MS: "Insights are intended to help organisations..." I think the problem is with the un intended consequences or uses. Whether MS intended it or no, it seems to be in use for dystopian micromanagement. (Though frankly... can anyo

"could get into a meeting quickly, without cognitive overload" If that were truly the biggest driver, then jitsi would be the clear winner by a very long stretch. Send the user a link, they click, they're in the meeting. Even

I don't think it's solely/mainly a question of volumes/numbers and being sufficiently well connected, though no doubt it is a factor. In my experience the 0.01% are privileged to play by the book, but have an advantage o

I'm honestly quite surprised that someone hasn't already set up to offer "Tax Havens As A Service" long ago. Click a button, pay $100, and you're incorporated in what's commonly known among the .01% as a "

It is not my (the "consumer's") responsibility to invent a viable business model for news/social media/video. That is their problem. If the only thing they can come up with is advertising, I, for one, am quite happy

I'm curious to understand the advantages/benefits of being able to reassign switches/lights. Surely a light/group-of-lights needs a switch/set-of-switches, but once it's done, what's the imperative for cha

Bollocks. I've installed Linux for non-technical people any number of times and, provided I make sure everything (network, printers) is working for them, generally never hear from them again. At least not for computer help. Most people

The brewery is not using the process to generate electricity, but to heat fluids (water and wort). The research team behind it hope to scale it up to electricity generation in the future.
