Making promises.

When my child would ask to do something or desire something I might have said, "Not today but I promise in the future ...". Often I would never follow up on those.

Now, I am more inclined to say, "I will do my best to make that happen" or something along those lines but no promises.


Does everyone just buy in that this is just a network change gone wrong? OR could they be mitigating a breach/hack? OR could it be some other theory?


You know Prosus will get all their money back and then some . time to build a new one [thinking face...]


As I "favorite" this thread, so I can reference it later to learn how to remember better ;)


But will you remember to come back?


"Inch is a sinch, yard is hard"


"When normal sense makes good sense, seek no other sense."


.. and there was a time to not build for good??

It will be interesting to see what other types of new technology (good & bad) emerge from this.

Such as: New rfid (or image) spoofing tech, etc.

-or-

Stories "Just walk out" store forgot to activate rfid tags on some product and customers walked out w/ (x) number of items for free.

This will be interesting to see how it plays out.


Ideally, they wouldn't re-invent the wheel again and just stick with the ODATA protocol. They already have the platform to do so - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/odata/resources/roadmap

The "metaverse" . Where you can be what you want people to see w/o others knowing what you are. #highfidelity

That is a nice idea but I'm not sure it will work because consider Stack Overflow: most users there are little more than a number and a geometric shape, as far as what others see, and yet they still felt they needed to formalise a code of conduct based on survey results that certain demographics felt unwelcome.
