Or they just don't want to take on the burden of getting you to improve. PIPs are a pain for everyone involved. If a manger hands out anything lower than "Meets Expectations", their next step is to help you get there, or gather enough data points for HR to safely see you out the door

I went with Shapr3d, originally on the iPad but I believe they have a Mac version now as well. I've found it fairly intuitive for my light complexity projects.

There's a native reader in the Drive app. It's a nice integration actually, allowing for quick management of the file in Drive, keeping it from vanishing forever in my phone's "downloads" folder

Thanks for connecting these dots! You've put words to a situation I've experienced before but never fully grokked

I had to do a double take on the author name. I didn't realize Seth had moved but it certainly seems like a great fit.

Austin is also the home of Whole Foods HQ. The HQ store downtown has often been their pilot site.

Every time I see Cloudcraft, I wish it was available for GCP. I think it's a fantastic way to visualize interconnected systems

I just switched to Project Fi this month. The service has been totally acceptable and the support has been really helpful. Before today's announcement I found myself constantly checking the Project Fi app to see how much data I had used, something I never did on my old provider. This change is much appreciated. I'm especially a fan of them simply rolling this out, no need to opt in. The only way I would know of improved plan options on my old provider was by having a conversation with a sales rep after a support call. I do wish the price per gig was slightly cheaper but I'm comfortable with the increased cost for the improvement of service.

Thanks for the clarification! I've signed up to be notified when Spanish is added and will give it a shot

I've always wanted to be fluent in a second language and have tried in the past, but I always end up with the same problem.

While I recognize that the only way to gain conversational skills is to actually have conversations, they terrify me. Engaging in small talk with strangers in my native language is hard enough. Trying to do it in a second language seems impossible. Even watching the demo video from the link, all I could think was "this is awkward".

I would almost rather there be a sort of script or game around the conversations, so they're not relying on my ability to be interesting while also trying to do it in a different language.

Does it have a good shopping list? I've had a Home since they were released and used to use the shopping list feature all the time when it was backed by Keep.

At one point they moved it into some web app that I could only access from my phone by spelunking through the Home app. Has that changed?

When it worked, it was great.
