Providing my overlords are willing to forfeit an 18% productivity decline.

According to Tim, this will allow people to communicate, connect and collaborate. (Probably other alliterative things as well.)

This makes it sound like Tim can sell the big building he's been trying to fill since the pandemic. Perhaps it can be used as a real go-kart track. People will have to come into the office to actually use the track.

This whole tiktok uproar is reminding me of the yellow cake testimony that was used to get into the Iraq war.

Keep encrypted backups of their content online totaling say 70% of their content. Available to serve up as a stream of course.

Actually, they *implied* at least three.

Bing is really taking off.

The car just needs a subscription to "Get OTA Updates While Parked On Incline".

Email the man his severance notice and find a better employee.

We're currently on our way to the cloud right now. (Well, trading an in house cloud for an external cloud.) All work spaces and servers are headed for foggy land. The bill is going to be awesome.

Funny story:

Years ago, I worked on a small system for the Feds. When I inherited the system, it generated 2 or 3 problem tickets a day.

The client told me he didn't want to continue the cycle of breaking what was just fixed with every new release. So long as I did that, we'd get along fine. I corrected what I inherited as well as implementing new requirements. The system did not generate a trouble ticket for the next 5 years. Life was good.

Then a db admin, accidentally deleted a critical table for the system.

Get the US government involved?

For a libertarian, this should go no further than your local town council, county board at most.

Prime, like all other services gets rotated. I will be cancelling Prime and probably not renewing for the next 6 months to a year. I just ordered a years worth of non-perishable items so I can do just that.

On several products that I buy, Prime cost more than buying the product w/o Prime. Sometimes the Prime shipping out performs the normal shipping, but usually, the products I buy arrive either the same day or maybe a day later. "Meh..." is appropriate.

On the video offering, I'd like a big 'ol patented Amazon "Prime Only" button that persists my choice when clicked. Amazon has gotten somewhat better with identifying shows that are NOT Prime friendly, much better than they used to be. However; don't advertise a series as "Free with Prime" and then want payment for episodes 4 through the end of the series. Same with multiyear series. Either put all seasons/episodes on Prime or mark them clearly as "Ads/Hooks/Draws".

What defines a robot? Does it have to be a physical thing or can it be a collection of bits?

Where I work, we have software 'bots that process routine tasks. (You know, stuff that could be automated.) Is that a taxable robot? When I spin up 50 of the same 'bot, does that get taxed as 50 'bots, or just 1?

Do the 'bots get taxed only when they are working? If I kick off 50 'bots, but they're only working for 2 minutes in a day, do I get to divide the tax by the minutes in a day and pay for only when the 'bots were working?

Nothing creative.

decides they too want to stream 4k content.

By all appearances, battery is still shaped the same as it was in 2013. Last time I charged it was back in May or so.

But, I think it's time for it to hit the bin bucket.
