At enterprise scale I can see a contract for being able to renew your support contract. Aka for us to implement this, we expect you to support it but we aren't going to pay you up front in case it doesn't pan out or we drop the project.

Isn't that a pretty big difference? If nearly 50% of users in those age groups are cutting back that seems bad.

Speaking as one of the people who has cancelled a streaming service, I'm doing fine without and unlikely to resub.

Like they wrote their own platform to automate front end automation? Thats... a choice

Couldn't agree with this more. First few seasons they find their footing, but when they do they have some of the most incredible story lines and pay offs. It has become my favorite.

If you're really struggling you can probably watch the episodes rated 7.0+ on IMDb in seasons 1 and 2 and still get a lot of what's happening in season 3 and later, but you'll definitely miss some backstory. Deep space nine being stationary generally did a good job with continuing characters and stories over time imo.

Neat! With a workshop like that is it your job too or does it remain hobby/side pursuit.

I know a few people who have setup workspace for fishing and fishing related thing (lures, rods, etc) but still do it on the side.

I regularly go to these stores, and I wonder why they are so close. It's handy since one or two times one store had something the other didn't. It's a bit more than just crossing the street but not much.

Galleria is in the second story inside an indoor mall. Americana is an outdoor mall, and they are even on the sides closer to each other.

Yea, I think if they were offered severance as part of dismissal/layoff and it had a non compete they could lose that. Beyond that, it doesn't hold much water in CA for the employees.

👏 bravo, this is fantastic!

On one hand it's a pretty common acronym in consulting-businees work. But on the other you'd think Wired, as a general tech publication, would want to take the two sentence to explain what it is and how it's generally used.

It could be a pretty big value to remove humans in this step. A lot of times the rfp contents are known-ish anyway. You're a tech dev firm, and someone wants a proposal for building an app in a framework you know, you already have language probably you've used. In theory this is a great application of AI to speed up the process of building this. The request is "hey we need these things and want this and this". A consumer facing business might present this information as a FAQ or custom order process anyway, so automating an rfp could be good since it speeds things along.

In practice, who knows. If it isn't accurate, if it takes longer to edit than just write from scratch, then that would suck. It'll likely be another way to "reduce headcount" cause of "efficiencies" regardless of how good it is. I doubt this changes anything for most sales executives job status, for people who work in those departments that support those execs though, probably not good

Yea the only thing that didn't satisfy me with the self replicating is the "they can just... keep replacing themselves? Man replicators really are broken" and how fast is this replication? Like if the dominion wanted to send 1,000 ships through and it could only take out 5-10 before exhausting why not just send the ships through.

But if the mines were phased and could detonate when the big ships are through, or even inside the big ships, they'd think twice. Again, just weird head canon I had to explain the minefields effectiveness in the show haha

I know it wasn't, but in my head I always figured this was the cloak of the cloaked minefield in front of the wormhole. Then the dominion couldn't just fire a torpedo and blow up the grid. That made the minefield make more sense to me.
