Looks like AI slop

If I search for Google it returns a massive dataset because it is also looking at the Google watermark in the street view scraped data.

There is zero incentive for a company to invest in tooling and tech to make processes that lose them customers more efficient. This is something that has to be regulated and enforced. I just don't see a c-suit clamoring to spend money on making it easier to leave.

> Having worked at Google for many years

Perfect person to ask this. What is behind the need to constantly abandon products/services in favor of new offerings that have a fraction of the functionality?

Its small and deliberate. Setting the mental state of the customer to obfuscate the responsible party by throwing in Salesforce. A deliberate dark pattern.

Exactly the reason I use a headset with a boom mic. Flip it up to mute, and back down to activate. Love it.

Their in lies the power of the internet. It exposes who and what wants to control the narrative. This is what needs to be quelled. The need and want for control is toxic and needs to end.

Sure... Who is the hospital billing $69k to, the insurance? Also $2,500 is still a lot.

> Avoiding discussion just because misogyny is mentioned

Its human nature, people will avoid it by not engaging if it just gets thrown around and used to berate without cause.

> when misogyny is, in fact, at every turn

Yes, it pervasive but not at every turn. Case in point, this thread.

> as is avoiding mentioning misogyny because of people doing that.

No one is saying to avoid it. Just saying that it is not helping when you indiscriminately label everything as misogyny.

Claiming misogyny at every turn shuts down discourse and actually hurts progress as people will just avoid all discussion even when it is legitimately misogyny.

Interested to know this as well. I am not sure if pointing to a definition on Urban Dictionary with ~100 thumbs is enough to redefine a word let alone assume that the average person is using it as a dog whistle.

This is BS. I do this daily, and it has nothing to do with validation. I don't post it online but I do send a snap. Its a system that a friend and I have in place, it keeps up accountable to go get some sort of workout in every morning.

I can see someone doing this and posting it online to keep themselves accountable.

I actually really like Microsoft ToDo. Your setup can be as simple as you want or as complex as you need it to be!

This is fun to read but also implies that we have representatives competent enough to even understand things at this level. Maybe they don't have to understand it, I doubt they even consult someone who could help them understand this.

Work for a company that provides software for Walmart among many others, AWS was a no go from day 1. It was between GCP & Azure and Google has a way of not listening to customers so that experiment ended quickly and we're on Azure now.
