They’re trying to get rid of expensive people. It just happens to be that expensive = experience = old. After all, why hire one senior developer in Washington when you can hire ten junior developers in Warsaw?

Isn’t remote work great?

That’s implied in the use of men as a descriptor.

The issue with Linux is going to be if there will be a single distro that dominates or if it will be more distributed. Right now, it looks like Google and Valve are the closest to making dominant distros, but I can see at least one EU government one being created as well. If there are few distros, then I can see development getting locked to those distros rather than across all Linux.

The same thing happened with Android, Google ended up controlling Android so the open source side got hollowed out and the closed source side controlled by Google became necessary to running Android.

Or Oracle will start stealth hiring in other countries like Poland and India to use that staff as their junior devs in a more sink or swim environment.

There is usually some guidance, although the regulations are usually written with more wiggle room than structural standards because of varying site conditions.

However, the hill causing an increase to the speed of the car and that the area has a known pedestrian draw to it would tip the scales more towards installing a stop sign.

There can still be value in some old things like maintaining old equipment or preserving old media. The demand may have collapsed, but it didn’t collapse to zero.

If it weren’t for the bubble, we’d already be in a recession.

I’m taking about default behavior. 20+ years ago, the default phone call was pushing a piece of technology against an ear an next to your mouth. That hasn’t been the default for a while.

Probably how children were raised to speak to people over the phone.

Until the iPhone, I can’t think of too many personal phones that could put the call on speaker. So, if families with kids called other family, it was usually a form of one on one calls where people handed the phone off between each other. Nowadays, the default option is to put the call on speaker so everyone can hear everyone else. That set an expectation to where calls are on speaker unless there is a need for privacy.

“In these two wars, security cameras are being hacked as a way to gain intelligence”

Fixed the headline.

Yeah. These quotes from Londoners before compulsory education show how bad it was:

I think it is the future, but the future is much slower getting here than people think and will likely be more bespoke than dumping the entire written contents of the English language into a computer.

Some juices aren’t sweet enough on their own, cranberries being a major example. For those juices, some sweetener is added.

If the consumer doesn’t care, it is high fructose corn syrup because it is cheap. If consumers do care, they will claim it is 100% juice and use apple juice as the sweetener since apple juice is relatively cheap and neutral tasting.

This is typical for international sporting events.

Fight scrapers, provide more targeted advertising, use this as a beginning to get people to make an account.

Google doesn’t have an incentive to keep this information open without an account but several incentives to put it behind an account wall.

Yeah. They likely equate LLM with all AI and a company with software which is more than just a chat bot gets lumped in with everyone else.

Working in an industry that sometimes requires photos to be taken for documentation purposes, cameras that are cameras alone have been abandoned for years. The camera on a phone or tablet is considered good enough, with the most attention recently given to wearable cameras or drones.

Innovation happened, but not within the existing camera form.

Having used phones 15 years ago, it wasn’t. There may be some cases where a phone could live on longer, but two years was generally a decent cadence to buy a new phone.

Once you get to the 5-10 year mark, cameras on phones were generally good enough for most users.

By the time that phones were good enough not to upgrade every two years, cameras in phones were good enough for most consumers.

I’m not taking it as you being hateful against me personally, I’m just being realistic given the market compared to your wants.

Phone manufacturers have come up with ways to handle depth of field which involve more than one camera, which invalidates a phone with an amazing sensor attached to a lens. The market isn’t going to provide the device you want.
