I mean they talk about that in the article. That said, I tried Feedly and IMO it wasn't anywhere near Google Reader.

Why isn't Trello / Atlassian warning about this?

There's a separate cabin heater which is connected to the same circuit as the block heater.

Not talking about remote start but about heating the car before starting it. It's powered by electricity not gasoline. The garage has an outlet that you plug the car into.

In Sweden every vehicle has had this as standard since the 1980s.

And maybe that's why it isn't working. They try too hard to persuade or force you, giving people icky feelings from the get go... and they try too little to just make a product that people want.

I'm a guy so I realize I don't see or understand everything from women's perspective, but I'm genuinely surprised by this. I've worked for decades at companies with mostly engineers and mostly men, and my experience is that engineers have on average much more progressive views than, say, my neighbors. My current company recently switched from a male to a female CEO and I haven't even heard anyone mention her gender, much less express any negative views in connection to her gender. My previous employer also had a female CEO and it just wasn't a thing on people's mind. At my current employer we have anonymous surveys to find problems in the workplace, and there were exactly zero people who reported observing any sexist actions.

I've heard sexist remarks twice in 20 years, and both times I was so flabbergasted that I didn't know what to do or say before the conversation had already moved on. So if I'm bad at speaking up when it happens, it's only because I didn't get enough practice.

On the one hand, I strongly doubt their AI will do a good job at this and my first thought was that their sales will go to shit. I mean we all know how shitty all communication with Google is for mostly everyone because of what they already automated (developer relations for Android app developers spring to mind).

On the other hand, I'm not convinced the sales people were doing a good job either so maybe we won't notice a difference.

Because of the CLOUD Act this won't matter.
