Boohoo the billion dollar giant can't do the same thing that regional sports have been doing for the last 20! years with the likes of NFL and Baseball.

Words matter. Words in advertising should matter. The slope is ice when we allow corporations to wordsmith around what they sell you.

So why does Salesforce still prosper? They are just a fancy database.

"No one gets fired for buying Microsoft" "No one gets fired for buying AWS" "No one gets fired for buying Cloudflare"

Perhaps the most graceful death of a tech company is that sentiment? Before some perception shift?

How many words does it take to say QoS(quality of service)?

Too many apparently.

This problem has been solved but much like our bigger and faster computers efficency takes a back seat for MORE. Just throw MORE at it and the problem is solved. It's a failure of tech, capitalism, and the environment.

Dev environments, and testing.

Macs are the best at virtualizing macs.(look up hackintosh to see how many hoops must be jumped through on non mac hardware)

I echo your statement and to take it a step further:

In corporate politics there is only one thing that 'wins' and that is profitability. That profitability comes from the workforce so the top leaders are usually very motivated, democratic people because the best ideas win and you need people on your side.

Thinking about the public sector, there is no KPI for a 'win'. When we try to start using statistics it becomes 'political', skewered, or hand waved away as a complex marcoeconomic force.

It's also just like any 4x strategy game. You can harvest resources and build and build but once those resources are depleted they deplete very fast because you have grown capacity for intake.

I'm glad we aren't worried about peak oil anymore but the climate and food scarity is going to be the next pitfall to avoid.

Each Office 365 tenant does not have a personal Exhange server. The sending smtp server is being shared and can be verified with the email headers. That is how this flaw works.

I feel like an idiot because I see the same behavior with the variable 'not in my organization' with transport rules and how many false positives I've had. I can clearly see the usage of different exchange servers being used in my environment when my company acquires a bunch of users. It falsely flags them because they are using a different shared exchange resource.

I found a provider (NYU Lagone) that uses Epic since early 2010s.

I've heard problems with people who use the tool but as a patient to be able go see a decade plus of my hospital visits, checkups, scans, and x rays is pretty amazing.

I was going to write a witty intellectual comment about capitalism at work but with further reflection it needs to come from "both sides".

The economically disadvantage use plastic in their everyday life and an arbitrary tax on it would negatively effect them and make their lives harder.

At the same time they can see through the income gap that those who could afford an increase of plastic still shit all over the environment and would further lead to a divide in the issue.

The most recent example of this is people complaining about plastic straws whilst private jet use in unabated.

Etys sellers who hold more than the FDIC insured limit? Yes the limit should be raised by a degree but we can't bail out everything all the time.

Are your computers and networks secure?

If you operate in 1% space of wealth there are and should be risks. Making everything the lowest common denominator literally leaves us with Camacho for president.

Nothing allowed that could influence elections. Oh gee, I'm sure that wouldn't be abused at all.

I believe what the parent meant was that SPAM blocking relies heavily on keywords, and strings. With the advent of chat gpt we go beyond a/b testing and push it to into the every infinite way of someone conning you to click on something through email.
