You can scrap Logan Roy and Don Draper as “Professional” is not a word that should be used in connection with either.

They need $12k funding in the next four days.

The article says nothing about genai and uses a paywalled article as its source. A second source is an article written by the author.

Not sure what barrow this is peddling, other than repeating the absurd notion that software engineers are paid too much whilst the Australian Computer Society promotes articles stating that they should be paid at 1995 pay rates.

As an ICT professional with over 40 years experience, all I see is poorly informed HR teams hiring the very cheapest graduates they can find and believing that Assumed Intelligence will make it all better after they decimated their experienced staff.

No wonder we have escalating data breaches and security nightmares, not to mention unstable consumer electronics and a growing list of terrifying trends in vehicle software implementations with absolutely no global mechanisms for regulation or certification.

Edit: spelling

In my opinion, a more interesting question:

What does “wet” actually mean?

Hand it to them personally at the end of their set. It gives you the opportunity to thank them in person and explain the value of your “tip”.

If you compare it to tap water, it is absurdity expensive.

If it’s fitted with Auto Start-Stop, does that make it a Maverick?

So when is this happening, so we can mentally and logistically prepare for the next influx of new users into the fediverse?

Halle Berry?

14,000 sounds like a big number, until you realise that there’s many millions of routers. Asus is not known for backbone routing, so while this might be happening, you have to ask yourself, is this the biggest threat across the internet, or is this article intended to serve another interest?

Not to my recollection. I mainly hung out on the comp.* and alt.best.of.internet groups. Together with another member we wrote the original aboi FAQ.

Edit:

Here’s something I wrote about it on another platform:

I’ve been looking for my first Usenet post in 1990, found a few close to the first, but not (yet) the first.

I would not be surprised if there are older posts predating the internet, stored on the Hobby Computer Club FIDO mirrors … assuming that they are still in existence.

While the topic is important, the absurd number of em-dashes in that article leads me to discard it out of hand as Assumed Intelligence slop … which is unfortunate since the premise is interesting.

And how will Instagram know who my parents are?

Regardless of how or why it failed, the constitution and the society it represented, failed to secure the continued existence of the country.

A constitution is not the only way to form a country and the two examples you gave both ended up with a despot in charge.

Yes.

However, the country that OP is discussing ceased to exist and thus its founding documents are pretty much irrelevant.

I am attempting to point out that a document that you’re holding up as an ideal, together with what it represents and how society surrounding it was structured did not last for more than 55 years, which is less time than I’ve been on this planet.

While it might represent something that you find appealing or inspiring, it didn’t last, or said differently, it failed.

I’d also point out that countries like Australia don’t have a constitution at all and they’ve lasted longer than that.

I think that you need to find a better argument to promote a worker based economy. Perhaps the co-op based system in Italy, which has lasted longer, is a more sustainable way to go.

You fail to understand that the USSR ceased to exist. What remains is run by a despot, regardless of your feelings or intent.

… and both countries are run by despots.
