Stories like these is what I now call 'Marketing slop'
And corporate scrapers never ever use proxy pools to rotate IPs to evade throttling and blacklisting. Meta is also scraping illegal content, such as pirated books. So I'm not sure what your argument is.
This is C-suite material.
Your resident propagandists like Solovyov, Dugin and Medvedev are very explicit about invading former warsaw pact countries when they're not threatening Europe with nukes.
> Previous wars with Russia were obnoxious with very bad consequences
They didn't teach you about the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact in your russian school? Of course not, it doesn't fit the great patriotic war narrative. It's about that time when your country's leadership was friendly with the nazis and decided to split eastern europe between themselves.
Look, a picture of stalin shaking hands with a nazi: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/38/Bundesar...
There's going to be a next round? Have russians lost all sense of what's embarrassing? Is one ass-kicking with 500k fatalities and an economy held together by nabiullina duct tape not enough? I guess russia just needs to collapse every 100 years..
Been working for more than 20 years in corporations and I've seen the same.
What a horribly reductive and downright insulting view of Eastern European politics.
> independent and united Europe, with Russia a part of it
Is this some sort of joke? The biggest enemy of Civilized Europe was, is and always will be a Russian state with imperial ambitions. Read a damn history book.
So now it's a war? It's no longer a special military operation by law? Bro, you should watch yourself, you can go to prison for using the wrong terminology.
It seems Dingleberries failed to elect a new pope. Again.
RIP.
This is not happening in a vacuum. A lot of index funds and retirement accounts have bought into AI and AI adjacent companies, many with stakes in OpenAI. If OpenAI keels over, even when private, it will affect a lot of americans. If they IPO, it's even worse.
You must be new here. No, that's not how this work. If you are able to produce the same amount of work by midday Monday we expect you to increase the amount of output in the current system by 14 x. And the owners pocket the financial gain from this productivity delta and you should be happy you even have a job.
Define 'aware'. The volume of code for a feature/system to make it worth using a more complex workflow such as this one, is definitely larger than what a human can even briefly review and build a mental model about the inner workings within a reasonable amount of time. Reasonable meaning not considerable delaying the process. When deadlines loom and management adds pressure, this 'awareness' is the first thing that goes out the window.
I've been using TurboTax for about 20 years now and I am not happy. I hate it with a passion, it has more dark patterns than even LinkedIn and with my basic W-2 tax return with HDHP I managed to hit all their 'know issues' 4 years in a row. They of course offered me to upgrade several times during the 'work flow' to make up for it.
I loathe the existence of Intuit and I still have some hope that a future administration will kill it by having the IRS implement a basic digital product for federal tax filing for the 90% of people who use the standard deduction. Intuit should not exist in its current form in any civilized country, it is a form of cancer which only exists because our politicians are a bunch of greedy fucks.
It's been a while since I visited any google pages and I'm shocked how insipid and soulless their UX still is.
I would argue for the generality of this characterization
I'm not surprised, considering they were expensive. That doesn't mean they weren't popular in the west.
