There are a huge number of ways to fight inflation. You can do wage and price controls. You spend money to increase supply. You mandate this and create a law that does that. You could reduce the money supply with tax increases. All of those things are politically tricky. Each has a constituent that likes it and one that opposes it.

Here's the thing though - none of those ways works. The way that works isn't politically tricky it's politically toxic. Raising interest rates works. It will ultimately piss off just about everyone but if you really want to cut inflation it's the only way to do it everything else is just politicians doing politics.
Important point. To reiterate, the culture of companies change.
Even that is gross hyperbole. Humans as species could survive even the most disastrous predictions, rendering entire continents uninhabited.

Yeah, sure. That being said, the fact that there haven't been any other deals like this this year is a suggestion that the market for them has changed, mostly independently of the company involved.
the bundled packaging where they give it away for free to get market share is a well documented antitrust practice.

Lookup diapers.com for instance. Amazon sold diapers below cost to gain marketshare, took all customers from diapers.com, those guys went bankrupt, and Amazon upped the prices to higher levels than before.

I am not suggesting breaking up Microsoft and Teams, I am suggesting that giving away Teams for free should not be allowed, it needs to be fairly priced. But Microsoft has good lawyers of course.

Did you read a different article? This one mentions telecommuting precisely once in passing. The rest of it is about the unbundling of every other usage of cars for tripmaking into a variety of solutions that match scale of trip and cargo more precisely.
Might be true in some zero-sum sense if the highest salaries are already subsidized by the lowest ones, but let's say some company is already turning a profit on their highest paid employees, it should be theoretically possible to match those wages.

I assume it is related to the following, written by Mozilla's activist-CEO:

https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/we-need-more-than-deplat...

In this piece she takes a clearly partisan stance with regard to "Trump" (between quotes because the stance is against the "movement", not the person) and calls for censorship - disguised under vague terms like Turn on by default the tools to amplify factual voices over disinformation. No matter whether you agree with Baker or not it should be clear that a pro-censorship stance coming from the head of a browser company is a bad sign.

I'm a die-hard Firefox user and not a resident of the D.S.A. but that does not mean I won't be affected by this type of activism. If Baker and her ilk go beyond their current promotional activism - from pride-month themes to "voices of colour" extension suggestions - to actually embrace the censorship she seems to desire I'll jump ship. Not to Chrome or Safari or anything like that, probably to one of the de-fanged Blink-based browsers like Bromite or Ungoogled Chromium.
I tried to play this on the BBC Micro and failed utterly. I was 9 though.
Ah ok that's what you meant. Yeah seems like a good idea.
no its not illegal, it just needs a lot of lawyers to workout the details. GDPR does not block a lot of things, it only requires you to work out the proper procedures and paperwork. And that is where Microsoft is good at, the compliance support.

That's my point, that for it to make sense they either need to be restricted to acting like humans or the rules of the game need to be updated to suit robots in which case it's not the same sport any more, even if the rules are changed to keep it as close to human football as possible as you suggest.
Question for anyone with inside insight...

When something like Boom announces:

American said it too had paid a “non-refundable deposit” – it also did not say how much – as part of an agreement to buy up to 20 of the jets.

Does that really mean AA paid them $1 (or a nominal amount) in return for the marketing impact of having AA's name mentioned in a few press releases?
> In the old world, disk space was limited and download speeds were slow

No, the problem is that production systems need to receive fine-grained and timely security updates.

You can't rebuild, test and deploy a whole OS every time a vulnerability in OpenSSL is fixed. It would be extremely risky for any non-trivial production workload.

Disk space is not the issue. Distributions do the crucial and painstaking work of backporting security fixes.

This cannot be done when applications are shipped with huge blobs of dependencies, like with flatpack or containers, it's simply too much work for any organization to do that.
I think you rather badly misunderstand what physics is. It's not a field where you try to convince people of some kind of emotionally compelling origin story you just invented. It's a field where you measure a bunch of things, relate the numbers with some sort of equation, and (optionally!) describe the equation with some sort of layman-friendly metaphor, to build intuition. You can't skip straight to the metaphor! Where are your numbers? On what basis do you claim this radical departure from established physics? Why should we listen to you?
Instagram wasn't performance sensitive at all. It was iteration sensitive: if the team hadn't done it, some other group of people would have sold a company for billions of dollars to Facebook.
The historical context blows my mind, too.

The debate of "do other galaxies even exist?" wasn't definitively settled until 1923, 99 years ago, with Edwin Hubble's observations of Cepheids in Andromeda.

Now, you can just, like, look at them. (With a good telescope.) Every single place you look.
Isn't this the very study you are calling for? Sure, it happens with an entire city at once, but given that there's little potential for harm I don't see the issue with that? Surely this experiment will give better data than a tiny study with two dozen participants.
Ok, but that's specific to CSGO, not steam in general. No game I own seems to have gambling or micro transactions, or they're just not blatantly trying to shove it into my face so that I didn't even notice. Compare this to any mobile game or pay2win games that aren't even really playable without constantly pouring in money.

Valve certainly isn't a saint, but when it comes to steam, it's a decent platform that gets the job done and doesn't get in your way, no dark patterns there.
I'm sure repressive governments will make it illegal to use phones that can connect to Starlink. Satellite phones are banned in India, for example. You will be arrested for a lot longer for owning a satellite phone than if you owned a gun illegally.

In a thread about scientific questions so out-of-reach that we can barely put names to the yawning chasms in collective human understanding...

It might be unrealistic to expect any proffered answer to come with a reputable citation.
This is a bad answer. It's actually a non-answer. You can apply this to a lot of questions. Why does X ... Y (because X can get away with it).

There are real resources behind Microsoft Teams and a lot of people want it to be good. They may not get much of a signal about how well their product is doing compared to competitors because lock-in effects, but I can guarantee you the product managers and executives at Microsoft want the product to work well.
Normally the government (in this case Iran) contacts the service provider (in this case FB/Whatsapp)and lets them know that unless they self-block their service, the government will do blocking at the network level and might issue fines.

Normally, that makes the service provider implement blocks on their end, because then at least they can present the user with a sensible error message, and other services that the government isn't trying to block are not impacted (eg. services hosted on the same servers - for example Whatsapp voice calls might be banned, but text chat not banned).

The Threat to American Democracy – NYT Opinion
That’s not the same issue. Americans like democracy at home. They don’t care about it abroad.

See Costa Rica in 1948, Syria in 1949, Iran in 1953, the Philippines in 1953, Guatemala in 1954, Lebanon in 1957, Brazil in 1964, Indonesia in 1965, Chili in 1973, Argentina in 1976, Haiti in 1991, Palestine in 2006 and I’m probably forgetting some. And that’s just the coups toppling democratically elected leaders by the way. If you add support for authoritarian regimes and meddling in elections the list is far longer.
I’m in Turkey currently and my father works in Moscow as an expat, yesterday we were not able to do video calls on Whatsapp and assumed it’s the Russians blocking it because the error message that Whatsapp gave was something like the operator of the person you call doesn’t support video calls. Tried Wi-Fi and mobile internet, the result was the same.

Voice calls and text worked just fine.
I think this is exactly the kind of revisionist history Faro's post was talking about. "that was eugenics, this is NUgenics"

Haha.. I tried that.

In the editor it inserted half a page of blank lines for no reason.

Then it sent the snippet with an ENORMOUS bold heading, also for no reason.

Then the 4-line script was truncated to 3 lines so as to confuse the person receiving it.

Fantastic quality.
> There is just no rational argument for facial recognition for security purposes.

That's a rather bold claim made with no explanation or arguments to back it.
The complete lack of being able to have offtopic/misc conversations has really sucked. When we had slack we had a channel specific to just chitchat and it was always active but very loose and fun.

We now have a "Chit Chat" channel/team but it's so difficult to use in a natural way that now nobody uses it and now we have zero of it.

As a purely remote worker it kinda sucks
What makes you as a human more valuable than other animals is your ability to communicate. As if your have everything muted you are making yourself less valuable. The ability to focus without distraction for short periods is okay, but as a human you need to be available to communicate with others the vast majority of the time.

You will get less done in total, but what you do get done is so much more valuable to humans as a whole that it is worth the loss of focus. It was a real mind blower when I realized that, I still get frustrated at times with my inability to get hard things done quickly, but in return I get much more important things done with the help of others.

This is very much open to abuse
>Sadly, this proves that the economy is ultimately run on debt.

Its much worse than that. Without a 'gold standard' or really any standard. Money = debt.

For anyone to have any money, others have to have debt. For 50 million retirees to have millions of $ means there is more than that of people in debt.

For a politician to 'forgive debt' means the value must come from someone else, primarily retirees.

>Someday, maybe we, as a society, will realize that debt, credit, and lending is the way bankers scam money out of everyone else, and we collectively won't put up with it anymore.

That's kind of the problem. Lets say we won't put up with it anymore. It ends. No more debt akin to many other empires in antiquity. How do we go about it? Mainly you want to adjust the fractional bank ratio and reserves. Currently 13% or so depending on lots of factors.

So has anyone tried this? Moldova post-USSR has been trying this. It basically destroyed their economy. They never got there, they were close to 2:1 which is crazy good but it ended up just stagnating and wrecking them. Yes lots of confounders here but imagine you can't take on debt. You never have a mortgage. You must buy cash. Guess you're starting to work very early to save enough money to move out of your parents home? homes wont be a good bet neither, without mortgages. Safe investments in retirement funds have to be attracted elsewhere. House prices will be constantly pressured downward but suppliers and construction people want to get paid.

>How did they get them? Interest, fees, and charges. I can't count how many times people (even on this very site!) have said something like "don't buy things with cash, invest it and get a loan for it instead because interest." It's no mystery as to why you don't have a tower, because you're paying for someone else's.

They take their cut of the transaction and take no risks or liabilities on. Smart business.

>Normal people figured this out such a long time ago, that a verse in the Bible says that the borrower is slave to the lender. I'm no slave.

Without debt though, how do you live in a house? You rent? Rent is about the same price as the mortgage. You're paying someone else tower as it were. You should virtually never rent.

It's interesting how the whole system is designed around debt and yet there's only 1 proposed system that might fix this.

To comment on the statement:

"Companies like Microsoft are making close to $100b a year today and they have to put that money to work somewhere"

They'll make stock buybacks, and they'll pay out dividends, far less risky to their stock price and long-term management incentive schemes than most value destructive large acquisitions.
Wait they made more than 1 episode?!
> Currently, PFAS can be filtered out of water

Does a reverse osmosis system at home filter them out? And is there a way to test how much you have in your water?
Honestly I can say the same thing for anyone including Americans!!
This is why we need packaging standards, especially around metadata, instead of further decamping into language-specific ecosystems. Because even with containerized apps, you still want a few launch scripts and a compiled program (for instance) that might contain multiple dependencies from different languages (C, Go, and Fortran, maybe).

The fact watermarked images are available for free doesn't necessarily mean you can do whatever you want with them. It depends on what the getty licence on watermarked images says exactly. I'm pretty sure they don't include something like "you can use these picture as data in automated processes". They are (I guess) available "for your eyes only".
Do you think that helps Teams or not? I mean, if you can make a shitty product and know that it will sell, why make a good one? If you know you have to make a good product to get sales then that's what you'll do.

Shouldn't there be a level where some people will find the pain of the shittiness so great that they'll step outside of the Microsoft ecosystem whereas other people will accept the shit in exchange for the ease of staying inside the Microsoft ecosystem.

If that's true - and I don't know if it is - it seems like the leg up that Teams gets for being part of Microsoft doesn't help nearly so much as it should. Though truthfully in order to compete with Microsoft's entrenchment you don't just need "not shitty" you need a product that's got something going for it that's weirdly compelling. See Linux on servers or Google Chrome on the desktop.
At first I thought the demos were gifs! After seeing your comment, I went back and remained slack-jawed!
With all the problems with Teams, I would rather use it then Google Meet. At least with Teams you can request control of the presenters PC which make it great for doing support calls. Google Meet is sooooooo resource intensive that my entire machine goes to a crawl when I am on a call with more than 3 people (which is often). Not to mention that Teams is so integrated with Office 365. I love that whatever chat you have in a Teams meeting, you have in the Teams app unlike Meet which anything you place in chat is lost after the meeting.

Teams might not be perfect by far, but it is light years better than anything in the enterprise right now.
No, communications software needs to be in the background ready to use at an instant when needed.

There are many people who need more personal discipline to not contact people constantly, but the software itself should be ready for the times when they should contact you, interrupting whatever it is you were doing.
With higher cost of living, taxes and less job opportunity and an economy that isn't recovering.

The main problem with the “key escrow” scenario is that the government can access your private key, so this solution is still not meaningfully secure. What do you think is more likely: that this new institution will be magically invulnerable? Or perhaps you will have just created an irresistibly valuable target for social engineers and hackers that inevitably will fall?

I'm all for nuclear just lets keep in mind it's non renewable, expensive and tricky to get right.
As for thorium I'm no expert but I assume you mean nuclear fission which is not a new concept and totally speculative at the moment is it was in the last 50 years. I really really hope there's a breakthrough soon that can be scaled cheaply.
Solar and wind are very good but are built and maintained with fossil fuels and can't produce enough heat for heavy industrial processes like construction materials etc. We should totally go for them but they are a partial solution for a problem that might be unsolvable if we keep growing are energy consumption.
I can't see why people resist the notion we need to bring energy consumption down.

Searching

Oh god the searching

It's so bad it must be actively designed to not work.

Find a result that is outside the current cached chats and want to see the posts around it for context? Just click the result... To show only the result on page?? Lol gfy, you have to manually scroll allllllllll the way back through months of texts.

Let's lump together text chats meeting chats, org chart and sharepoint/teams files, and make a totally useless search function that actively hates users.
This isn't likely since the geometry as we've attempted to model of the inside of a blackhole wouldn't be so flat. There's a PBS Spacetime episode covering this idea and they explain how it's not possible and if it was possible how it might be so. In any case, the answer is probably no.

Maybe that's why it did not make it past pilot. Why reshoot if it's going to be so similar?
The paper has several key flaws:
- it does not address recent dematerialization and improved efficiency per human in the first world.
- it does not address "off planet" in any way. We can build the surface area of over a billion earths just by disassembling mercury and using it to build rotating space habitats.
- it doesn't address the fact that human energy consumption is a tiny fraction of what is available in our own solar system. Less than 2 billionths of sunlight hits earth at all, and efficiency keeps going up. much less than 0.1% of the earth has solar panels, so with solar alone we can increase energy production more than a trillion times more than today.
- it doesn't address the potential other energy sources like fusion, which have capacities far beyond fossil fuels.

All of this has the net effect of the paper sounding smart but its only applicable in a scenario where technological progress stops and we never truly leave the planet.

I actually think it's good for people to think of plan B options, but plan A should be to build tech, get off planet, and have a trillion+ hunans living in luxury.
