Contrarily I wish people used 'Nx times' more often, especially for 10x in place of 'an order of magnitude'. It's more welcoming and less pretentious.

Unrelated to this current focus on the weakness of using a phone number as a contact reference, I have experienced a different problem. If a user has ever used Signal previously and for whatever reason revert back to SMS, if another user sends them a message via Signal it is lost with no indication. This is a growing problem as people try out Signal and when they get a new phone just forget or don't care to install it again.

it really comes down to what you're building. many web app startups would be better served paying for PaaS that manage this for them. as an example: Netlify/Vercel. if you need a database add FaunaDB to that. if that sounds risky or expensive, consider the cost of building a DevOps team.

The greater issue for this use case is latency. Bluetooth + cellular delay is not a kind thing to impose on your teammates.

If you do this, please use a cabled headset. Bluetooth headsets inevitably add latency, particularly off WiFi. Latency makes meetings more fatiguing.

Happened to me too starting a few weeks ago. What solved it was to turn off Bluetooth, and prevent from activating on start.

This begs a question: what technologies are inhibited by a looser definition of slavery? What inventions would arise if a global minimum wage was enforced?

It's fair to compare what competitors baseline is here, at the risk of whataboutism. I find it surprising not a peep about the culpability Windows has in the equation.

A merger can eat that soul in the same fashion. Such as Boeing effectively becoming McDonnell Douglas.

Would be popcorn to see Epic make a saucy donation to the Godot project at this time.
