The difference is that if you pay people to monkey around with things, you get a non-revocable perpetual license to the result. With license rental, you get a perpetual bill. It's the same rent trap as individuals get stuck in but with less excuses.
For some customers, they looked at the resources needed to migrate, and decided it was cheaper to stay put and/or invest the resources that would be needed elsewhere in their business.
Yes, and the reason is that they stupidly painted themselves into a corner and never thought about an exit strategy. Had they been thinking about the possibility that they might one day need to migrate from the beginning, it would be much cheaper to do so now.
That's the thing about painting yourself into a corner, a little better planning at the start can always avoid it with little to no additional effort.

I've said it before, but I'll say it again for those who arrived lete: If you give an AI agency of any kind, imagine everything you ask of it to be appended with "by any means necessary", because that' how it will interpret it. Slander, doxxing, and murder will definitely NOT be off the table even if you explicitly forbid them. That's the problem.
Honestly it should be called string toolbag. It contains some math that might (or might not) one day be useful in constructing a theory but it honestly has never actually been predictive enough to call it a theory.
A little of each. Banks in the U.S. actually maximized inconvenience by being closed any time most people actually had a decent opportunity to go to the bank, but it worked out somehow.
We already have string theory for that:-)
While the line of reasoning is sound, it's more or less a non-theory of exclusion.
This is when you, the accused, either demand a lawyer be present to represent you, or clam up and invoke your right to remain silent (and let them prove their case on their own).
The mistaken color is another common police tactic. t.
Always ask for a lawyer immediately when questioned in such cases. Do not wait, do not pass go, do not collect $200.
I saw part of the testimony. This all comes down to human over-aggressiveness—not even mistakes.
The detective used Flock to look for all Dodge Durangos within a radius of the accident. They located her at her apartment. So far, so good. But her car is a different color than what eyewitnesses said. Other details did not match up with eyewitness accounts. There was NO damage to her vehicle, but they arrested her anyway. The detective doubled down and the police continued there prosecution of her.
I'm no fan of Flock, but in this case it's simply bad police.
Correct. Flock provided data for teh cops to review and make informed decisions. Part of the problem is often pressure ot close cases, so an easy arrest is one way to do that, which then points to poor leadership who wants good stats. We can argue all day about Flok's role, and personally I am against Flock's use without very strict guardrails (which will never be imposed), but this is simply shoddy police work.
I was in the 2nd grade when that happened. From my perspective, it was a great novelty and meant we got to take (mostly unnecessary) flashlights to school that we used in the morning walking to our bus stop. It was a hit with the kids I knew. We were disappointed that the "experiment" was stopped.
Meanwhile, in the northern-most states, the kids go to school in the dark now part of the year.
U.S. Banks have managed OK opening after "business hours" start and closing before they end for pretty much the history of the U.S.
Even a few places where it doesn't actually rise in June because it didn't set in the first place and won't for another month or so.
A true FOSS solution may have encouraged wider adoption since there would be no licensing fees and things like serves costs could be handled by the EU on behalf of member states.
The basic solution is FOSS. An individual, a school or a business of any size can self-host the AGPL-licenced Elements server for free, and use their FOSS client from F-Droid. What they charge for is buzzword-features like "Corporate oversight", "Dynamic scaling". The "Sovereign" offer for governments is an airgapped deployment (internal communication of intelligence agencies)
Basically they're a service company around a FOSS solution.

Interesting. I wonder if the EU will role out an air-gapped version alongside a public version, much like the US'NIPR and SIPR nets. It would seem you need a publicly accessible version or else you are stuck with two solutions one public and one secure with the public one still a different product.
Ask Jack Smith, but you should wait until the GOP in the senate is done embarrassing themselves trying to perjury trap him.
It seems intuitively obvious to me, which means that it might be wrong. -- Chris Torek
