Evolution

The pursuit of Next Quarter's Numbers have completely wrecked ALL our big names. GM, Ford, Boeing, etc etc etc.

I would argue that is backwards. I would argue that in fact things were going pretty well when profit was a primary goal.

Then companies started saying, profit is not as important as reducing our carbon emissions.

Then companies started saying, profit is not as important as "inclusivity".

Then companies started to say "we can't do any work without a lot of training that assumes all of our employees are monsters who will rape anyone at the drop of a hat".

Pretty soon companies were not caring about profits or quality at all, but only making sure they were offending no-one, inside or outside the company... and here we are today.

Maybe what needs to happen is a little more focus back on profit and hard facts like numbers.

It's hard to argue that employees doing unacceptable nonsense like this is not directly tied to inclusive hiring practices that require hiring people because of the color of their skin, rather than skill or even ethical background.

Redfall was so bad they probably should have converted anyone who worked on it into a janitor and made sure they never works on games again.

At some point, everyone who worked on it is responsible for the condition it arrives in.

What's not clear about GetIpForwardTable2() putting MIB_IPPROTO_NETMGMT into the source Protocol field of the MIB row, or NlroDHCP in the Origin field?

The VPN client doesn't need to capture any packets, it just needs to look for a dodgy routing table. In the threat case, the VPN client is already injecting a default route, so it must have access to the routing table already.

They were paid for a service that they did not deliver.

They delivered exactly the same service as any other carbon credit seller, the appearance of doing soemthing while doing absolutely nothing.

Because first world nations are spending their own money.

Excuse me? As a taxpayer I can very much assure you they are NOT spending "their own" money. They are spending the money of the citizens of those countries.

They spend either my tax money, OR by printing more money destroy the purchasing power of money I have. Either way they are spending my money.

Poor countries must demonstrate clearer accounting and transparency to back up their calls for trillions of dollars of climate finance,

Why, when no first world nation does the same?

At this point trillions of dollars have gone into climate related slush funds with much of it siphoned off to make some very rich people incredibly richer, with a tiny portion actually going to real efforts to help the environment.

Why shouldn't the third would be allowed to dine at the same trough? Sounds like a racist thing if I'm being honest.

Hopefully these servers are caching previous based on the target URL, not the story that embeds the link. Then the load scales only with the number of different URLs that point to the web server, not with how many posts reference the URLs.

If you're hosting something on a cloud service without a budget cap, that's a problem to be discussed between you and your wallet.

The rest of the world won't, because their own currencies are currently inflating more than the USD.

The U.S. is squarely in the middle of the list of world inflation (you can sort by tapping on column headers).

But the bigger problem is inflation ahead, which is illuminated quite well by the debt to GDP ratio map, where only a handful of countries are worse off... the interest payments for the U.S. debt are nearing exponential increase.

Got Gold?

You can trigger it against somebody else, you just won't be able to measure the bandwidth amplification factor if you do.

Speaking of which, 115 MB over 300 seconds is less than 400 KB/sec. If that is a significant burden on his server, at least one of three things is true: he's got way too many tiny assets in his web page design, he's running his web server on some tiny processor (like, microcontroller size), or he's using a terribly inefficient web server.

Difficulty breathing resulting in the need to intubate? That could be Covid.

The MRSA, on the other hand, he likely caught at the hospital, as a result of the intubation and a weakened immune system.

No reason it needs to be any more than that.

Non-sequitor

No, Non-seatbeltitor!

They'll mock it because this is absolutely terrible advice.

Bet you don't wear seatbelts or buy insurance either. What a waste of money!

Good luck!

Gold has an artificially inflated price

As per usual everything you say is exactly backwards of the truth - the value in relation to the USD of gold should be much higher by historical measurements, but the price of gold has been controlled for decades.

What is happening now is the rest of the world knows the real value of gold and governments, banks and people in many other countries are hovering up gold as the current massively discounted price.

The really fun point comes when governments realize they will never be able to pay off debts and the gold revaluation occurs (as the U.S. already did once in history, but you would;dn't know about that).

Gold is insurance against government financial malfeasance, I leave it as an exercise to the reader to what degree they feel like the government they live under is fiscally sound.
