"energy and biotech spaces" - it is hard to distinguish between actually innovative and looking like innovative (but smart scam with nice promises).

yes, they probably have a "clean" build and "a build with extra functionality" build. So, they could even install a clean build for some trains. Though, investigators could just compare firmware from all trains made so f

Needed to install pg/mysql using helm charts and needed to apply SQL schema. And passing schema is so complex... (like write it into values file, but you cannot use any logic in values, so have an external script which would template v

oh, polish trains site is made by drunk students for a bottle of vodka... It is just terribly bad and haven't changed to the good side since like 10 years. They added some ads though and broke login for me during this time :D If you ne

So, google invented unlimited storage so it is easier to convince managers of small companies to use their gsuite. Once conversion is finished, they can raise prices. Cool. Making a notice 7 days before the data removal is bad. It is really

oh, tell it to the tram schedule app, popular in Poland. You pay subscription or you watch unskipable ads. Very cool when you have 3 minutes before your trap. And I am pretty sure just initializing the ads engine takes a half of a second or

"It is not a bug it is a feature it seams". The only way to solve it is to make buying from local producer and from China the same, i.e. extra import taxes. But these import taxes nobody likes, so nothing is done. Just a couple of

Companies which sell though Amazon. Amazon uses a smart strategy of erasing the individual seller identity. Even if you already bought some item from some seller and very happy with it, you rarely would get similar item from the same seller

You can review them with AI. They have info where link goes, who pays for it, who is targeted. Scammers would have to be more creative, when you automatically detect 90% of them. But currently I can say "Oh, I've seen this scam co

- ad-blocking - they are working on disabling ad-blockers, give it some time. You cannot block ads in the official apps. - regulators are slow, you can make money now. Probably even with regulations they would still make money from the scam

Western companies which cared, went a bit bankrupt sadly. We have negative selection here.

The people would be like: "If our company does not benefit from chinese slaves, someone else will and steal our profits!". Which is kinda sadly true, because Amazon does not care were the stock items come from. You can produce in

And this is what would happen. The only reason why it is not happening - many users would go and watch tiktok instead or FB videos would get a chance. I don't see the reason to support the company, which dreams to make internet worse.

marketing rarely correlates with reality. nowadays. uber: there is a car in 8 minutes from uuu! oh, thanks for ordering. now it is 20 minutes (30 in reality). and even if correlates, it is cherrypicked (hi, sony camera specs.)

Yeah, love all the innovation and competition in the mail clients nowadays. You sell your data to big companies or you get spam blocked by these companies, if you self host. Why google would invent better email sender validation procedures
