I have a common first.last@gmail.com. Mostly they are typos; several of my dim-witted namesakes forgot either a number or middle initial when sharing their email address. The one really peculiar one though comes from Nigeria... this being odd since I have a very Irish name... and he doesn't.
But, I do get a kick hearing about the old rugby team meeting up, other people's family news, my gay namesake's dating issues, and other such joys. So, unless you are in Nigeria trying to use an Irish name, please keep it up; it makes for interesting entertainment, especially when in Gaelic.
We pay google and Microsoft slightly more than we would have for Microsoft alone, but we are not fully committEd to the MS absolution this way. Moving mail to MS would have been a painful process (total of about 1TB of mailboxes).
Truth be told, we did make some strategic mistakes that cost us some flexibility, but nothing too big.
Office365 is just a small hit; AutoDesk and Adobe (and engineering software) are where we spend real money.
Outlook calendar integration is quite solid. Comparing with Google calendar I would say G is a 7 and MS a 9. The things that google does badly can be painful depending on your workflow. Outlook/Exchange are also the go-to for many third-party applications.
Outlook. Without that, we could switch reasonably easily.
Problem for MS is they botched up with the recent update and our users are pissed.
Personally, I could go either way. The subscription cost is lower than the upkeep cost of stand-alone installs, as end users can be 90% responsible for it. But, we have GoogleDocs included with our email subscription so... something might need to give.
We switched to Office365 this month from 2010, and our end users are sick of it. They complain about re-authentication, along with bugs and other issues. Many people are switching back to our Google webmail instead.
For us, the price point is higher than where we want to be, given all the SaaS crap we are stuck with. I expect a defection inside a year.
Thanks for the info. So Sonos now gets its own vlan with a firewall on port 1400 to at least manage xss and remote code execution issues... Not perfect, but likely the best we can do.
It works pretty well, until you get into things like Sonos needing an encrypted stream for Amazon Music that you can't easily firewall and proxy at the perimeter. (Not that I know of Sonos as being vulnerable.)
It gets worse with things like the Echo, Apple TV, etc.
Urban sprawl never solves a problem. Increasing median miles travelled per person/household per week means more lane miles of roads required across and around the sprawl. There might be a step-improvement in roadway carrying improvement with Level 5 autonomy, but it will quickly be absorbed by an increased willingness to spend the same amount of time in traffic so you can have the picket fence.
The first step is to make walkable communities with jobs, services, amenities, and housing. The second step is to try and expand the low impact radius by making bicycling viable. Sure, eventually need cars, but when that is the de-facto mode of transportation you will always be building more roads and trying to repair the ones you have.
I'm no machinist, so excuse the analogies, but what about validation data while welding-- temperature, flow, speed tracking, etc. adding information that you cannot ascertain visually. Could help with learning the trade at a minimum, and manage complex tasks where thermal management and distortion comes into play.
What do you think the upper bound of accuracy is for each comparison?
Your average human might "know" 1,000 people, but I doubt they have more than a 2-3% failure rate, skewing to the higher end for people they don't see often. If you factor in the probability of a particular individual being in an area, things can be tightened up as well. (Potentially offsetting location probability against likelihood that someone is trying to conceal their identity.)
Facial recognition can only really work as part of a bigger system-- tracking of phone locations, license plates, tickets, etc., which is when it starts to get scary.
The issue is apparently validating the chain of custody of the loans if I understand correctly. This might have a big impact on loan securitization, which I have mixed feelings about. Long term it will make access to credit much more restricted, likely driving up costs. These loans have more than the principal in finance charges though, so I guess they expected to write off half of them.
Actually, the biggest problem is that the capacity factor in the winter months is closer to 15%, so you need 6x the battery capacity to cover the winter loads, but only 2.5x to cover the summer loads-- adding significant extra resources to make things work.
This can be offset with diverse sources of energy-- a healthy mix of wind and what hydro we can use, but yes, energy storage is a big part of making it work. Demand-side control can also help better match capacity.
Pumped hydro just requires more downstream reservoirs below major dams. Environmental issues to be sure, but it is possible. Likewise, batteries might not make sense today, but if the cost (and energy density) double in 10-12 years it might.
Ultimately, you need to pick a direction to move because most of these investments are 20-50 year planning horizons. If you say today that baseload power in 2040 is going to be natural gas, then you are stuck going down that road in economic terms. Musk is trying to influence the direction.
IMO, the problem isn't the use in airports; they can easily enough tag you today and follow you through the facility-- it is when that database gets commercialized for advertising and similar uses.
The bigger threat is likely in behavior prediction long term.
My biggest gripe is that Apple hasn't bothered to fix their samba implementation to not drop connections several times per day. It is criminal, and I assume they just don't care about selling macs in business environments any more.
In my field (architectural engineering), the biggest issue is an employee leaving and starting their own company. This could be someone just below $100k, and there is a high chance they would take a client with them.
But I am in California, so there really isn't much you can do.
Then keep the phone close; it isn't rocket science! While it might not work especially well, put the watch on the inside of your wrist if you are that abusive. Or, go for the ceramic one that is pretty frigging robust.
Traveling Laos and to a lesser degree rural Thailand many years ago, there was a Lordy that came through town once a week as a pop-up store. You could order things in advance, or buy what they had on the truck.
It is a simple system, and works for many small communities that are at least accessible by road. Sure, it is more expensive to operate, but it scales to demand.
I usually have $500 on me, split between my wallet/money clip and my backpack. I rarely use it though, as the credit card gives me money back.
For some random reason a few years back I had to walk a few blocks with $100k in cash on me-- I had to transfer the money between banks for immediate availability. That was a little more on the uncomfortable side, although I was more worried about dropping it that being mugged.

Exactly; people just traditionally associate it with transient or low income housing but it can be so much more.

Do you know what the system lamda is for pumped hydro? For batteries, I come up with $0.07-0.12 depending on the exact operating mode.

Agree that the latter is the real concern... along with the ability for such a manager to sabotage the remaining company by encouraging turnover.

Get an Apple Watch...
It was something where I realized payment was made from the wrong account for something big. The bulk of my concern was from the teller's grin...

The EU aspect is what makes that unnecessary for businesses. A single presence gives you access to the whole market.
Same size as Lake Erie.
