I really want to ask them how they think 'The Cloud' works to figure out how on earth they think it's decentralized in any way, shape, or form.

Unless they think having Cloud services being offered by a couple of giant companies rather than one is considered "decentralized".

Oh, well if you have someone of higher authority to enforce its continued and proper usage, then obviously that's a different story.

I was originally commenting from the perspective of the plug-in as a self-help tool where its usage and existence in the browser was determined solely by the users themselves.

In a household setting, I could see it being useful in preventing kids from spending too much time in front of the computer.

I can see people adding this plugin thinking it's a good idea at the time of download.

Once the functionality kicks in and they're actually blocked when attempting to access Netflix, 'instant uninstall, proceed with Netflix binge..'.

or ... git commit -m "garbage commit. Give me Netflix!"

It's not possible to implement some type of anonymous feedback system?

My company sends out periodic anonymous surveys as an attempt to garner feedback from the employees.

The only problem I see is if employees, for whatever reason, don't believe such a system is truly anonymous and thus refuse to give honest feedback. I don't see that being a common trend though.

If so, it probably signals more serious problems between employees and the higher-ups ...

Wow, that's freaking awesome. Definitely using this from now on. Thanks!

With the people he's chosen so far to take on positions within the cabinet and various agencies, I have a really bad feeling about what's coming.

Wonder how all those people who believed him when he said he was going to "drain the swamp" feel now...

Is it every 10 minutes?

I haven't downloaded the app myself. However, I was under the impression the 'virtual walk' was some separate feature that when turned on, allows the person to monitor your whereabouts in near real-time. (like could watch a tiny dot moving on a map as you walk).

One update every 10 minutes is way too infrequent. I feel like the majority of walks people could use this with would take less than 10 minutes ...

It's definitely not going to be one to one job replacement, not even close.

Software can be write once, run everywhere. You could replace thousands of cashiers with software written by a team of 10 software engineers.

Maintenance of hardware/software could be taken care of by a few people running to multiple stores throughout the day. Example would be Starbucks in San Francisco. There is a Starbucks nearly every block in the inner-city. You could just have two guys walk from store to store to perform checks/maintenance.

So yes, I see big possibility of thousands of service workers being out a of a job due to automation. Which is why a lot of people are saying we need to seriously consider something like universal basic income for the near future ..
