Google has handled themselves better than the content providers in past disputes, and the providers typically fold. I think Google has garnered goodwill by proactively reducing their prices etc.

I now have to imagine that Quantum Game Theory is a thing that exists.

This is the classic case of development velocity pitted against operational stability. Entirely different incentives, and when vested into the same role that role is bound to prioritize one incentive over the other. For this reason I think they must be separated at least by body if not by team. They certainly need to separated by different managers.

I tend to think QA is perhaps well situated alongside Ops("DevOps"), and very close to Product + Design.

Didn’t Corea and Fleck also do something along those lines with a third person? I remember the name “Trio”. Can’t remember who the third was though.. maybe Jean Luc Ponty or Stanley Clark?

You’re lucky! Schwab is fantastic, and I use it for all my personal banking and brokerage, but most employer 401ks have been through fidelity and others.

There really needs to be consumer protections against software-EOL due to mergers/acquisitions, or google just killing things for no reason.

Any commercial software based service like this needs to be a contract with consumer society.

Yeah. It just made me think how nice “software memorial services” could be for people to express gratitude for these endeavors.

Or, or... and bear with me here... or, packaged click-button solutions with paid (contractually obligated) dedicated product support is a better use of our short time, more often than not.

Yeah, MS has been pretty vague so far on gha usage. Basically “have fun; don’t go crazy”. I imagine they are waiting and collecting more data before opting to impose any specific usage constraints.

This argument already played out between the carrier and sub fleets during the Cold War. The carrier is not the next battleship, that’s just lazy analysis.
