Seeing how the EU political set also is trying to get rid of E2EE messengers and such, I get a feeling it will not shake out that way either. It might make it worse, because they would have full legal and extra legal thumbscrews to apply t

I'm a mid career staff engineer & manager, and like many I filter out recruiter cold emails. Plus I wouldn't let that dissuade me from attempting to figure out how to break in if it lead to x2 FANG compensation rates consisten

My guess as to why the potato diet works is the glycoalkoloids inside potatoes, since potatoes are nightshades. Potatoes contain some of the strongest glycoalkoloids out of the nightshades. By eating only potatoes, you give yourself non-sta

Imo tiktok is a bit of a mirror. Its a thirst trap for you. For the short time i used it, it quickly started centering around cute/funny pets and science explainer videos. I also doubt it would show thirst traps to the typical strai

I know of at least one country that has had 'no face coverings & neutral expression' for ID photos for many many years, before computer facial recognition was really practical, possible or existed at all.

IMO your 170km/h example is a sanity limit you could put into most computer programs. Similarly with GPS assisted general limits and monitoring. (Ex: your in belgium, and the national max speed limit is XXXkm/h, etc)

If you ever interview apple developers for other companies, or just inspect what is being sent to apple's servers constantly from their devices, you'll realize that apple is recording A LOT of very private info about their users.

Yes, just like leasing office buildings instead of buying them causes companies to give all of their profits to real estate companies. Or using dell windows laptops. /s If AWS et all get too greedy, competitors will pop up saying &#x2

There is an inertial mass of engineers still in the USA at the tech hubs, and top leadership at those companies still don't want them to be remote. They rather pay more and have them not remote than to have them remote. And even if th

I actually do think the reason why gamers tend to be nastier as a group comes from them having a large group of children and teenagers. The vast majority of a group are lurkers, so you only need a small percentage of vocal jerks to make it

IMO the dealership network isn't really the issue, it's the lack of available parts, lack of repairability in their designs, like the battery pack, a lack of repair manuals for third party shops to adopt, choosing designs that bre

The amount of people dedicated to such projects is often a very small overall percentage of the engineering force, and they act as a leverage point. Invest in X staff, make all eng at the company 1.X more effective, therefore giving you a
