Before the pandemic, I was living in London shared flat with my partner and a friend of ours. Had quite a busy social life, working in an office in Soho.
Since the pandemic I have moved out of the city and into a more rural isolated area (Did not see any benefit to paying high rent prices in a city when all the facilities were shut down). All of my work has moved to remote working using video conferencing etc.
Before we would use Slack a lot, but in-person meetings were a common occurence and I would spend quite a lot of time outside of work with friends or colleagues discussing various topics.
Since being in this isolated environemnt I feel that because those interactions are far more rare when they do happen I struggle to recall words or phrases that were once commonplace in my vernacular.
This is all very anecdotal evidence of course, but it's somethig i've observed in myself of a number of occasions now.
During the pandemic, spending more time at home and less time having real social interactions has lead me to beleive I am forgetting some of my vocabulary or at the least not practicing it enough to keep it in what you describe as "Working memory".
Zoom and the like is far from natural and I find myself searching for words during sentences that I know I would not have in the past.
He specifically mentions that he's in the Netherlands in the article.
And based on the writing in the "banking standards" paragraph it appears he understands the difference between debit / credit cards and that banking network they operate on doesn't determine the type of finance they provide
Would it be correct to assume the vending machine only accepts credit as it likely doesn't have a direct connection to a banking system to authorize the payments at time of purchase?
I seem to remember credit being a requirement for making purchases on planes for this same reason.
I'm curious because I live in the UK and pretty much all terminals here accept debit cards, although I think the UK in general has been a bit ahead in terms of payment standards (chip & pin, contactless etc.)
This sort of open tracking with geoIP based location has been around for a while. There are numerous GMail add-ons that provide this functionality eg. Streak there are equivalent's for other clients too.
This is written as if Superhuman are the first people to do this, that doesn't justify the behavior but there are others to blame here and the precedent was set prior to Superhuman's implementation with these email tools
Hi everyone!
This is a quick little Slack bot I've written using Google's new PerspectiveAPI.
Essentially she will analyse all the messages in any channel you invite her to, if a team member breaches the toxicity threshold she will inform them via a DM.
She works on a 5 minute buffer so it should only trigger if someone is being particularly spiteful.
None of the messages are logged or stored by myself or PerspectiveAPI.
In future I hope to extend it to help admins of large slack teams moderate members by informing them of offenders and providing more customisation options
