You seem to be looking for a quick solution. Are you open to building something better over time?

Almost like they were human. Is it better for them to just be ideal symbols than something real and complicated?

You may have missed the last where they said the stove had five burners. Did your grandma’s have that?

Might as well go for it. There will be more updates in the future.

Slop is material thrown together without care. Clearly we don’t see that here when the content looks pretty good already to me and the creator is asking for feedback to make it better.

Valve is here to revive the LAN party!

Probably being able to go in bike lanes, shoulders, sidewalks, between cars, and other places where normal vehicles can’t go. Generally this would be more flexible and nimble in last mile delivery.

Re-reading this, maybe your standards for “content” you consume are too high. The people around you tend to be average or uninteresting and that’s normal. Get better friends or be better as a friend and have something to do or talk about.

I’m curious to hear this about what someone may be doing alone that strictly isn’t “social interaction”. Normally I would think that they are doing something that only requires one active participant – maybe reading a book, watching shows, browsing the Internet, even something like taking a bath and enjoying a candle.

I might consider each of these to actually involve other people outside of that moment who you are experiencing asynchronously. The media is written, the candle is made, they were bought from a store. Not sure if I would count the bath water yet, but there was some work done before even laying the pipe and collecting the materials.

Unless you are literally making everything from raw natural materials, other people are deeply involved in our lives and I don’t think we appreciate that enough about society. So while you would be at least arm’s distance from anybody in your room, I don’t think you are ever really alone.

What isn’t? Everything is growing, decaying, or changing in some way, honestly.

Are you a boss at work of some kind? Maybe your perspective is tied up with some problem you have with your work culture. People are just complicating things when this is actually just so simple, right?

“Seat time” is literally what you are giving them in that situation. You can say that it’s not “time” but I can say that it is because there is nuance and we are doing many things at same time. Being present physically, mentally, paying attention to your surroundings, putting in effort, etc, can in many ways be counted separately. Who’s to say if your way of accounting for time is the “correct” one or whether somebody else’s is?

I think they are saying they would rather depend on software and hardware that they can more or less control rather than cloud services

Get ready for the No Bell Piece Prize Battle Royale. “You want a piece of me?”

Dismissing the article as not being “news” is exactly the same sentiment as the news being “obvious”.

It’s not new information to you, but you are just speaking for yourself. Rather than holding back to avoid annoying people like you, I’d rather things be shared freely to inform the masses.

I wouldn’t call those virtues. Those are values or principles they have, but they don’t reflect high moral standards.
