Get an entry level position in one of the companies in that industry, make friends in the company, show them your interest in the industry, earn their trust to put you on some project that gives you the experience in the industry.

With all due respect, what do you think decentralized personal information is ?

I don't think that really is a thing except for a copy of some data that exists in some centralized (SQL) database(s).

Absolutely not. The world runs on excel spreadsheets stored in databases.

Yeah you can't really run it on-site so you just debug in the open.

I'm an EU citizen and I have been to US and Canada once in 2019, for business trip visiting a company that does business with the company I work for. The trip was without issues.

I wouldn't go US again, it's nothing like in the movies.

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

afaik github is microsoft and openai is a partner of microsoft so probably not

I suppose you can completely skip dummy sites when phishing for passkeys since the user doesn't know the password and therefore you don't need him to enter said password anywhere (which is why you needed a dummy site in the first place).

Yeah I also have a phone without a headphone jack, I just bought a pair of usb-c wired headphones today for that reason.

Bluetooth was a mistake.

I don't use bluetooth much and I have no idea what the technical details are, but surely an attacker can find a way to either guess or determine what bluetooth devices your phone is paired to and then pretend to be that device. (like a keyboard)

Also according to my experience there is no "permission for bluetooth", it all falls under "Phone" or whatever other permission on Android.

I buy software on Steam, I don't buy it elsewhere and won't start buying it elsewhere just because of firefox.

> as far as I know Steam purchases also have fees like 30%

perhaps firefox could ditch google and get picked up by Valve? (in terms of funding/ownership)

Don't get me wrong, I did not mean to disagree with the article, it was an interesting read.

By physically leaving the house I was slightly hinting at the occurence where some of the buildings were not expected to be used for home working (or "being in use" during working hours) and therefore the construction and standards couldn't have considered that this might be a problem. (the rest of the time is covered by laws mandating no noise during night).

I feel extremely priviledged to appear to not be bothered by noise, although that's who I have always been - just as the people who are bothered by it.

Often times writing an e-mail in silence can be objectively less important for the society than someone building or maintaining a house. Other times people do make unnecessary noise or they make it at a time where it's expectably inconvenient to others around them - see germans not recycling glass at certain times of the week or not running a washing machine during late hours.

All in all it's a complex problem of society vs individual (vs another individual)

I opened it, the content started loading and you lost my interest and attention, tab closed.

If mozilla was a paid software on steam I would buy it for a one time payment up to $20. I would like to avoid giving my payment details to the browser directly as I see it as a risk of some malware misusing them to take my money.

After a few years (like 4) I would probably consider buying "Mozilla 2" for another one time payment up to $20 if the mozilla I bought becomes "end of life".

I would never buy "mozilla" from a microsoft store or android/apple appstore. I would not give a cent or continue using mozilla if ublock origin becomes not supported. Any kind of forced ads or restriction on adblocking will make me forget mozilla ever was a thing.

I don't mean to be insensitive or offensive but this has always seemed like an XY problem to me.

There are certain activities that humanity needs to do that need to produce noise, that's just how it is (e.g. building houses). We as a society have acknowledged this and that's why we have laws that restrict the activities to certain hours (e.g. 6:00 to 22:00 in my country.

I also can hear the noises and they are also not pleasant to me, but I have learned to deal with it mentally or physically (leave while the noise is being made until it's illegal to make it).

I see it as an XY problem because it seems that the people who mind the noise think that they can make it go away by "muting" or "ignoring" the noise instead of accepting that the noise is inevitable and learning to deal with it.

From the headline I thought this was going to be about night watch the book[0] (I have only seen the movies)

Hey I'll take that over the back button not doing anything any day.

If you need the money now, get the job. If you don't need the money right now, get the university one.

edit: Keep in mind that changing the company you work for every few years will get you a better salary in the end so don't get too comfortable at your first job.

They are getting worn out from old age just like humans do.

probably a reference to Scout or something

Peer pressure

I expected handwaving instead of answers to my questions and that's what I got.

Well that I understand, but how is the AI involved ? You don't use AI to travel to remote areas or to record voice.

I'm happy to see that only one of those animations work in the browser I used.

People really believe that companies are firing because AI will replace them ?

People who think AI is magic sadly don't care.

How do you know it's not barnum-forer effect ?

I have never heard of that, can you elaborate ?

I figure if that guy exists he's swimming in his money vault full of coins instead of reading things online.

It was the same then as it is now. Chatbot providers had bots to sell, now autocomplete providers have autocomplete to sell. Marketing people just say what they get paid to say.
