Yep banks that took on excessive risk in times of expansion.... And as SVB has failed today as has Silvergate recently, it seems we are looking at some level of issue.

Whilst banks may have lots of regulations (depending on their country of operation), banks do fail reasonably regularly. For example this list of US bank failures https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_U.S._bank_

So, I completely understand that gov's are concerned about an application on gov. devices being used to profile their staff. There's been plenty written about profiling people based on app. usage. The bit that somewhat surprises m

The update near the bottom around problems with other sites that the author used Facebook sign-in for, is why I almost always avoid those SSO style logins. SSO is handy for security until your SSO provider breaks or (as in this case) bans y

I'd guess that depends on the consultancy, but I think one of the complaints customers have is that the "data crunchers" hourly rates is often quite high, sometimes higher than you'd pay for an actual expert in the field

If the chargeout rates and quality of frameworks and level of oversight is right, then fine. Unfortunately..... that's often (IME ofc) not the case. The financial model and incentives for these companies is to staff with as junior

The privacy aspect had me saying "ah hell no" as soon as I got to the bit about it running in the OpenAI Playground (would be the same with any cloud service as well).

If you were willing to take Linux admins and cross-train, sure I could see that. But a lot of companies tend to ask for x years of actual experience with the product, and there's far more people with that in Linux than Any proprietary

For me, one of the main reasons that Linux replaced proprietary Unix in a lot of places is, ease of learning. It's simple and cheap to get started with Linux and as a result there are lots of people who know about it, so it's very

Can't think why they'd add NSFW to that site, it's a plain text site primarily. I guess there may be something NSFW in the FTP archive somewhere, but I think that's probably an overactive filter.
