To be completely fair the American government currently does this with inflation, among other things. Actually inflationary item? Whoops we removed it from the calculation. All good here, boss. Sweeping something you don't want to account for "under the rug" is practically normalized in this government. It isn't right- obviously... but this isn't really shocking either.
The elephant? Where? In this room?! We don't talk about that.
The giveaway is the stacked black numbers. It's clearly the noise being added to confuse the model. If it was meant to be human readable they wouldn't overlap it so haphazardly.
I think the phrase they are seeking is signal to noise. The bots make noise but bury the signal making it harder to actually find and communicate with others who are actually engaging. Weird how that works.
There is actually a difference between luck and something that may just work, despite seeming stupid. Using your example: I have to play Russian roulette today to randomly reduce workers - we removed the firing pin. I have to play Russian roulette tomorrow....
No taxation without representation? We can still throw the T into the ocean ... I'd feel bad if it was all those teslas: it'd be like a poison reef... so we'll have to settle for the "other one."
At the rate we are going I'm not entirely sure if we are going for the perky happy beep when a PC posts or ... that other longer one you get when you unplug things...
Germany is providing an open source solution to gsuite (which I haven't looked at yet) but am told it's pretty good. More open and more choice is great.
This is mostly the problem in a lot of cases. A lot of companies don't pay you to be smart... they pay you to be "efficient" which normally means cheap.
Good and skilled people may be in a lot of these companies... but their hands may be tied in terms of choices.
Notice or not any infrastructure change is brutal - even if you go like for like.
I'm not saying I'm against the idea: I loathe all the centralization and robber barons running around in this era. But switches like these rarely go as planned. If haste is required even less so.
It's not about the providers, it's about the move. Companies will need to migrate their infrastructure to another platform which (let's be honest) likely will not have the bandwidth / rack space / hardware to support the influx of users. Companies will self host? Okay sure: time to spin up internal clusters, train employees, provision additional bandwidth / connections. And naturally - this will all go off without a hitch. Like flipping a switch.
And we need to remember that many of these services rely on each other so one goes down: they take each other out.
That's kind of my point - just based on the reception it's clear that a number of people were perceiving that as one. Normally that's the "pump the brakes" or the "hol up 🖐️🖐️" moment where you clarify.
I'll be honest - you weren't really presenting your case in that way. Understand my confusion: you seemed pretty adamant about your concern with no backing data on it. Most people pick their hills with something to back them.
You aren't terribly familiar with how much traffic we generate nowadays... are you? If we were still on 2G and isdn / dsl sure. You'd likely see a slight latency jump. On anything from this last decade+ ? Not a chance.
