Your response was to the poster who said "It's a complex system, a feedback loop." That about sums it up. Your seven people operate inside this system. They don't have complete freedom to do what they want willy nilly.

For the physicists here I would greatly like to hear an opinion on what presents the greater physics challenge: keeping the ocean out at the depth of 13K feet or containing a spacecraft's atmosphere in the vacuum of space. I suspect it

In some areas of the economy, there truly were inflationary pressures that led real price increases. But there's always the human element and FOMO at play. Once "we're experiencing inflation" became a thing, it also pres

Obviously there seem to be some compelling reasons why the choice of a carbon hull was a faulty idea to begin with. The CEO would have been familiar with those critiques and proceeded anyway, presumably because of counter arguments he put m

They are licensed as a money transmitter like Western Union. It is a lessor form of regulation. So while they look "bank like" in some things they are not legally a bank.

I'm saying this with extreme snark, but wait until smart homes become more commonplace and you won't be able to walk past your thermostat without Amazon pitching you new filters every six weeks over the smart speakers. Yes, there&

I would venture a guess the logic in some of these cases has a healthy does of practical wisdom baked in. On sailing vessels they are/were? chaotic, violent, noisy, and the crew perhaps wasn't the most experienced/educated(?)

This is exactly what I would expect them to do. Amazon (AWS) sells compute resources and generative AI may be a gold mine for that. They need to have the tools and mindshare in place early for this market.

Not at all ragequitting and not degrading to NPR. Staying on the platform tacitly implies NPR accepts the label ...which would be degrading, from their perspective.

Thanks for the reference. Spinning up individual containers has become quite easy these days, but agree networking still takes some work to get everything playing together nicely.

Yes, agree, expect would have seen more of an uproar if this was wide spread. Was trying to stay out the troubleshooting rabbit hole, thus posting the Q here in case other have observed the same. Still, with the other browsers proclaiming m

Please correct me if I am wrong here regarding Ghostery functionality: In current Firefox & Vivaldi versions it behaves as you would expect....blocks ads according to your settings for every tab load. But in chrome, the default behavior

No, I never said Facebook is justified to do whatever they want because of their desire to reap more profits. Slight tangent: I don't disagree with your comments about regulation. Back to my earlier point, FB stands to lose more if the

My take? This is really a pretty simple equation for FB. Politcal ads = good business opportunity ....perhaps essential. Since FB tends to be a self-reinforcing echo chamber on both ends of the political spectrum, political ads will keep us

Well, given the subject here, it seems relevant to ask how everyone is organizing their libraries in Calibre. Is there such a thing as "best practices"? Would really love to hear ideas as I've found library mgmt in Calibre to

Between this and the Samsung Fold it feels like we have entered into the netbook (form factor) era* void. We're past peak smartphone development and are in this space where manufacturers are stumbling around for the next "it"

So far, the government seems to not have provided any legal justification for this move. Would love to hear input from someone with legal experience that can shed some light on how the appeals process may look and the reasons why one side m
