Isn't it more complicated than that? "Ouch" can be a lot of things, and that's where a lot of problems crop up in the AI world. If one of my friends insults another friend, I might…

One story that still haunts me about the culture onboard the submarine. We were dropping the trash and one requirement is that an officer be present. I was told to go get an office…

There's one part of the article that I think deserves more attention. I see Netflix in a big disjointed mess of entertainment. I've got Netflix and then someone will tell me about …

Excel is constantly being improved. Are you aware of Power Query? And how about the 14 news functions that were released to Insiders a few weeks ago? Excel Online is far behind the…

YUP! And too often a company claiming to have something better than Excel isn't a direct equivalent. It's a way to market their whizzbang solution. Domo was claiming it could get c…

The question is more about the trade-off. 1. I see an ad for some really nice pens. COOL! 2. I go to a website that allows me to opt out of tracking but I'd have to opt out of thei…

Which never should have been the default. I don't want to be included in something that I never asked to be part of, and then have to put in the effort to get out. This is one of t…

One thing that's good to see is how Excel can be applied. I was a host when the challenges were: 1. Roulette 2. Biathlon And, no. It's not heavy on tips. The rounds are timed and e…

This depends on the evidence you want to highlight. There are a lot of truly amazing things people use Excel for. And they work. There's no denying that.

WOW! Excellent perspective. And I've never heard the term "citizen programmer" before. You're right. "I did it myself" and "I understand how it works" are definitely undervalued. A…

A lot of comments are criticizing Excel users as if we are resistant to learning more about other programming languages. Resistant as in hard-headed or lazy. One thing to remember …

Ok. Thank you. This does help. I can appreciate that.

I think of this stuff separately. 1. The government can always use the excuse of "public safety." However, 2. A company that's selling brooms shouldn't have all kinds of access to …

Matt, I'm curious to know why? If a person has jumped through hoops to say they don't want to be tracked, why look for ways to still do it? It's like putting up curtains to keep pe…

I was with you until you made it political. I'm a member of a minority group and I'm fed up with wokeness. People like John McWhorter have described wokeness as a religion. That's …

This has me seriously thinking about paying the Apple premium and ditching Android.

I think there should be an opt-IN model. Opting out can be made confusing and difficult and time-consuming. I've gone to websites that list over 300 3rd parties that they share dat…

Fine. But when I opt out I want to be truly 100% opted out. Actually, I'd prefer the option to opt IN if I want to be tracked. I think that's the real issue here. I know people who…

RIGHT! Facebook has made it OUR problem that THEIR business model is based on selling ads. But it shouldn't be our problem.

This is very different from the slimy tactics around our privacy and data.

I agree with you about the 2 scenarios. My concern, though, isn't about potentially pages and pages of explanations. It's more about the fact that I spend time opting out of that k…

BRAVO

You've got all the answers about a company in Chicago in 2005-2008 and how it should have been run. Why didn't you jump in and help us?

BRAVO for you. And I mean that. You've got the tool YOU need and you haven't pushed YOUR tool on other people. Thank you.

How do you have so many answers to situations you haven't been in? Do I need to say it again? My Excel skills were necessary because of garbage in databases. I could sit at my desk…
