@GergelyOrosz @_hdarabi I am based in the UK and could opt out before, but have just had a mail from LinkedIn saying "we are not enabling training for generative AI on member data from ... and the United Kingdom", and now https://t.co/KtHkHT9mDa ties in with this, so looks like they've tweaked.

Anyone have experience on how long it takes @British_Airways to refund expenses (hotels, food, airport parking) incurred due to a cancelled flight? Waiting 2 months so far with no response.

[Mark Chopping @markchopping1]

@GergelyOrosz That struck a chord - previously I became an email processor, with most work driven by new emails.

I always tried to only touch an email once if possible, twice at most.

Now I am astonished people have an Inbox with thousands of emails - could not imagine living like that!

@jaymulford @Chris_Mellor Not sure MapR had good growth prospects though - trying to find a buyer for months following funding difficulties, and poor first quarter numbers as customers/prospects postponed subscriptions, so looks like the desperately needed to be bought.

@dottedSquirrel Recalls hype during the initial rise of NoSQL.

NoSQL is now more likely to mean "Not Only SQL", as most realised SQL is essential for many tasks, rather than a boil-the-ocean solution.

Also, a long time since a decent SQL database was designed to run on a single server!
