Amazon sent 1,700 Alexa voice recordings to the wrong person. The person on the recordings could then be tracked down using only the recordings as clues. threatpost.com/amazon-1700-al…
If only people knew how much I talk to myself, at other drivers and at voices on the radio when I'm alone in my car. 😂

When you realize that a public procurement RFP is worded in such a way that only one, or maybe three, people in Sweden fits with the required competencies. 😂

@BBCAfrica If you don’t choose one of two options or paths forward, both those options/paths will soon become unavailable to you. In short: being undecided limits your opportunities.

It's hard to believe we read out all these countries in one single take, but it's the truth! A teaser for episode 200 which is out on Friday! x.com/uxpodcast/stat…
When you keep trying to redesign the toilet sign to make it more inclusive, sooner or later you realize that we are actually looking for a toilet, not a diverse set of people 🤦♂️. So how about a toilet with an arrow, and anybody who needs to use it, follow the arrow!
To be more inclusive, let's not draw pictures of as many different people as possible. We let people decide if the facilities will work for them. This includes stalls, handrails, size, urinals, type of dryer. Also, things like if there's music and care to avoid perfumes.
By focusing on explaining the facilities we are creating more awareness of the differences between toilets, not people, and providing autonomy for anyone to avoid and/or prepare before making use of the restroom - regardless of who they are.
In the end I'm sure most people can think of things that would help them decide whether or not they would like to visit a public restroom.
Just now came across this signage which is the best I've seen: x.com/skynebula/stat…

I believe it would be helpful for more journalists to realize that social media is not representative of society as a whole and that writing like it is makes the writer a modern marionette.
As companies rush to find ways of gaining your consent for their misuse of your data, we need to boost awareness and understanding of the “informed” part of informed consent:
permission granted in FULL KNOWLEDGE of the possible consequences.
