What sector was the company in? I’m an Australian that has worked a lot with US companies. The most boastful Australian companies I have worked with have also been the least effective. Consultancies tend to be very boastful, but they have

It does have some defensive benefit. Getting legitimate connectivity to work reliably across the Chinese border, is a big pain. Due to this, Chinese commercial internet infrastructure has very few dependencies on international services. We

With the way that computer vision and AI continue to improve, I imagine that we will soon have completely external and undetectable cheating peripherals, simply capture the screen direct from the display output, and pass inputs via mimickin

The safety people got a hold of it, but they did end up releasing it, although it refuses to do a lot of simple stuff you ask it to.

With the proliferation of cheap consumer grade satellite communications devices, I imagine this sort of thing is going to become a bigger issue for the military. Apple recently enabled sending non-emergency messages via satellite[0], it&#x2

If the Navy provided a similar service, they could fully control the time and manner in which is used. Most of the time these ships are just floating around doing nothing particularly important or sensitive. The command could enable and dis

I would argue, the most effective change post 9/11, is the reinforcement of cockpit doors, and stricter cockpit access procedures.

Right to repair legislation makes more sense to me for consumer products, where the individual bargaining power is quite low. The military has a much much stronger bargaining position, why don't they already require that their contract

Sure, that's one option, and I don't have any insight into what nyt actually does with regards to it's handling of googlebot traffic. But if I were implementing filtering, I might prefer a solution that doesn't require k

They probably asynchronously verify that the IP address actually belongs to googlebot, then ban the IP when it fails. Synchronously verifying it, would probably be too slow. You can verify googlebot authenticity by doing a reverse dns looku

They have indicated that they will continue to make the source available. Assuming you pay for a license, does the license prevent you from building your own fork, and patching out the telemetry code?

by WatchDog 2y ago
There is zero reason to use async without await, unless I’m missing something. The number of await calls in your codebase should always be greater than the number of async modifiers.

SF public funds are horribly miss-managed. Hopefully events like this contribute to speeding up the reform that the city needs. Unfortunately the necessary austerity is going to cause more near-term pain, but hopefully results in some longe
