So, from the article at least, the EU requires hard changes from MS regarding data storage. While the Germans are more complaining about the wording in the terms and conditions. Makes sense, I would have been surprised if my valued German administration had come to a different conclusion.

But honestly, this will be a) challenged by MS to defend their Office business in the EU and b) if that challenge doesn't work be solved by some other wording and / or changes to the data storage of Office 365 for EU based costumers.

Until then I have a hard believing all the companies, small to public international ones, will change back to non-cloud services anytime soon.

I'm a consultant across a bunch of orgs, and some of the fun stuff I've seen recently:

Client A requires VPN Client "X" that is exactly version 1.2.3.4.

Client B requires the same VPN Client "X", but force-upgrades it to "1.2.3.5" or whatever.

I now cannot connect to Client A without uninstalling the VPN client installed by Client B and reinstalling from scratch.

A gentle suggestion to the VPN vendors that write not-backwards-and-forward compatible clients like this: Go die in a fire. Or quit IT and go lay bricks or something. Actually don't do that, I wouldn't want to live in a building you build. It'll probably collapse if the wind isn't blowing at the exact right speed.

Similarly, Client C has a VPN client that is also the kitchen sink, and has a "profile" that overwrites half my system with its junk. It refuses to connect if I edit the profile. I have several coworkers who VPN in via Virtual Machines to work around this.

Many VPN vendors believe that VPN client downloads should require a support login. My feedback: Stop that. Just stop. Publish a straight up download link to every version. Please. Just do it. I promise you won't lose any sales because of this. Really. I promise.

More fun: A large gov org client of ours had spent nearly a decade hard-coding their "LAN subnet range" in a bazillion firewall and IP whitelisting rules in dozens of products. The VPN is in the Cloud and uses a different range (10.x.x.x/8), so now every firewall rule is broken for users connecting from home. 9 months into the pandemic, they're still working on it.

I have Gigabit fibre and a high performance computer. Downloads really do go at 800+ Mbps. I'm yet to see a VPN product that can crack 200 Mbps even during periods of low load and with a matching gigabit link at the other end. Most do 3-20 Mbps, and I've seen as low as 1 Mbps. This is entirely a software problem!

Microsoft deserves the IT equivalent of the Razzie awards for their implementation of IP-HTTPS in DirectAccess which is a) Slow as molasses, b) Limited to 8 cores on the server for no reason, c) Not fixed in 12 years, d) Still theoretically supported, e) Will never be fixed.

Vendors: Benchmark your products please. Once a decade maybe. Or two. No rush. It's not like there's a pandemic on or anything. Take your time.

I didn't use a case for my iPhone 3g. Or 4s. Or 5s. Dropped them all several times, never had more than dings on the metal edges.

Did the same for my 6S, and cracked the screen three times. The third it cracked time I upgraded to an iPhone XS; but my wife insisted I get a case, and it was hard to argue against.

I'm really glad they've moved back to the (apparently) more robust form factor of having squarish metal edges. I look forward to not having to use a case the next time I update.
This invites the question of how much wretched usage it takes for the usage to overcome its wretchedness, "irregardless" of efforts to stem the fell tide.

> the security moves to the application

The application access should be secured IN ADDITION to network access to it being secured!

Security in layers is a thousands years old concept. Castles for example where built with multiple concentric walls that defenders could fall back to if the outer perimeter was compromised.

Reasons for corporate IT network are multiple: the application could have an exploit at some point, the employee credentials could be compromised (even dual factor), the application if publicly exposed is vulnerable to denial of service even if it remains completely secured, vulnerabilities can be scanned if public, etc, etc.

Please stop repeating bullshit from "zero security" vendor marketing materials.
> Radical gender theory does in fact make the bold claim that biological sex isn’t real.

No.

Transphobes[1] will say that sex is obvious and the binary is clear.

The argument being made against transphobes is that definitions for "female" (or "male") can't exclude trans-people while including everyone else traditionally thought of as female (or male). That's something that transphobes claims is easy, and they're wrong.

[1] Many transphobes say this. It doesn't mean that anyone who says this is transphobic.

Personally, this year Netflix has renewed shows like Carmen Sandiego for another season (despite the current season being cut short due to COVID) and The Dragon Prince for another four (yes, 4.) after only running for 3 so far.
> have rounded edges that to me are really slippery and easy to drop.

And easier to crack the screen when it lands on the edge. I'm pretty sure I didn't drop my 6S more times than I dropped my iPhone 5 or 4S, but I cracked my 6S screen three times, whereas I never cracked my 5 or 4S screens at all.
Fine, I'll bite: that is what people are referring to when they refer to "privilege". Politics has an enormous influence on just about every problem you might face, from whether you're paid enough, what "enough" is, how easily you can bargain for more, to the freakin' weather, and thereby food supplies, to whether your neighbour would face consequences for shooting you, or how easy it is for them to do so.

Either you don't realise how your problems are due to unfavourable (for you) politics, or you have very, very few.

2. How much I wanted to run once I got out of the chamber. I was not a runner and I never liked running but I really wanted to run.

I kind of want to do it again to feel that high. Cold showers got a smaller reaction but something similar.

I need to get back into cold showers again but I definitely felt best when I was doing cold showers, it's a cheap trade of a few minutes of unpleasantness for such a mood boost but it's hard convincing yourself to do it first thing in the morning though.

Legend:

a - Shattered fragments of the parts of satellites that weren't involved in direct hypervelocity collision, but got torn off and spun. Essentially like a shotgun discharge, but in space. These will carry most of their original kinetic energy and follow close to their satellite's original trajectory, slowly spreading over time and becoming untrackable. These will stay around the longest.

b - Pieces that were close to or directly involved in the collision, retaining enough orbital velocity to stay in space. May be on highly eccentric orbits. Should decay faster than pieces labeled "a" (I think, I'm not sure).

c - Pieces that lost enough velocity to fall either straight down, or fly upwards and then fall straight down. These may cause some damage on their way down to ground, but should disappear quickly.

For reference, here are some (much prettier) diagrams of the 2009 collision, that happened at close to 90 degree angle: http://celestrak.com/events/collision/.

EU market liberalization makes sense because there are already at least 20+ would be competitors for almost everything.

I have no idea how well this turned out in practice, especially considering that market harmonization/standardization is a basically a must have to have efficiency at scale.

The big difference seems to be healthcare and education. Where there's a primary state funded/owned/operated/mandated provider/option. Which sort of helps with keeping a ceiling on prices.

But at the same time youth unemployment was (and probably still is) very high, despite easy access to higher education. US unemployment rates reached its low point before covid19 probably because so much is tied to employment and there are so few restrictions on hiring and firing folks compared to some "average/median" EU jurisdiction.

Then of course there are very real far right parties with power too, so yeah, it's a lot less true that US Dems are so right of Europe politics. While at the same time a very authoritarian group runs the current US federal show, with a very real chance of that continuing, which unfortunately doesn't help with the polarization of politics.

>you'll see anti-war/racism/capitalism posters, PSAs, etc.

Just because you like the misleading message, does not make it less misleading.

Just because you are anti something that you consider bad, does not make you good, and more important than that, does not make you better than what you denounce.

Hitler was anti-comunist and Stalin anti-fascism. They used the anti "something horrible" as an excuse to grab all power without supervision.

I collect propaganda posters, and have lots of Russian communist ones. I study those. Communist has always been experts on propaganda and giving misleading messages.
From my point of view, the reason is that it's not a cost-of-life adjustment, it's a market rate adjustment. Companies pay a worker what is necessary for him to stay working for them.

Even a remote-first company is in competition with on-site companies when it comes to hire/keep workers. So they need to pay the local market rate for each worker, otherwise he'll go work for someone else in his area.

In the same way, they can afford to pay less to a worker moving to an area with a lower market rate, because he won't find a better alternative without moving.
Isn't Netflix effectively doing VC, but for TV shows? They seem to be shotgunning money around to people who want to make shows, and if the RoI is not at an arbitrary threshold, they stop feeding money.

On the contrary, if we reserve the word "abuse" for situations where the ToS is actually violated then the word becomes more useful.

Similarly, if we reserve the word "unlimited" for things that are actually, y'know, unlimited, then the word again becomes more useful.

Flagrant disregard for commonly understood definitions of words when it's convenient to one's cause is a concrete example of a tragedy of the commons that makes a language less useful overall.
