It's faulty, short-sighted logic though. If every company trained juniors, only for them to jump ship in two years, there'd be a pool of trained juniors to hire from. Yes you wouldn't get your investment out of that particular person, but you'd be hiring someone else's investment.

Beyond that, there's work that is better suited to more junior employees because it's literally a waste of the senior employees' skills.

The release notes mention why they request each one.

They're working to improve login.gov to support the level of user verification needed for this service, but it isn't there yet. Hopefully next year when tax time rolls around again.

Seems like you're asserting that the article is sponsored content without being disclosed, in violation of FTC guidelines. Seems like a pretty serious claim that borders on libel. Do you have any proof of your allegations?

Make sure you check the statement. You'd have to have launched the mod in a specific way during a specific time window

There is a very good chance that the PC platform will be a really horrible place because of the lack of consumer choice in which they can purchase and play games.

I agree with the sentiment that Steam will eventually have a shitification, but I remain optimistic because the PC platform is more open than mobile platforms.

GOG and Humble are existing, smaller stores. Microsoft had three stores they use to sell and install games. Half of the FAANG companies would love to get in on this space if an opportunity showed itself. If we get past high interest rates, I can see VCs getting in on this space.

It won't be pretty and we can support smaller options now. But I don't think it'll be horrible.

“Within the limits of their discretion, directors must make stockholder welfare their sole end,” Strine wrote. “Other interests may be taken into consideration only as a means of promoting stockholder welfare.” -- Chief Justice Strine, Delaware’s Supreme Court, 1985’s Revlon v. MacAndrews

Sure, but Windows 11 is a pain in the ass. My Internet was lagging the other day so my start menu wouldn't find a locally installed program because it couldn't search the Internet too.

Dollars to donuts, they're going to put a drop of pasteurized pig blood in the paint and then dye the coolant red.

If you think businesses have sunk this much money and effort into AI and didn’t do a cost-benefit analysis that stretched out decades, you are being naive or disingenuous.

Are you kidding? We literally just watched the same bubble and burst in companies that rushed to get their piece of the Metaverse and NFT cash grab. I worked at a SaaS company that decided to add AI features because it was in the news and Azure offered it as a service. There was zero financial analysis done, just like for every other feature they added

I'm sure Microsoft has a plan since they invested heavily. But even Google is playing catch-up like they did with GCP.

Doesn't the fact that every Windows PC ships with Edge and yet Chrome has 70% market share on desktop make a case against the idea that "defaults are everything"?

And? My DNS provider shouldn't be leaking my information even if I immediately use the info they gave me to connect to the site.
