I am not defending the current situation but I am not aware of any case where anyone in the UK has gone to jail for piracy. Invariably what actually happens in such cases is:

1. See headline 'movie pirate goes to prison' which implies a link between the activity and the event 2. Actually read article based on industry press release and learn that the defendant was actually convicted for counterfeiting because they were running a business selling set-top boxes with preinstalled unauthorised streaming software or running their own third party unauthorised streaming service with paid subscriptions or something.

One benefit: People are no longer trying to pretend that Meta is some beneficent orgainsation

By this logic you should factor that android was an acquisition, as were YouTube, doubleclick, deepmind and Waze

LONDON, April 21 (Reuters) - Microsoft must face a mass lawsuit alleging it overcharged thousands of British businesses to use Windows Server software on cloud computing services provided by Amazon, Google and Alibaba, a London tribunal ruled on Tuesday.

Can someone translate this from marketing puff into something meaningful? All I'm seeing is

'lambdas should map to micro services'

'please use more managed services'

Appears that our author was present whilst either he gave a talk with no questions or a tame interviewer asked Werner soft questions with no follow-ups. Absolutely no pushback or challenge to anything he's reported as saying. Nothing along the lines of 'I keep reading AWS customers describing the quality of support and support staff declining over the last year or so. This seems to correlate closely with AWS push to full time RTO. How do you respond to this data?'

Wearing American football style helmets does not reduce the risk of concussion which is primarily the result of sudden acceleration or deceleration causing the brain to move around inside the skull https://ideas.ted.com/football-helmets-dont-protect-against-... This is why they have 'soft' helmets in Rugby. American football likes the macho look of its helmets and body armour but for concussion it's essentially safety theatre.

So naturally AI will be in the office 5 days a week and not working remotely right? right?

This is an ignorant position. Look at e.g. https://engineering.marksandspencer.com/mobile/2024/09/05/re...

The man who hopes to become Sonos’ next permanent CEO talks about the app, the now-canceled video player, subscriptions, Google, and more.

Scheuer allegedly went into action quickly following his termination, and by early July was said to have used his work credentials, which still functioned after his termination, to access the menu creation system Disney contracted another company to create and change all the fonts in the system to wingdings symbols.

Client Caution Weighs on India's $280 Billion Tech Services Industry Infosys, TCS and Wipro report disappointing results as Trump tariffs and economic headwinds prompt corporate caution

Article appears to blame developers for not attracting VCs to crypto. Right... Because every other industry would blame the developers for not attracting VC's to their industry, right? Right? And of course VC's are where it's at...

I'm sure that we'll still be able to spot candidates doing the needful, and kindly reverting the same

I think the better/mature response to this cultural change is to design takehomes anticipating the use of AI and then seeing where the canddiate got lost in the weeds or gets lost when cross questoined about it

There were 30% layoffs at a company I worked at and one of the 'survivors' was so traumatised by it that they took their own life. It's a known phenomenon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivor_guilt

I had a Nokia n95 at the time. It also had superior hardware and a fully functional web browser. Yes the iPhone was attractive at the time but not initially a smartphone and certainly not the first

Apple did NOT create the smartphone. When the iPhone released in 2007 it was a feature phone- no app store and famously missing featured like copy and paste. Besides Palm who you have mentioned there was Symbian and Windows Mobile which each had third party after market apps available.

Ah ok thank you for clarifying

My take away from this article is that the super heavy element Rutherfordium can barely be agreed to even exist outside of a theoretical sense.

To me, the rules given to you are pure gatekeeping. The fact that even after they had given successively more restrictive rules for what should be a trivial program they then verbally restricted you further confirms this. I would question whether this was actually an interview for a real job or not but in any case it's not you it's them.

Powershell is more equivalent to Python than BASH TBH

I was wondering which cloud this was and from the screenshot, yep AWS S3. Especially these days you have to work hard to fail like this. I'm guessing this deployment had been rotting for years.

I'm concerned that Amazon is driving their best people away for a vanity metric that their customers don't care about- see 'The Dead Sea Effect'

I realise this topic has been covered repeatedly but considering it from another angle:

As an engineer employed by third party companies using AWS, this doesn't look good. I don't care if the support people are in an office. I do care if they're available and know what they're doing. There are other cloud providers available. For new entrants, what's Amazon's unique selling point?

It's not a drinking game. It's a schoolyard game generally played around this time of year by children and younger teenagers.

It's funny I worked with someone for a few months who was ex McKinsey. You could be describing him.

It would probably be possible as a third party extension. See Fakespot extension for instance.
