I see the same bug with the remote on my phone, how did they manage to break volume control in the app while keeping it working from the lock screen “now playing”?

I’ve also been unable to get the remote app on my watch to work at all. It’s hard to imagine people working at Apple don’t also run into these issues all the time.

I think the issue for me was how "real life" and "digital life" are basically on equal footing when looking through this device. So your kids are now competing with whatever youtube video you are watching and it's harder to look away from the digital distraction. The same is true today when you are watching a video on your phone, but it's way easier to get someone to look away from their phone when it's not life-size, constantly in view, and always on

IOTAS | Portland, OR or Remote | https://www.iotashome.com | Full time | Backend Engineering Manager

At IOTAS we work directly with apartment buildings to bring smart home technology to renters and property managers. Think smart door locks, lights, thermostats, etc that can be controlled via our mobile app. We are constantly integrating with new IoT devices that make life easier for both residents and property managers. Our backend software runs primarily on AWS (ECS, RDS, API Gateway, Lambda) and we have a fleet of hubs deployed in the field which are installed in each apartment.

We are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead the IOTAS backend team which is responsible for architecting, designing and building the core of the IOTAS IoT platform. The team is small to start, so most of your day will be spent in the code. Over the next year you will spend time growing the team to support our future roadmap.

I'm seeing the same issue. I've deleted all mail from my gmail account a few months ago, but I still have purchases showing up. Clicking on `remove purchase` takes me into my old empty gmail account. It's one thing to store this data, it's another to prevent users from deleting it.

Re:Two in Three Americans Now Support Legalizing Marijuana on Monday October 22, 2018 @07:21PM (#18279449)
This is exactly my experience in Oregon. There are of course still people who don't partake at all, but I know plenty of non smokers who have now become occasional users. Having said that, they seem to use it in place of alcohol.

Seems like a wash, if not a net positive to me.
