My anecdote: I work for a F100 company that's in the midst of a (long) transition to Office 365. In a mid-level engineering staff meeting 2 days ago where we spent 20 minutes discussing the advantages of Teams over Skype for Business, and what could be done to accelerate our transition. All driven by WFH - Office 365 applications don't require a VPN connection in our org, while Outlook/Skype does.
'Regarding the policy of suppressing videos featuring unattractive, disabled, or poor users, Gartner stated that the rules “represented an early blunt attempt at preventing bullying, but are no longer in place, and were already out of use when The Intercept obtained them.”'
I accidentally called one back a few days ago and incoming robocalls have gone through the roof. I have no proof that that's why, but I won't rule it out.
On a more positive note, Hiya has been working really well identifying spam/robocalls, so I don't actually pick them up.
What's "a little extra risk"? A 5% chance you'll die? 1%? 0.1%? Compared to what? Those are actually very large risks when the cost is your life. When the survival rate of using CAPS is an order of magnitude (or more) safer? Use the chute. Not to mention how bad a decision it would be to dead stick if there are passengers on board.
Waymo is still Waymo whether they're running rides on their own behalf, or under the Lyft name. Someone who's ridden Waymo in an early adopter program may make their decision on whether to ride Waymo under Lyft based on that experience.
Lyft has been dispatching Waymo self-driving vans (with safety drivers) in Chandler AZ for a while now. I've opted out of Waymo for my occasional rides with Lyft, so I can't say how frequently they show up. But I can say there are lots of the vans running in the service area.
