We now use Teams video chat at work. The results have been mixed. When the number of meeting participants is low (<5) the video seems to work well. Anything above that we start seeing random disconnects. We've had better experiences

In the short term it might look bad. But in the long term it would encourage other companies to enter the market and existing players to increase their capacity.

I once worked for a company that uses SAP for several important business processes. The software provides great support for well defined areas like payroll, benefits, accounting and so on. It does not work well for things that are unique ab

Enlighten me. How is the analogy broken?

Nope. Automation is technology and so is transportation. Both can cause pollution but that's besides the point.

Here's a weight loss tip I've used with some degree of success: exercise portion control by using smaller dinner plates at home and chew the food on the plate longer (like 30s). The rationale is that the sensation of feeling ful

If you mean form a government then I can't blame you. It seems so logical and yet the last 50 years have demonstrated the futility of this approach (as demonstrated by the article). Power corrupts - politicians and bureaucrats act on w
