There is this joke in Europe...

What do you call a person that speaks 2 languages? A bilingual.

What do you call a person that speaks 3 languages? A trilingual.

What do you call a person that speaks 1 language? An American.

This! Google is beating the drum about RCS, but Google Voice, their own service, does NOT support RCS.

One thing that I would find cool as a follow-up to this article would be something like a decision tree (I understand it would get very complicated, very fast, but it should be fun): I, as a developer, am using AWS/Azure and I need features X,Y,Z, tell me which database I should pick.

Probably even better if it were a model trained extensively on the documentation / features of each individual database and it would also give references to the answer (see how Bing does it).

I am using the USB-C 4K with an M1 Mac Pro (Pro CPU), driving 24k@60Hz (via DP) and 14k@30Hz (via HDMI): https://plugable.com/collections/docking-stations/3x-display...

The service is free (you need Microsoft E3/E5 license), you just pay for the VMs, which you can customize any way you want.

Not sure why this is news - Amazon is the first company to embrace a hybrid work environment, way before the pandemic... Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday - work from the office. Saturday and Sunday - work from home.

A light take on the subject can be found in Logicomix: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logicomix - a cool blend between the dry topic and comics.

NPR's Planet Money also had an episode on this recently: http://www.npr.org/sections/money/2017/02/01/512921756/episo...
