I don't think it matters as much as you'd expect what governmental model is adopted, but more the cultural norms that determine how it actually functions. The democratic model in Denmark isn't that different than the US in ways, but it functions better mostly because of their norms. If the US were more prosperous country with different norms, the laws and governance may be administered similarly, but the results would be quite different.

It's like anything else it works great on paper and then people just ruin everything.

yeah if only the most prosperous county in recorded history were a little more prosperous

It's debatable whether the current US model is even really democratic. I'm not really too personally interested in economic theory but I do keep up on it somewhat.

There was a good interview with Bill Moyers and Krugman discussing Piketty's Capital a few weeks ago on Moyers' show.
Here's a video of the interview and a transcript. The reaction to Capital has been fairly hilarious, there are some lol Forbes articles about it

But anyway Moyers had a monologue after the interview, and he said:

Bill Moyers posted:

Listen, there’s a big study coming out in the fall from Martin Gilens at Princeton and Benjamin Page at Northwestern, based on data collected between 1981 and 2002. Their conclusion, quote, “… America’s claims to being a democratic society are seriously threatened … the preferences of the average American appear to have only a minuscule, near-zero, statistically non-significant impact upon public policy.”

Sad, that it’s come to this. The drift toward oligarchy that Thomas Piketty describes in his formidable book has become a mad dash, and it will overrun us, and overwhelm us, unless we stop it.


Looking forward to that study.

I actually like Google okay, they have good services if you're a small business. It does suck how they abruptly drop things or modify interfaces, often with little input from the outside.

Email exchanges between National Security Agency Director Gen. Keith Alexander and Google executives Sergey Brin and Eric Schmidt suggest a far cozier working relationship between some tech firms and the U.S. government than was implied by Silicon Valley brass after last year’s revelations about NSA spying…

A Google representative declined to answer specific questions about Brin’s and Schmidt’s relationship with Alexander or about Google’s work with the government.

“We work really hard to protect our users from cyberattacks, and we always talk to experts — including in the U.S. government — so we stay ahead of the game,” the representative said in a statement to Al Jazeera. “It’s why Sergey attended this NSA conference.”

Brin responded to [National Security Agency Director Gen.] Alexander the following day even though the head of the NSA didn’t use the appropriate email address when contacting the co-chairman.

“Hi Keith, looking forward to seeing you next week. FYI, my best email address to use is [redacted],” Brin wrote. “The one your email went to — sergey.brin@google.com — I don’t really check.”

microsoft has better services for small business too. actual exchange, for one, so you're not stuck using some POS sync connector with outlook. and they have an actual product support lifecycle, so you know they're not just going to one day drop support for imap/caldav/activesync/whatever without telling anyone.

i used google apps for business for a couple years, i moved everything to office 365 as part of the beta program a few years ago and it is so much better it's not even funny.

google is poo poo for business because products and features live or die at the whims of the ballpit spergs. you literally don't know if a business critical feature will exist in a week

i'm actually warming up to the idea of exchange as SaaS. but gently caress migrating mailboxes to smb accounts.

exchange online supports direct migration from exchange server, office 365, which is identical feature wise, does not. you can only migrate mailboxes by exporting to PST, then importing to the new account.

the new server essentials role does native azure ad integration and office 365/exchange integration out of the box. it's ridiculously simple to set up.

afik the exchange server integration is only available with the Ex plans, not the Px small business plans. you can't mix the plans within a domain and the per license cost of the Px plans is lower so it tends to be what businesses with les than 25 licenses are using.

why do that when you can have 15 plans covering every price point with every level of feature and product availability spread amongst them.

some of the features may or may not be listed on the license comparison page, because those features are specific to types of licenses, and are enumerated elsewhere in a document you won't find unless you know the specific name this week to search for.

azure also has separate pricing for storage based on the intended use. backup storage cost several times more per gb than standard storage, because reasons.
