Not as much of an effect as the 16,837,684 "partners" and data-processing companies that your personal data gets sent to, every time you open a web page. It's bigger than e-mail, bigger than youtube, and, yes, it's even bigger than funny cat videos.

Reflecting a wider workplace trend, more software engineers are replacing their traditional desks with standing desks, walking desks or adjustable desks in hopes of becoming healthier—or at least more comfortable throughout the day. It turns out they are also becoming more productive. "Stand and deliver!"
Personally, I'm much twitchier when I'm working at my standing desk, compared with when I'm seated.

Well, it's perfectly clear that you can't code a cloud-based AI without a standing desk, preferably with a built-in cup-holder for decaf mocha frappuccino and a mounting-plate for alexa.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Several years ago a marketing guy in the next cubicle declared that standing desks were the next best thing. He lasted a week. He said what I found; after a few hours of standing in one place, the back and leg pain gets intense.

It takes a week or two to switch over (or possibly just to get used to the new pain). Still, I only use the standing desk about 1/2 time. I can't manage it mentally full time.

I guess he meant that they're next-best to sitting desks.
The ability to stand was given to us by The Lord for attending the immediate locales of coffee machines.

Hacked corporate sites and news blogs running using the WordPress CMS are being used by attackers to deliver backdoor malware that allows them to drop several second-stage payloads such as keyloggers, info stealers, and Trojans. It's not bad enough that we can't trust updates from {that company} or {the other company}?

Eight major mobile carriers have agreed to share customer location data with the European Commission in a bid to track the spread of COVID-19, the GSMA said in a statement on Wednesday. Little Virus brings Big Brother
It seemed to help in Taiwan and Singapore, so maybe this will help. But I expect they may not want to stop when things calm down.

Nope... only the opportunity to make it publicly and officially without having to hide (and not only in the EU)

Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I thought that mobile carriers already do share your location whenever some big shots need it. At least this is not a news to me. So it's better to leave your cell phone at home when you're up to something
