In places where you pay upfront at the register and wait for your order, it almost feels like blackmail. Tipping happens at the time of placing the order. Not saying everyone does this but can't be sure that nothing fishy happens if someone tips low/min.

Don't know how big of a home you have but I've been pitched mesh wifi but I realized I didn't really need it (~3k sqft home). My ~$150 Netgear router works perfectly fine. My recommendation is to see if a regular router works for you before you invest in mesh.

My guess is that it's a very different (and difficult) problem to generalize that way. Interpreting intent and taking action are different aspects. Someone needs to write code to call a vendor's API to execute those actions and that's a super specialized action. Next step is probably instruct a CoPilot-like tool to do it.

Important bit buried inside because … clickbait

> We will then begin the hybrid pilot in full on May 23, with people coming to the office three days a week — on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday — and working flexibly on Wednesday and Friday if you wish.

Copilot also optimizes for speed to a degree. It's akin to advanced auto complete. IntelliJ auto-completion is great. As much as it pains to say this, I don't think I will be as effective writing Java in Vim as much as I am with IntelliJ. The key differentiator is the auto complete speed. Copilot I feel is just auto complete on steroids. It may not be perfect yet, but there is definitely a problem it solves.

> proper remote work at Google/Microsoft

Amazon's policy is exactly the same as Microsoft. Is Google proper remote now?

If you are using gmail, you are already giving all of that to google. Google tracks all your purchases. Not trying to contradict your point but just saying that it happens irrespective of whether you use Amazon or not

That's Centennial? I thought I read that in Alaska

It's a common misconception.

I can vouch for this. Although I've been doing this with regular chrome (disabled javascript by default) and I whitelist sites with the click of on icon in the location bar.

I first realised how heavy these pages are when I disabled javascript. Things load in the blink of an eye. \Most\ pages work and the web remains largely usable.

LOL. The second paragraph in the abstract starts with "m this paper a theorem is presented […]"
