Firstly, because no one could tell us how it really worked, how does it know what we consider an anomaly This hits the nail on the head for me. Unless the AI magic handwaving is 100% infallible a human in the loop needs to verify whether

I don't think that is how it works, we have labour laws for a reason. If vaccines can be mandated by companies where to draw the line?

Specifically coming from the assumption that it should be up to me what I put in my body. I understand there are exception e.g. vaccines mandated by the government (and conversely it is illegal to ingest substances), but that is very far cr

Employers have the legal right to require that their workers get the COVID-19 vaccine, with some exceptions, according to experts. The article mentions various companies/countries but this does not make any sense to me. Obviously I&#

Personally I disagree, but even if that was true, why add more unnecessary complexity to the mix? Deploying a jar vs deploying jar packaged as a docker image brings little benefits at a non negligible cost.

My experience with running images on k8s is way worse than what you describe. It is a clusterfuck of dependencies and configuration when in reality people just want to run java -jar.

Not sure where to draw the line between big and small, but instead of the current notion of employment which for wage slavery is a very apt term, society should look into worker owned businesses and/or collaboratives.

I'm sure it does. Maybe it is unreasonable to expect a blog to be readable on a 2 years old browser, but it looks like it took some serious effort this time.

The article loads for ~10 sec, shows for a split second and then the screen becomes empty. I'm using a moderately old browser (FF 61.0.1) but come on, how hard it is to display some text?

Plenty of US tech companies are present in the EU including FAANG, it is not like Europeans work exclusively for EU companies. Suppressed salaries are pure profit. $T companies not just come from nowhere. https://elsajohansson.wo

Clearly false unless you think a fresh graduate in a high cost area is let's say twice as skilled as someone with decades of experience in a low cost area? Salary is a good proxy of bargaining power, not a good proxy for skill.

Isn't that just the other side of the self deceit coin to have a peace of mind? If individual actions do not matter, climate change can not be our fault? I am on team Blame Others and tend to somewhat agree though. Paraphrasing David G

Depends on how you define expensive. For starters it carries an enormous opportunity cost and associated risks. If you mean living on the street and depending on the generosity of others can be started with close to zero cash, you are absol

It would be hard to explain to the school why are they missing classes. With all the appeal of the vagabond lifestyle, I'm not sure that is where their passions lie.

What exactly is the difference between ads and spam? Disregarding the $T business that tells me they are not the same, as far as I am concerned they are both unsolicited messages.

No, that is the definition given by wikipedia right in the first sentence, it is not a function of location. You can come up with your own definition of what you consider local (neighbourhood, city, county, state, country?) or cherrypick a
