While I agree that there are many people still doing weird stuff/things for non-commercial reasons they are being hosted within bigger and often closed eco-systems that are much more commercially minded. That's not always a bad th

It's a chance for the tech type to act as mercenary and just as immoral.

Amen, the obsession with putting LEDs on everything is infuriating - especially standby LEDs. This is compounded with the newer super bright LEDs. I've got a Asus chromebook that lights up a dark room every couple of seconds when it&#x

Yeah, for such a globally known brand that is so widely available and used £150m seems like quite a small sales figure. Of course as a company with such humble beginnings and simple structure it's a great figure.

Fair point but I believe the article refers to URI's rather than URL's so they're still technically correct. Edit - I've just had a look and URI covers the lot so my bad

I have ended up getting involved in Amazon bits from time to time as from a client's point of view it's all e-commerce. They are an absolute nightmare to deal with. Everything is opaque, everything takes however long they want and

Never mind people who struggle to get a job in IT because of a previous criminal record. Those people may also have been in prison and made connections while inside.

> If Amazon manages to replace all their warehouse staff with robots, then the benefits go to the Amazon shareholders. Which is OK, because the shareholders funded the creation of the robots. I pretty much agree, but Amazon do a lot of p

I wonder how much of this is premediated vs people getting addicted to credit or having a drop in income and naturally reaching their limit before going bust? The white paper suggests it's "primarily a first-party fraud scheme&quo

Does surprise me to be honest, of course the CCP no doubt does exert power over companies that want to work in China and this can influence behaviour outside the country too. But surprised to see this so blatant and really quite clumsily to

Seems fair enough - just like you can't take your rental car racing because it causes more risk + wear on components than day to day driving. These guys are wise to ban this activity if it causes more wear on their SSD drives and attra

That's the bit that gets me confused, with cryptocurrencies there is a clear link between the computer processing and the 'thing' you're representing (i.e crypto hashes). With say a digital vaccination passport the &#x27

I thought web 2.0 was more about communication flow, i.e rather than a bunch of people publishing a website for others to consume we have more of a two way communication (i.e social media). There was a bunch of tech that enabled it and came

It's a bit of a time limited joke and not a business. If it was done as a business and ad heavy it wouldn't be shared so much. Seems to me the best monetisation he could do is selling himself. Even a couple hours work off the back

Looks like https://deno.com/deploy will be a managed service - the implication seems to be that the default option will be to use their CDN to run code with an option to DIY if you prefer.

Considering > about 32.6 million of the 80 million numbers starting with 020 had already been assigned It seems a bit odd that they're putting the 14 digit numbers on the same 020 prefix that half the 11 digit numbers have already
