Good thing you're not in charge of anything..

Easy to get COVID twice when you take no precautions.

You are the problem.

It's easy to make a low-effort joke-comment like this, and obviously Fortune 500 CEOs and billionaires aren't doing any good for the world, but this was a young woman who was pursuing her passion to try to make the world a better place.

The entire company is less than 50 people, and they seem to be trying to do good things.

I think we should try to be more context aware. "CEO BAD" is an easy philosophy to espouse, but it doesn't really encompass the nuances of reality.

That was literally my first thought.

Maybe boomers are more embarrassed about being scammed (or just more private in general), and so basing all this on a self-reported study seems like a bit of a shaky foundation.

Would be great if they had some more data that wasn't from self-reporting..

Generally, I agree, but this article is weird...

It sounds like the Mayor tried to force the officer (who is the only officer in this city) to enforce an over-zealous speeding rule. And the implication is he didn't want to, so the mayor put him on leave.

Am I reading that right?

I ended up hiding it on my phone on the first day of the protests (it was an option when I long-pressed on the RIF icon). And I haven't used it since, although I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tempted.

I would just uninstall it, but I don't want to hurt the developer's app store metrics (increased uninstall-rate could look bad). Although I guess it won't matter much in a couple weeks.
