They couldn’t get the CEO to make a statement? A 2 minute rail delay gets an immediate apology from the CEO in Japanese companies - I guess destroying another country’s beauty and livelihood doesn’t warrant that.

I seriously dislike PPP calculations for salary numbers. I feel like it disingenuously masks the real event that’s happening - employers arbitraging history and geopolitics to get labour at a suppressed cost.

Wow - yours and baybal’s comment above explained this quite well to me. I’ve always wondered about this salary dynamic! Thank you.

I think the answer to OP is in the combination then? High barriers to entry means there are fewer competitors for talent - leading to stagnating wages. It might all change with news like the above shaking things up..

Being an octopus is intelligent and great until Korean people decide to pluck you as a baby out of the ocean and boil you alive for fun (and laugh as you struggle in unimaginable pain).

I don’t fully understand the warnings at the end and the refusal to cover ML.

So the solution is to continue using suffering and historic injustice to force people into doing stuff they don’t want to do - “or else”? I don’t think so. In India, even middle class families can afford a part time house maid because the l

They only need to wait a century or two then... and try to release more greenhouse gases if possible.

Functionally...? Especially in the context here of tech policy.

I think the dismissal of EU does not sound properly justified - and the author writes off home grown innovation too easily in EU markets just because they are not “capable of chasing scale”. The bias is pretty clear for monopoly establishin

All this is a reasoned argument - but advertising really sucks, it’s either overtly irritating you or covertly brainwashing you with visuals and voices you would never naturally care to see. Plus, the democratised ad platforms have led to r

Are IPs really that effective for isolating users? VPNs, Tor, and even just Dynamic IPs issued by local ISPs made me always feel like that's a poor way to ban malicious users.

Oh my god I love this - the only problem is if people stop playing... hope this has a wide user base for a long time! :D

Thanks - this had even more value than the actual linked post above.

Add Background App Refresh to this please - considering that apps exfiltrate 4G/WiFi connectivity info (helpful to triangulate your current location) regularly to tracker/analytics scum APIs with this feature - it should be expose

Academia and “intellectual” circles in the West are not universally enlightened about the equality of humans (comments here, and on BLM threads on many forums). It doesn’t even appear to be an opinion of the conclusive majority. I was quite

The end of that failed experiment was marked by the release of a much better keyboard - which is what is shipped in the device featured. If anything, it further illustrates the author's point that hardware has to respond to customer co

This opinion sounds evil to me (not a reflection on you personally). > It helps society because you have more educated people with additional knowledge who may share back with the community at little cost. Same could be said of younger

I found it interesting to consider that the people who leave lasting impact and legacy on the world, don’t have extensive note-taking or organisation systems (like I am anxiously given to do) or whatever else. That’s not what we remember th

The fact that the word starts with 'mordid' somehow made me associate with 'mort' and that was not good :"D thanks for clarifying.

Oh gosh yuck, I didn't know about this. At least, the cert seems to be installed at OS level ( https://duo.com/assets/pdf/Dude,_You_Got_Dell_d.pdf ) instead of BIOS (like on Lenovo) - but now I'm as wary o

Sorry to be that guy, but 'things were uphill from <point>' means something got super difficult (as in running uphill is hard) - not sure if that's what you were shooting for.

Maybe the details of suffering they want to write are more graphic, but standards and the need to prevent public anxiety means that they write in a measured clinical-technical detail.

I find it funny how people are downvoting your innocent comment pointing out a fact... out of anger and hate for the actual fact :D

Wow. It's really no surprise that people in the past imagined dragons! With no theories around fossilisation, biological/geographical eons, evolution etc., imagine finding something like this (even just an exoskeleton fragment!)

I'd like StarLink (or something else like it!) to succeed increase internet adoption massively around the planet.
