You can see the details for that here: http://dryden.ny.us/information/dryden-municipal-broadband-s...

It's unfortunate that many states have passed legislation to block municipal internet. Corporations such as Spectrum, Comcast, etc. should not have that sort of lobbying power, but yet, here we are.

Am I suggesting we continue with this level of rigor for cleaning after the pandemic has ended? No. But it does highlight how much "healthier" we can be as a society with a little more emphasis on general hygiene.

My company uses Google for calendar but I still use the native Apple Calendar app on both macOS and iOS. Am I missing something groundbreaking that requires using GCal natively?

I think a good middle ground here is an opt-out approach on Apple's end. Force the user to make a cognitive choice here with a clear understanding of what their choice means. Communication is key.

Some users may very well appreciate and value the hyper-relevant advertisements they see on services, and remain opted-in to the sharing of tracking data.

I personally know many people who have bought many things they value greatly that they discovered through advertisements on various social networks.

At the end of the day, it should be the choice of the user; not the system (Apple/iOS, Google/Android, etc.) or the relying third parties (Facebook, etc.)

- Allow All Auto-Play

- Stop Media with Sound

- Never Auto-Play

This can be configured on a global level, or on a site-by-site basis.

Apple isn't forcing anything here.

> Preliminary evidence suggests two strains of SARS-2-CoV circulating: one associated with milder illness (~30%), the other with severe illness (70%).

While mobile internet may be becoming faster, it's still severely hindered by data caps and throttling.

Having that separation helps me "leave work" when it is technically at the same location. It does also require a good bit of discipline because it is easy to slip back into work at any point in the day.

Many argue that you should "work when you feel like it" but I personally find that leads to burn out. If I can keep a regiment that I don't deviate much/at all from, I am mentally healthier.

If a network has shows that look appealing to you, subscribe for a couple months. If there's only one show that looks appealing, buy it on iTunes.

We're never going to have an affordable, legal, pay-once-for-everything model.

Location accuracy isn't always the greatest, particularly indoors; in-and-out connections to wifi/bluetooth are possible when you're on the fringe of its range.

These issues need to be addressed in some form before _true_ automation is given to them.

Passive automations based on location, bluetooth, wifi, etc. stand a good chance of many accidental triggers. Connections are flaky, location accuracy is flaky; without some form of throttling mechanism or way to better control accidental firings, it should remain manual.

If there's one thing I value most about Github today it's the ability to easily discover new projects and human beings; and Github helps tremendously with that whereas Gitlab I feel like you end up fighting the system to discover new and interesting things and people.

It's a quick and easy shortcut to enable the passcode requirement.

I agree that the format is stale, but for some, it's a good form of "background noise"; my wife loves to have the TV on even if she isn't watching it, while reading, studying, etc.

There's also no other real choice if you want live content (primarily for sports). You still need access to your local affiliate channels to watch this content, and for some, an antenna is not good enough or even an option at all.

In addition to reporting wrong directions, you can also report the arrival entrance (ex: moving the pin into a parking lot vs. the entrance to the parking lot)
