> Anything without split hooves or doesn't chew it's cud is prohibited

I'm interested to know why these were picked out for prohibition.

Now do ASML ...

Two Karens yelling at a man, "Do you know who I am?"

That's the impression and its really shameful and embarrassing.

This is the way ... my way at least

If just turning off ADP placates the UK, it implies that the UK already has a backdoor to unencrypted data.

By this logic, United and American Airlines were complicit in 9/11 as well.

If companies are willing to outsource software development to offshore providers, then why not WFH?

Recently experienced this. Business users were reporting an issue in a system and were demanding an bug-fix. After reviewing their observations and stepping through the issue together, turns out the root cause was something completely unexpected that was in the background.

Saved the tech team time chasing from a wild goose.

These "vibes" extend further than that. Region/district/city/town/village/neighborhood/familial relation is the breakdown that I've seen. I've known of qualified Indians not applying for new roles because the hiring manager is from a different part of India (Tamil Nadu vs Uttar Pradesh, for example). They know they're not going to get it. There's also the caste system to take in consideration. The ones at the top are all inexplicably Brahmin and would never promote a non-Brahmin to their level.

I've seen all this OUTSIDE of the US, in a non-Indian Asian country that had a high number of Indian software developers in a shared service centre.

I've seen this firsthand ... in the scenario you described, you wouldn't get it.

Newsflash, they've always thought this way.

Most CEOs that I've worked under do most of their work outside of the office. That's why they have COOs to run the day-to-day stuff.

Time to get personal checks printed out that say, "By cashing this check, the cashee is NOT EXEMPT from any legal action in the future."

Don't call it ClownStrike ... call it ClownsTrike :)

Boys today are being left behind because they're not given attention by the school system. That's what I take away from not having any expectations of them.

But the Xiaomi has infrared port!

Would have been useful 30 years ago when the Z80 manuals we had were falling apart.

Nope, this has opened the door to all kinds of malfeasance. It's not wide open and welcoming, but ajar nonetheless.

"No One Lives Forever" was an amazing game. It's a shame that it's "lost".

17 years ago I built a system to automatically consolidate and pre-processed data from various sources. It saved 20 man-hours a day of effort and downtime. Put in 12 hours of support over the 2 years it stayed under my management, while I took many hits about how "badly" it was designed and how other teams could improve it. Moved on from that role.

6 years after left the role, I got a call from a sysadmin. He told me the machine that hosted the system went down but they managed to recover the HDD and restore it into a VM. I was surprised because I thought they had decommissioned it long ago, when the vultures who wanted to pad their KPIs tried to write a better version. He said multiple efforts all failed and no one was able to replicate what that system does. The reason he gave me a call is because after they loaded the HDD into a VM and turned everything back on, the system came back online and was working perfectly without any effort on his part. He was astounded and just wanted to talk to the person who was able to build a system that literally wouldn't die.

It wasn't the most elegant or best designed system, but I designed it not to die and that's exactly what I got!

Wow, this article brought back memories I'd forgotten. I applied for an internship at Wavefront Technologies in Santa Barbara back in the 90's. I was so impressed with their offices and the SGI boxes they were using.

Had to deploy systems to 5 new remote destinations that the airline I worked at was going to start flying to. I was given 30 days to rollout, which is tight because we were starting from scratch with no infrastructure or equipment on hand. So had to rush order everything, paying premium prices, and had to sign contracts for internet access, etc. Because these 5 airports were not currently in service, had to ship equipment and implementation teams to deploy. Now, when I said remote, I mean they are not large locations so there were no local contractors available or available at extremely high costs.

Anyway, got everything and started up. The airline started operating to 2 airports and then after a month realized that it wasn't cost efficient to operate at any of these 5 airports. The cost to just cancel and remove the equipment was USD100,000, not including the cost of setting up in the first place. Total cost blown as USD250,000. Colossal waste of time.

> This specific application and the claimed rationale is as close as I have come to seeing what I consider true and deliberate "Evil application" of technology out in the open.

Someone will double down and include AI into the execution phase via AI controlled drones, tanks, etc. Then they will claim no responsibility and blame the ghost-in-the-shell.

On a trip to Spain, I bought a container of saffron in Toledo for USD100 for my mom. Lasted her for years. Tremendous markup along the trade route.

You buy a car but now you move your TV in it. The car manufacturer prohibits you because you didn't buy their truck and sues you for it. This cannot be allowed to become the norm.

Worked for a CEO who prided himself in making quick decisions, almost of all them damaging to the company, and would make fun of those who took a moment to think, like me. Although he intensely disliked me, I was the longest tenured Head of Tech because I didn't make mistakes and he couldn't get rid of me.

Addendum: I might have taken a while to think through a problem, but I am quick-witted in arguing hahaha!

Probably couldn't brand and limited access to multiple parts of the car. Imagine only being able to use Apple Tires+ and nothing else.

It's not a defect, it's the Apple Crack feature. Wait till you see the next version.

Huawei was targeted because they refused to allow backdoors in their switches and phones that the 5 Eyes could exploit.

Why is this article timing out for me on Firefox and in South East Asia?

EDIT: It was the CloudFlare DNS issue. NVM.
