Mandatum

You should have launched with integration. This is a waste of a launch.

Glassdoor removed all of my reviews after submitting a negative view about 1 company. Previous reviews had been mostly positive or just neutral with provable facts.

Having seen their internal Blind, social Slack channels and culture vs. the Glassdoor reviews, and then submitting my review which really "went against the grain" of Glassdoor, it was clear there was something going on. I just didn't care enough to find out.

As these systems age, I think they're all missing one feature - "what are ratings or reviews from the past 6 months".

Reddit is a content network. TikTok is similar but the mechanism for discovery and selection is vastly catered towards casual users.

Instagram, Facebook and Twitter all remain social. For business it’s a content network, but for most users it’s still social.

> Indonesia... having to pay cash in the airport in order to be allowed to leave the country?

They've had card payments since before 2019.

ATL, SFO, JFK are just as bad - just less claustrophobic.

Yeah but US airports are ridiculous. There’s nowhere in the world with worse processing.

I’d take Indonesia and Heathrow during a lockdown over LAX on the quietest day of the year.

It’s certainly been profitable for the founders who’ve been selling millions of dollars in stock every few weeks for the past year.

That’s fine until SEO scrapers eat your site and regurgitate the content somewhere else.

Once it’s online, it’s online.

Post the hash online?

You check the hash of the audio into the chain.

I believe at a certain depth some things compress, density increases, buoyancy becomes negative - and they sink.

Why on earth would you want to commoditize your platform?

As someone who shifted all their domains to Google Domains at the cost of margin.. I guess I'm shifting back to PorkBun or NameCheap.

You can edit on this one too. Overwriting with the same length (which Shreddit did) doesn't really help with how storage architecture works these days.

Legislation relating to data leaks and software security are quickly killing all of our outsourcing contracts. We have some operational stuff still happening, but actual development and access to production systems is no longer an issue.

Now, some consultancies get around this by flying over Indian people who stay for the maximum amount of time their visa will allow them, living out of a hotel - but it's clear the quality of work these people are doing is so hit or miss, as often they staff the wrong people, with the wrong competencies, we basically tell them to fuck off on arrival and have to have arguments with our contacts on the ground here.

Overall, our dependency on India, and any other country that doesn't have similar laws in place regarding data breaches, privacy or liability is quickly becoming too risky.

Let's face it, if you earn $15-25K USD a year and you're given prod access to a retail database for a Fortune 500, finance, retail, customer-facing, tech services or platform company - you can turn your access into 10 years of salary in less than a week. There are recruiters for this on LinkedIn now, actively reaching out to people with offers for ransomware, data extortion or business-email-compromise profit-sharing arrangements.

And the risk is real.

That’s typically why it’s a good idea to include a crappy “generate API” key button so you can block traffic like this, you don’t even need a registration process - someone can just email with reference to their API key to discuss their issues.

The display on these are bleeding edge. It’s an order of magnitude more dense, and as such draws more power.

Heat and weight from the battery directly just exacerbates the problem.

LPT: Use a Syrian VPN and Google won't advertise to you in any of their products (due to sanctions). Only use this for read-only content (YouTube, Search et al).

Fuck you,

The Commonwealth.

I guess Micky is getting his pound of flesh in Commonwealth countries later this year.

Having used it pretty heavily in a containerized desktop environment, I wouldn't use it in production for anything business critical. It's a mix of "there's too much unknown" under the hood, and "there's weird things that I can't reproduce". It hadn't really reached critical mass as of yet, so support from the community is lackluster.

I'd sooner pay a bucket for something like Tines to offload critical mechanisms, and then do the dirt-cheap stuff on n8n.

We're only just starting to see Arc mature, and their line is looking incredibly impressive given their success with optimizing Cyberpunk.

On the CPU front though, it seems they're continuing to lag. I suspect they may have over-invested into GPU's when mining was booming, and the risk isn't paying off.

They'll be back, but I don't see them being a major competitor for many more years outside of commodity and Enterprise business. Which, as a company, is a great place to be. But I really don't care.

Weird to see a news article pop up here after seeing it in Murdoch-run press and TV. It's usually the other way around but this time it was more than 24 hours.

Wow. n8n in production.

Bold.

Like GraphQL, we just moved the integration and interface design complexity to the clients.

Just publish your fucking read-only SQL credentials at this point.

We’re still a long, long, long way from AGI.

Releases like this are more about stock price and investment than anything else.

I’m glad we’ve put more investment into this area as ultimately AGI will be able to uplift a large sector of the population that historically went underserved, or at least level the playing field.

But statements like this are meaningless wank.

They'll move from state schools to private schools, because highly respected, well-performing teachers will be looking to work with other highly respected, well-performing teachers and well-regarded schools. This was already the case, but it will just result in further privatization.
