No, it’s actually quite accurate. BGP hijacks are a vulnerability in the very core fabric of the internet. Just because we’ve seen a lot of BGP hijacks recently, does not in any way, shape, or form downgrade their severity.
I totally agree. Claiming copyright over other people's work and using that claim to block other people's work, is a far more serious abuse than merely violating someone's copyright, because it actually takes something away from the victim. It's much closer to actual theft, because the victim loses their 'property'.

And yet there doesn't seem to be any punishment for that. I'd rather see the EU protect the rights of independent artists and regular citizens, than those of large corporations with a tendency to abuse their rights.
These routes can spill over many different paths. There is no central authority that would be able to drop them from the whole internet. Even if one Tier 1 ISP dropped them then their routes would just flow through another one. And good luck getting all of them to agree on that unless there's some massive, persistent abuse.

I have the same problem. I'm lucky enough that my network of former colleagues and existing clients has provided steady work. One example - a high level person at a startup I still work with, left for another position. I made sure to stay in touch with him, if only by connecting on LinkedIn. He gave me some project work when he started his new role. There is a lot of turnover in tech (assuming that's what you are doing) so staying in touch is essential.

Search out colleagues who you have worked with, even if you didn't work directly for them. If they know you they should be in your network. I have gotten referrals from colleagues I worked with 8-10 years ago, because I stay in touch and periodically say hi or comment on their posts. You can do all of this from your couch.

I'm a LinkedIn pro, which I don't think has any additional value other than being able to cold message people. Look for companies hiring for your niche segment and then see if you have any 2nd degree connections. If not use one of your 15 InMail credits. Try to connect and let them know that you are available in case they ever need freelancers/contractors. Most of the time this will yield nothing but it's worth trying if you have nothing else to do.
There was never an English Empire. However, it seems an ongoing trait of non British people (mainly Americans) to call our nice little set of islands and territories 'England'. Most notably is constant use of the title 'The Queen of England' - There hasn't been a Monarch of just England since before 1603. To counter, maybe us Brits should start pretending that New York in't part of the USA, or that there are only 9 federal regions (take your pick which one should no longer belong!).

Summary: Stop calling Britain 'England'.
Reminder that China has some big investment in Nigeria, they even built and operates a railway there.
Meltdown: Basics, Details, Consequences
What I find funny about "virtue signalling" is that it's a pejorative only the right accuses the left of, and like the phrase "politically correct", it's hard to take as any kind of insult. You think I'm virtuous and my politics are correct? Well thank you very much, very kind of you to say so.

I think relativity makes this impossible; you're essentially saying there's a particular trajectory that has an absolute velocity of zero. Relativity is founded on the idea that there's no such thing; any trajectory has an equal claim to be the zero velocity.

Maybe time travel would stay in the same reference frame, so if you're on the Earth's surface you end up in the same position on the Earth. On the other hand if you're on an object that experiences non-gravitational directional changes in the span of your time travel, you might be in trouble.
It goes both ways. In my garden I observed ants carrying tiny little parasitic aphids up on sensitive plant spots and eat their glucose rich feces they produce by sucking fluids from the plant.
You might want to do some reading yourself. Start with The Cultural Revolution A People's History. Also 1984 and the Gulag Archipelago. Free speech and the ability to hold opinions which the zeitgeist of the times views as controversial is key to democracy and a healthy exchange of ideas. It's also key to progress and basic human rights. Concentration camps, purges, and reeducation are exactly what the PC mindset leads to. See China. It results in a very boring society where everybody repeats themselves in lockstep. Hacker News has pretty much achieved this, a singular intolerant mindset bigotted against those who don't hold the social values of Silicon Valley and killing off posts that challenge its views.

In 2011 SAP bought Successfactors, for 3.4bn. The "maven" CEO, Lars Dalgaard, was gone in 2013, did a short stint at a16z and runs his own VC firm.

SAP took 8bn to buy more cloud business, which is less money it will take to move ERP customers from on-prem to cloud.

As MSFT is raking in cloud revenue, every other enterprise player is nervous about looking outdated. ORA stopped reporting cloud numbers altogether.

For comparison, ORA bought NetSuite for 9.3bn USD in 2016. Since then they have told NetSuite customers their user licenses prices will be raised by 5%, every year, for the next 5 years.

Expect Qualtrics to pull similar stunts.

Keep in mind that a sufficiently motivated and powerful state (China comes to mind) could block any messages that appear to be encrypted.

In such a case, bad state actors would not be able to decipher the message, but they could determine that you attempted to send an unlawful message.

US had stringent regulations on high levels of cryptography until recently, so the U.S. isn't immune to this train of thought either.

Does anyone actually take the 'evidence' in those videos seriously?

At 1:50 in that first video, the 'light' occurs and then amazingly the electricity goes off.

What a coincidence that is.

Also coincidentally the 'light' has similar colour characteristics to the arc flash of a high voltage electrical line/transformer shorting out.

And coincidentally at 4:40 the same scenario repeats!

It would have repeated again in the first minute if they'd been closer to the electrical circuit that faulted out.

The rest of the videos appear as borderline CGI (floodlights washed out in truck area)or some video of clouds.

For downvoters (who perhaps don't like my swipe at commies): my point here is that not all of these were honest if misguided attempts to improve farm productivity.

Some, like in Ethiopia, were closer to ethnic cleansing -- deliberately moving people (esp from Tigray IIRC) who were violently unhappy with the government, to less fertile places where they didn't understand how to farm, especially with new crops to boot. But by claiming this was a modernisation scheme was excellent PR, people like those, and the resulting famine was seen primarily as a great tragedy, and brought in lots of aid money.

It's great for people to get out of their comfort zones and try things that they weren't sure they could do, but sometimes you just have to aim for a target you can hit.

It's pretty well known that the most successful teams are often those that function well as a team, complementing and supporting each other, even if they lack superstars. They need people who fit into their "lesser" niches. Sometimes it's not about hustle, hustle, hustle. It's about execution, execution, execution. The small fish you caught tastes better than the big one that got away.
My comment essentially says the same that the comment that I was replying to; just a bit more obvious (and unlike the other comment, I'm explaining why I'm stating that). Yet the only downvoted comment is mine.

It's not a law yet. It's a proposal that cleared its first hurdles. Though with the overwhelming majority with which the MEPs supported it, it's not looking good.

There's an election in May. Maybe if we threaten to vote out everybody who supported this, they may change their opinion. It's going to be hard to mobilize that many people about such a complex issue, though.

Sadly, I'm unable to find a good overview of which parties or MEPs supported this and which didn't.

In my younger years, I lived in an apartment in an older house (early 1900s). The house had steam heat (and no air, which was kind of awful). Steam heat is a bit noisier and I’m guessing the systems are finicky, but the heat they produce is incredibly comfortable. I live in the Midwest, so temperatures can get quite cold. I felt warmer in that apartment than in any other place I’ve lived, and it’s not a drying heat the way that forced air is.

The house was a bit of a dump, and the quality of the heat didn’t really make up for the lack of air conditioning, but I still have fond memories of that steam heat 20+ years later.

> The first world war marked the moment when legacies of imperialism in Asia and Africa returned home, exploding into self-destructive carnage in Europe

I don't understand how the WW 1 is supposed to be the legacy of colonialism. From what I've read, WW 1 was caused by the local opposition between power blocks in Europe. Also the article spend way too much lines saying nothing of import on its subject; it seems more a political piece regarding #currentEvents than anything else.

I think the thing is, the Franco-Prussian war was a limited war with limited goals. The reason why the Napoleonic war stands out as the last war of significance is it was an unlimited war, which reformed europe after it.

I don't think casualty counts are particularly good metrics here - rather, the metric should be the degree to which the civilian population is brought into the war, as victims, soldiers, or workers. In that sense, the colonies had been experiencing 'total' wars in the sense that, europeans rarely distinguished between civilian and enemy forces when putting down insurrection, and rarely had qualms about mass conscription in various forms. Consequently, the casualty numbers and social destruction of the first world war, while extremely unusual for europe, would have been far less unusual in east Africa, or India.

That's also my understanding of the term "hustler". Obviously hustling is considered cool - so a lot of people want to be hustlers - but if a lot of people were able to hustle - then it wouldn't be anything special. So by means of commercialized cargo culting the agreed upon definition gets watered down to a level that can be met by more people.

Your focus is too narrow, you have to look at other industries too.

For example in beverages and fashion the capital needed for production is very limited, it's all about marketing and getting marketshare. Software is a mix where building is not as trivial, but it's for those big companies mostly about positioning and sales.
Those industries are much more sensitive about ROI, it's not easy to find ways to spend you money in those areas.

Google/Apple/Facebook are just very profitable companies with in internal investment arm because they don't pay dividends or make huge buybacks, what a traditional company like CocaCola would do with those huge profits.

There are investment companies with hundreds of billions under management, so that's also nothing out of the ordinary.
So the money is still invested, those companies don't have their billions on a bank account. Only this way those companies still have access and control over it, for acquisitions for example. Is that a good thing? Probably better than in some random fund owned by some individuals who are much more risk averse.

Tesla is another story, but from an outside perspective it's just very risky. They could've easily went bust if the Model 3 production went south, that's why it's tough for him to raise capital. Not many entities can gamble like that with billions, if it was a sure deal there would easily be enough capital available for Tesla. Look at the balance sheets of mayor car companies, for example Daimler has a quarter of a trillion in assets.

> Async streams, indexers and ranges all rely on new framework types that will be part of .NET Standard 2.1. ... .NET Core 3.0 as well as Xamarin, Unity and Mono will all implement .NET Standard 2.1, but .NET Framework 4.8 will not. This means that the types required to use these features won’t be available when you target C# 8.0 to .NET Framework 4.8.

We are approaching the point where .NET full framework becomes legacy, deprecated by .NET Core.

"It is incredibly easy to start a search engine"

Yes, but it's impossible to build a quality one, that will compete with Google.

"Microsoft has been taking their shot for years, and so far it isn't working, but that's not because of barriers to entry. It's because they do not execute as well as Google does."

MSFT is one of the greatest companies in the world, with tons of high tech workers, brand recognition and the like. If they can't make a dent in search, then again I hold this up as evidence of monopoly.

When there is only 1 primary player, despite everything else, then that alone is evidence of monopoly.

If VC's could spend 1 Billion and take a piece out of Google - they would in a heartbeat.
