If you are posting a "This be not good" warning on the toxic crap that is "X", then your credibility quotient with me just dropped by aT LEAST 20%, when it comes to my attention via a previously unknown to me, website (h

Sorry - you lost me at manage with NO direct reports. You, maybe, manage the coffee orders for the board of directors? I don't know if they exist anymore, but IBM, Microsoft, HP used to call you folks "Fellows" not CTO's

So I HOPE you cant mis-type an email address and get it sent to someone else. I get so many bank account statements, library book and device rental notices, car is ready for pickup, or from repair etc notices. ALL APPARENTLY from Bozos who

I guess that Harvard probably does not need the Feds as much as the Feds need Harvard but I'm glad they are standing up to the Fascists. I'm going to have to see what NYU is doing now.

I'm so glad I retired and can afford to say "No" with an occasional "Yes" if it's interesting :-)

I stopped using COBOL in 1978 and NEVER admitted to even knowing the language forever after. I'm making the sign of the cross and heading for a strong cup of coffee in the hope that I will never see this code :-) (impressive that you d

I got a little more than halfway into this long article, so I apologize if this was answered at some point. So what? Many native English speakers can't pick up a pen and paper and write intelligibly and would be in real trouble if they

Damn - I took an (AI) image that I "created" a year ago that I liked and then you animated it AND let it sing Amazing Grace. Seeing IS believing this technology pretty much means video evidence ain't necessarily so.

These jokers seem like the AI version of "script kiddie" hackers, and OpenAI may be engaging in a bit of humble bragging. It doesn't take considerable investments in time or money to run local LLMs, INCLUDING ChatGPT, where y

When you drink from the Google firehose it's not IF but WHEN you drown. I gave up on Google and their SEO metrics and crap almost two DECADES ago as it was clear where their DONT BE EVIL was going. Sheeple just put up with line after l

The article said 2800 miles of testing? Was that a misprint - a single one-way trip from San Francisco to NY is about that distance? Does the FCC or the Air Force get final say in this maybe a little more testing? I AM aware there are drone

Another PAYWALL link? Anyone know of a ycombinator filter that just strips out links that go to wired bloomberg nytimes wapo etc so that they just don't even appear in the feed? Im thinking about playing with a viewer that just blocks

Unless you are in an "at will" employment state or otherwise fall under those rules, then the company trots out "at will" (which you signed an agreement to) then the HR DRONES will state "You have no grounds to sue.

Companies started this crap just after 9/11. I guess I was a boomer IT guy and never saw the point of unions HOWEVER very early in my career I saw that the "company loyalty" mindset ONLY benefitted the company. This was BEFOR

I've been following the news on this but from day one. You have one or more rich guys who presumably have some brains and can do some research but they fork over money to an operation that wouldn't have passed safety inspections t

Dumb question. If an employer wants you to move then (a) Pay relocation costs. (b) Offer a REAL employment contract for a specified period. Employees may need an agent (just like pro sports) and pay a percentage but if you get cut then you

I gave up on following the Google SEO bandwagon years ago. I write for people and most definitely NOT for Google. I get around 800 real users a month on my site across about 20 countries - top 3 being U.S U.K and for some reason China. I ge

Very few people care about privacy which is great for OSINT practitioners. This Internet golden-age has made fox/sheeple tracking SO much easier, almost too much data available. That said MY Fitbit went straight into the garbage when G

If you want to keep the item EITHER buy DRM free (generally NOT Amazon) OR convert the DRM version into a personal non-DRM copy (e.g Epub/PDF etc)and save that into your own personal archive.

The original article was crap since the author stated "spent an hour trying to find blog and ...nothing" Any reasonable response would have been an hour trying to figure out where the "return" key was is NOT the same th

Okay which planet internet is this author living on? I regularly follow two cybersecurity blogs, two science fiction blogs and a photography blog? Searching for an hour and not finding any blogs? Credibility evaporated with that sentence.
