>It is interesting to see that employees of Convoy aren't saying bad things about the CEO

A whole two people who claim to be ex-convoy employees have chimed in from what I have seen. Hardly representative of what the average ex-employee thinks. Certainly not enough to form a conclusion either way.

Dear Sir

I have questions.
I used to fall asleep listening to this guy. Not a slight on him, I mean I would put his channel on and listen for 30-45min before falling asleep; the Chopin piece in the intro/outro just gives it a vibe, peaceful, but mystical, and sort of eerie. And his voice. Hard to explain. Great channel though! Highly recommend if you're in an...esoteric mood.
There's literally no-one on this planet who will genuinely confuse the sentence "palestinian terrorists are fighting for their freedom" with anything other than a machine translation error.
That's a broad brush. I don't really see the value in installing Chrome or any other Chromium based browser when Edge is already there, already updated, and also Chromium based. While in my personal life I used Firefox, I've found no reason for the last 2 years or so to bother with putting Chrome on a work device.
I used it for years until the update which removed most add-ons. Not because of that change though, that didn't bother me, but because the interface became and in my opinion remains absolutely awful. Some navigations went from literally 2 presses to more than 8 and I don't understand how people put up with it.
I'm curious as well, that's an astoundingly high burn rate for a 500 person logistics company. Wonder if there were outstanding debts
There's been some pretty clear suggestions up thread on where to find the funds, namely "several months ago in the past". To be more clear:

The business (Convoy) should have shut down in e.g. August of 2023 when it was clear that they still had enough cash to pay out severance and still cover the expenses of winding down the business. They did not take this option, choosing to instead risk it all that they could bring in an infusion of cash without firing folks.

This is not "boilerplate vapid moralizing nonsense"; to take such a risk when you have a company of 500+ employees is a poor business choice.
> then Google does a sneaky thing and make it so that any in-app browsers will still be Chrome thanks to the System WebView

Rubbish. Any app can use your own embedded browser engine - Google is not sneaky. It is just that the WebView is easy to use and you don't need to manage security updates. Apple doesn't give you the choice (I am fairly sure App store rules disallow you from embedding your own WebView implementation into an App).
I think people fixate on the word "knows" too much. They can clearly identify the difference between true and false statements, in the sense that if you provide them some statement it can identify it as true or false with some large degree of accuracy that is far more than you'd expect from random chance. This takes like 5 seconds to verify with chatgpt and you can see it as a feature in these data sets.

Whether it "knows" true and false or _anything at all_ is a completely different question.
>Planes prepare for basically 0 chance of failure.

NO, the entire point of plane safety is that you are prepared for the VAST MAJORITY OF FAILURES, through extensive planning, testing, regulations that force certain choices, redundancy, backups, etc.

Maybe companies should stop trying to play check kiting as SOP for business operation, and be willing to admit that they sucked at business, burned a billion dollars, and didn't even keep any of it to help any of the people who did the work survive for the next few months as they adjust.
This comment was posted elsewhere in this thread, but I feel like the incorrect portion here begs correcting again.

> "Alhamdulillah" [...] is used by Muslims nowadays as an alternative to Allah u Akbar, Takbir, or Narai-e-Takbir because those 3 terms have been co-opted by Jihadists.

That's just flat-out false. Allahuakbar is a phrase of critical religious significance and tied to one of the pillars of Islam (Salat). Alhamduillah has always been a common phrase. Both are used daily by Muslims globally, even those who are not religious. They are far too deeply rooted in the creed and traditions of Islam to be able to be co-opted.
So you're saying - someone in the US is going to discover my ancestry and... do what? You can find far more inflammatory things about me online. Besides, if someone really wants to attack Jews, it would be a lot easier to find the address of their local synagogue. Or search the phone book for obvious last names.

There are a lot of lessons to learn from the 20th century, but I don't think "you have to hide your ancestry" is one of them.

> I used zip ties to keep all the cables in a single bundle, and coiled excess length in a loop behind my monitor.

I much prefer using double sided velcro strap that can be easily removed and reused. It comes in a roll so you can cut it as long as you want. I mostly dislike using zip ties unless it's close to permanent or a quick fix.

> To route the power strip’s cable cleanly, I attached a cable raceway to the back of one leg.

Consider using wire duct (sometimes called Panduit, a brand of wire duct) to manage cables by mounting a length to the underside of your desk. The fingers allow you to break out wire and cables anywhere along the length then tuck the slack inside and snap the cover on. You don't even need to tie up the slack though it helps. Used all the time in industrial machinery control cabinets.

That's the thing, isn't it? There's so many anticompetitive things at play here it's annoying that the DOJ is focusing on just one (default search). From Chrome/Chromium to Gmail making it impossible to run your own email server to it becoming increasingly more difficult to separate the Google services from the AOSP.

Also, if the DOJ is actually concerned about the anticompetitive nature of defaults they need to go after Microsoft's deals with PC vendors. If it's not OK to ship a phone with Google as the default browser why is it OK to ship a PC with Windows (prebundled and already paid for in the price) as the default OS?

At the very least the consumer purchasing a PC should be required to pay for the Windows license separate from the computer itself.

If they don’t have the means or resources to do business, let them stop doing business. Someone else will take their place, and with proper regulations the successor will take this sort of things more seriously.

I really don’t understand all these “business will become too onerous and they’ll lose money” argument. Society does not owe them success. If a business plan does not work, then let the company die. (It won’t be the case here, British retail customers are a blip on HSBC’s balance sheets).

In fact the blockchain cannot be broken because it is a chain. Compare it to git commits. If you would hack away one commit in the middle, the whole system would change.

Feel bad for mum but this guy is annoying. When I have a business relationship with a bank, I don't expect them to show up at my house or be all up in a concern about my mental state. I don't show up at the branch to check in on the mortgage department's mental well being every time the rates go up, I don't send my condolences when the stock price tanks or they have a layoff, etc. It's not the nature of the relationship!

The main question is - did the bank fuck up and if so, will they fix their fuckup. The TLDR of this thread seems to be that (1) yes the fucked up and admitted it and (2) the author seems to believe it will be resolved. So that sounds fine. The expectation that the bank will toss mom a few quid outside of their remediation process seems preposterous.
Kind of agree, kind of don’t. A lot of companies also bolt on as many features and integrations to their products as they need, to close sales or just because they think it will help expand their potential customer base. A lot of FOSS is maintained by people who don’t want to spend their free time shepherding some code they wrote turning into everything-software either.

There is a particular failure mode in FOSS though - normally in businesses, prioritizing new features is done on the basis of how it will ultimately affect revenue (or reduce costs, simplify things, reduce maintenance burden - still money at the end of the day). For those FOSS projects that are open to new features from randoms, those individuals are mostly adding features they individually want, and the amount of investment in those features is limited mostly by their level of personal interest. So you end up with a set of features that is more stochastically chosen, and some unimportant or minor features may have a huge amount of complexity/configurability/feature-specific code because one person needed it.

I think a lot of this could be automated with an exclusion zone around any emergency vehicle stopped within traffic space. Do not approach, leave if possible and always ask the operators for help if it finds itself within such an exclusion zone.

Cruise is level 4 pretending to be level 5. It needs a better understanding of what it doesn't know--and any emergency scene above a traffic stop appears to be beyond it's understanding. The robocars are too reliant on expecting other cars to behave that they fail with the cars that are allowed to misbehave and they don't understand that doing something "illegal" might very well be the right behavior. (I've done so when I was stopped at a light and sirens were coming up behind me. I could safely move out of the way but violating multiple traffic laws in doing so--any human would understand what I was up to but a robocar wouldn't even consider what I did.)

(Yes, my approach would mean that if a cop pulls someone over but remains in a traffic lane the robocar gets stuck behind it. I don't consider this a serious problem--that lane isn't moving anyway.)

It is distorted in the sense that a sine wave that has been put through a nonlinear process -- e.g. clipped to form a square wave; clipped and integrated to form a triangle; clipped and integrated asymmetrically to form a saw; etc.

Total harmonic distortion measures the amount of power that you have in harmonics vs. the fundamental wave. A purely sinusoidal tone would have no energy in harmonics; a saw would have 44% of its energy in harmonics.

Maybe you're nitpicking and saying that it's not "distortion", but harmonic distortion as a metric of how much energy is in harmonics-- because the primary way we used to get those harmonics is by distortion of a sine wave-- is common lingo.

> What had happened was that someone had hacked in to the real estate agent email and had sent a fraudulent email, so she transferred the tens of thousands of pounds to the wrong account. This was discovered a few days later.

That's why I always "warm" bank accounts. I first do a little transfer, then confirm with the person, on the phone, that the money was received. If that's not possible (for example for fully automated system which expect the exact amount), I make 100% sure the account is correct.

Note that what you mention is a famous scam in the cryptocurrencies world: replacing Bitcoin deposit addresses (say a Bitcoin deposit address belonging to an exchange like Kraken or Coinbase) with the attacker's address. There are even malware who modify the clipboard when they detect that a Bitcoin address is in the clipboard. Even "better": there are malware that do this while making sure the last four digits are the same as those on the legit address (so people only checking the last four digits and thinking they're good are owned).

It's very hard to not get scammed in this mediocre world full of shitty insecure, constantly owned, OSes, phones, websites, etc.: nothing that appears on these shitty devices can be trusted.

The problem is so bad people are using 2FA devices and are still getting scammed.

Not very compelling at all. The most one could say is that we are not certain to have free will, not that we certainly do not.

A better way is to be pragmatic and do what we can, rather than try to decide who's at fault and punish them to our satisfaction--see Norway's system[0].

Presumably if they introduced usernames they would also allow you to hide your number in a chat?

edit: I think I misunderstood you. Yes, it is the case that everyone in the chat has access to everyone else's ID, however in my use-cases group members have already been vetted before joining the group, I don't participate in publicly accessible Signal chats or use it to communicate with true strangers.
And that is most but not necessarily all you've earned, and the Gov has no way of knowing the total unless you fill out a form.
I use Signal to talk to friends and family. Everyone I message on Signal are people who already know where I live.
My mom came from the West coast of Mayo and called it Dilisk (dilishk).
Why is it a false dichotomy to hold software products to the same standard humans are held to? That seems less like a dichotomy of any kind and more like a consistent policy.
Your group chats go into a black box unencrypted. You don't know what happens to it because it's not E2E. You also gave your phone number to this shady company who runs those servers which keep everything you wrote.

Even Whatsapp is better than this.

And what is that phone number fetish? It's not like it is some magic identifier. There are bots out there testing every number out there and sending you SNS spam. Your phone number is worthless.

As far as I remember, you can still find people on Telegram by searching for phone numbers. Isn't there even an automatic discovery feature?

The Telegram salt around those announcements seems like the final cry of Telegram fans to me because after that, there is absolutely nothing which would even remotely paint Telegram as a safe or secure messenger. Especially because everybody know why you are on Telegram. It's a different use case. I talk on Signal to people I know personally. They already have my number. People I know go on Telegram for porn and piracy over here. They still have Whatsapp or Signal to talk to their friends and family. They actually are ashamed that they have Telegram because everybody here know why they have it ;)
If only that were true. I can't speak for the world, but I know there are large swaths of the American population and even many people I know personally and probably have as Facebook/Instagram connections that absolutely would take it at face value.
