they're responsive.
> About a decade ago, Columbia University scientists proposed that a different type of UVC light, known as far-UVC light, would be just as efficient at destroying bacteria and viruses but without the safety concerns of conventional germicidal UVC.
Why does everyone keep calling this "new"? I've seen it published in articles seemingly everywhere within the past few days. It's not a new technology;
Boeing was prototyping this in their fleet several years ago[1].
An interesting article, but I do wish we would see the 'inevitable' ending of Putin's hold on Russia happen soon. All I see are opinions on how Russia is being brought to its knees from sanctions and how it is crushing underneath the pressure-- and yet Ukraine is still being invaded with more and more force.
What are you talking about? This article is praising Apple for a smooth feature rollout. He gave a rather honest mention of an older botched rollout, but I don't see any bashing at all.
I've heard nothing but bad things about the housing market in California. It makes sense that development is going to be hard when you have so many stakeholders for each and every plot of land, but still.
I remember reading about how single individuals and families will sue entire developments and usually succeed in stopping them [1]. Can't imagine the frustration that developers and government officials have to deal with.
It's not a security measure because the original comment spoke about how they couldn't even search for the login inside of the autofill icon. I've had that issue too and it's very frustrating. Yes, it makes sense not to show it by default, but to disable any sort of search functionality inside of their new autofill UI is annoying.
Edit: This was not an issue before 1-2 years ago when they pushed massive feature updates. It used to be Ctrl+\ or Cmd+\ to autofill and boom, the login was filled. But NOW they have decided to drop a "1Password X" browser extension that throws itself into every single login item on the web and constantly harasses the user any time they use keyboard shortcuts to navigate. Typing an email address and see your Firefox/Chrome/Safari autofill show up with a dropdown of emails to choose? You can't even use the arrow to go down and choose one; 1Password X will rear its ugly head the minute you hit the arrow down, and it'll either prompt you to autofill something or save what you just typed into 1P.
It causes developers to raise prices, which hurts the user. The user does not know why the prices went up, or that they can purchase outside of Apple for a significantly cheaper price.
It's also not right to say that this is fine since users still use Apple. Remember when Apple said they would introduce CSAM scanning into iOS? Was their entire userbase going to ditch them and move to Android? Definitely not. But they still retracted the move after constant negative press coverage and outrage from consumers. Some of us still want to use these platforms but are upset at Apple precisely because they can change.
