Has there ever been Job Security? From my perspective the IT job market is like marketing, companies cut them when times are tough, and overspend on them during booms. Since I was a child (And I'm not young) the huge local tech companies have had huge swings in employment/layoffs.

The Federal Incentives Ended Last Sept, and electric sales are down roughly %25. So these Fords are underperforming, the market, but the market is most of this decline. Personally the Chevy, Toyota, or Subarus look more appealing to me than the Ford EVs at this time.

It does suck, and the reality is deserving of boos, however it is reality. The smartest thing we can do is do everything we can to make sure this market shift doesn't only benefit the %1.

If far-left policy were the dominant cause, weâ(TM)d see consistently better outcomes in conservative areas. We donâ(TM)t. Education outcomes correlate much more strongly with socioeconomic conditions than with political ideology.

Have these folks not watched the Metalhead episode of Black Mirror? Hint: It doesn't end well for us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Charge heavy users on a sliding scale, and subsidise low use users rates with the added revenue.

You should never have AI write your resume for you, but you sure as heck should ask it, what improvements woudl you recommend and why. You should also ask a few human beings that same question.

Something extra stupid like Alexa on my PC or phone? No thanks. I use AI almost daily, but I can't think of a scenario where I'd want a local version that's nowhere near as capable as the cloud based tools.

Unfortunately for Microsoft you are correct, the rest of the world cannot trust any USA company for critical operations due to the polical dangers. Besides the obvious data concerns, an angry dictator might suddenly add 1000% export taxes on software, or demand it be broken or hamstrung, etc. So I don't blame other governments for moving to Libre. I think a company like Microsoft might be better off headquartered in a stable democracy.

You got that right. From a practical perspective, it's the best tool for the job most of the time. With one exception, Google Sheets is better when when many people are collaborating on the same sheet. Excel seems to choke a lot when its shared.

I prefer SQL too, but I'm never going to let end users touch sql. a SQL Data connection Query Into an Excel sheet, is a quick low effort way to provide those results to end users. One of the reasons I find Excel especially useful.

They aren't trying to deny liability, they are simply claiming that should someone die in an accident, it won't be the END of self driving cards providing those accidents are at a much lower rate than human drivers. I would agree, and add that when a self driving car does make a mistake, they have the opportunity to find the root cause, and fix it going forward. Already their safety record is freakishly good, and knowing those numbers I would feel safer in a Waymo. (Other brands however, I'm not yet sold)

I bet that's going to be a HUGE problem for them. lots of 'accredited' traditional medicine practitioners. Much like the USA has lots of 'accredited' chiropractors, and DOs.

Plenty of crackpots have credentials, the whole anti-vax mania was started by an actual doctor publishing false studies. But I do hope this helps, I know in the USA you cannot tell people what they can and cannot say, but you can hold them (Or if we tweak our laws, perhaps their platform) liable for harm caused by their false information.
