Honestly, that’s what I would need in my life/something that would do me good

Platform A has a 40% fee and requires price elsewhere to be the same. Manufacturer X sells their own product on their own website, at +40% their price.

This is bad for buyers and competition. Platform A is already big and important enough that you can’t skip it, and can drive up and control pricing generally.

If the requirement were not there, if platform A does not offer enough plus service for the 40% margin, other platforms would keep the prices at a reasonable level. People could buy from the manufacturer at their original price.

A marketplace important enough that you can’t skip it being able to dictate market conditions is how it manifests itself further as the primary player and controlling instance.

With wireless microphones, maybe you can keep talking on the toilet. The company could even provide you with a laptop or tablet to take with you. D:

It only makes sense if

• you want to drive up adoption because
  • you’re confident in usefulness already
  • want to find out about usefulness and need the userbase and usage for it
• you have ulterior motives to push for AI adoption

I can imagine leadership - disconnected from real work and any practical AI use experience - being misinformed and misguided into believing marketing and hype-cycle about gains. It also doesn’t seem implausible that leadership wants to drive up adoption to quickly gain feedback and results about usefulness and gains/loss.

In good faith, it requires a certain mindset (no care about the waste or potential loss or risk) and distance from practice. Not implausible, though, in my eyes.

Guter Artikel

Die Idee hinter der Norm ist nicht, dass die Ehre von Politikern mehr wert ist als die von Privatpersonen – das wäre offensichtlich nicht haltbar. Vielmehr geht es darum, das öffentliche Wirken insbesondere von Lokalpolitikern durch Falschbehauptungen zu schützen. Sinnvoll erscheint das etwa, wenn man an frei erfundene oder haltlose Korruptionsvorwürfe denkt. Sie können eine politische Karriere beenden oder verzögern, auch wenn sie sich später als unwahr herausstellen. Schaden nimmt dann nicht nur die betroffene Person, sondern die Demokratie selbst.

Nicht nur ‘beeinträchtigen’, sondern „öffentliches Wirken erheblich zu erschweren“. Das ist ja nochmal eine Hausnummer drüber.

When I access through Thunderbird via IMAP the emails have been rewritten. It’s not local to the Outlook client software.

I think my webmail is outlook.office.com, dunno if that’s the same as outlook.office365.com. It may be a org/account setting managed by my org. Maybe you also don’t receive emails with unlabeled links, where it’s very obvious that they’re replaced. On linked text, only if you notice the URL you’re opening.

I remember reading about how LibreOffice was better at recovering broken Excel files than Excel itself. It was a long time ago, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that still were the case at all.

Machinery is required to have a big red STOP button that will immediately stop all moving parts. For emergencies. I assume these cars don’t have something like that? Maybe they should be required to; stop and unlock all doors.

/edit: I see it’s mentioned/suggested in some other comments as well.

Outlook replaces weblinkes in emails as well, to a “safelinks” redirect URL. Certainly a security feature, but man it’s annoying. Not just the redirect, and the potential tracking, but when a readable URL to my build server build turns into a multiline cryptic unreadable mess and then pollutes my webbrowser history - fuck.

I already thought about a Thunderbird extension where I can replace them back to their original.

(My workplace uses Outlook.)

Next: Chameleon cars. Or maybe not. Russia doesn’t have the money or tech for it.

How would you call it? Fighting with or alongside the US? Or is it neither?

I’m pretty sure I read/saw a more recent case. But this serves as a good source/proof too. Thanks

Technically and practically much more open.

Slick, not burdened by ads and marketing.

I’ve always preferred threaded discussions over short messages or linear feed to read and take part in discussion and comments.
