Nissan proposed to make a street lamp with a used car battery module in the base, so each lamp can hold 10 kWh distributed neatly all around the city

Something that no one will use.

Idea: let’s force all WhatsApp and Instagram users to use it by putting unwanted buttons in the UI

If you don’t pay, you don’t see the results.

The test is free, but not seeing the results.

It’s very infuriating, especially from this website, because it’s a 40 questions test which require some thought. You can easily waste 30-40 minutes before getting asked your email for getting the result “on a safe link”, for additional verification. Then you click the link via email (confirming that your email is valid and you can receive spam) and you get those fake loading bars that take like 2 minutes

✔️ Loading results
✔️ Reading all your responses
✔️ Elaborating your score
✔️ Comparing your score with other people
✔️ Generating your certificate
✔️ Fetching your certificate

And only then, when your patience is almost gone, and your expectations are at the top, they ask for a symbolic payment to “maintain their service”. What to do? Rage quit after having wasted one hour on this scam or pay the $2?

Orban put so many of his cronies everywhere, it will take years if not decades to restore the country

Which fines, this is just an internal rule in an organization.

At most can be rightfully banned from contributing

It someone is contributing with code that doesn’t really understand, then shouldn’t contribute

I’m sorry to report that in order to see the results, you basically fail the IQ test:

It’s a very dark pattern, they ask the $2 only after 40 minutes of questions and after getting your email for spam. Then they show that classic fake loading and fake elaborating screens. At that point you’re exhausted and just pay

For me the unthinkable is giving my hard earned money to a multi billion dollar corporation

To any staffer doing illegal stuff on this empty promise: he didn’t say he’ll do it for free, remember to put away some cash to purchase one when needed

My conspiracy theory: those signing keys are very “tasty” maybe Microsoft was aware that some state-sponsored attacker got hold on them and blacklisted for everyone’s safety.

Imagine what would happen if NSA or that other Israeli spy company could sign fake veracrypt or Wireshark binaries

It’s ok because the binance CEO guy purchased a pardon in helping Iran laundering their BTC

Worry about their seat and not about the war crimes

just the default encoder. I tried it only once and when I saw the FPS I gave up almost immediately

I doubt that it’s doing real time transcoding in av1, probably just sending the file “as-is” to your client device and you’re noticing as modern networks allow real time streaming of files with that size

My server with much newer components does like 5 fps in encoding av1

Alexa, play Despacito

Israel has an exemption, they are allowed to do all the war crimes they want

i realized that the problem with an hosts file is the the system will completely bypass the dns server and directly contact the address. There is the need of something that enforces an IP address blocklist at the router level like opnsense

Right, it won’t ask the DNS server to resolve it, the solution requires a much more expensive blocking on firewall

Difference between Open Source and “open” source

This is “open” source and it was the main reason it got forked (lots of proprietary bits included as binary, impossible to send a PR, obfuscated code)

It’s “open” exclusively for marketing “our product is better because it’s open source” and mostly because in this way they can use GPL 3 code for libraries without paying for a different license

Fuck them

Probably making sure that the sweet telemetry reaches their server after the URL got included in some blocklist. Solves nothing as who included the URL, now will include the IP address.

In Italy if you get fired (not if you quit voluntarily) it’s mandatory by law to get 75% of salary for 104 weeks (but from the six month it will get reduced by a 3% monthly) plus the severance package is at least 6.9% of the yearly gross salary multiplied by the number of years worked there.

On top of that, most union contracts (97% of workers in the country) increase that amount of money that the company has to pay.

Finally, it’s a bureaucratic mess. You can’t just fire employees with an email sent Friday afternoon and expect to get the offices empty on Monday. In order to fire more than 5 employees over 120 days the company has to get agreement with unions (money incentive to resign; early retirement; higher and/or longer severance pay) and if it’s doesn’t get an agreement within 45 days it will need to get an agreement with the government (another 30 days) where need to pay at least a 5850 euro tax for each fired employee. So from the cuts announcement, workers have at least 2 months of full pay and full work.

The only way to fire employees “American style”, “from today you’re unemployed” in Italy it’s bankruptcy (chapter 7) but proceeds from the liquidation Will be used to pay
