I use lots of services that are not based or have a presence in my current EU country though. Do Cloudflare even _have_ a German office and entity?

I’m not making any claims about the danger or lack of danger. Anyway, in the absence of specifics, this is a boring conversation.

Dangerous, how? All this vague handwavey fear mongering doesn’t really do it for me. Specifics are more my thing.

Where I live is a private decision. That should have zero influence on how much they pay me. To me, that comes across as “we will determine your standard of living” and that is incredibly toxic.

For some reason I keep getting job offers from Gitlab and that salary nonsense is always a hard pass. Whatever do they get off reaching into my private life like that. That isn’t the only thing in their handbook that makes me go hmmm and al

Can you, you know, bring facts and data to this discussion, as opposed to vague handwaving of weird accusations? Altman has been doing an amazing job at running the business he co-founded, and “instability” isn’t something _anyone_ at any s

by mdekkers 3y ago
It is likely that wherever Altman goes next, @gdb would follow, and _he_ is deeply loved by many at OAI (but so is Altman). CEOs should be judged by their vision for the company, their ability to execute on that vision, bringing in funding,

I would switch, but not because of Altman backing or not. I would switch if their strategy were to be to progress at pace. I’m not big on AI safety as it is parroted these days, I just want more AI, faster.

Coincidentally I read a comment today along the lines of “at HN, Cynicism-is-Intelligence” which really hit the nail on the head for me. This isn’t at all a nice community, overall.

I read somewhere that the CTO wasn’t at all the best pick for interim CEO, but they couldn’t find anyone else that was in their camp in a hurry. Nothing about this looks like they did their homework and thought this through. If they _had_ d

Where i’m from, if your manager literally states “you are ordered to do xyz” that manager will be fired. It’s not the fucking military.

by mdekkers 3y ago
The only time I have ever been “ordered” to do something was for an American middle manager (not in my line) in an American company. “Haha get fucked” wasn’t the answer he was expecting, but my non American manager told him the same thing w

I genuinely don’t know where to begin with addressing this level of ignorance. All Central Banks, including the Bank of Lithuania, are governed by the European Central Bank. Passporting works because of an equality principle. Lithuania has

The issue here is offering up #3 “It will be late, broken and other features will break” means you are not delivering anything of value, so it is not an option. Offering #3 just communicates “this can be done at a cost that is not relevant

This looks incredibly similar to wg-easy, which I see you have cloned in your github repo as well. Is this simply a SaaS-y frontend to wg-easy, or something different all together?
