Like Microsoft almost missed the Internet boat in 1995.
Not quite. They were actively pushing their own proprietary view of a wide area network (in competition with the likes of Compuserve, AOL and others). I was working at Boeing at the time and fiddling around with their Intranet (TCP/IP, open protocols, etc.). And Microsoft was actively pulling strings to get us to adopt their stuff and give up on open protocols. They knew what the Internet was, and were hoping it would go away.
IBM was making money by the truckload while Microsoft was bumbling around with DOS. If you wait with the innovation step until it shows up in revenue, you are too late.
They just had bad attorneys writing up the agreement. It should be something along the lines of a 'volume discount'. Where the the volume needed for terms to kick in are defines as 100% of a customer's business.
... this chain of events is predicated on a breakdown in some government agreements necessary to support the required ongoing geo-engineering tasks. Fine. So how do they expect the Paris accords to work? What will happen if there's a change in consumer markets away from Teslas and back to diesel bro-trucks?
The National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center needs to realize that National Socialism one of the shortest-lived and most hated political movements on this planet. And if we depending on that for a solution, we are screwed. The only way to make a solution stick is to develop a technology that has an economic up-side which will make it 'stick' in the long term.
That form detailed how much the company was paying for the slot I was filling, my salary accounted for less than 40% of that.
So you weren't really a contractor. You were an employee of a job shop that sent you out on assignments. Carry the contract yourself and take home 100% of the fees.
You don't even have go to into a claustrophobic tube either,
I don't get this. I had an MRI on my head once. They asked me if I wanted Valium to calm myself down during the procedure (No). And gave me a button to push if I felt panic coming on. I dozed off* and they had to wake me when it was over.
*Something about my training to take advantage of a comfy foxhole between firefights.
Or git better. And get paid a contracting fee for your skills. Enough to cover your own insurance and other benefits. And take time off between gigs as you see fit.
That might work for Adobe. But people who use Autodesk products are pretty much screwed. Particularly if they have to submit datasets for permitting processes. Most building departments don't know how to handle anything else. And local building departments don't want to handle local storage for construction documents. Hence 'The Cloud'. And if you need to electronically sign your submitted drawings, that will be done through AutoCAD's built-in function which is undoubtedly tied to your serial number or software lease identity.
Back when my city's building department was discussing processes for electronic signing of permit submittals, their IT 'experts' had no clue that any stand-alone methods or products even existed. They had been trained by Autodesk to believe that only the built-in function would be suitable.
old-fashioned signals to boxes that the cord-cutting generation doesn't use anymore?
SMS messages and the 'old-fashioned' EAS broadcasts serve only to direct the population to tune to news sources for further information and instructions. It boggles my mind that the people conducting the system test would not have contact information at hand with which they could have announced the mistake. And that people receiving what appeared to be a real alert would not tune to the local news as instructed.

But the ubi money still have to come from somewhere.
From a punitive tax on those who try to have more than the agreed upon standard income.
doesn't resolve the fundamentals that permitted them to come into being in the 1st place.
Preferential tax treatment for mergers and acquisitions.
So it can autonomously park behind Lil' John's cocktail lounge. Big deal. Our cops have been doing that for years.
We're looking at you.
I thought it was almost lunchtime.
Could it say something about people who use Microsoft products?
This.
They are already overpaying for second rate crap.

This would be roughly 2003
But today. No thanks.
I would if it were a hot looking seal.

Simple solution: Incorporate.

It is very distressing on a lot of kids though,
Evidently, these aren't the same kids that think it's a blast to crawl into a garbage can and roll down a hill.

And that the 'official' news channel cannot be unilaterally re-prioritized by the carriers to make room for streaming cat videos.
