Can't speak for everywhere of course, but the places I have worked nobody likes spikes or over commitments. The customer is shouting at your people, salespeople and support spend time and get stressed dealing with them, leadership gets bogged down approving bill reductions. Even if granted, customers remember the bad experience and are probably more likely to churn

How Lidl accidentally took on the big guns of cloud computing
Any thoughts on how to report requests to do things like this?

I've had several emails from strangers over the past month asking to use my identity (i.e. Upwork profile), setup a report laptop, and "collaborate".

Until now I've just ignore them or mark them spam.
Depends on the volume. But it’s mostly under the 80k required capital.

There are even some open source implementations for the backends.

Most expensive points are the required employees and the signup fees (and prepaid) for other registry’s like .xyz

>If not for components that were invented in VSCode (LSP) then no one would be using vim these days

I hate to tell you but, Vim has always had a pretty strong user base. There are folks like me that used it before LSP, and never had interest in leaving. Now your statement might be more accurate if you said, "If it were not for LSP, no one would be leaving VSCode for NeoVim."

> There are plenty of hills to die on that's much more noble than "I like this editor"

I agree. Use whatever you want. But don't make misinformed statements about WHY folks choose something other than your choice.
I completely agree, GDPR is definitely a more detailed ruleset than what I outlined, but from a data management superset perspective you would have the mechanisms and facilities to deal with the GDPR-specific rules anyway.

I've found that this is mostly a problem in organisations where data isn't managed, the government doesn't protect the people, or where some vague value is assigned to the data (so it does get stored, but when it leaks it is supposed to not have value and therefore do no damage). So looking at it from an "you will be managing it anyway" angle has worked well for me when trying to activate teams/units/orgs.
There is hardly a company I trust less than Lidl in the realm of tech

"Case Study 12: Lidl’s €500 Million SAP Debacle" (2020): https://www.henricodolfing.com/2020/05/case-study-lidl-sap-d...

They're already generating revenue so congratulations to them, but would I put my infrastructure in their hands for the long run?...
You don't appear to understand how companies are valued. And, you haven't stated what NeXT should have been worth and provided the evidence to back up your claim. You've only stated Apple paid too much. History shows they didn't. You claim that's 20/20 hindsight - but you bring nothing to the table other than an assertion that they paid too much.

Meanwhile, I don't need to read books - I was there. You have someone who was an eyewitness account at the time, deeply involved in software development and the developer community at a national level - and you cast it away as "feelings."

Sorry, you're an idiot.
> is Google actively working against forks

They could not accept those changes without being actively against forks. It would just mean they aren't actively supporting forks, which is a different thing.
I have similar experience with reddit. First few times I got banned it actually impacted me. I thought I really messed up or did something wrong, even tried to have a conversation with the mod team. Then I realized being banned from most popular subs should be worn like a badge of honour because it just means you're not part of the circle jerk.
Uber is very aggressive with notification span

Even worse when you move between countries and suddenly "Uber Country X" uses your account of "Country Y" to spam notify you about promotions in X. It's weird in a bad way
I suppose doing encrypted comms really well is actually quite hard, and more susceptible to decryption.

Daniel has a few gems in this blog post and we tried to italicize some of them. My favorite one is around "There is no code without a theory of testing."

"If you have 100% branch coverage, it doesn't mean you've covered all the cases. But it does mean that, whenever an obscure fault is understood in production, or even merely observed in development, there is an incremental path to add it to the base of knowledge in the tests: there are no spans of code with no test model."

It's been my experience that a lot of Ikea things barely survive the first owner and rarely survive a move. This looks like it solves the worst of those two problems.

I would highly recommend getting a drone simulator off Steam. You can practice the controls and drill them into your fingertips during times when you can't fly the real thing (battery recharging, night time, weather, ...). Most advanced radios allow you to hook them up to the computer so you can fly with the exact same inputs, but a console controller is also acceptable.
So, hiding true intentions and needs is better? Why is regulation not to force companies to be clear that you may be expected to be flexible with your corp comunication before signing the contract?
I think using a HEPA air purifier can still be beneficial. ERV and HRV typically have standard filters that may not capture very fine particles, allergens, or airborne pathogens as effectively as HEPA filters do.
Yeah, how can I get one of these? And I'm a real person, in the US, who actually knows "computer stuff", not some North Korean shell.
The only reason they'd make that an option is if they were having trouble with their fill rate.
Can you name two EU countries that have "better" free speach than the US and articulate why you think that?
HOMM3 is definitely not perfect.

Vastly different spell strength plus random spells in mage guilds sucks. Even highly varied random starting artifacts is bad. Utterly useless skills like Diplomacy. There are small and aggravating quality of life issues like the autopathing taking more movement than manually doing things because of the way diagonals work.

I also consider the really abusable monster AI to be a detriment, though some people like this as it lets you access powerful resources "too early."
Chromium's codebase isn't so bad for a first timer. Years ago our product had a bug on Windows where if you paste an image from the clipboard, the image had garbage in it (something to do with alpha channels). I realized Chrome has no such bug so they probably had a workaround. It took me like 30 minutes of lurking around in the codebase for the first time to find their workaround and apply it to our code.

Nothing to be ashamed of, imo; printf debugging works incredibly well!
If I'm moving a long distance (which I've done a few times in my life so far), I usually try to sell as much furniture as possible rather than moving it with me.

It's already easier to sell Ikea furniture as people will search for a specific Ikea item that they're looking for.

If Ikea makes this process even easier, that's all the more reason to prefer Ikea furniture.

Not at all. The main thread of my comment(s) was that moral value judgments are extremely prevalent. In fact nothing actually happens in society without someone making a value judgment. And most of the time nothing particularly crazy happens.

It’s easy to point to some barbaric act and say “see, this is what morally motivated policies result in”.

But in reality, moral value judgments are all around us in the most mundane of places. It’s moral value judgments that cause us to have anti-monopoly laws. It’s moral value judgments that cause us to configure tax codes one way or another. It’s moral value judgments that cause us to appreciate the things that capitalism gives us. Etc etc. You can’t escape it.
Which schmucks? The Americans that got arrested? Yes, they would've had to somehow funnel those earnings (minus a cut) to the North Koreans, so they were absolutely complicit.

If you're talking about the North Koreans doing this, I kind of don't blame any of the citizens, they're all victims of a brutal regime and are doing whatever to survive (literally). Yes there are truly bad actors too but it's hard to tell what's what. (Not excusing their behavior from OUR point of view)
The people advocating for more privacy in the EU and pushing legislation like GDPR aren’t necessarily the same people who want to weaken encryption. Lots of things going on in the EU at the same time.

I agree though that it can be hard for a US company to comply with GDPR as every country seems to interpret it slightly differently. The same difficulty is coming on the AI legislation side.

>This is all wildly ironic because the EU is constantly trying to spy on their own citizens

I am assuming you refer to a law proposal that was rejected, but did you know americans were sponsoring and pushing that law proposal to spy on chats? Yeah same CP people.

Also there is a GIANT difference for a country to "spy" on their own citizens and USA spying on foreigners , a country has a consitution and lwas that protect the citizens freedom where USA has no laws that protect foreigners freedom so the NSA guys could watch an EU citizens photos, read their emails since they are not from USA they are lesser humans.

But that will make these companies lazy.

Chromium is open source, in my opinion, because Google can brag about open source, it has all the right buzzwords. But also gives them free R&D and labour.

I think given the size and wealth of Google, this is entirely inappropriate and people shouldn't be contributing to it, because it will only encourage this parasitic and exploitative behaviour.
What’s more - Ukraine gave up its nukes in favour of diplomatic promises.

If they kept their nukes, there’d be no invasion.
> Did wages rise 10-fold to match the 10-fold rise in the cost of a modest house? No.

Where is all that money going? How can a house cost so much more, but wages are stagnant? Who benefits?
Stay focused for more then 10 min
Isn’t it obvious
Well technically data transfer according to GDPR has nothing to do with where the data is geographically. It’s what legal jurisdiction the controller or processor is under that matters. If you move data to a processor under another jurisdiction that is a transfer.
Im an EU citizen from a NATO country and would take that job for half the money and I also don't want to nuke you. The US jobs market is crazy.
Is IKEA stuff made to be disassembled repeatedly?
hummm, found the "read message" language setting... I doubt it it will work properly but will try

Thanks :)
Funny they are being fined in the Netherlands, because Uber is almost invisible there, as regular taxis have been protected. I don't have accurate data, but it's at least 15€ per inhabitant, so it seems like a very very steep fine. I can't imagine how much this is per driver, €25000?

It seems the dutch regulator is saying "why don't you just go away?". The feeling is likely mutual.
Omi has a pretty interesting architecture that has been completely open-sourced:

- The device itself is a Nordic Semiconductor BLE chip with GPIO, mic, and BLE.

- Audio is streamed (as OPUS) via BLE to the associated mobile device where some initial processing is handled.

- The audio is then passed to a FastAPI-based backend API service that handles integrations with Deepgram, etc.

Overall I think it's a clever way to handle this: you get to use very cheap hardware that sips power (battery) while utilizing the connectivity of the associated mobile device whether it be WiFi or cellular.
It is. To simplify, if every conversion makes the company makes $1 and 100 prospects enter this funnel, going from 20 to 23% means they make $23 instead of $20

Firefox isn’t very modular. There’s just a C++ part and a JS part and they can be built independently. My understanding is that new developers are encouraged to focus on the JS. The devtools team is entirely JS, with some fancy modern affordances (TypeScript type definitions!) that teams working on the older parts of the JS codebase don’t have.
> The difference is that other platforms give EU states access to people's private messages.

Which other platforms are you talking about because both Signal and WhatsApp are e2e encrypted?
Most stuff can be disassembled once or twice.

Agreed

Schools and daycares are often places where illnesses spread quickly
I'm all for the concept. I'd be interested to see how it pans out. There are a few key things that I'm skeptical, but hopeful for.

1. The scope being limited to Ikea feels like it would decrease the user base notably enough where it wouldn't be worth it for users to sell or buy, ending in a downward spiral.

2. Maybe this is just me, but dealing with any potential liability of P2P sales sounds like a real PITA. Not sure where/how you can draw the liability line (probably depends on the country).

I'm guessing that they decided that they had no piece of the P2P used pie, so they're trying to grab a sliver.

I'm all for used furniture. I've had a really good experience with Ikea quality if you buy above the absolute bottom tier. I'm using a desk that's been taken apart and put together for the last 5ish year and it looks and feels new still. Same with a small loveseat and some metal night stands.
It’s not nice or effective to imply I don’t know my history because I came to a conclusion you disagree with. For all you know I’m an absolute history nut.

It’s better to ask for my reasoning and explain your own opposing point of view.
There’s evolutionary pressure here. IKEA quality ranges from cardboard to excellent and the stuff that self destructs won’t be resold

> the North Korean IT workers who used Knoot's laptop farm generated revenue for North Korea's nuclear weapons program

Such an off-handed manner of presenting a really strong accusation! How did they do it exactly, directly, or just being citizens and paying taxes?
I think it’s a bad comparison. The author cherry picks the SV area which is not indicative of the country as a whole. (And it goes without saying that the explosion of tech in the area coincides with the decades being compared). The author also makes no mention of the change in preferences that accompanied these prove changes. E.g., the average house size has increased dramatically.
A key concept here is scalability.

Circa 1980 the Soviet Union stationed a platoon of spies in the house across the street from dissident Andrei Sakharov. Potentially this is a full employment program. They could afford to do this for the father of their hydrogen bomb but not do it for everyone.

The ability to send out the police or some physical world agent to harass or oppress people is expensive and has to be limited and really if you've got fantasies of an oppressive cyber-state you can imagine something much more feasible.

That is, digital world measures such as wrecking somebody's credit score or manipulating their social media feed are believable, and in the current commercial way.

My latest "black mirror" experience was that I gave my phone number to the cashier at PetSmart a month and a half ago when I bought a 40 lb bag of kitty litter. After that I received weeks of remarketed ads on YouTube and other video platforms that had my email address (which PetSmart also had in my file.) I still can't get their jingle out of my head.

When I ran out I went back because I like their product and I like the price, but I did not give my phone number and told the cashier why.
The majority of politicians are white and diligently keep their jobs at the expense of women and minorities. The Chinese even have a name for it: Baizuo.

In fact, personally I find it much easier to work with Chinese and Indian "minorities" or women than with the highly paid Baizuo politician.
I replied to a comment about violation of copyright, which implies distribution.
With this reasoning, whether or not you actually have a hidden FS is not relevant, as it's unprovable. So you will be tortured with no end anyway just to make sure that there is no hidden FS. Because that you have a hidden FS will be the assumption of anyone thinking you are hiding something.

...and then each post links to other articles on the internet in an exercise to reveal which of the two of us has more genuine competence in this domain.

I am highly confident that I would be the victor in such a contest. Can you think of any games where you could outperform me, Surely Highly Rational In Fact Human?
As I'm guessing you're starting to suspect, there is no magic tool here.

It typically requires a dedicated 'platform engineering' team to manage the tooling and onboarding process, some kind of governance process over the services that are enabled, development and enforcement of the use of (in the case of terraform) terraform modules to constrain use to planned patterns and some kind of 'cloud security posture management' tooling to keep an eye on everything.

It increases costs and slows things down in the short term but it does help keep things reasonably controllable over time. I work in a highly regulated environment (five external audits in the last year) so my perspective is a bit skewed. However when we have an acquisition that has been doing things a bit organically, it's an impenetrable Charlie Foxtrot and the teams responsible for trying to get it under control have almost no understanding of where dependencies are, what's critical to the business or even how to start to insert some kind of influence or control over something that has been wholly unmanaged for years.
The fact this was created so quickly implies to me, having AI assistance embedded in your editor is not a competitive moat/differentiator.
