The pivoting head on these is a game changer after using the traditional double edge razor. I do cut myself on occasion (Feathers are SHARP) but usually when I'm trying to rush things, and not as much as with the traditional razor.

On the other hand, if he did realize that this innocuous looking json update would render as CEO of GitHub, I'm not sure I hate it. I think people offering their time to chat with others is great, but I'm not a fan of this type of aggregation. If this makes it look sillier, maybe that's ok?
So, I used to think the same thing, and have several Alexa devices in my home. However, last week I got an ad from Amazon about shower head installation. I have never searched for that on any device, nor asked my Alexa about it. But I did have a meatspace conversation about it the day before I got the ad.
Maybe I said something which triggered it? No idea, but I'm sure that Alexa listening in caused the advertisement to show up.
I promptly set them all so they no longer listen and I'm trying to figure out a better solution (HomePod? Mycroft?). I absolutely love the (limited) capabilities smart speakers provide. But I'm done with Alexa.

My company enables direct to consumer beer and cider delivery. We mapped out the laws at the zip code level to avoid the legal issues and it works well.
