Oh, you'd like it to be that simple wouldn't you?

Office is both a standalone product and an optional subset of Office 365.

Oh and if your Office 365 license is just standard but you have an individual license for Visio or Publisher then you can have Office installed locally with Office 365 integrate except for those individual licenses that you have install separately and aren't integrated.

And then there's client versioning because licenses could be perpetual, instance, instance or prior.

I could keep going....

All that being said, Microsoft has made efforts with 365 to fix these issues and the abolishing of the Sales Silo can only help matters.

That's ingenious, I like it, cheap and effective.
Two facts:

1. Among the top 12 math students there are only 3 that are not Chinese-origin, and they're all chosen for the IMO team, a bit like AA everywhere to stay politically correct, which is fine. -- I heard about this but could not find the list to verify.

2. Two players in IMO team are having F1 visa, that means they're actually Chinese high school students that are studying in USA recently. This is very debatable, many disagree on this practice, and the physics, chemistry Olympiad do not have the same practice because this practice does not represent/honor/encourage the real math talents from US.
Of course it's about perspective, I just don't think you have a very broad one. That Google didn't come from Europe has little to do with the current situation. Europe doesn't lack innovation at all, in fact the reason that startups aren't very popular is that there are many other interesting engineering companies to work for. Talent flight is not particularly significant, especially with the US visa rules.

European startups often out innovate companies like Google, but there's no way you can win when Google owns the platform. We already have sub-standard foreign technology when US companies don't roll out features in European countries. Yet, again you can't win because who's going to fund a company that any minute can be crushed by a much larger US competitor.

Being able to compete with US companies is very much a problem for European startups, not because of talent flight or innovation but because they have such strong market positions that they don't mind taking advantage of.

The funny thing is of course that a decade ago no one in the US cared about Europe, but now with all the shit going on in the US you constantly see shallow argument how horrible Europe is. I see that as a good sign.
Right, that's the thesis of the article. The basis for concluding that Google, Facebook, etc were not "actually serious" was their numbers being lower than Apple's numbers.

I was asking if perhaps OP's data analysis was flawed because (for example) Apple might be counting Genius Bar employees as "tech" for the purposes of the diversity report... ie maybe Apple has the same difficulty hiring diverse candidates as Google for similar positions, OP's friend's experience notwithstanding.
Good lord, the brand confusion.

I work with Microsoft's enterprise instant messaging/unified communications platform. It used to be called Lync, which, whatever, meh, it's a name. When Microsoft acquired Skype, they decided to rename the next iteration of Lync, Skype for Business. Skype and Skype for Business are two completely different products, running on top of different protocols that just barely inter-operate. It's absurd how much confusion this rebranding has caused.

Where Books Are All but Nonexistent
>Saying other scientists do not do contribute as much (or even at all) is incorrect in my opinion.

I did not mean to blanket that other scientists do not contribute. And you might be right, my sentament was certainly fast paced and not perfectly thought out. I do go back and fourth on this idea. Sometimes I think that 90% of the science community could disspear and nothing substantial would be lost. Other times I think that that 90% largely contributed to the critical mass needed for a limited number of works to be celebrated over a long period of time. And provide many contributions that are not seen (apparently relativity was floating around in papers for almost a decade before einstein's 1905 paper).

> did not mean to be smug
I might have been overly sensitive. I mistook the double use of 'founded' as an attempt to challenge my contextual understanding over the controversy of both calculus and alegbra (which I'm not expert on either topic by any stretch).

I certainly do not want you thinking that I do not appreciate any criticism of my arguments or opinions. I just felt the last comments of ours was going towards a path of 'who did what when', and 'what magnitude of work', etc...
General observation is that neither the mathematical models nor the data is perfect.

For example, oceanic thermocline data, from what I understand, is not really collected.

We have an imperfect model being fed incomplete data? Why be surprised at debate over it?

People laugh today at ether and phlogiston debates, but such acrimonious debate pushed forward science to the point where we had exactly the right answer.
> all the bloat and corruption of the taxi industry PLUS local municipalities getting their cut

Isn't that simply capitalism? An analog: iPhones default to google for web searches because google paid Apple $1b to keep it the default. Yet we typically don't call this bloat or corruption.

Hertz (or whoever it is these days) is the closest car rental at every airport because they pay the airport the most for this scarce resource.

Yes, this makes it difficult for new entrants into the marketplace. But, don't blame corruption, blame capitalism for everyone maximizing their own profits. Oh, and to bring this back to startups. What is Hertz/Taxi unfair competitive advantage? Multi-year agreements with each airport to give them closest access for airport passenger pickup. That is what Flightier had to overcome, it seems they struggled overcoming their competitors lock-in with the airports.

6 Ways to Start Learning for Aspiring Entrepreneurs
It's not a fallacy if you're responding to someone who says "we absolutely must have a perfect solution"
Personal domains won't help you if the state releases laws which enables providers to silence whole domains against unwanted opinions.

What we need is a new decentralized Internet. We need not only open source software (for security reasons), not only open hardware (for security reasons) but also a new open non-commercial Internet which cannot be censored.
So the intent of the meta-domains I mentioned in my original might be better served by a personal IPv6 block, that doesn't come from a corporation's reserved blocks.

Just as I move my domain around between email (and other) providers, I could then move my IPv6 block around. Instead of asking Linode for an IP address out of their block, I could tell them "serve this block." (Or can we already do that? For a reasonable price?)
Mostly because it's known, obvious, and doesn't add to the discussion. We know it had that idea, and we know what followed. If the OP wants to make an actual point/statement, then they could do that instead.

One example of this I see all the time. You need some new functionality, but altering database tables is a pain in the arse, compared to adding more code. So you add more code.

That's a ridiculous price. I just got an older tablet and installed an aftermarket ROM without the Google frameworks. Then I put stickers over the cameras, and opened it up to disconnect the microphone and sever the electrical traces on the USB port so it only charges and doesn't allow for data communications.

When I closed the case up, I put some globs of epoxy on the inside so it wouldn't be possible to open it back up without major and obvious shell damage.

I do something similar with my laptops. I use older Lenovos compatible with Libreboot and just disconnect the microphones and cameras and seal up the ports with DMA memory access (firewire, eSATA, etc) and seal up the case.

It makes it so I can't repair them if something goes wrong, but since they're ancient machines they're very inexpensive.
I'm honestly confused by your response. Companies like Facebook, Twitter & Google hire 1% blacks in tech and 2% overall. Blacks as a percentage of college graduates in engineering or non-engineering fields are way more than 2% of graduating classes.

However most Silicon Valley tech companies under-hire from this demographic for their own reasons.

I understand this position for large, dense frameworks (i.e. Rails, Zend, Spring) that you are basing your entire codebase on. Heck, I can even see an argument with Javascript (largely due to Node, React, etc. having a substantial impact you design around).

Storage facility will charge for the service because storing physical goods and providing 24/7 security cost money. Last time I checked they will have a clause in the contract if X weeks go by and you have not paid your bill they will auction the items off to recover the debt.

Though could be different for different storage facilities.

For example, lets reverse this a little bit. Lets say you're storing a clients data, backups, 100tb of data with offsite redundancy. The client doesn't pay for 6 months. You've taken all course of action to contact the client but they're unresponsive. It's now costing you money to maintain and service this data. What do you do?

It does not automatically mean this, but it is a strong indicator. If the output of the classifier is not correlated with a given output sample it is reasonable to assume, in the absence of other data, that it is uncorrelated for other samples as well.

Comparing how regulators are acting towards Google now vs. How they would act when Google was a startup is ridiculous. The investigations are largely based on Google abusing power, you can't do that when you're a couple of people. We need to stop looking at Facebook/Google etc. as innovative little startups. They're behemoths that can afford to ask for permission.

You are intentionally "misunderstanding" my comment.

Once a refugee enters any country that is deemed safe, he or she has no right to flee any further. It would be really hard to argue in court that someone had reason to flee France.

Countries can of course have bi or multilateral laws in place that allow free movement, but in case of the EU we have the Dublin Regulation that explicitly forbids this for refugees. The EU country where a refugee first sets foot on has to take care of the asylum process. If the refugee decides to move to another EU country then this country has the right to send them back and this is also executed.
> This idea that paying less tax is a good thing boggles the mind. Do you think tax payer money is just burnt or something?

Let me rephrase that.

With everything I listed that you don't receive in the UK, this idea that paying less tax than the French is a good thing boggles the mind. Do you think tax payer money is just burnt or something?

edit: OK in case it requires more explanation: I don't mind paying more for more, but if I receive less then at least I want to pay less. And by "I", I don't mean personally receiving more or less. As a middle classer I know that I'm more likely to be a net positive contributor to the tax coffer and I'm ok with that.

Enough for what? Why not? They specifically have a "score", not just a hire / no hire decision. Sure it would be better, but you don't make any convincing argument why their analysis is not valuable.

Finally, take a group of singers singing the same song, in the same key: art. Diversity for the sake of diversity is no better than a group of people all singing their own song. Don't fall into the trap of thinking that the only way to be great is to be diverse.

Framing it that way ignores that Google has always presented its rankings as fair. If they had always been up front about giving an unfair advantage to their own sites then that would have possibly changed history and opened up space for a competitor who did nothing but search. But Google has always presented itself as benign and benevolent. That misrepresentation is a real issue.

P.S.S If the only reason Google didn't come from Europe is that Google has a giant market to use against competitors, how did Google get to its position? Why didn't the first Google come from Europe? Or Facebook? Or Twitter? Or ANYTHING? It's a chicken/egg problem for you to blame Google's dominance on its size, since it didn't always have this size, and there was ample opportunity prior!

The nature of a Competition Commission case often requires more than just disruptive/innovative startup status. That's their starting point in this case as well: with Google's often cited 90% market share of European searches, they're liable to not abuse their dominant position. A disruptive/innovative startup won't attract this kind of attention from the Competition Commission until it has achieved similar monopoly status. It's interesting that even Thiel laid out the playbook for defending the "we're not actually a monopoly position in his 'Zero To One'." Google seems to be taking exactly that defensive tactic as their base. The three billy goats defense.

If you go into the case files, you can see the logic which is central to their findings. They're in no way as general as they're made out to be in a lot of the press on the case. And Google is much less public about the case so it's hard to get a sense of what their perspective is on it.
