Why not use the Brazilian system? It's been working for a long time

Same thing in other industries.

Worked on big telecom billing back in the days. There was the average fish like me whose bills go to a normal flow when unpaid, and the big fish, like government, big companies, etc that not even have to pay their bills (for a time, of course).

Lots of bots. Also body-only-soul-less users (as I call those that never look at messages).

Inoreader.

Thus we don't need that much software engineers. Things should start to get cheaper (considering everything else the same).

Not only. Probably all ISPs around the world who provides their customers a modem with an embedded (or not) WiFi router do the same.

EDIT: also, if your ISP has a mobile app from which you can change any password on ISP provided devices, then most likely it goes around in plain text (inside TCP/TLS packets, at least).

A brick in the ladder to open source heaven.

Some unusual spike in reports related to Google systems in Downdetector Brazil.

As it has been said so many times, tech privacy aware people are the minority. It won't make any difference for my non-tech neighbor (in fact, he will probably be delighted if it helps him with something).

Teams have better voice/video. But chat is far worse, absolutely shit, though Slack seems to be working to get there.

Every year they demo lots of things I never see later.

Sort of related: "GSMA Open Gateway", specially the quality related APIs.

A dev myself, I see any new tech that looks like something I've seen before, but different from the immediately previous, as the natural young revolt against the old (5 years older), in an attempt to be important (i.e., e.g. being paid). Sometimes I'm younger than last year too, and I throw away a lot of what I learned. I should strive for wisdom: knowing what should come and what should go.

Impact should be measured as "features and their (monetary) value", not only "feature". Btw, I don't buy "long-term maintainability of the codebase". Ok, _I_ buy it, sometimes; my son doesn't.

This above may be sad regarding the art side of things, but, well, it is what it is.

I've found strange there's no "test" string in the post.

Well, I can only add founders and get 100/#(founders). It looks bugged.

Most of the confusion is because of the lost meaning of "love". In my mom's world, things should be liked, and people loved.

Tangent to this: do you remember the rumor a long time ago about GCP having a deadline to become "something" (I don't remember if 'relevant' or 'profitable' or else). Have it got to that "something"?

I've seen these answers:

  - excess hiring during the pandemic;
  - interest rates raised;
  - salaries too high;
  - cut in remote work (to ease return to office later);
  - some weird thing coming;
  - AI;

(I could replace all those semi-colons with question marks.)

(Edit: formatting)

The pattern in the footer of Open AI pages is very annoying, unintelligent.

After a fast search about the subject, what I understood is that the retracted paper had method problems. Some other place says that a meta-analysis (supposedly of papers with correct method/analysis) confirms similar findings, i.e. hearing loss management benefits for dementia.

What comes to my mind is this rhetorical question:

How a service with such a wonderful home page suddenly die?

Wasted hours of services/softwares with negative ROI in consumer telecom is scary.

It's interesting that people speak whatever comes to mind and think it has no impact on other's people lives ($$$). They are some how protected, but shouldn't.

Could you share your routine for fixing your posture?

In terms of new features, for me that's ok. However, the amount of bugs in their bugtracker goes up and up. Also, the CPU/memory usage of their tools is a shame.

For some OSS projects, Q&A has moved to its issues system. Some recommend to ask in SO, but the number of others that are ok with questions seems to be increasing.

ChatGPT 3.5 started giving me wrong or not so good answers. So I rarely use it these days.

Hetzner starting with https://github.com/kube-hetzner/terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzne..., plus registry using DigitalOcean.

An example of using "God" in vain.

As far as I know, they already do this (legally). They seem to be "just" standardizing for interoperability.
