No, you are wrong, Hugging Face, an AI company whose whole future depends on the AI revolution of being a bubble, that has a whole bunch of investors whose financial interests are …

Yep. Seen it in action. If we store credit card information we need to be PCI compliant. Let’s outsource that then. All stored personal information needs to be PCI compliant.

I think the problem is that the algorithms are based on statistical probabilities from other users. I.e users who listen to X also like to listen to Y. So we’ll add Y to the queue.…

And just to prove my point this is now on page 3.

The sad thing is people who should know better will still find excuses to keep using Chrome. And people with ulterior motives will help amplify their excuses.

Well damn. I loved these books as a kid but it was only your comment that made me realise that Lowly worms name was a pun. 40+ years of ignorance.

Did you actually read the article linked? There was no mention of margins. I question the motives of your comment. It reads like big tech bootlicking.

There have only been a few Pixar movies I haven’t liked Cars 2, The Good Dinosaur and Finding Dory and not all of the others have had drawn an emotional response from me. That said…

I think more pressure needs to be put on the developers in these big tech enterprises. I think the problem is that it's cash and cachet, not fear and torture, that blind them to re…

AWS employs cost obfuscation by design otherwise the default view when you open the console would show you all of your current active services. Not only is that not the case, a sin…

Especially as macOS users are the most likely to complain about Firefox's performance. Well, maybe that IS why

Candidates should just be given a horrible, undocumented, broken piece of legacy code and asked to fix it. Select the person who comes up with the quickest solution. That's who you…

Actually StatusNet had a good solution for discoverability groups. An equivalent is an outstanding issue for ActtivityPub https://github.com/w3c/activitypub/issues/328
