I think that the author and a lot of you discussing here are forgetting that in large parts of the world, Facebook is the internet.

While I’m unsure how it would pick up anything useful I can certainly see how it would work in an enterprise office. I’ve worked in the public sector for decades, and if you left an iPhone charger somewhere in an open office space, it would

Government can be said to there to protect people from themselves in some cases. If Amazon ran the world, 90% of us would be wage-slaves with no benefits. You wouldn’t want to live in a world like that, but you also aren’t likely to fight i

Well yes, but have you ever heard anyone who liked the notch on their phone? I have one on mine and while I don’t particularly dislike it, I’d certainly rather not have it. Which is sort of my point in Apple losing touch. They stopped chang

Documentation is also where things run, which resources they access and how and why they do it. I’m not a big fan of executable testing or self-documenting code in smaller projects. Sure you solve a lot with good naming, but it’s usually th

People are generally shifting toward green investments in their long term portfolios in my little sphere of the world, but Tesla typically isn’t one of them because it’s considered too risky. That risk is what made a lot of people rich of c

I thought it was sort of common knowledge that Apple was going to update the MacBook Pro with a Msomething powerhouse following the other updates, but maybe I’m just completely out of the loop on hardware rumours? Anyway, I don’t think it’s

This is why documentation matters, and why it can’t just live in a drawer. Who would set up a virtual machine backup system that offers no alerts when it recycles something? I mean, I might do it myself, so I sort of know, but you shouldn’t

As a Danish person it’s sort of interesting to see how much focus this particular area gets in comparison to other Norse history, but no, it hasn’t really been disputed in any serious manner for a while. A lot of the evidence doesn’t really

Inequality works pretty well, until it doesn’t. The system is build to fail. Part of the reason we get along so famously here in Scandinavia, and why we share the burden of the less fortunate is because of how we build our cities and system

I’m not sure what secret information the US thinks it has about nuclear science that you can’t just buy from Russia, India or China if you are a nation state. Though maybe not for $30,000, so if anything this article is more of an advertise

I’m not American and maybe your HR culture is different, but I have worked in enterprise sized organisations for a few decades, currently one with 10,000 employees and a relatively large HR department, and I’m curious as to why HR would get

Legal was probably the wrong word to use. It’s against the policy of OSM. It’s probably not actually illegal as far as the law goes. I mean, we own the map rights. Google had to seek permission from us to map our area and publish it.

I think it’s just a really hard nut to crack. Because even if you remove the bias and stigma, corporations are at their core, risk adverse. I’ve met these people in the public sector where we have policies in place to employ the people who

I think this is on point. We once had an issue with open street maps, that caused our routing system to not be capable of directing citizens and employees to the second biggest municipality in our country because a one way street had the wr

I’ve worked with a few former criminals who spent time in prison for things they did in their youths. Keep in mind that I’m Scandinavian and our justice system is very, very, different. But all of them had been young and unadjusted and even

Regulating big tech is a democratic issue. It’s not up to the individual tech worker to do so, and I’m not convinced that all these movements aren’t “soft-solutions” organised by big tech to avoid people working on real solutions. Solutions

Well yes, but there is also a rather big difference between knowing something and having evidence and testimonies of something. We also “knew” that a lot of the rich families in Denmark were hiding money in tax-havens. We couldn’t act on th

Never quit until you have a signed contract. I wouldn’t take it as though the previous manager gave them pause, however, people come and go and good managers manage that. It’s far more likely that HR was disconnected from the people actuall

You get paid $28 to corona test people. We’re actually in a shortage of both unskilled and skilled labour, or you could say, we’re in a shortage of people who are willing to work for $22 an hour in general. It’s actually really hurting a lo

Why would any Dane who is not in their teens or early twenties work for $22 an hour? Even the MCD “franchise” workers move on to better things.

I don’t agree with that. I work in the public sector of Denmark and we haven’t had issues getting Microsoft to change things to meet our needs. Well we’re still struggling to get them to commit to never having Azure support work on our thin

I’m wonder how it remains legal in the EU. Legislation really needs to step up on these things. It’s an American company that’s keeping taps on something like 600 million European citizens. I don’t care what sort of “license agreement” it c

Some of the most interesting projects I stumble on as part of the public sector digitalisation in EU are made in Ruby on Rails (Southern Europe, especially Spain/Portugal), PHP (all of EU) and Python (Eastern Europe). Having recently s
