“Spam” as a neologism doesn’t have a widely agreed upon shared definition. The most apt would seem to be “email I don’t want”. But that’s not too helpful when third party gatekeepers are trying to mass assign status to an email. The same email could be unwanted by one person and very gratefully received by the next.

All mental models fail to represent the real world completely. That’s kind of a fundamental feature of them.

Trump didn’t seem to disagree with the premise just the funding. His argument is that the US shouldn’t be funding it. His strategy is to put tariffs on chip imports and foreign chip manufacturers would have to build US based plants on their own dime.

Don’t tell every SaaS company ever. (Who I doubt all have robust legal processes for including logos on their homepages)

Consent isn’t required for B2B data processing and cold contact as far as I know, like it is for consumer data. There are six lawful basis including consent. The most relevant one in this case is probably legitimate interest. A company can cold contact someone at an organisation if they believe there is a genuine possibility they would buy the product or service they offer. IANAL however.

PS What’s CYA?

Also take note the the UK government is very interested in setting up several new Freeports.

I suspect management job descriptions are based on the output of the team to be managed rather than the requirements of being a good manager.

Safari also completely ignores autocomplete="off" when it thinks something is a username or password field. Even when, as a dev, I know it definitely isn't.

Yes. I thought changing the field to type="search" may avoid it but alas no.

Exactly, and isn't it likely to be used equally as a post login phrase? Which is how I discovered this "bug" in the first place!

In my opinion Safari is way too aggressive with filling usernames and passwords. Anything in any way similarly named like these it forces an autofill. And of course it overrides autocomplete="off". We definitely need an attribute that implies, "I actually know what I'm doing Safari! Please really don't autofill this."

These people buying power stations aren't rich?

One of the issues with crypto currency is that we're replacing one elite with another.

As John Oliver says Cryptocurrency is everything you don't understand about finance combined with everything you don't understand about computers. That new, even eliter, elite is probably no more moral or ethical than the old.

It's not like cryptocurrency is more accessible. Maybe it will become so but I still have to fork out a lot of money to buy Bitcoin. It's just the fees get paid to different people.

Not entirely sure how it's better. It is different though, I'll give you that.

These Assist systems need to be the car assisting the driver. Not the driver assisting the car.

Yeah I have a friend who essentially got fired for the same thing. His crime? Putting some icons he designed for the company on his personal portfolio website. They never used the icons FYI.

Also, they already have the advantage of real estate. They know that they can add a charging network cheaply in their gas stations than a new player in town building one.

Then why buy up charging networks? Why not just develop their own? Genuine question.

It's not like traditional newspapers/outlets are good for people. Not necessarily the algorithms fault.

So we should take advice to get a lawyer from a forum, but not take advice not to get a lawyer from a forum?

This is literally the plot to the Emperors New Clothes

That’s the kind of pain you’re in for when you’re overly reliant on a single channel.

How would anyone become President?! /joke

Not all projects are concerned with speed and cost. Our in-house CRM has a total of 4 users and is probably used for about a total of 2 hours per working day. Server less is a pretty good fit.

Don't the Tesla have forward facing radar?

Touché. Or should I say toupee?

Maybe we both have loose morals but I don't see it as cheating the employer anymore than one "cheats" an employer by driving to work instead of walking.

It doesn't help that the word passion has become distorted from it's original meaning, originally more to do with suffering.

It's more helpful to ask one's self: "What am I willing to suffer for?" rather than: "What am I passionate about?" where passion today seems to mean what would I prefer to do rather than work.

I just hope the crime was underage drinking. Drinking age is 18 in Australia FYI.

"In my opinion—which is informed by my own anecdotal experience—Cisco belongs on the same shelf as Oracle when it comes to businesses that exhibit a profit-above-all-else mindset. From my point of view as an enterprise customer, Cisco consistently came across as unswervingly committed to maximum revenue extraction at every single point in its relationship with a customer. The company’s per-feature licensing was (and remains) so expensive and so complex that the whole product portfolio seemed designed around creatively separating customers from their capital first and actual network/SAN administration a distant second."

Agreed. As someone who has worked at clients of Oracle they don't come across as a technology company, they are basically a sales company with a technology department.

It's not personally identifiable data, so probably not.
