Do the same back until they knock it off. Keep pointing out to Russian citizens that Putin is a slimy dictator who suppresses the press and real democracy.
Isn't there a general auto slump? There was pent up post-recession demand, but now things are settling back to normal demand. Other car makers are cutting also.
I'll take reliable over "speed". If it's reliable, one generally learns to work around the slow areas, such as reducing YouTube resolution if it's not a video that needs it. If it's unreliable, then you often get stuck with nothing, and have to go out and get a life while it's jammed up.
I live in a relatively populated area and we still have crappy telecom choices. We even upgraded to a "faster" plan, and it still jams up on weekends. They simply spread bandwidth too thin, and blame it on wind, sun-spots, Meryl Streep, etc.; everything except their over-selling. Same song and dance for 7 years.
We saw the demo in the online conference. We joked it would announce, "Fred is picking his nose in cubicle 47, which is a violation of health and safety guidelines! Fred will be escorted out..."
On a serious note, maybe nobody has really tried it. Dogs instinctively rely on their noses. People may have to train and practice. Being upright, we kind of have to go out of our way to sniff the ground a lot. It would take athletic training and conditioning to bend often, or use a shoveling device. Is that cheating?
A handful of deaf people have learned to use echo location to navigate by making clicking sounds. I tried it myself and indeed I got better over time, but not near as accurate as them. I found short "s" sounds more useful than clicks, more of a "ts, ts, ts...". I joke I accidentally discovered it while cussing: "shit! shit! shit!.....McAfee!"
They don't have "Cosmos Express", like their crippled "Express" version of MS-SQL-Server? (One core, limited size, no easy way to back-up, & missing misc. features.)
Neither can I with all the crazy layers our new stack has. I either have to ask for help or spend hours googling and fiddling.
I suspect all these layers will byte the org in the ass 5 or 10 years down the road. Some layers will be outdated and stop working with others and/or new browsers, have newly-discovered security holes, and/or nobody will remember how they work and/or how to fix them.
I'm sure in 5 to 10 years some newfangled stack/tool will be "the in thing" and everybody will have forgotten about this one.
It's nice when the layers work because they can take care of a lot of nitty gritty details and (in theory) protect you from future UI fad changes, but they also can create a Failure Sandwich when they "rot" over time.
I'm all for frameworks, but this a Dagwood Sandwich of sub-frameworks. I have a bad feeling about this, but I'll just have to ride the Titanic to its conclusion. At least I get a paycheck (for a while) and free violin music.

Currently we don't do it at the scale they do.

We got the stupid president, you got the stupid laws. If this keeps up, we'll both have both.
The future is bad karaoke. I'm depressed now.
I've heard similar stories from interior decorators for rich folk. They squabble over everything.
It's their instinct/habit to get the best deal and pay the least. It's probably what got them rich, but makes them annoying as h&ll to work with.
Americans will build the best submarines on Mars. We know space submarines; we do fantastic work; everyone knows that.
So the franchise jumped the shark-face.

And bundled with "Twinkie SQL"
You mean ANTSY SQL

Sorry, I meant blind people. Slashdot is deaf to correction mode requests.
Must ... resist ... Trump ... jokes ...
How about an experiment.

Throw in the VW engineers while you are at it.
They just use the same time machine O used to put a fake birth announcement in the 1961 Hawaiian newspaper.
To back up Express, the script has to shut it down (stop the process), copy the data files, and then restart it. That's risky.
And they all use the same restroom ;-)
Seriously, you'd think they let you have a choice: flat, flat with transparency, Windows3.1 look, Windows95 look, Windows ME look, Jewels, etc.
I remember XP, I think, I had some choices.

They might make it aggressively scan everything repeatedly so that your PC is slug-city. ...Oh wait, that's McAfee.
I once had a sociopath co-worker who broadcast criticism of my work to everybody and their dog. If I did the same back, he had a fit.
If it applies to Kardashians, I'm for it.
