Every modern OS will index the CONTENT of documents along with the FILENAME.
Well that's a lie. I can save text in a plain text file in Windows and Windows Search does not know anything but the filename. I just did it. Care to fib about something else?
You know the idea behind every version of Windows since 7, every version of MacOS since Spotlight was introduced (circa 2005) and every halfway decent Linux distribution is that you SEARCH for things rather than navigate menus, right? Click the start menu and start typing what you want. The vast majority of the time Windows will get you there before you've finished typing the entire word.
1) You do know that search does not have results for every setting, right? 2) You do know that it makes things MORE difficult by having people SEARCH by typing for a setting right?
Out of all the complaints -- many legitimate -- about changes to Windows over the years, this is by far the lamest. It's like beaming up to the Starship Enterprise and bitching that SOP is to tell the computer to navigate to Earth at Warp 6 rather than entering the precise coordinates into a keypad, f
WTF are you talking about? In no way is the newest version of Windows the equivalent of the Starship Enterprise. That's a huge flaw in your logic. These changes do not make Windows more advanced. That is a rather idiotic take.
followed by the precise fuel intermix ratio to achieve the desired speed, blah, blah, blah, all because you're unwilling to take the few days required to retrain your muscle memory to do things differently.
Again you assume that search actually finds the new setting.
With Microsoft continuing to play target practice with its own two feet, I expect Linux to become an even more viable alternative. LibreOffice is quite usable and games are quite playable using Lutris and Steam. I've been free from Windows for a year and a half now. Everything I do on both my laptop and desktop is now on Arch Linux using the Cinnamon Desktop Environment. There's no need for me to go back. I can even edit photos with GIMP. GIMP will do roughly 90% of what Photoshop will do.
If I searched my posting history, I'm sure I could find a
My point? I don't really have one, except that these sorts of predictions have a long history of proving to be wrong. Hence the forever meme "Next year is the year of desktop Linux!".
That said, I dumped Windows in early 2002 and I've never looked back and never regretted it, so Linux is and has been a completely viable platform for a long time.
Americans cost too much. It's more profitable to buy politicians and get foreigners to do the work.
Google pays the foreigners the same as it pays Americans. Maybe a little bit more, if you count the free immigration attorney work.
How about you train-up some American talent?
If just anyone could be trained up, that might make sense, but there's a big element of native talent and intelligence needed, and the US only has about 4% of the world's population. It makes a lot of business sense to look into the other 96% to see what you can find there. And its the moral thing to do, too. Kids in the US are already massively advantaged by their lucky break of being born here. Why not give others a chance?
Go to high schools, like the car makers used to, pick the most talented / gifted / hardworking students, and see if you can make something of them?
Google actually does that except they start a little bit later, with college freshmen and sophomores.
Why hire American when you can bring someone to America, pay them minimum wage, claim they're tipped to bring that down even further, and if they complain, fire them and let the State Department deport 'em?
Google pays its H1-B workers the same as US citizens, or green card holders, etc. There's no cost savings to be had there.
a lot of it post 1930s likely had to do with the state's embrace of Trofim Lysenko's utter bullshit & the persecution, imprisonment & execution of scientists who opposed his nonsense & refused to reject gene theory

Bullshit. And I'm betting the "lulls" keep happening right at peaker plant max profit point. Probably scheduling windmill maintenance right for max profitability.
Wait, what?
If the operator of the windmills and the peaker plants are competitors, why would the windmill operator give up revenue to benefit the peaker plants?
If they're not competitors (e.g. in the same company), shutting down cheap power generation in favor of more expensive power generation would decrease profit, not maximize it.
I can't think of any reasonable structure in which your theory could work. What am I missing?
