excel 2021: the "a spreadsheet is all it needs"-file is not usable because excel is not able to translate the "LC references that are inside brackets" into other languages.


if you give the heart of your business (data) to an alien company you make TWO collosal mistakes:

1) you transfer the core of your business to somebody else 2) you can be blackmailed service and costs wise

outsourcing in general is a deadly management fashion.


never understood this mantra of 2 %, mindlessly pound out by the msm.

in twenty years your savings have lost nearly half of its purchasing power.


0.98^30 = 0.5459, so more like 30 years. But, that's why you have to put the bulk of your savings in equities and bonds.


You probably shouldn't be storing all your savings in cash. I think it's generally considered better practice to put at least some percentage into something market-based, like an index fund.


...if held in cash. Were you holding your savings in cash?

US seems not to be the best place for becoming old.


From his Wikipedia page:

> In 2010, Ward was diagnosed with a serious neurological disorder that required treatment at the Mayo Clinic. His friend Tim Kask helped to establish a fund to help Ward offset some of the medical bills.

I mean, good on his friend, it was a very kind thing to do. But also, wow, what a messed up place the US is...


> But also, wow, what a messed up place the US is...

Quite a lot of the things that would simply be untreatable in many places are treatable in the US, but it's expensive.

I don't know if that's the case here, but knowing that can help you understand that the place where a lot of things originate (and start out expensive) is the place that eventually commercialises them to the point where other countries can buy them as a package.


"Europe, the U.S. and so-called "like-minded" partners have grown distrustful, too, as they're faced with economic coercion from Beijing, Chinese espionage, cyberthreats and disinformation operations."

omg the "West" gets competition.

"hold the thieve!"

Media is all it needs ...

Thank you for this outstanding work!


"summary of plato's politeia"

the answer was good. two follow up answers were also fine.

just curious: what about the copyright status of the given sources?

the best result I received so far was with MS Bing app (android).

had reasonable results with my local llama2 13B.

cheers


Phind is for developers. Wouldn't you rather it grok documentation than philosophy?


Plato being dead around 2300 years ago, and two millennia before copyright was invented, I think it's going to be fine ;).


Translations can be copyrighted.


They can be, but like with everything copyright-related for copyright to apply there need to be “creative work” involved. Which, for something that has been translated countless times in all possible directions, is going to be much harder than for a first translation.


I am happy that Al Capone protects me.

I feel so much safer in life.

And it's perfectly just that this security has a price tag.
