I wonder what it's like inside the big cloud providers. I think outside Microsoft they've always been security first, but this new era has to be crazy town.

Their 10 year maturity bonds are pushing towards 15% yields too. I mean, if all works out, someone's making a nice return

I think they mean the parents. I got 5 emails from the kids school today, and have regular calendar events related to the kids. So yeah this is for parents

why build one when you can build two for twice the price?

Yeah this disposable prototype model is common I suspect. I see it used regularly

Latency seems higher, much higher sometimes, and variable. I need to complete the LAN cable runs I started long ago :-)

When I first saw Claude generating PPT decks by writing Python code instead of making the XML directly, it was sort of an "aha moment" for me. This seems to be the path for many things. It also feels slightly limiting, and like a hack LONG term, but 100% correct approach for a while.

This sounds like specialized analog components. Not the modem.

You got it. Yeah some older SACDs are simply not available at any price it seems.

This isn't sustainable. Arguably margins were too low is some parts of semiconductor space, but we still need lower cost per transistor over time or were in trouble.

I've taken to buying SACDs when possible. The format supports higher dynamic range, but that barely matters. The mix is the bigger issue and SACD mixes are often better. Note you need an SACD player. And also note this only applies for playing on a proper HiFi or with good headphones at least. In your car, etc you probably want the compressed mix.

SharePoint/ OneDrive suck, but this policy change seems sane. What's crazy if anything is that they didn't have this policy before.

Teams is an 8 year old product and well. Something to think about.
