It might surprise you to learn that even in the Whitehouse they use decision theory.
Just heard someone on CNN condemning North Korea for how many people are incarcerated there.

And you have got your message. I think you might be able to come to the game tomorrow morning if you are going to the church and then you can just take a walk around the lake but if you have any idea about the time I could get you something to eat.

But it didn’t take that much more to get better than it was before.
Homepod Or Echo
For years I have listened to people as they gather around the ‘internet campfire’ discussing what/who makes the best hardware, software, service.
But is it really about the best hardware or software or infrastructure or stack or whatever else we want to call it? Surely, there can never be an absolute comparison, without understanding the rules of judgement? And those rules aren’t someone else’s. They are yours. You need to define what your needs are and the parameters against which you will judge before you can get to an answer of what is right for you.
It is about each of us defining what we want to do to improve ourselves, improve our efficiency, make life easier, more enjoyable … whatever we are wanting to achieve … and then choose what we want to use.
I happen to live in Apple land … but if a Surface tablet, an Android phone, a Chromebook works for you, I’m good. Trust me, even if you want to talk to Amazon’s Alexa through your Echo, your call. I am not in a position to judge whether you have the right tool, because you haven’t told me what you are trying to do and (just as importantly) what you are using at the moment.
BUT …. if you did … I can probably help.
As for the Homepod. Not got one. Yet. Probably will. Eventually. Not because I want to talk to Siri - I barely do that with my phone, but because I want to listen to great music with great sound. That’s what I want, and why Alexa won’t do it for me. Then again as a long time Sonos user, it might explain the Homepod procrastination!
People, Process THEN Technology.

I have a related post about Microsoft Word in the works that relates.
An Excellent Read From The Outline On Gun Violence … to which let me append a quote I shared just two days ago …

Twitter - a stalking ground for the sanctimoniously self-righteous who love to second-guess, to leap to conclusions and be offended.
