So the tool (in this case, Excel) was not the problem but it was the people using the tool. Cool.

and you're basically given to choose either stop backing up your iMessage or pay $1/mo for the extra 50gb

This doesn't explain the case when the author uploaded and downloaded a new file, and there was no big diff in file size. The file size diff only seems to be happening to the author's older video files.

This is happening not only in FAANG companies but also a lot (if not, all) of companies. Unless you are in a hyper-growth company, you are more likely to see this kind of performance management process to continuously review and cut.

> But I think more public media should move their content to their own services (as a way to make a statement)and keep it free.

Technically, it's not free. Nothing is rarely free in this world. Our (people working in the US) tax dollars go to NASA and they use this money to build and support this new streaming system. Is this going to worth the effort and money? We will see.

I would love to understand the decision behind this when they have been "fine" with Twitch and YouTube all these years.

> No it’s not, its the literally the name the government gave those plans.

Please re-read the article and my comment. Neither said anything about who named these plans. The fact is that the name itself is misleading people.

Also, the article gives a few examples how the private insurance companies _tricks_ people to think that MA plans are always better. I worked at one of these big insurance companies, and we implemented products and worded things in a way to ensure that we increase the growth of the Medicare Advantage plans. At the time, I genuinely thought the Medicare Advantage plans were always better but that is not the case. It's actually very difficult to choose which one would be better and the fact that it's really hard to change exacerbates the situation.

You don't have to agree with me. You are one of better people who can understand these plans better. Consider people with less education on this subject and have some empathy. You might think this differently.

The fact that these privatized plans have "Medicare" and "Advantage" in their names tricks people regardless of their original intention.

Probably worse for recruiters since they are the first ones to go in markets like this.

I believe they are already throwing a lot more money to bring more apps. The investment in Cyanogen would be very small compared to how much they throw into app developers and companies to bring more WP apps.

...yea it's easy to say when most people here should know how hard it is to ship any complicated system on multiple platforms. Actually, just making an app work for all major versions of Android could be a nightmare. And...what do you mean "they won't speed up their process"? Microsoft has released zero-day security bug fixes less than 90 days so many times before.

If Microsoft kills ActiveX in the new browser, it will force everyone to stop depending on ActiveX. You would be very surprised how many websites outside of the U.S. still depend on ActiveX, and these are critical websites like banking and government. Hence, killing ActiveX support is important to me.

I will give it a try if the new browser no longer supports ActiveX and has better extension supports similar to Chrome.

works perfectly fine on Chrome, IE, and Firefox.
