Do you care if they steal your account though and drop all your inventory?

The problem is the auth is plain text too and you're open to having your credentials stolen.

Well, I think it's as simple as you say. Phones have completely taken over the market. The majority of people don't find any value in having another device that's only differentiating factor is that it isn't their phone. (You didn't mention headphone jacks).

It's just like portable GPS devices, electronic organizers (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdeE_kiG5Co), electronic translators/dictionaries, calculators, alarm clocks, ...

How do you use this in practice?

Do you plug your phone in via USB-C and then use the WIFI off of that instead of the hotspot on your device?

Or do you go to hotels and use this to connect to their wifi and then use your own AP?

wow, I can't believe the iphone is 16 years old. I also had this watch and it came well before it. Maybe 2002?

I think I learned about this from the TV show Home Improvement in the Tool Time segment.

One of my most successful coworkers, who recently got a promotion this year, spends his time chatting with people, joking all day, and bantering with people in different departments. He's the go-to guy for figuring out if there's an existing solution to a problem or getting an opinion of if some work is going to run into problems later with some other changes someone is going to make.

The point I'm trying to make is, that it pays to be connected to your coworkers, because problems get solved when information is flowing between people.

It shouldn't be all work related conversations either. It's much easier to change subjects to something more serious when you have a rapport with someone and they are more likely to confide in you if they know you're on the same team.

And the answer to why give someone who's happy a raise, It's so they stay because they are becoming an essential part of the business and they're increasing everyone else's productivity as well. And if they don't give you a raise, you'll have built a large network of friends at your company who will probably want to bring you along as well if they leave.

I don't have an answer for your question, but I was curious, are you interested in getting paid in BTC at a rate that is tied to the USD or that is negotiated up front based on what the BTC/USD pair is traded at when they sign the offer?

If the former, why not just buy at each paycheck as zepto stated below?

Even with electric voting, there are 2 witnesses who's duties are to just watch the election IIRC. FYI: I've done this before and got paid about $10 an hour to do it several years ago while I was in college.

Part of the witness duties should be making sure the votes for that polling location are counted accurately and there is no way to do that with electric voting systems. It's just a black box you have to trust.

That doesn't solve my concern. If your boss at work tells you to go vote and then demands you show your receipt when you get back it wont matter that your name isn't on it. You would be pressure to vote how they told you to.

The proof would be a paper ballot that you turn in. Your actual vote.

I don't think you should leave with any proof of who you voted for. I'm worried that it could be used by people to influence elections by paying for receipts from certain candidates or by punishing people who are not able to produce the correct receipt.

I think we should return back to paper ballots. When there are witnesses to elections, I don't think any of them are qualified to judge if an election has been done in a honest fashion. This would require experts on the voting equipment where they can guarantee that it has not been tampered with and that is too high a burden and something that complex can not be trusted.
