I think there might also be a consideration here that it's a US company. The FCPA has driven some foreign companies out of business and allowed giants like GE to buy up their assets. Alstom exec's were fined for ordered to either

This whole thing has given HarmonyOS a second market. I thought the whole thing would stay China only but it seems that as a result of sanctioning Huawei and by extension HarmonyOS based devices they have now opened a second (fairly big mar

I really dislike the fact that it only has Face ID in the age of masks, but otherwise I too think it's a great device. I'm surprised how quite a few apps in that ecosystem don't support the small formfactor though(i.e. keyboa

What I don't understand is why nobody seems to care and there are never any long term repercussions. They still get their big contracts and nobody questions anything. Ernst & Young was a party in the Wirecard theft and they just tu

It's a pointless strawman anyway. He's clearly not the one making the decisions, so it doesn't matter if he's sane or not. A big chunk of his cabinet is equal to Obama's as well. And before you come in with "bu

I mean, how many driverless cars are there even? You can just compare absolute numbers. I can't believe I even have to bring it up on here. You mentioned yourself the number of hours. Are we comparing it to the total number of hours fo

There are two things to note here. One is that had they not been as radical as they are they would probably have ended up like a lot of regimes that one day were allied with the west and then toppled the next, with a dysfunctional state and

I'm a generalist and I've had a bunch of DevOps jobs where I had to come in to fix what the complete mess the kubernetes devops specialist left behind. I think the question is more who a generalist markets to. Some people have mul

You can say no it's not what happened happened all you want. But here's the announcement from the libav side[1]. It was definitely not a friendly fork. There was clearly a dispute and the Niedermayer side won[2], which led to the

You mean like Linus or countless others did with Linux eh and a bunch of other world class open source projects? This is the lie people like you keep purporting in those VC money firehoses that have no grounds in the real world.

I mean it kinda depends on who you consider the abrasive guy. In my experience just like with linux a lot of the ffmpeg/mplayer folks were abrasive. Sometimes it bothers me sometimes is doesn't. Michael Niedermayer was the maintai

I don't like the guy, and I absolutely don't agree with most of what him and his administration did. But the one thing that they got right(which every person outside of the collective west seems to understand) is that only a compl

What you're describing is basically why Kissinger et al lobbied to kick out Taiwan from the UN, lobbied to shut down Taiwan's nuclear weapons program at the UN and worked so hard to intertwine US and Chinese economies. It's a

Most EU countries do not have LNG terminals FYI it's not something that magically appears by itself. Germany has already slowed down approvals for other construction projects due to construction supply-chain issues.

It's the same reason why Jira is so popular. CIOs recommend it to each other, because nobody wants to admit they made a mistake and that it wasn't as easy to integrate in the end after all. It's like getting a nose surgery an

Putin has had many speeches addressed at both the US and the European public denouncing precisely this behaviour by European and western politicians. The very fact that you somehow manage to spin it in the opposite direction puts you more i

Industry doesn't freeze as needed. It freezes indefinitely. Once something is out of business it's out of business and will either be outsourced or bought up by bigger fish. When industry dies the social safety net dies, it will h

It's interesting to see that South Korea has such strong nuclear research facilities. Taiwan lost a lot of nuclear researchers in the past decades. Some of it due to US lobby work and some of it due to stupid governmental policies in t

Every single Apple patch to GitHub projects is done by the same single indistinguishable user account. This isn't just "some long-running fork". It is Apple culture to actively prohibit contributions to open source projects u

I guess people have forgotten, that Webkit came out of KHTML from the KDE team and that Apple was a nightmare when it came to contributing code back. They just released a huge dump of the whole thing.

I used gentoo prefix for a long time and it was a much much better citizen than homebrew(which isn't hard TBH). But gentoo has a terrible way of engaging the community. I tried to contribute but it was just cumbersome. So in the end ba

It's actually a similar price in Germany. There are higher paying jobs in Berlin, but in general it's not unusual to have this price in Europe. France and Spain is even lower.

Had absolutely no problem with it in the UK, US, or Taiwan. Most places you can just pay in advance to make up for lack of credit history. In Germany it makes you suspicious. So no, it's not everywhere. Given how many expats there are

Part of me wishes that they enable it earlier, but the other part of me thinks Apple will lobby for 2 years to rally MEPs against it.
