It doesn't make any sense. Humans are non-fungible AI is not, they are just arbitrarily imposing such limitations, which can impact the workflows of businesses.
You go to an all you can eat restaurant. Would you find it, that it wouldn't make sense to charge for each bag you start stuffing with food? You are doing the same, using a tool to extract more value out in the same time. Of course they are gonna charge more.
You can be against licenses, because you think it should be possible to own software. (I agree somewhat with that.) But when you accept a fee for usage (aka. a license), the vendor gets to tell you the pricing units in which the usage is determined. Expecting the same cost while changing the pricing unit, isn't likely to be accepted by the seller.
Your society and your status within it are predisposed on making money. They are taxing your ability to leverage them for a leg up through new tooling. Their interests are to maximize or maintain the relative disparity between their value extraction capabilities, and yours. Otherwise they lose at the game of Money. Isn't the society we've built that we like to say is about goods and services, but is actually only about power and influence accretion through relative disparity in money extraction grand?
Don't like it? Build your own transnational ERP. /s to be clear.
Always has been since the ZIRP era. The ‘make something people want’ phrase was coined by a famous Silicon Valley investor. I heard he runs a popular forum.
You have to run the computation. Garry Kasporov is great at this. Its like what is the answer to 1 + 1, you can look it up in a table (memory) or you can understand the concept of addition and run the computation yourself to get the answer (best move).
I don't see the sarcasm because it IS especially handy in openings. If you understand the core principles like developing pieces and taking space, you won't need to memorize any openings to become good.
It's not that simple, though. Even with solid core principles, there are lots of established openings where move order makes all the difference. All other things being equal, the player who has memorized a bunch of standard openings will have a distinct advantage.
Yes, people using “email” for “email address” in contexts where it could also mean “email message”, which “email” more frequently means, is really annoying.

Of course, the technical term for that setup is 'catch all', you can set this up with your email provider. You can send your email to "ghywertelling@gregegan.net", for example.
A friend gave out an email gmail@hisname.com (he owns the domain). He says it's incredible how many people "corrected" him, and how persistent some of them were. :-)
