One of the problems with deep fakes is that they open the door for plausible deniability in case of hidden cam/mic recordings of wrongdoings of public figures. (Think celebrities, politicians.)

I wouldn't say he ruined the joke. The original saying quite obviously only covered the first two issues. The off-by-one error was only added later. Though it definitely did enhance the joke factor. https://www.karlton.org

I've been approached several times online by different people who wanted to buy my CodeMentor (now arc.dev) profile. It's a pretty strong profile with a lot of good feedbacks, but I haven't done any work (mentoring) in the pa

While it's not at all surprising, it was a fun read. Having used Elance/Upwork in the past, I was pretty sure quite a lot of off-shore (Indian, Eastern European) companies do a similar scheme. At least some of them definitely pret

The goal when developing software is to solve problems for people, so yes, being good at communicating with people is key. (You also have to know how to develop software, of course, but we usually take that as a given, since we're talk

Well, that's true for most countries. The idea of nation states originated (or at least became popular) in the 19th century. Before that the areas were mostly organized around rulers (like kings). But it has little to do with the curre

Well, I don't speak German (only recognize a few words), but the meanings of "Land" seem to include both "country" and "state". (As it's part of quite a few country names in German. Including Deutschl

FWIW, Germany which is also a federal state, also calls its constituents states. (Just to mention a non-English-speaking example.)

I've checked their website [1] and it says that the fallback includes bug fixes during the period you've paid for. Yes, 1 year can make a difference, but I see the fallback as a way of being able to have the product around just in

They are not 'all in' on the subscription model: if you stop paying you still get to use the last version issued while you were a subscriber. (Or maybe the one that was the current one when you paid your yearly subscription, but i

According to the wikipedia [1], the company was founded in Prague by 3 Russian developers. Now you can say that those ties are hard to break, but another way to look at it is that the founders have (likely) been living abroad for 2+ decades

I agree. Most people fail to see it, because they see all the effort they need to put into producing good results (regardless of their actual job, BTW). Programmers keep thinking their job is secure, because, after wall, we are the ones, wh

Well, I guess it depends on how hard they are playing it and what's the relationship between the victim and the perpetrators. Basically like with all other jokes.

> Well I'm sure this idea could be good in some circumstances Wow, this sounds pretty British or maybe American to my Eastern European/Hungarian ears. I thought the Swiss would be rather similar to the Germans in this regard.

It still depends on the organization size (or the size of the user base, or the complexity of the product). So you may only have experience with services where it was the right choice. I did see two instances where it wasn't. (I mainly

Which is a good thing, since microservices were way overhyped from the beginning. Now bashing too hard wouldn't be good either, but fortunately, the organizations that need it will be technologically mature enough to be able to ignor

The problem is not necessarily the (bad) intent. The problem is amassing data without a clear and well defined purpose. And "just in case we'll use it in the future" or "we might need it" is not one. And collecting

As I said, in the experiment it worked in the other direction: isolated people were more likely to suffer from dementia 12 years later .

Without reading the linked article: they have accounted for this by following up for 12 years and finding that isolated people have 26% higher risk of dementia. Which points to the direction that it's isolation causing the function los
