I skimmed the plan and didn't find any requirement to use a ground to water heat pump. Air to water devices are mentioned several times as viable heat pumps for this plan. These do not require boreholes.

All of this thread I read so far is complaining on a very high level. Compare the teams era to the pre teams era where companies often either had no meeting software and experience at all and onsite visits or phone calls was the only option, or they used Skype for business which was arguably even worse. Then the minor annoyances of teams seem small in comparison.

That's not too say these things shouldn't be improved, but bundling teams with office for free sure made my communications with most of my customers 1000% easier.

Trust in this context is obviously not 1 or 0 but a sliding scale and some organizations are higher on that scale than others based on past conduct, as the previous poster pointed out at length.

If you don't trust anyone but yourself, you'll have to do the audit yourself. How do you suggest to do that? An auditor with a good track record seems like the most trustworthy practically feasible alternative to me.

That's a strawman. You're conflating async with no communication. There's perfectly fine asynchronous communication methods. You have to communicate differently on async, not stop communicating.

The reason cash is predominant in Germany is not privacy concerns but horrendous fees for every transaction for smaller shops like bakeries. So the small shops often enough don't offer card payment that you simply have to keep cash on you. I have never met anyone that payed in cash because they want the privacy it offers. Quite on the contrary: people regularly complain about having to pay in cash.

Why do you believe the same thing can't be achieved with packages in node that you feel is so useful for multi team orgs in your DLL scenario?

In my experience you absolutely SHOULD document every request and removal in e.g. an issue tracker. It's very valuable information.

And commented out code gets stale so quickly. Much better to check out an old version where it still worked than uncommenting a bunch of lines that now have compile errors and have become incomprehensible. Happens so easily, e.g. after some variable renames.

Can you please make or link to one example? I'd be interested to learn more.

It's certainly a better argument than the GPs claim of "the safest cars out there" with 0 evidence given to substantiate that. I think it fair to refute such an unsubstantiated claim with a reported instance where safety was not maintained as can reasonably be expected.

It's a bit more dramatic if you look at cost of living again as GP did. Numbeo again:

You would need around 3,309.51$ (12,912.27zł) in Warsaw to maintain the same standard of life that you can have with 8,500.00$ in San Francisco, CA (assuming you rent in both cities).

Or, you know, in an unbreakable box of a business whose reputation depends on keeping it safe. Like a security deposit box in a bank? That doesn't sound unreasonable to me.

In contrast, comparing 1password to "a stranger three towns over" or "the sidewalk" seems a bit unfair to me.
