> even a remote one I would say "especially a remote one". I think those days are gone. I see the 60 office-40 home being prevalent, and the 40% is more like a favor to you/us rather than 'work life balance'.

This comment will not contribute anything, and/but it is a thought that I had a few days ago, and I cannot 'shake' it. We keep 'discovering', recognising, mapping, etc. And I feel that every 'breakthrough'

It's not hubris (for the engineer) in this case though. It is the fact that company X knows that its dept Y can thrive with 10 engineers, and stay afloat with 5 engineers, so the magic number is 5. And then it is down to the individual

I see the segregation of duties falling apart. "My company" would hire that politician, set him on a nice office, air condition, unfiltered internet, an assistant, 4 SBUX coffees and pizza every day. And once the 2 months are out,

If you have noticed, every independent candidate almost never gets elected. Vast majority of those who say they will "change the country to the better" either never get elected or are ousted early on. And those who stay change the

That is a great point. Machine consumes energy of adding goblins in every response. The machine consumes energy on removing goblins from every response. That is a great attack vector. If (wild imagination ensues) an adversary can do that x

hi, cool use-case! Question: do they have to type it, or one can upload an audio (old people such as me may talk for 5mins about a mini-story vs typing for 20mins, especially if they use a phone vs windows telegram application (typing on a

We can't. If someone tries, then they get arrested for doxing, harassing, "causing discomfort", etc. Have you tried to follow a politician around? Do you want to try and track their phone?

IMHO1: Notion is a Confluence+SharePoint+Jira with useless "AI" to quickly create templates. Anyone who uses it for your made-up use-case is silly, and has no sense of 'segregation of duties' (access). IMHO2: this is a p

Whoah.. -4.. Fun fact, I was internal auditor in a bank (I will not specify the year(s) for safety/privacy). We did the due diligence and ended up buying a Ukrainian bank. Part of the 'collections' was really to smash people&

It's Ukraine. Are you aware of the "banks' debt collectors"? They had thugs knocking on your door (and your face) for an overdue loan payment; they would _of course_ use violence/torture to extract information.

The ads (and it's been debated) is (imho as well) a way to 'buy out those who can keep then in check'. Media/journalists are supposed to be doing that. But when your chief editor tells you "hey, 70% of our network&#

Having worked as IA in plenty of banks, I can only say "no good deed goes unpunished". My friendly suggestion is that when you involve cunts in the dialogue (regulators, legal depts, lawyers) you JUST started a fire and those assh

Any (mega-big) bank, insurance, logistics, food, is good to work in my book/imho. They know what they want. They don't jump from tech-fad to tech-fad every year. What works, works, and we/they keep it until it stops working.
