...why?!

Nitpick incoming:

581.3 mi / 22.95 hr = 25.33 mph
935.4 km / 22.95 hr = 40.76 km/h

The average speed was a hair above 25 mph (40 km/h). What am I missing?

Anyone else feel like the latter part of this article reads like an ad? Just post a link to the T-Mobile site next time; otherwise, use some editorial discretion.

What they should do is to gain industry experience first, then have their company pay for their MBA. Getting an MBA with an expectation that it will help you jump into management in a new industry is wrong-headed because it's easier to complete a three-year course of study than it is to develop industry experience. The point of an MBA should be to gain a best-practices framework through which to understand your real-world experiences.

None of the errors mentioned were Excel issues. Gene names formatted as dates? User didn't format the gene name cells as text. Underreported COVID-19 cases? User didn't understand the row limit when creating the database (and should have used Access or similar instead). Sensitive information in hidden cells? User performed insufficient vetting prior to publication.

Can't blame the software for mistakes users make.

There you go! One of the many fine universities in and around Philadelphia.

Same. I have many workbooks with more than 10K rows feeding multiple pivot tables and they work really well. The problem is likely not the software but the implementation. Managing performance is straightforward: let Excel do most of the heavy lifting since it's always going to be faster than what you do in VBA, use memory judiciously (INDEX/MATCH instead of xLOOKUP), minimize formatting to keep things simple. Above all, have a database person look over your work before you publish if you're not that person.

I'm trying to understand why Meta threatening to pull all news from its Facebook feeds is a bad thing for anyone who doesn't spend their whole day in Facebook. Removing news would give people one less reason to hang out in Facebook...how is this bad? Call their bluff, Congress!

Wish I had mod points to give you.

Will it let me brew a pot of coffee faster?!

And by "Sweden" you meant "Switzerland," yes?

And he'll have a pinky in his mouth when he says it.

Not his pinky, though, but some innocent bystander's he just consumed.

"...neither company was able to reach an agreement."

So how does Texas' legislature square this with proposed changes to section 230 of the Communications Decency Act to make social media platforms responsible for user content? It's one or the other, boys and girls.

You touch on an interesting point. Offering something for free that requires infrastructure, and not telling users it may have to be monetized later somehow, is essentially a bait and switch. I get why they don't tell you and you can argue that this should be assumed by the savvy user, but as a point of transparency and good faith, we should be told up front. Anything else is either dishonest or so shortsighted that it calls into question the founders' business acumen and, consequently, their ability to make a go of it long term, so maybe don't lock yourself into their offering.
