Wouldn't T4 have been a better name? sure it does create the risk of a U5, but prequels are not usually better. (Unless you love endless discussion about intergalactic politics).

Certainly not in Canada. T4 is the name of employment income tax slip here, similar to W-2 in the US.

Q1

P0 O-1, On1?

I believe that the Japanese had an airplane with that designation once, famous for use in suicide attacks, but I cannot find reference to it. Some other models with Zero in the name I can find, but not the P-0.

O(1)? Edit: the site didn't make it, I just think the stylized name was cool. O for Object and (1) cause it's fast. Or it would be. I'm not building it.

this is legit a much better name while also being reductio ad absurdum, it also follows the convention (R2 = rapid, reliable, S3= simple storage service, O1 = object)

"Order one".. nice subliminal messaging.

Things get really confusing when you also use SAP R/3, migrating it to S/4: "So the S/4 gets some of its data from R/3 via S3 and writes reports to R2 which are used for a consolidated view in R/3 as long as the analysis isn't migrated to S/4 which will get all data via S3."

"Excuse me, sir. Seeing as how the V.P. is such a V.I.P., shouldn't we keep the P.C. on the Q.T.? 'Cause if it leaks to the V.C. he could end up M.I.A., and then we'd all be put out in K.P."

Meanwhile Microsoft is just like...let's called it "Blob"

"Xbox One X Series X Service Pack 1 September Refresh CTP Preview 3 Update 5a*. I mean, imma buy it, but lord MSFT sucks at naming stuff" [0]

"I once worked on the unambiguously named "Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Tools For Microsoft Office .NET System 2005". Yes, it had "Microsoft" and ".NET" in the name twice. When the name was announced we all laughed as we assumed it was a joke. It was not." [1]

Apparently the Zero was officially the "Navy Type 0 carrier fighter".

I imagine most people who complain about intergalactic politics in the prequels must have never gotten to the scene in A New Hope where people just sit around and discuss the dissolution of the galactic senate and the political reordering of the galaxy.

If consumers are so likely to confuse "S3" and "R2" that a court would grant trademark enforcement to S3 over this, then Mazda could have successfully sued BMW over the confusion between MX-2 and M3, not to mention the total havoc such a court judgment would wreak upon the SMT labeling industry: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28777350 If Cloudflare had an entire AWS-simulation business and was making a clear ef…

AWS has customer support

Their (paid) Enterprise Support is quite good, in my experience.
