Considerations which too many ignore mostly involve representations across different media

  - does it scale well? What does it look like when 20' tall banner at a conference? What does it look like in a favicon?
  - what does it look like when cropped? What about when repeated? Repeated with an offset? In general: if this is used as a background during a presentation, is it going to look okay?
  - what does it look like in grayscale? Black& white? How will it look when printed out faxed
  - does it translate well into being a 3d object?

These are the only logo considerations i tend to care about

Tell GPT-5 to predict the response given your message history if someone asks for child porn. if gpt-5 predicts you can be convinced to provide it, you're guilty

Alternate theory: every time someone claims. Quantum Supremacy, it will be disproven via increasingly complex simulations of quantum computers. This will be an arms race until it is ultimately proven that P=NP, and that quantum computers are just really good at feeding in the large number of hidden variables required for the conversion.

Quantum reality: real

Superposition: almost certainly a misunderstanding

The math that currently drives quantum the theory: very real and very important and very good at predicting final states, but not "actual" descriptions of reality

Just a prediction, backed up by nothing.

I bet the people doing the monitoring aren't authorised to see half the customer information I see on a daily basis. There's a leak right there

My experience with remote working has been: all concerns were completely invalid. Employees are more productive than ever. Why would you add surveillance when all the productivity gains seem to be due to increased freedom??

Slums 2.0 will involve apps that help people pool together enough money to rent a building, and rather than having "personal" living-space, will optimise room availability on a minute-by-minute basis

This is the actual reason. Perhaps this was your point, but I don't think you specifically mentioned it: changing the extension "breaks the file", by making its type no-longer known. There is no valid reason for a non-technical user to want to do this, so it is not a good idea to let users change it "by accident". Ever field a tech support call before "hiding extensions" was the norm? 90% of them were "my file is corrupt" because somebody renamed "Unitled3.doc" to "Report", and had absolutely no idea how to handle it / what was going on.

The extension is *definitely* not the problem there.

Having the exact same action ("double click") perform two entirely distinct functions:

  1. View a file
  2. Execute a program with all of the permissions of the current user

is the issue. In what universe is *that* a good idea?

I don't care. If you're dead, you should have absolutely zero rights.

That does nothing to help the problem. It isn't "management", either. It's just broken software.

True DRM, ie: something which actually tries to keep track of what I have the right to use, do, and consume, based on the often fickle nuances of intentional IP law, I would pay money for

And they seem to think it's okay to stop at "building" when describing a location.

The vast majority of "destinations" in the world which one might want to find on a map are some sub-division of a building. And many others span across multiple buildings.

It baffles me to no end that it is apparently easier to convince people that the entire world should operate on a different schedule, than it is to convince people that individual buildings should have opening hours that make sense based on their requirements.

Whenever people want to touch the 2nd amendment, it seems that there's always someone who seems to be of the opinion that if you want to touch the amendments, you ought to start at the top of the list.

His launch is not likely to influence his beliefs. Not due to the strength of his convictions, but because he only planned to go up about 600 meters.

Note that the bare-minimum for being able to detect the curvature of the earth with the naked eye, in ideal / cloudless conditions, is over 10,000 meters. The most-common views that one typically sees of the "curved earth" / thinks of when considering the curvature of the earth, are from the the international space station (or other orbits of roughly that area), which averages 400,000 meters from the earth's surface.

600 meters much less than he'd get from riding in an airplane. If he didn't trust the windows on those things, and wanted a definite unobstructed view, he could just get into a normal hot air balloon - those tend to go up a little more than 600 meters, on average.

There aren't enough cables. The Internet is such absurdly critical infrastructure, and we have only a handful of cables even for the most-dense connections. While the Internet routes around damage efficiently, the amount of time it takes to route around damage is longer than would be desired these days (where an assumption of failure is the norm for critical applications), and a small reduction in capacity could easily be catastrophic.
