Like most of my work's processes... Shit goes in, shit comes out...

NocturnalEngineer ,

And a rate limit

Execs don't give a shit. They simply double down on the false cause fallacy instead. They wouldn't ever admit they fucked up.

Last year the company I work for went through a run of redundancies, claiming AI and system improvements were the cause. Before this point we were growing (slowly) year on year. Just not growing fast enough for the shareholders.

They cut too deep, shit is falling apart, and we're loosing bids to competitors. Now they've doubled down on AI, claiming blindness to the systems issues they created, and just made an employee's "Can Do" attitude a performance goal.

You've clearly not worked in enterprise recently. Everything is about the Cloud, AI, and reducing Opex spending currently.

Unless some exec has a meltdown and demands them to revert the site

Didn't you hear? The future is the cloud!

Why host stuff locally when you can host it on someone else's computer, and have fun, exciting, and completely foreseeable failures like this...

The internet is now just AWS, Azure, GCP and Cloudflare.

I don't know... In America they're currently rolling back rights for women, inserted religion into supreme court decisions, and are seriously debating a second term of Trump.

None of that makes any fucking sense. If it requires elaborate mental hoops, they'll find it.

It's such a stupid name! Everytime it's mentioned, it has to be prepend or suffixed with something so people actually understand the "X" context.

And more importantly - If you visit x.com, it redirects to twitter.com! So what's the fucking point of the rebrand?

NocturnalEngineer ,

I'm legitimately interested in getting the bank account & sort code details of Elon, Bezos, Arnault, Zuckerberg, Gates, Ballmer, Buffet, Ellison, Page, and Brin.

NocturnalEngineer ,

Soon restaurants will become stock exchanges, with people waiting on the price of chicken nuggets to drop.

NocturnalEngineer ,

Don't worry, they'll have AI animated stick figures telling them what to do instead...

Darknet Drug Dealers Arrested After Packages of Meth-Laced Adderall Repeatedly Returned to Sender (www.404media.co)

Police arrested three men accused of selling thousands of pills of meth-laced “Adderall” on various darknet marketplaces and mailing them through the United States Postal Service through a fictitious business called “Professional Paper Filing Inc.” that listed a real return address of an uninvolved business. That...

NocturnalEngineer ,

Surely the USPS would then just open the package, to try and identify who the sender was instead?

NocturnalEngineer ,

It's as though they took "The Handmaid's Tale" as a blueprint.

If it was a human agent, surely they would still liable?

They're an agent of the company. They're acting on behalf of the company, in accordance to their policy and procedures. It then becomes a training issue if they were providing incorrect information?

NocturnalEngineer ,

Honestly surprised Sable was able to get settlements from Cisco, Fortinet, Check Point, SonicWall, and Juniper Networks. They're not small names in the industry.

It was only Cloudflare's legal strategy which managed to invalidate the patents.

NocturnalEngineer ,

Why is a private entity able to use facial recognition software in the first place. I know doesn't have the equivilant of GDPR, but surely it has some level of privacy laws?

Why did the police think that was sufficient evidence to jail someone, especially when there wasn't any further collaborating evidence.

NocturnalEngineer ,

Other Businesses. They love the subscription models.

NocturnalEngineer ,

Personally I'm noticing the opposite.

I tend to do a lot of technical-related searches. I'm finding I'm getting consistently better results from DuckDuckGo / Bing -- what I'm looking for is usually available on the first page without having to faff around.

With Google however, it was drawing parallels to what I'm looking for but not what I explicitly queried. I had to either enable verbose search, or manipulate the search to look for specific words. Even then what I was looking for was in the 3-4 page.
