Heck, I’ve heard the argument “We’re in retail [or insert other fittig market segments here] and Amazon is a direct competitor. Why the heck should we give them any money or any data*?” several times from several companies.

(*Where data not necessarily only meant giving them “company data” but e.g. also metadata about usage, etc. which cannot be avoided and which might give Amazon some insights)

That’s why they use, what they know: Excel. I wonder if the UI was done in PowerPoint?

Imagine sexting smelling like fish…

 assert triangleObject.shouldFitInHole(triangleHole) == true

assert triangleObject.shouldFitInHole(squareHole) == false

Randomly rearranging non working code one doesn’t understand… sometimes gets working code, sometimes doesn’t fix the bug, sometimes it won’t even compile anymore? Has no clue what the problem is and only solves it randomly by accident?

Sounds like the LLM is as capable as me /s

It’s the other way round: Education makes for less gullible people and for workers that demand more rights more freely and easily - and then those are coming for their yachts…

In the end it’s about money. If one had to pay for environmentally damages (e.g. a new tax on $energyUnit, $resourceUnit,…) and you’d not only pay for the resources + some markup for the producing company and just external externalize the “worth” of the damages (read: the taxpayer,…), then it’s cheaper to use these services instead of humans.

It’s encrypted anonymous communication capabilities.

Unless you enable it for every single chat (and IIRC only available for chats with only two persons, not group chats) there’s no encryption. Or did they change that? The only encryption that applies to most chats on that platform should be transport encryption via TLS.

Maybe sprinkle a few layers of qemu VMs on top?

I’m somewhat disappointed that the definition of recursion isn’t “Recursion: see recursion”

Its a coin emoji, but its one of those emoji that get rendered wildly different depending on which device (and software version) you’re viewing it on

I did that once with another company. The result was that I got an abuse complaint from them and my domain got on a spam blacklist for a while.

Since then, for such mails it’s only abuse reports and sinkhole their domain if possible.

I bet you could use them to cheaply run all that fiber to your potential customers

You missed the non-toxic glue

This reminds me of that work from home employee that just “outsourced” his own job to China from a few years ago…

Well, VDSL and VDSL2 use 138kHz to 12MHz and then 30-35.5MHz (according to the german Wikipedia - I couldn’t find that table in the English article.)

Powerline has several standards (same as above, couldn’t find that table in the English Wikipedia), but the frequency range starts at 2-4MHz and ends at 20-30MHz (with one standard using 30-68MHz).

For DSL, there’s not really a problem using these frequencies but powerline transmits at a higher power and intentionally uses cross talk as a feature. The byproduct is that now your power cables act as an antenna and the Powerline signal “leaks”.

Medium Frequency radio stations e.g. use the band from about 520kHz to 1.6MHz which correlates with Powerline and can be affected by it. Edit: Medium Frequency transmissions in general (300kHz - 3MHz) and High Frequency transmissions (3MHz - 30MHz) can be affected, but radio stations shouldn’t (~530kHz - 1.6MHz).

And yes, if you’re transmitting “strong enough” over Powerline (depending on your adapter and how well your cables act as an antenna) one could recieve your signal and decode it. IIRC the signal is encrypted (somewhat like WiFi - the adapters need to be paired to talk to each other), but I don’t know much details about it.
