What are the other opportunities for live events of famous D&D players in the area at a non Ticketmaster/LiveNation area? I feel like this is the counterexample to your argument. Because it's not like restaurants, the people can't just go to 50 other live D&D events in the area that night.

Add to this the monopoly isn't only on the attendees, but the artists are getting limited choices when the big venues are Ticketmaster joints, then the options sure get limited.

Here's the Wikipedia section on it. Long story, short: Yes, there's documented health risks.

And because it's so inert your body can't eliminate it, so it builds up. Sort of the same reason that asbestos is so scary.

VMWare has been trying to bundle a whole platform for big enterprises ever since "Project Pacifica" and the Pivotal acquisition. Which then can get some big price tags with a whole lot of lock-in.

It's not like it's a big secret and other big players are doing it as well. IBM bought Red Hat for OpenShift for that. Google has Anthos to try to push it.

But full stack on Kubernetes platform is far beyond what smaller shops want and pushing sales speak about value add in the bundle only goes so far.

Honestly I think SUSE has it right with Rancher, small and Open pieces. And then can have the all-in-one with Harvester. Bonus that they are actually fair on their pricing and everyone isn't looking down the barrel of the enterprise agreement increase.

In the presentation, that was a key point was the productivity gains were in old code bases because they found the most value in with idiomatic Rust because of enums rather than layered cases and conditionals.

I know that undefined acronyms have slipped through before, but this one is right there early in the summary.

I think it's simplistic to say that issues are because people are rooting against it. It's just a hard problem to solve. Plus the solution needs to be cost effective enough to compete in a capitalistic system against human driven vehicles with this cost including manufacturer acceptance of liability.

A human with low risk of causing an accident versus a manufacturer accepting a possibly lower risk of any of their vehicles causing an accident is a pretty high cost. So technology really needs to do a lot but be low enough cost that it's economically feasible.

There is value in that safety and convenience of autonomous vehicles, but the cost to implement paired with the risk has to be low enough for manufacturers to profit.

Cisco snapping up Isovalent, the original makers of the more popular CNCF Service Mesh Cilium, helps explain the timing of this.

Searched the vendor's site, on their main page they advertised the features:

AI generated text content is often identified today the long form formal content form scraping new articles and books. To an advertising company, AI social media responses driving engagement trained on informal comments that have a lot of metadata seems like it'd be pretty valuable. Just like any other free site, if you aren't paying you're the product. Either for your ad watching eyeballs or to sell your data. Slashdot content is straight out because Gemini would need to be renamed Hot Grits.

Why not take the Switch route and move to flash storage as the Physical Route?

Says hype man selling the technology that his company invested very heavily in... ok.

Microsoft really communicates that belief in the tech through how much they are spending.

To Do Lists are dime a dozen.

What's hard is keeping up with all the app stores, weird devices like watches, integrations against all the flavors of other systems, notification APIs, supporting all the weird features like kanban boards, and all while having a consistent interface across all of them.

It's the first in the list of their buzzwordy features... Superpowers even...
