According to new research from data protection specialist Veritas Technologies, employees are losing two hours a day searching for data, and data management challenges are costing businesses as much as $2 million a year. Have you checked the SharePoint? How about Slack? And your Inbox?

I guess if you consider pointless youtube videos, and reading facebook friend posts "data". I buy that.

I was thinking something along the same kind of lines, today.
I'm back at a major petrochemical company (that shell remain nameless) for a quickie contract, and the new coffee machines that they've acquired (globally, because that's how they do things) take forever and a day!
If they got machines that took ten seconds less to spew out brown mud, it would quite literally save them millions.
I'll have to include a clause in my next contract with them that puts me in charge of coffee-machine purchasing, and gives me a percentage of the savings, as commission.

The Australian arm of Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp called for an enforced break-up of Alphabet Inc’s Google Inc, acknowledging the measure would involve global coordination but calling it necessary to preserve advertising and the news media. Into two companies: Go, and Ogle

Murdoch is so right. If news media goes away, then we won't have someone to tell us how we're supposed to feel about huge non-issues. Or how some government policy that may benefit 99.999% of its constituents turns into a sob story because they found the .001 person that the law would not benefit which should lead to a riotous outrage. I say we split Google into one company that handles the searches and one that handles the search results.

I used to think Murdoch was bad, until I saw the total abominations committed by companies like google and facebook.
The damage that those two companies have done to the Internet is beyond description.
IMO, breaking them up should involve wrecking crews.
Wrecking crews with bad-tempered foremen.
Bad-tempered foremen who like solutions that include excessive High-Explosives.

Our state of arousal—being fearful, agitated, or calm—can significantly affect our ability to make optimal decisions, judgments, and actions in real-world dynamic environments. So can the lash, but I don't want to try that one either

So the good news is that, while @rseholes will become more effective at being @rseholes, they'll also become more likely to have strokes and embolisms.
That said, at least it's a worthwhile line of research, unlike 63,956,285 others I could mention.

Choosing to forget something might take more mental effort than trying to remember it, researchers discovered through neuroimaging. I am using *so* much brain power lately!

I don't remember where I read it:

"might take more"
Might take less. Hurray for useless studies!

You can choose to forget things?
I wish someone would tell my brain that I'm in charge of that.

Forgetting is not something you can do actively; whenever you think about the subject, it is reinforced.
Also one of the reasons beer is so popular.

The new foundation is a result of the combining of the Node.js Foundation and the JS Foundation. For those that feel 'JavaScript' and 'standard' together doesn't create an oxymoron
OK, not really a standards body, but I didn't get enough sleep last night to come up with something better.

Actually, I should be careful, saying things like that; I never know what the next contraxt will demand of me

If a recent update is wreaking havoc on your computer, Windows 10 may automatically uninstall it, according to Microsoft support. I wonder if they can roll me back to Win7?
Or NT4 Workstation?

Wasn't NT4 was considered mainly to be a UI update? At least it supports .NET

Dunno - I remember it as being a great OS, before they went all candy coated UI.

And their update rollback will for sure work smoothly and don't cause any harm...
