Hyperbolic. I imagine if a blind person is convinced by an unfamiliar/altered crosswalk voice to “walk into traffic”, they need a personal caregiver to navigate outdoors. Blind persons are “blind”, not stupid.
But I take your point, there is a line, and we expect infrastructure and trusted resources to be inviolate. And yet these norms are falling all around the edges of society.
The Bay Area has a long history of activist artist hacking society. Billboard Liberation Front, for example. The Bay Area is not just filled with tech Bros.
The official word of US government must be on government servers and platforms/sites or press channels. Use Twitter for promotional utility and reach, but not authority.
I am a citizen and I refuse to recognize Twitter as the voice of government.
Huh. I work in finance related industry and was reading this for insight into the lack of forward movement in important software features—-opposite condition of the OP’s context of gaming.
It's just that Google Voice app on iPhone did something weird in a recent call. I hadn't been using it very much at all, and about a month ago I got a notice from Google saying, Use it or lose it. Ok. So I use it and the suggestion thing threw me for a loop.
On my phone's 120 mm screen, if you switch to the keypad, but before you type a number, the top of the screen says "Suggestions". But I didn't see that. I'm looking back and forth between a phone number in an email signature and the on screen keypad. Once you start typing the number, "Suggestions" goes away. So I finish typing and look up to see the name of a personal contact (never called from Google Voice, btw). I had to type the number again I was so confused.
I was thinking, that's what you get for free IP phone number and free app. Now I read the OP and think, now my iPhone is going to start acting like crap too?
Funny to think it, but I wonder if these Gov peeps are using the free versions or if they pay for these services?
That’s so true, and I think it undermines reasonable conversations about his actions. Like talking to someone about why they’re rooting for the bad guy in a movie.
