Comment Farhad's never written production code before.. (Score 1) 224

.. and probably hasn't used ChatGPT much either. The thought of anyone trusting their business's code base at the moment to this unapologetically bullshitting breed of AI, is terrifying if I'm linked to that business or hilarious if they're a competitor.

They should go back to writing articles about something they know about, like urging men to wear makeup again.

Comment Stacking a billion layers into a refrigerator, (Score 1) 107

Say it's 1.5 metres tall, so you need to manufacture 1000 layers into 1.5mm. 1.5 micron layers, and a billion of them, all competing with each other for the same ambient humidity source. And then even if it works, the theoretical best case is it generates a measely kiloWatt

Fuck off Yao and Xiaomeng Liu, you might have the sense not to enter the healthcare market and rip off billionaries unlike Elizabeth Holmes, but you're both just as full of shit as she is!

....if websites registered to their countries are redirected to Porn sites by Freenom?

Even if Freenom knows to leave legit websites in those nations alone, not biting the hand that feeds them (I wonder what would happen if they redirected .gov.tk, .gov.ca, .gov.cf, .gov.ma or .gov.gq?), even if that is the case, that implies at the very least, that someone in a government of those countries is well aware of what Freenom is doing. i.e. they're in cahoots.

Comment Re:Prison where she identifies as honest? (Score 3, Insightful) 107

When the company's highly decorated highly qualified chief scientist kills themselves, after trying to raise the issue about the tests so inaccaurate they're not fit for purpose, that's not a great look is it?

They should throw away the goddamned key. Holmes knew full well what she was doing.

Comment Re:Why are computer experts so stupid with compute (Score 1) 130

It's completely reasonable for the rest of the world to expect someone with the skills of "SophosLabs Principal Researcher Andrew Brandt" to setup an SFTP server.

Users who include the password right there in plain text, indicate there was never any intention to preserve, so can have no expectation of privacy. It's just obfuscation, a crude unreliable means of deactivating the malware, with the clear intention of working around the cloud provider's security scanners.

Comment Originally Apache licensed. (Score 3, Informative) 23

I love to hate on Amazon, but when I first heard of the original dispute and "strip mining open source" I assumed it was over a GPL clause. Au contraire. This is all nothing but sour grapes from Elastic.

As long as Amazon didn't and do not instigate patent litigation (and other clauses), they were and are within their rights of the Apache license.

Comment Job applicants willingly gave them their data? (Score 2) 24

Google makes it clear on applying you grant them all sorts of permissions to check up on you and ask people who know you there (it freaked me out and I bailed). There are other people at Google at least that privacy very very seriously.

Is such an opt out of GDPR grounds to retain your data?

Comment Has the EU got the stomach for crashed rockets? (Score 5, Interesting) 123

I'm far from an Elon Musk fan boy, but to give him his dues, despite coming close to the brink, he stuck by Space X's development of reusable and landable rockets, through countless rapid unscheduled deconstructions. And continnues to do so, to develop Starship

I don't think any state bureaucrat has the balls to push any experimental rocket development program through to fruition, let alone any EU bureaucrat. One malfunction, and Branson pulled the plug on Virgin Orbit.
