I just saw GitHub Projects for the first time as a result of this link. It looks like it has several of the key features of Asana, which is the project management tool that my very small web publishing consulting firm uses.
In terms of whether companies that are inclined to use web-based project management tools would drop what they are using and adopt GitHub Projects, I think the most likely candidates to do that would be companies where a great deal of the creative work already flows through GitHub and a huge percentage of the staff is in GitHub for some reason every day.
I don't think we would adopt this for work with clients. To the extent that our clients have GitHub as part of their toolset, the only people using it are software developers and engineers on the system administration - devops continuum. Our use of Asana is for things like project communications and high level time management, i.e. when will we hit a milestone.
HOV lanes, special toll lanes, driverless vehicles, new alternative means of transportation that never quite materialize, etc., don’t cut it and never did.
The late Zig Ziglar, a great motivational speaker and life coach before that was a thing, often said, "You cannot be a wandering generality in life. You must become a meaningful specific."
Giovanni Rose is more than halfway to where Zig Ziglar would want him to be. Now he needs some luck, which may have come to him in this opinion piece by Aditya Chakrabortty.
For those of us who have made it to a level where momentum takes us to more good things rather than further along a path of obscurity, maybe we should read this story and consider if we've done everything we can to help people we've met who have the potential to be like Giovanni Rose, but have not yet articulated what makes them meaningful.
My reaction to this article is that I believe the Alexa platform represents one of the few where Amazon.com has an ecosystem with the depth that Apple typically when their respective products reach maturity.
Apple News has the complete article at https://apple.news/ANRRWdjsrPEW3QIouD9dSnw. (I subscribe to Apple News+ through Apple One. Not certain if it's free for everyone or just for subscribers like me.)
I want to use Apple Pay wherever possible, because I find using Apple Pay on my Apple Watch at retail point of sale to be incredibly convenient.
I use Apple Pay all the time at Wawa, Wegmans, Target, and Apple stores, as well as some fast food and quick serve restaurants. I generally can't use Apple Pay at Home Depot or Walmart.
One use case for this is places like Pennsylvania where you typically need to produce a government-issued ID to purchase alcohol.
In 100%-proof-of-ID stores, cashiers often don't look at the photo on the ID, they scan the bar code on the back of the Driver's License that's presented.
Why not use the Digital ID in an Apple Wallet in those situations?
Lots of people in mid-career who are technologists are experts in use of systems that are declining in importance. The question is, can those people learn skills and become experts in systems that are in greater demand?
But what does "reluctance among workers to learn new skills" mean for people whose jobs are not as technology-related?
Are they referring to auto and truck mechanics whose skills are with maintaining and repairing combustion engines being reluctant to learn the skills for EV vehicles?
I'm not a professional photographer. I was a digital photography enthusiast from nearly the beginning.
I kept taking photos on an SLR for a while in parallel with digital photography, then I gradually switched over to all digital. Then I stopped taking photos with a purpose built digital camera and started focusing on the photos I can take with my iPhone.
I worked really hard to drive all the digital images I have into iCloud, whether they originated on an iOS device or not. I have a decent collection of photos that came from Kodak PhotoCDs. I could have a lot more photos available in my iClod collection if I invested in a negative scanner.
My biggest use cases for face recognition are for life milestone events for other people. Weddings, graduations, funerals. People who know me often ask me to look for photos of loved ones if we've been at events together.
I could do more than I am doing with the technology. But what I can do without too much effort sometimes surprises me.
Perhaps reports like this one were one impetus for the law passed by California that restricts power consumption by computing devices? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27954946
I found this document published by Intel which has all sorts of technical information about "CEC Friendly Motherboards" that appears to describe the regulatory framework that rules out sale of certain computers to customers in those six states, https://processormatch.intel.com/Resources/Program%20for%20C....
My wife is a primary care doctor in the United States. Saying that disqualifies me in some people's minds from having an opinion about the quality and cost of health care in this country. But I am willing to give an opinion regardless.
There are plenty of medical practices and institutions that function well and deliver good value to the patient. But there are many that do not.
As someone who doesn't have friends inside the health care industry, it can be extremely difficult to figure out what to do in an emergency. Quite often your options are limited especially if you are caring for a loved one rather than yourself.
The best advice I can give is to find good doctors before you need them, and when conversations come up about someone else's medical care, be willing to ask, who is your doctor and how good are they? Or, which hospital did you go to, and do you feel you had a good experience?
Often there is little out-of-pocket difference between the cost of excellent medical care and lower quality care, if you have good insurance.
If you don't have good insurance and you are looking at a potentially significant medical procedure, ask to speak to someone about financial assistance. Good practices and good hospital systems are not looking to bankrupt their patients.
I noticed that Project Boards (https://docs.github.com/en/issues/organizing-your-work-with-...) visually look a lot like the Board view in Asana when I'm working in a project based on the IT Project Plan template.
