The 1st year graduate cares, you'll figure it out when your job is terminated

"... they announced the addition of this feature in 2009..."
Yeah, a year later.

Other "highly requested" features added after the iPhone was introduced? MMS LOL

Steve Jobs instructed internal development to not support text messaging, since everyone uses email. Fortunately, he was saved from that particular humiliation. It's really a miracle that Apple succeeded at anything considering Jobs's incompetence and sociopathy.

And don't forget about 3rd party apps, which Apple explained couldn't be allowed on a phone because of security issues that could expose the cellular network. That took two years, though. Funny how everyone else could allow 3rd party apps...because cellular functions are firewalled in hardware and those risks do not exist.

Fortunately, Apple provided "web apps" that looked like native apps, allegedly, and we all know how good Apple's web browser was at the time since they would not support Flash.

The school administrators, unlike the people who actually make the schools work, such as it is, tend to be paid pretty well.

I get so tired of hearing the school systems stress technology so much, because they are inevitably 20-30 years behind in their understanding of how to best utilize it, leave alone secure their systems. I always fantasized about teaching a computer class that didn't even touch a keyboard for the first half year...

I recall Windows 3.51 was quite secure for the time. But once they merged the DOS branch of the OS with the NT branch, things got a lot worse for several years.

It's good to hear AWS has never been hacked because just about every other company with data has been. A lot of people rely on AWS, and what you are saying is accurate and if they are running their systems correctly, there can be a reasonable expectation that they will be secure. That's nice to know.

> What I learned is that teachers have literally no time for anything.

The school system in the U.S. is notorious for this. Teachers get so much stuff dumped on them, much of which has little to do with actual teaching. It's a truly thankless job that cannot be fixed by dumping more money into the system. It's fundamentally broken. There are plenty of good teachers, but their effectiveness becomes more and more fettered every year.

In my experience the two worst things to combine are "education system" and "technology".

If the script kiddies are hacking your system, you've got bigger problems.

Is "script kiddies" still a thing?

I'm so old.

No, because experience isn't a protected category. Age is, but only in certain cases mostly dealing with existing employees. Youth isn't protected at all:

https://www.eeoc.gov/age-discr...

"The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) forbids age discrimination against people who are age 40 or older. It does not protect workers under the age of 40, although some states have laws that protect younger workers from age discrimination. It is not illegal for an employer or other covered entity to favor an older worker over a younger one, even if both workers are age 40 or older."

Sometimes it's not even for cost cutting.

E.g. I mean yeah, I get it; you're in marketing/"creative", so your converted-into-an office house in a bad neighborhood downtown is very cool and hip. Yet for some reason, some of your employees just still don't want to go there physically every day.

... despite a full court press to get everyone back in the office physically, they've managed ... a little over half?

"Sohni told me he thinks vibe coding is not going anywhere..."

A claim with multiple meanings, all true.

Fraud is one of the world's oldest professions.

Should governments be able to regulate those awful tech bros however they want to, or should we have the ability to choose digital privacy if we want?

The Slash-geist seems to lurch dramatically between the two ...

So the energy that we all - including you - used during those years would have come from ... what instead? Unicorn farts and moonbeams?

If only we had had a Gazprom instead of the companies that we did have?

"What we've noticed with e-bikes is that the speed in which people are coming off is much higher and as a result, the injuries are much worse."

I not only don't believe this, I believe this is an intentional lie. I doubt there is the slightest evidence of "much worse" injuries correlated to e-bike use compared to bikes. I doubt this kind of data is even collected. Nick is a liar.

'Nick explains that he is a cyclist himself, and it's something he encourages people to do for the benefit of their health.'

Not a surprise, attacks against e-bikes always come from the cycling community. This is just propaganda.

The protests are against basically everyone in parliament. There is no successor in office that they would accept as legitimate
