I think this will be a key differentiator, Google has been so obsessed with automation that it's painted itself in a corner when that automation is inadequate. Microsoft doesn't have a problem with doing things that don't scale when needed.
It's amazing how daft these guys are, socializing at work is a fundamental way of building better relationships and being able to deep dive into more complex and controversial issues. Humans operate off of trust and treating everyone as an anonymous worker bee is only a recipe for getting basic work done that streams down from management.
Following your logic there should be no ecommerce, since you cant step into a building and establish trust. Also there should be no companies distributed geographically since people cant “deep dive” into “controversial issues”. Such a dated concept and so not fit for modern day.
But the notion that people cant convey ideas while remote shows you either havent worked with experienced people or are inexperienced yourself.
I specifically mentioned socializing at work and working with complex and controversial issues, how does buying something online relate to that? I also never said that people can't convey ideas while remote, the post I replied to made one vague mention of on-site requirements, I made none. Just the implication that on-site leads to better building of trust.
I would never personally advocate for full on-site and I am actually a supporter of full remote work. I just don't pretend it's already perfect and that we can function by just purely conversing about work like we are JIRA ticket machines.
Also, geographically distributed companies will still tend to have the majority of people in a team or sub-team in one area but nothing is 100%. Different geographies usually have different responsibilities. Companies will also do all kinds of other methods of team building that is mostly social to compensate like flying everyone to a singe location occasionally or remote activities.

I might blow your mind but there is a whole spectrum between being stuck with colleagues in an office 2000 hours a year and being an anonymous working bee
Yes, there is a spectrum to everything and my comment was not absolute about working hours either. I was not proposing we go to the office full time, simply that socialization at work is a core piece of building trust at work which is fundamental to deep collaborative efforts.
And the implication obviously is that socialization works better in person, but I didn't say it was exclusive to that. The person I responded to did say something about on-site requirements but it was vague.
You only get 15 days to return it and a lot of us wait until the next patch to see if that fixes issues which are on a monthly cadence now. Unfortunately after buying so many Google devices unless some major changes happen I won't be buying another one.
It's not about being comfortable it's about plausibility, the cultures depicted in fantasy lore tend to be highly homogeneous and isolated to small geographical areas. If the show was demonstrating something like the Roman Empire it's more plausible, kind of like Game of Thrones.
Very true, browsing websites without AdBlock is already horrendous we can't allow it to bleed into the real world. We need to clamp down on ads with legal regulations, everything good is slowly ruined by them. Humans should have the right to live ad free as much as possible.
It already bled into reality. Look at this pic: https://l450v.alamy.com/450v/2g8fn09/an-mta-digital-advertis... It's an MTA customer information billboard in NY: 5% information, 95% advertisement. On this %5 useful space, they have to roll different arrivals, because it is too small to show them all at once. I really wish to the ones, who designed this, to have a lot of money they have to spend on medications.
Haha, I don't mean that there is a single universal size. I was trying to figure out if it's using a propriety seatpost as that's becoming more common.
The sticker/tape solution means you've made the choice to remove the seat post entirely when you move the seat. Since seat posts historically have been greased (to prevent galvanic action between the aluminum seat post and the steel/titanium/?? frame), that can get messy.
Most people, when they stuff their bike into their car, drop the seat post all the way into the seat tube, rather than removing it, and that can peel a sticker off (worst case, inside the seat tube).
On the way to a trip these things are trivial, but at the end of a trip, every little problem is much more likely to get on your last nerve, so finding solutions that take care of future you is a useful investment of problem solving. If it's raining and you're covered with road rash you don't want to deal with your greasy seat post for the 35th time on top of it all.
This bike is designed around removing the seat post so I wouldn't apply rules for other bikes here.
Anecdotally, I have never dropped my seat post even when stuffing a bike in the trunk and neither have my riding partners and a lot of us have carbon seat posts now so we don't grease them. Most of us are simply too iffy to mess with our riding configuration. I'm also sure professional bike fitters wouldn't use a solution that would inconvenience most of their customers. This urban frame lock bike is a very special case and should be treated as such.
