"Point us to an post about a guy given a job he is clearly unqualified"

That's literally my point -- the post isn't about the person in charge of the ministry! It's about them testing Collabora and the users just having too many issues with it. I guarantee if it was the same exact story and the minister had a male name none of you would have done this deep dive and criticism.

And why do you think she is unqualified? The Minister of Digitization doesn't need to be an expert on digitization, they need to be competent at high-level management and understanding how laws and policies work. Did she do something wrong? Would someone else have somehow convinced the 37 or however many employees who tested it not to hate it?

Yeah but for some reason Slashdot commenters jump to targeting people mentioned in the stories when they have a female first name.

Much like Twitter - what on earth do you need that many employees to do, exactly? Ebay has more traffic, but the core product scales horizontally, and they haven't added any new customer facing features since about 2005. Much like craigslist they could have frozen the core product 20 years ago

Audiophilles will be convinced they can hear a difference. They can't, but they will be convinced of it.

"And the UK handed you the brand new computer industry on a plate by destroying all the computers it had built during the war while not requiring that you do the same with the licensed copies you had built."

The UK decided to destroy its computers on its own, don't blame us for your idiocy. "Require"? What were you going to "require" we do? And how were you going to enforce this "requirement"?

And what licensed copies are you talking about? Britain shared the Bombe (which was basically an upgraded version of the one the Polish built, but of course Brits insist they're the geniuses who broke Enigma), but ENIAC was a US production.

Business school is a 2-year cocktail party.

>The new MacBook Pro models are expected to be "significantly lighter" than the current models.
 
This is the exact opposite of what I want. A macbook pro needs to survive a fall from the passenger seat of a chevy suburban (more than 3' high) onto concrete. Today you get about one drop per corner before the aluminum deforms too much and can't take the beating and the display breaks. Maybe the new OLED are less prone to cracking. At no time in my life did I look at my work issued MBP and think "I wish this were lighter" particularly the 13/14" models

Given how most of the rioters are masked, and many of them are clearly white, I don't think iTs AlL iMMigAnNTSS is proven.

In any event, the French riot constantly, and have for decades, well before you saw large increases in immigration.

"She" is also lying about being a French woman. It's just some right-wing propaganda bot farm content.

You should not be abusive to anything, regardless of if it is capable of experiencing that abuse in the same way we can. Because it's not good for YOU. As the old saying goes, "...it's like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die."

I really wanted to like the game but even a few hours of gameplay showed that it was repetitive and kind of bleak and depressing.

There are people still using VMWare?!?!? And their main issue is COST, rather than the fact that VMWare is like a thousand years old?

Indeed, I wonder if it'd be easier, even if as you point out more expensive, to build a data center in a city. Just renovate an existing industrial building and hope nobody sees the planning notices.

Just responding to this point as an FYI. Data Centres are so specifically designed that it easier to lay waste to any existing structure that is on the land and start over. The company I work for has thousands of warehouses world-wide and really wanted to utilize what they had. The only practical solution was to fill the warehouses with data centre "modules" (think data centre in a shipping container) and even then there was an amazing amount of re-fit work. And nobody wants those data centre containers anymore.

Another random point: Data Centres in traditional hot-spots for them and/or inside cities are called "Tier I Markets" in the business. Latency was a really important consideration at one point (and still is for a lot of apps), so data centres needed to be near to population centres. So-called "AI" workloads don't care so much as they are more request-response in nature, so they are going up anywhere and everywhere where you can get power and permitting permission.

You don't know him and don't know he's a sociopath.

However, the people who do know him say he's a sociopath, so they probably know.
