Exactly. I used HomePods to solve this problem. Hey Siri, play my x playlist. Hey siri, stop.

An employee advocacy platform that helps companies amplify their brand reach and thought leadership through their employees’ social networks. It integrates with tools like Slack and Microsoft Teams, allowing marketing teams to easily share curated content that employees can like, comment on, or reshare without needing to leave their workspace or log into LinkedIn.

I’m working on SocialWeaver, an employee advocacy platform that helps businesses scale their marketing and reach by getting employees engaged with social content directly from Slack and Microsoft Teams.

I’m sure many of you were asked to engage with some product announcement, hiring post, or whatever on LinkedIn. With SocialWeaver, we remove all friction from that process by letting employees like, share, and comment directly within Slack and Teams. On top of the core use case, marketing teams also get analytics, employee leaderboards, content scheduling, etc.

UVA does this for households that make less $100K. Hopefully, they’ll follow suit and bump it to $200K as well.

Exactly how I read it. I have an intel model, and the press release felt like a targeted ad.

As a Muslim, I disagree. A business is more than the sum of its revenues. Marketing, research and development, relationship with clients, etc. are all part of the business valuation. If a buyer looks at some business and decides its worth 10x, then that's not haram as long as you're not deceiving them.

Agreed. Been using for a few years and have zero complaints.

I second this. I switched to Apple Maps earlier this year and never looked back. I find the UX, especially when driving in CarPlay mode to be superior to Google’s.

I was raised in Baghdad, I can assure you the person who set this up knows better, but didn’t care enough or didn’t think other people would know what teamviewer is or both.

Yabood — Wed, 02 Aug 2023 19:13:11 +0000

I’m not sure I agree with this. I currently live in Arlington, and used to live in DC a few years ago. I moved here because it is safer than DC but still 10 minutes away from DC, has fantastic public schools, and even more fantastic public parks, much cleaner than most areas of DC, cheaper, tones of restaurants, bars, etc.

There’s a bit more to it I think. Pricing and basic messaging aside, you can build robust applications on top of MS Teams and have complete freedom over the UI, functionality, etc., but you can’t do the same with Slack. In many cases, MS Teams can replace Slack, but Slack can’t replace Teams.

This won’t be a problem once you can feed it an entire solution. I suspect we’re not too far from being able to do that.

I think its both. Per OP, the process of producing their art no longer takes weeks when using AI, therefore, less people will be needed.

Yabood — Thu, 02 Feb 2023 15:05:30 +0000

We have a business that relies on the Twitter API. I don’t mind paying to access the API, but the way they’re handling this makes me want to deprecate support for Twitter entirely. I am only learning about this change from this thread. Even worse, we only have 7 days to react.

I think you’re confusing religion with cultural practices. Islam allows cousin marriage, but doesn’t encourage it.

All valid points, but let's not forget that development teams are a major contributor too.

This is a plausible explanation considering that the drop in market share is not that big. It would be interesting to compare the numbers from the past two years.
