If there’s a stop sign you’d need to come to a stop even if there’s no pedestrians at the cross walk. If cars would stop when there’s a pedestrian then they only need to stop when there’s a pedestrian.
As someone who seldom drives, sure put up a stop sign. But it would be better for drivers if it didn’t have to come to that.
Microsoft is currently pushing everyone to use office on the cloud, so they kinda are making office work on Linux (in a web browser).
Outlook running natively on windows is currently being phased out, Of course the cloud services version of outlook sucks eve more than the native version, and that’s saying something. It looks like it’s just hotmail to me. But that’s what they’re pushing everyone to. I wouldn’t be surprised if the start phasing out other office products running natively in the coming years. Office already does everything it can to save files to one drive.
Cloud services are making them money, so much like how they’re putting AI into everything, they also seem to want to put everything on the cloud because… more cloud money! After all you can’t just continue to use the older version of excel installed on your computer when excel exists in the cloud. You’ll have to pay a subscription to continue using their software because it lives in the cloud.
Yeah your strategy would make sense if Microsoft were still the machiavellian schemers they used to be. But now they just seem to be chasing after money in the short term in whatever looks to be growing (cloud services and AI) with no real long term strategy at all. And they really really want people to pay a subscription to use their software. But in their greed they just might kill their Windows business.
Yeah but it would take some amount of skill to set that up. With AI you can ask it how many times an employee said “please” and “thank you” and it will give an answer.
Of course the answer may be just made up, but you don’t care, you provide the numbers to your boss and get bonus points for being hip to the new AI tech. Your boss doesn’t care because the numbers all go into a database which another AI will “analyze” and the company can say they are a data driven AI native company and billionaires buy more shares. They don’t really care either because at some point when they all see each other at whatever is the present day version of Epstein Island and they’ll all decide to all short AI all at once. They make money on everything with AI hype when the stock go up and they’ll make more when the whole thing crashes.
You just gotta understand how the tech business works!
Sodium Ion is a real game changer. But I doubt it will compete with Lithium Ion on energy density anytime soon.
But that’s not necessary to make major changes in the power grid. Solar and wind is already cheapest form of energy generation even considering the expense of Lithium to store the energy when renewables aren’t generating. If you’re just installing stationary battery banks, you don’t care that much about the energy density as you would for a battery in a car or phone. Set up banks of cheap sodium ion batteries strategically and not only do you have plenty of power stored for when it’s not sunny or windy, you may avoid widespread power outages when power lines are downed.
Stop trying to make BRICS happen it’s not going to happen.
Also it sounds like you want BRICS to be a group of country where they don’t have freedom of speech? Why would this be a good thing?
I think the pop-up crosswalk was just done for the advertisement, it’s not a permanent thing.
