rolleiflex is referring to the text status along with profile picture. The other new Status feature was added in 2017 when Facebook went crazy adding Snapchat Story like features to all their apps (Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, Whatsapp)
Does it mean that the brand of Amazon is better than the likes of Safeway or Target who sell their own products to compete with more name brand ones? Or it could also be that the brands on Amazon such as the top voted comment here might be smaller brands without enough name recognition to gain the attention of a buyer.
Knowing that discrimination exists while you get into something doesn't make it less discriminatory. Sure they knew what they were getting into, but I doubt they are complaining that they didn't know it was like this.
After you apply for a green card and cross the first step (takes about a year or two), then your H1B visa can be extended indefinitely. So the applicant can continue working. The company doesn't care because in this scenario they have an employee who'll think 10 times about leaving even if they are not being treated well. That's not to say the employee can't leave and join another company who's willing to make the necessary adjustments to the green card process. But it does mean that the applicant is forever in this limbo without freedom, can't plan long term, and has to leave the country in a week or so if he/she loses their job.
The reason I am not considering Apple HomePod is the restriction to the Apple ecosystem. This is what the author concludes as well. Given Apple's history, we will probably never see Spotify integration with Siri. Its integration with Androids is also not as great. I don't think it makes sense even if you're completely in the Apple ecosystem.
I use Spotify for my music on Echo dot. I connect my Echo dot with a 2.1 speaker system. I can get a much better speaker system with woofers and smart capabilities for much lower cost this way. So I don't get the appeal of HomePod if the main draw is its sound capabilities when compared to Echo or Google Home.
You do realize that probably 99.9% users don't go to lengths such as firewalls to secure their data. People are not that tech savvy in general. Even among all my tech friends, no one uses VPNs or firewalls.
It's interesting, an intelligent version of how Any.Do makes you plan your day every morning with the tasks you have added. But why couldn't they build it on top of all the features that wunderlist already provides. It is very basic right now.
No collaborative lists, no assignment of todos, no subtasks, no marking priority of todo, no grouped lists.
One step forward (maybe), 10 steps backward. Why should I as a user care whether an app is new and will improve features over time?
