Maybe a fallback, not that you need one yet, when/if discarding is an issue, make a ring that has less functionality but isn't as obtrusive. The cool kids keep their Jewelbots in their bag but a ring lets them know of some activity.

I have an answer... of course they're work but the language detection isn't automatic. You have to run the app first but if you have a Pixel 2 phone, it will run the app for you when it detects a different language. Or so the ad reads...

Pardon if this was asked but it's not clear to me, since they are Bluetooth, wouldn't they work with any device that also runs Google Translate?

As I'm local to you, I'll add that a Nob Hill Foods is in Alameda, a higher rent location, with a Foodmax on the Oakland side.

I used to be frustrated that I would go to work, code for the better part of the day and not feel my project was moving to the end.

I dedicated myself to finishing this sentence: "Today I accomplished....". Basically the same as finishing or doing one thing a day. Just like you I usually ended up with more than one thing, but I wouldn't leave for the day until I could finish that sentence.

It changed my life.

Would you agree or disagree that YC looks for high value potential more than just a successful start up? I'm thinking of the top post here and that's prompting my question.

Thank you. You got it exactly right, I knew I would have to look at myself in the mirror every day. I remembered what my mother, an amazing manager, taught me... the 5 most important words when managing people: "Never FK with people's money".

I came back to CA for a job. I quit after 3 weeks when I was told that a big part of my job was to lie to the employees about their paychecks being secure.

I took a part time contract but it was cancelled in 2008 do to the economic downturn. I couldn't find work. I moved all my stuff into storage and lived in my car.

I now own a home in Oakland with a great job at a great company.

I have noticed over the years that good customer service comes from the top down. If the CEO doesn't give a crap, that attitude slides downhill to the people actually talking to customers.

I'm not sure which which service for finding cheap airline tickets was posted here, HN will jump on this for me I'm sure, but I recall them saying from day 1 that CS was their focus.

As I set up my own service based business I got a CS phone number and when asked why before I have customers, I said: "We need to be ready to respond to issues long before we're needed".

There are a lot of these types of services and if I were at one, I would make customer service my hallmark. This seems like a no brainer to me, and yet it seems farther down the priority list for most of these delivery companies.

Is there a reason why they all seem to have the same blind spot?

I'm sure we're not, but Twitter still feels like it's at the 1.0 version of the user experience.

I can't catch that before it triggers a "call" to Apple to very the code and do something else? I'm thinking of rerouting to a feature inside my app that's special to users of that code.

Am I right in assuming that we could use this in our apps to do different things other than a promo?

Meetings and sub-committee hearings on Space Command... but no time for the same on healthcare... Not trying to start a discussion, just noting the irony.

I agree with the value you're talking about, but they don't help evaluate how hard a game is.

And if they used the same people, they get better at playing the game, it gives the appearance of a game that is easier than it actually is.

I said it for years... acceptance by mainstream will be AR then VR.

I use my Alexa also for listening to Baseball which, correct me if I'm wrong Internet, Home can't do.

So basically, she thought it was OK to make fun of students when they asked a question that had been asked already. Wow, so sorry I missed being in her class...

Boss: I only want to hire the guy who worked on XXXX Project. me: That project was 2 years late and 1.2 million over budget. Boss: Still, he did something right.

I'm no lawyer but I understood "fraud" to be misrepresentation. Who is being defrauded? The passenger pays one price, the company pays the driver and takes a bit of that fee. The company is defrauding the driver by not telling him the full fee the passenger is paying? If they word it such as: "A % of the fee and other fees", I don't see fraud. Not a lawyer.. feel free to correct me.

Respect is a two way street, agreed. The other person decides if it's rude to THEM. You decide for yourself if something is rude. The knight will decide for himself if it is rude to not call him Sir. I think it's wrong for someone to say it's NOT rude to NOT call him Sir. It should be up to THEM.

As I said, it's rude to THEM. My point is that you are deciding that you are not rude, when you shouldn't be the judge in this case.

>Note that none of this means I'd be rude

Not calling a knight Sir, is rude to THEM. They earned it,they were recognized for their achievement. To not call them Sir is rude.

My first thought was: Ut oh, someone is going to get a call from a lawyer with an English accent...

I use the phrase "Moving the ball forward" and I apply it to all meetings. Even if there is an agenda, I ask this question. If this is a status meeting I often don't go. Before the meeting ends I ask: "How did we move the ball forward in this meeting?" And if the answer is we didn't, we stay seated.

I agree, this felt like "Breaking News" to be followed by a much longer report later. Let's hope that happens.

I think 40 hours of interviews is to much, I agree, but I think he meant 40 hours of just looking in general. That's a combination of interviews, in person and phone, and the rest of the time looking at job boards and networking.

Then again, maybe you meant that too... :)

I wasn't a Project Manager at all. Scrum Masters need to enforce the team rules and do so without being a boss. If they aren't leaders, if they aren't coaches, you're not getting as much out of your Scrum Masters as you can.

But it wasn't true that they were losing money in all the markets they pulled out of.
