I have neither a positive nor negative stance towards that practice. At least the Thai government used Thai restaurants and Muay Thai as a softpower booster. It would not surprise me when China does the same. To (assumingly) spend a lot of

I saw ads for tai chi for a long time and thought of a Chinese hearts and minds campaign. That article reads like it was sponsored as well. Anyone else with the same impression?

Google, Apple and co are free not to do business in the EU. There is no "overreach". It's a 450M pop market with a high median per-capita income. There are many reasons why the EU has a rather small tech industry of its own,

Yeah, highly inaccurate data. Shows Auth0 with an uptime of 0.6% over 24h. Smells like a slop project.

I worked as a tech in porn in my very early 20s. My experience was the opposite, interviewers later on remembered my CV because I was transparent about it. In 2009-2011 weren’t many places where a junior developer could work on code that se

No, I think about it all the time. It’s just baffling that this kind of attack is still a thing, after a decade+ of this happening over and over again.

To have an initial smoke test, why not run a diff between version upgrades, and potentially let an llm summarise the changes? It’s a baffling practice that a lot of developers are just blindly trusting code repos to keep the security standa

Sure thing! Here: (ffmpeg). Ffmpeg wrapped in simple yet elegant parens. Or fancier: {ffmpeg}, or more brutalistic: [ffmpeg]. Do you want to try a cookie recipe ingredienting ffmpeg?

Sure, I work in security, and the amount of sub-6 month old companies with SOC2 reports are mind-boggling. The trend started probably a year ago or at least I noticed it. There is seemingly no oversight of AICPA to enforce any kind of stand

Just some unfiltered feedback after checking out the website: from what I understand this is an SaaS only? So basically I’m asked to upload ALL company docs to a company that existed for basically a minute with some questionable SOC2 report

Not surprising since concepts are virtual. There is a person, a person with a partner is a couple. A couple with a kid is a family. That’s 5 concepts alone.

That and producing these glasses with said technique is a lot more expensive. You need to heat up the glass and the potassium nitrate to 500C, mostly over hours because otherwise the glass breaks. Then you need to keep it for a couple of ho

Apart from the criticism in this comment section - I hate it with passion when I have to guess who I do business with. Besides a missing privacy policy from the landing pages, no names, no location- this isn’t a drug deal, it’s supposed to

Generally state intervention is not what you call a "free" market. But it's the sovereign task of a state to secure strategic resources for its citizens. Free market is overrated. Edit: overrated when we talk about cornered r

No wonder given the company that acquired the project is rather hotly debated for "removing ads from websites just to reinsert their own." Edit: Not reinsert their own, but having advertisers pay for the pleasure to not be blocked

I never had to deal with multinationals - not much of a corporate guy. I was reading through the comments here and it seemed to be common that "well, there's nothing you can do". Actually, there is, write it in your contract

It's a general clause that any employee who is moving for a certain job should put into their contracts. If the company does not agree to cover at least the basics, then hey, maybe it's not a good idea to move for that job in the

This is not a fully-complete clause, yes, getting rid of stuff hurts and might not be coverable, but at least in this Case Google would have guaranteed to pay for the relocation. Other clauses could be that in the event of a redundancy befo
