I’ve never heard of that feature in Windows! Unfortunately, that means I can’t judge it.
But I have used mouse warping in other environments and I’ve never been caused disoriented. It never occurred to me that such a problem is possible. In general, it seems like this problem can be avoided by 1) moving the mouse only to changed states of the screen, 2) only if they’re small enough to be easily observable, and 3) only for repetitive tasks.

What happens when you enable "mouse pointer trails"? Or is that a feature that died like a decade or two after manufacturers stopped using the extremely slow LCDs that made use of the feature all but mandatory on machines that used them?
My point was about "most" vs. "slim". Two percent of the 5.6 million voters are 112k people. And since only half of them actually vote, it's a majority of around 56k. [1] That's a slim majority, even for a small country.
The immigration rates don't change that, because the immigrants cannot vote. The net immigration is also smaller, at around 85k per year, not 200k. [2]
On one hand I agree that the content of a file should guide a search. Copilot has improved lately to help me find something (standard Windows or SharePoint makes even searching for file names painful).
On the other hand, folders are still a good (and necessary) way to convey structure and meaning. Which files did I attach to that tax filing? Where can I share files related to this project?
Yea, it's hard to disagree!
… and I don't think it's plausible to completely move away from folders (thinking about all those GitHub repos I've cloned or `git init`ed).
Otoh, there are some abstractions that I would favor or at least like to explore for some (categories of) tasks.
Think of Miro or Prezi, for example… they combine a zoomable UI, allowing you to navigate through your content that's meaningfully grouped. If I compare that to Google Drive, which is a combination of files and folders, plus files shared with me by numerous people who all have their own preferences for naming conventions, etc., it feels disorganized by default and requires the mundane work of organizing, which could be abstracted by novel technologies that "understand" the meaning of files.
Agree. The Miro and Prezi analogy could lead to some very helpful new ways.
And re naming conventions: I really would like to have a linter that gives me all files in my convention (could be a local view for me rather than forcing for everyone).

Researchers can use the new computational methods to look for directional selection in other populations worldwide that have enough ancient DNA sequences and construct a clearer picture of what’s unique to different groups and what generalizes across populations.

Neat. But I am still disappointed that their ATEM Mini Extreme does not capture the transitions when recording to disk and opening in DaVinci Resolve (you only get the tracks). In their marketing materials it sounded like you do. Switched back to Premiere after discovering that.
Ooh, that 2nd link has a nice construction by Terry Tao giving a clear way to show infinitely many such functions exist for pretty much any set of operations.
The French move will hit the Productivity/ Business segment. Their motivation is to limit extra-European dependence so they will look elsewhere for this.
Similar to Germany with its DeutschlandStack and some migrations already ongoing.
