This is great! Love it! Thanks for sharing.

I would love this approach! Let existing users stay on a grandfathered plan that keeps the same price and features unless they want to upgrade!

But same for video. I would never buy 3 streaking service at a time.

This is an awesome sounding typo.

I am so sad and angry on your son’s behalf. Kudos to him for all his hard work!

Basically any of the power features (power pivot, power query).

On Fedora KDE.

Office, specifically Excel. I use it professionally for work and the lack of feature parity in Linux alternatives (Libre Office and Only Office, specifically) are a perpetual thorn in my side.

I do my best to use Linux alternatives in my personal life, and, if necessary, use the MS web version of Excel but every so often I run into something that can only be done in the full desktop version and I have to boot back into Windows.

I’ve heard of WinBoat and https://github.com/winapps-org/winapps, but at least when I tried them they were too resource heavy to realistically run on a laptop

For anyone curious and lazy:

Speaking at the World Economic Forum at Davos, Switzerland on Tuesday, Nadella pontificated about what would constitute such a speculative bubble, and said that the long-term success of AI tech hinges on it being used across a broad range of industries — as well as seeing an uptick in adoption in the developing world where it’s not as popular, the Financial Times reports. If AI fails, in other words, it’s everyone else’s fault for not using it.

Nadella explained the pitfalls the AI industry would need to avoid, perhaps betraying his own anxieties about its future.

“For this not to be a bubble by definition, it requires that the benefits of this are much more evenly spread,” Nadella said, as quoted by the FT. The “tell-tale sign of if it’s a bubble,” he added, would be if only tech companies were benefitting from the rise of AI. He gave the example of a pharmaceutical company using AI to accelerate drug trials; it doesn’t need to be used to discover the “magical molecule,” but provide some other tangible, less extraordinary benefit to developing the product.

Nadella is adamant that these kinds of boosts that AI provides will justify AI and carry the industry, stressing less spectacular and more practical applications of the tech.

“I’m much more confident that this is a technology that will, in fact, build on the rails of cloud and mobile, diffuse faster, and bend the productivity curve, and bring local surplus and economic growth all around the world,” he proclaimed.

Sprinkles was founded in 2005 by Candace Nelson, opening its first location in Beverly Hills. The brand later made headlines in 2012 when it launched what it billed as the world’s first cupcake ATM — a novelty that helped fuel the cupcake craze nationwide. That same year, the company was sold to a private equity firm.

Fucking private equity…

Congrats on the kiddo!

How crazy would it be if Trump’s corruption and conflicts of interest are what gets us to invest in cold fusion and make it a practical, scalable energy source.

Doubt it. Probably end up like another one of his casinos.

Wooooo! 🇲🇼 Warm heart of Africa!

That hot sauce is indeed delicious. Great blend of heat and flavor!

The other inscriptions on the fired casings:

“notices bulges”

capital “O-W-O what’s this?”

Inscriptions on the three unfired casings:

“hey fascist!” “catch!” Up arrow symbol, right arrow symbol, and three down arrow symbols.

“Oh Bella Ciao, Bella Ciao, Bella Ciao, Ciao, Ciao.”

“If you read this, you are gay LMAO.”

Also:

A Wall Street Journal report, citing an ATF bulletin, had previously said the casings were “engraved with expressions of transgender and antifascist ideology.” The purported transgender symbols were later understood to relate to markings identifying the manufacturer.
