Most people overestimate the prevalence of malice, und underestimate the prevalence of incompetence

What do you make of this? The guy who was in charge of restoring the system was found dead

My guess would be that either he felt it was such a monumental cockup that he had to off himself or his bosses thought it was such a monumental cockup that they had to off him.

He's being a salesman, he wants to convince enterprises they need Box AI

"Everyone" as in financial companies and governments

Nothing aspires to be Apple. They're all about design. I can't see them getting invested in a nerdy philosophical cause like this

It's called pooled hiring, and it makes sense when a company is hiring lots of people for lots of teams. Most large companies do this when hiring rates are high. You end up with better employee-team match when you interview a candidate first and then match them based on their skills/interest, rather than contacting them for a specific role they may or may not be interested in.

Has nothing to do with whether hiring is for headcount or other reasons

My library has one, but it's only open for 1 hour a week, which is a shame because most 3d prints take longer than that

Those machines will be obsolete before they have been used the equivalent of 2 days.

> Tiktok is actively suppressing the stories.

Is there any evidence of this? FWIW, I saw plenty of tiktoks talking about the China hack

Yeah i shared with relatives by taking a screenshot of a tiktok to show them the news

It's completely irrelevant whether they have done it or not. The only thing that matters is the fact that they can do it.

We're not going let you have nukes just because you haven't nuked anybody yet.

Also the idea that a country that has built the most extensive digital surveillance apparatus in the world will somehow avoid the temptation to use TikTok to monitor people abroad..

It's beyond naive.

I agree the evidence is weak, and circumstantial, but it is not true that there none. Quick overview of some of it (which includes critique of it):

San Francisco seems to be missing from the cities list

Yeah, I live in SF but it defaulted to Los Angeles for me. Same Time Zone, of course.

Probably only includes the standard time zone list?

I'm most impressed by the domain name. How much does time.fyi cost you?

I saw dictionary word on non main tld for something like $125 somewhere and would bet somewhere there.
