I think that almost all of the arguments about parental support policy can and should be made without the word "fertility" coming within a hundred feet of the document, for several reasons that are complex but I can boil down to: they Invite Those With Bad Vibes

I guess I'm mostly not following, because parts of this are describing rapid prototyping (generic input -> specific output) but that only helps you in low-run scenarios bc it's not like we've fundamentally upended returns to scale from standardization

The main reason you want to do it is because a sharp knife is less liable to catch or slip (like when cutting thru tomato skin, eg) and most injuries happen because your knife catches or slips while you're doing routine cutting or chopping

This sounds like an insane lack of due diligence to me. Like does MS simply not have a public sector offering for O365? Because these are actually really basic questions MS isn't answering

The SPA DPIA also confirms that, on top of refusing to provide key information, Microsoft itself has told the police watchdog it is unable to guarantee the sovereignty of policing data held and processed within its 0365 infrastructure.
