   I’d venture that the defining features of “the cloud” are that the machine(s) involved (1) provide some service remotely and (2) are managed by somebody else.

   So in that scenario where you’re hosting mail for yourself: not the cloud. In the scenario where you’re hosting mail for a dozen friends: it’s the cloud for them but not for you.

   Dear app developers, I know it is possible to not log people out on app upgrades. I also fully understand that it is effort that your manager wants you to spend somewhere else.

   So please remind your manager that people do not like it when they lose access to their train tickets while in another country. Thank you.

   (This week's offender is Eurostar, and of course I have PDFs and paper prints.)

   A friend is writing a business plan for an assignment in her business school. The plan has some formal requirements, e.g. you need a logo for your planned company.

   The friend prompted some "AI" for the logo and had it done in an instant, so now she's super happy she didn't have to spent a whole day on a placeholder.

   The logo she got is the most generic you could imagine. Good for a placeholder, and not much else.

   So that's a valid use case for AI. Placeholders.

   Expensive education is just a way to let the feudalists, I mean, capitalists, keep the means of production "in the family"

   The other side to this equation is that society must accept that, while all markets are based on the consent of demand and supply, quality of supply in labour is measured instead with this education above everything else.

   So it is common for a know nothing Havard graduate to walk into a 6 figure job.

   @lizzard Yep, an English “we” always include the listener.

   It's why sometimes a discussion is derailed because people will start leaving comments like, “not all/everyone” even though the context was clear how the speaker used “we”.

   English is far too simple. Well, after all, according to some sources, English was a “peasant language”. Maybe that's why there are so many conflicts, English is so prone to being misunderstood. ^^;;

   But most, if not all, non-English languages, there are separate words for two context usage. And if not separate words, there's a clear understanding that a word can have two different context depending on how it was used.

   Sadly, in English, “we”/“us” is often understood as including the listener and everyone else.

   So, to avoid being misunderstood, you have to include clarification, which can distract the reader (and make things longer than necessary).

   That is so retarded, I don't even know where to start.

   Insurence is a private casino. Nothing fucking else.

   So, you gave me 2k each month, and you were robbed. But, since the thief used knife instead of gun, I refuse to help you. WOW!!! such a great system. Hope to work with you again. :omegalul:
