At some point, many people will return to office life, at least part time. How do you think that'll affect work behavior and the tools for it (Slack, Zoom, etc.)?
What product features would you hope the vendors would add in preparation for that eventuality? For example... For the last year, we all have had “one connection, one face on screen.” That’s given...
What product features would you hope the vendors would add in preparation for that eventuality?
For example... For the last year, we all have had “one connection, one face on screen.” That’s given everyone a kind of equality, where we each have an equal seat at the table. (With or without cat filters.) Now we have to contemplate returning to an environment where SOME people are in the office, and thus huddled around a conference table, and the rest of the team is working from home. It was like that in the Before Times, but now everybody is more cognizant of the disadvantages… not the least of which is the poor video organization in conference rooms. Few companies are smart enough to install a camera that’s pointed at the people around the conference table, for instance, however simple/cheap an option that is.

Where to get music in a downloadable format (other than iTunes)?

So currently I get most of my music from soundtracks ripped from games and from Bandicamp. However, quite a few artists that go through traditional publishers are not on Bandicamp.
Now, while I could go through the hassle of installing iTunes on Linux through WINE, I dont want to because:
- WINE can be a hassle, especially if the app does some strange things.
- Id rather not support apple in any way if I can
So, are there any major platforms that allow downloading .mp3 or better yet, .flac files, especially for artists going through bigger publishers?

In breast cancer screening, deep neural networks use different features than radiologists
@Taro Makino: DNNs perform well on a range of medical diagnosis tasks, but do they diagnose similarly to humans?In breast cancer screening, DNNs use different features than radiologists. Some are spurious, while others may represent new biomarkers.https://t.co/kyMiLtSxw0 1/9 pic.twitter.com/akpIH1OpYo
