An adversarial government having mass access to user data and social behavior information is worse because they can use it to compromise and recruit individuals to do real damage. …

We're talking about payment system code, not AI targeting for drones. Changes can be reverted, transactions can be stopped, payments can be made other ways.

The alarmist take is jumping to the conclusion that people will starve from efforts to improve the code behind this system. We can still print paper checks, probably with a simple …

If it's in COBOL you can probably count on one hand how many people have knowledge of the nuts and bolts of those systems and usually the new people talk to the old people.

People tend to forget that move fast and break things also includes move fast and fix things. No one will starve from this.

Having used a TP-Link ethernet over power device in the past, this is quite concerning. Most devices like this do not have an adequate replacement from domestic or allied manufactu…

Having spent some time on branding and with relevant firms, I have learned that branding and design can have a strong effect on the culture of a company. This leads me to think the…

Next will we find that there is an exchange of microbes between the brain and gut?

Couldn't one just program a linear word matching test to ensure correctness?

The ironic part is, it's humans leading the charge, with their heads buried deep in the sand to avoid thinking about how this decays society.

Who needs real comments any more? Make them look real and consensus is pushed not formed. This is why human engagement is at a all time low, it's mostly the bots that get the atten…

Thanks for the insight! I'm sure it costs Datadog a lot to continue to query connected accounts even after the user has cancelled the Datadog service. I reported to them, hopefully…

Checked all regions, no services on the AWS side. It seems maybe our old Datadog was still spamming the GetMetricData API by default after cancellation. No logs are collected but t…

Over a year ago I migrated one of my companies away from AWS and deleted all EC2 and Kubernetes instances. I recently noticed that regardless of these cancellations, AWS has consis…

A read through https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41480924 led me to this article. The whole idea of a magnetic field the size of a planet is mind blowing to me.
