That HTTP request would also show up in the advertisers web logs with your origin IP address.

My email provider allows for unlimited aliases. So, while I have 600+ email addresses, emails to them all end up in the same mailbox.

I do this too. The unique email address I create for each is identifiable to the place I’m using it. This has other benefits. If an organization you created and account with sells or has a data breech you know exactly which company it was when you start receiving spam or phishing email directed to that address. This is also nice because you can “black hole” that email address and all the spam goes with it even future spam not sent yet.

So far, speaking from experience, we saved loads of money DIY’ing it, even when deploying to the cloud, and we saved loads of time, in the long run.

First, I’m glad its working for you up to now. I’ve been in similar orgs. It works great, until it doesn’t. Have you had an production outage yet from a datacenter or hardware failure yet?

Should I ask home much did your Broadcom licensing renewal cost you this year?

If you hire talented workers, you save money and time, by DIYing the approach, as long as it’s done in a sane, and controlled manner.

Talented workers that know the systems are great, and if you’ve built your own systems and processes finely tuned to your specific applications performance needs and profiles, it also means you’ve got a highly specialized infrastructure and app stack. You’ve possibly built yourself a scaling problem because the skill needed to understand and maintain your well performing one-off solution isn’t ubiquitous. As your organization’s needs scale it will be tied directly to the additional limited specialized and expensive staff needed. Again, this may not be an issue with your org today, but it may not have hit this need yet. This is the “Only time will tell” component that is so important. As in, your sample size may not be large enough to know if your org made the right decision or not yet.

Wise companies have limited themselves to the basics

“Wise” is subjective here. Using a cloud vendor’s implementation can yield many times more efficiency, simplicity, stability, scalability, and agility vs rolling you own. Does it come with the cost of vendor lock-in? It absolutely can. Will that make migration to another vendor difficult? It will.

So for organizations that never embraced the cloud alternatives have had to maintain their own infrastructure or use commodity solutions, as you mentioned, to deliver their IT needs. How much more was spent using a general purpose approach with higher portability to deliver the same result vs a cloud providers proprietary version? Then include the time component.

Only time will tell.

For a CEO these days that’s an accomplishment to earn just a shrug.

The ACA was a victory. Do we need better? Absolutley! However, I’m not sure if you remember healthcare before it. Remember “pre-existing conditions” or being charged for wellness checkup? Also, women paid significantly more for healthcare than men did. Balancing that back to equal was important.

Dad gave a me a toy so it is ok that he gets drunk and gives me the belt bulk. No wonder peasants can’t seem to see the picture

If you’re “all or nothing” you’ll get nothing. We could have had real change on Climate Change too if “cap and trade” was adopted, but someone just like you said it didn’t go far enough, and we got nothing instead.

There has also been very little action towards anti-competitive practices for a very long time.

Obama establishing the CFPB was a pretty big win for Americans.

One that’s happy with a refilled toner.

Here’s the challenge. Is it possible to create a refilled/remanufactured toner cartridge as good as an original? Absolutely! Is the one you’re buying meet that standard? There’s no way to tell.

You could have bought a garbage refilled toner where the company did less than the minimum needed for it to function. There’s no standards body for these. The best you can do is buy from a company known to do good reman work. If you work at a company that still has a fleet of printers, and your IT team still maintains them, ask what brand they use.

I wasn’t suggesting buying on Amazon. I’m pointing out one oligarch is feeding on another, which may cause retaliatory actions by the other oligarch.

This book is also available on Amazon, which I imagine will cause some Zuck on Bezos frowning at their next trump meeting.

Thank you for posting this. I had always understood creation of a qubit was a solved problem. This was an area of Quantum Computing I didn’t know was a problem in search of a solution.

It has, and its not just games though. Clothes, cars, movies, anime, even food all have trends. There are those that innovate, and those that imitate.

The Merge was executed on September 15, 2022. This completed Ethereum’s transition to proof-of-stake consensus, officially deprecating proof-of-work and reducing energy consumption by ~99.95%.

I don’t follow crypto trends so I hadn’t heard about this either.

I had to look up proof-of-stake, and for Ethereum apparently is required to stake 32 coins to operate a node. Another google search shows me a single Ethereum coin is just north of $2k USD. So someone mining Etherium today needs to have more than $64k if Etherium to even run a node now?!

Does Sheets and the rest of the Google suite handle this well?

It does.

I’ll also be the first to say that many of these use cases should not be using a spreadsheet for the kind of work that is occurring and a database is much more appropriate, but we know “should” rarely is present in modern companies or enterprises.

Replaced in what context?

This was really confusing to me too from the context of the article. Here’s what I’m guessing. At the top of the article it has this:

So even though the article doesn’t say it, I’m guessing if a user were to search Google maps and find the restaurant, inside the details where was previously a link to “Book a reservation”…through Opentable. The article is saying that for this person’s restaurant Google is no longer showing the Opentable link, and instead showing a Google link driving by the AI. Those screenshots being what the user would see if they try to put in a reservation.

The logical suggestion is if the user were to:

• navigate directly to Opentable, they could successfully make reservation.
• navigate to the restaurant’s website and try to book a reservation, they’d be redirected to Opentable where they would successfully make a reservation.

So the issue, I think, is trying to book a reservation directly from Google Maps results.

I have been using collaboration with Microsoft products for decades with little issue.

You’ve had 60+ people all in a single Excel spreadsheet on Sharepoint all making changes at the exact same moment and never once had a issue of a document lock or file corruption? Its okay to have a preference for one product over the other, but when you’re blinded by brand loyalty where you can see no wrong with your preferred product, it makes you lose credibility.

Google Docs has done very little to innovate.

The place where I see Google Docs being far superior to any other product I’ve run into is collaborative work. Having multiple people writing in the same doc at the simultaneously is a train wreck in most products Office365 included. In other products there’s a good chance you’ll have a version conflict and someone’s changes will be lost. Google docs handles that with ease.

So it’d be nice if there was a system that actually looked out for children

Here’s the rub. Who’s version? Would your universal system protect just against gambling type things? How about sex stuff? Just porn or more? How much more? Should the system block anything related to questions or statements about homosexuality?

How about things that might be against a particular faith?

There’s no one set of rules that all parents can agree on as to what their children should or shouldn’t have access to. Until then, how can one system do what you’re asking?

It seems like the most practical way to approach this as an airline passenger is to place your battery into superposition where the battery can be both within arm’s reach, but also stowed away. Warning, do not observer or interact with the battery while the flight is in the air lest you collapse the waveform and lose superposition.
