PCB layout guy "just got unlucky and picked the wrong technical career, which got utterly wiped out 30 years after he started"?

Unlucky? Tell that to bitcoin/blockchain bros whose "skills" devalued within 2 years, now that the bubble burst.
I think that's pretty lucky to be active in the same field for 30 years probably has transferable skills and having made good money.

"The EU does it too, but under the guise of regulations like the dubious DMA. I'd say the EU has made their bed and they need to lie in it"

The only ones that would consider the DSA "dubious" are probably Apple's loyalists and lobbyists. And I think the EU can live without "Apple Intelligence, iPhone Mirroring and SharePlay Screen Sharing".

Nope. From TFA:

"To create the counterfeits, the Chinese suppliers often took older, lower-model products, some of which were previously discarded, and modified them to appear new, while loading pirated Cisco software on the hardware."

"new intelligences"? "think"? You're kidding right. These are multi-billion dollar commercial companies, running fancy Markov chain algorithms. And you're basically styling those as people and opposing regulation that exists to protect the interests of actual people.

That Okta hack led state affiliate hackers to breach CloudFlare: https://www.bleepingcomputer.c...
That anyone still uses either Okta or Cloudflare is purely for short term cost reasons. Maybe it's time to look at https://european-alternatives.... where the GDPR makes companies strongly protect personal data.

"It would almost be believable that the keys to them have been lost, if it wasn't for the fact those same keys have been used to digitally sign posts Satoshi has made in the very recent past."

Not really. There's only 1 key known to belong to Satoshi Nakamoto and it's not been used to sign anything recently. https://www.vice.com/en/articl... "There is only one PGP key that is truly known to be associated with Satoshi Nakamoto. (...) It's currently hosted on bitcoin.org, and it was there even in 2009"

Kind of spam to be honest. The service you linked requires access to a Google account to use. No way to ensure it doesn't harvest data from its users to train its model or invisibly stamps generated images with the Google ID.

Now do less whataboutism.

He didn't just "throw one executive under the bus".
First of all she's not just one executive but his direct manager and the VP of Developer Relations at Google. He also calls both her and Pichai out.
Good feedback should make specific propositions about specific exemplars. The alternative is to make generalities that are hard to falsify.

The Flutter team losing someone like Hixie is a big loss to everyone. It is very much possible Tim also left Flutter because of her.
It appears that management has zero accountability within the org structure, so sub-optimal signals like these must do.

Seems reasonable to me to focus on the head of the division since she has ultimate authority over it. Any incompetent people below her in the org structure are also her responsibility. If theyâ(TM)re so bad, why didnâ(TM)t she realize that and remove them?

Her resume reveals she is a person who has never had a coding job & spent her early career quite far from the people who write code. Why would you would put someone like that in charge of google-dev relations in the first place?

We've all been in some rooms we didnâ(TM)t really deserve to be in. Doesn't mean she should stay there.

So this is the next best thing. Good feedback should make specific propositions about specific exemplars. The alternative is to make generalities that are hard to falsify.

Her resume reveals she is a person who has never had a coding job & spent her early career quite far from the people who write code. I can't for the life of me figure out why you would put someone like that in charge of google-dev relations.

Why? His former manager's Twitter username (@femtechie) says it all.
Highly likely a diversity hire who indeed according to her resume never had a coding job & spent her early career far from the people who write code. Why would would put someone like that in charge of google-dev relations.

If it's as extremely rare as you say, then what's the problem with banning sex change surgery and irreversible medical procedures until adulthood again?

Simple question: Source?

Found the libertarian / miner. If the seller is clearly indicating this is a card with LHR limitation, no miner can complain. Caveat emptor, libertarian.

The washing machine vendor imposing such a restriction would not have a 'dominant position' (e.g. a duopoly with Google Play) and would have to be extremely clearly marked in all promotional materials: "Warning: only accepts detergent from brand Y".
