Your comment reminded me of a phrase from the essay Politics and The English Language by George Orwell:
prose consists less and less of words chosen for the sake of their meaning, and more and more of phrases tacked together like the sections of a prefabricated hen-house.
Doesnt this argument belie the competition promotes innovation thesis central to capitalism? Isnt the corollary of Googles argument that either a command & control/ communist/ authoritarian/ crony monopolistic form of politics/economics is in their opinion superior for innovation?
Leaf it out mate! Why? Kos Liz sez! Caesar the truth! Buy cabbagecoin!
treaties schmeaties - real men bosh bioweapons for breakfast and can easily bench-press five times their weight in whale carcasses! (strong arm emoji, fist emoji, whale emoji etc)
It did turn it back on for me - perhaps your system is different somehow
Stone tablets? Chisels?? Decadent opulence more like! I was daubing depictions of woolly mammoths using blunt twigs and me own palm prints before you knew you was born! â¦cheek of itâ¦
I sympathize with the desperation, but what do they think they are doing if not training their replacements? The companies arent employing them out of the goodness of their hearts. A reduction in entry level jobs and then presumably a precipitous decline later on in their careers if they are successful/good at the training?
5.25 inch hard drive? We should have been so lucky! Half a punch card, an abacus and a clip round the earhole and we would have thought wed died and gone to heaven!

would like to be proven wrong, but am getting worrying embrace, extend, extinguish vibes (see my comment about Ambisonics above)
Since its adoption by Google and other manufacturers as the audio format of choice for virtual reality, Ambisonics has seen a surge of interest. In 2018, Sennheiser released its VR microphone and Zoom released an Ambisonics Field Recorder. Both are implementations of the tetrahedral microphone design which produces first order Ambisonics. A number of companies are currently conducting research in Ambisonics: BBC Technicolor Research and Innovation/Thomson Licensing
/Dolby Laboratories have expressed "interest" in Ambisonics by acquiring (and liquidating) Barcelona-based Ambisonics specialist imm sound prior to launching Dolby Atmos, which, although its precise workings are undisclosed, does implement decoupling between source direction and actual loudspeaker positions. Atmos takes a fundamentally different approach in that it does not attempt to transmit a sound field; it transmits discrete premixes or stems (i.e., raw streams of sound data) along with metadata about what location and direction they should appear to be coming from. The stems are then decoded, mixed, and rendered in real time using whatever loudspeakers are available at the playback location.

In practice, failures in system development, like unemployment in Russia, happens a lot despite official propaganda to the contrary. -- Paul Licker
