For many of our google searches, the first results tend to be wikipedia, instagram, etc... We click on those clicks and both google and the clicked website get a share of our traffic. So it is somewhat fair.
But in current AI situation, wikipedia, nytimes, stackoverflow etc are getting a pretty unfair deal. Probably all major text based outlets are seeing a drop in their numbers now...
I think there should be some serious changes about this. Github already knows which software packages a company uses. They could facilitate this. For example if the OSS maintainer asks for it, any company more than say three members should pay a monthly fee per package. Even 1 USD per package per month would make a huge difference for OSS. So if your javascript package.json has 20 dependencies, and you are actively developing, every month you should expect to pay 20USDfor that package.json.
I know the math above can be challenged from multiple aspects. But we need to start from somewhere.
There are many digital marketing executives who are banned to advertise on Facebook. FB decides they did something wrong once, and now they cannot advertise anymore. So effectively they cannot find a job in digital advertising because Meta wants you to use your personal account for advertising even when you are working for a company.
This needs to stop. Maybe this could be moved under the scope of "EU Digital Markets Act" with some effort.
I hope github would start allowing all users to use ip whitelisting features. I understand it is a sell point for enterprise accounts, but tokens/passwords are not secure enough in today's environment.
Pre-internet, MD's main job was to use their memory to comb through an immense level of knowledge and find the best fitting explanation for a patient's complaints. A pretty hard task, mostly suitable for very smart people.
Now with internet, it is a process waiting to be disrupted. I would say it is already over due.
Today I experienced just the opposite. Chatgpt answered some business questions in less than a minute. I would have spent 30 mins in seo optimized sites to find the exact same info.
Before deleting your account it would be good measure to update passwords to passwords you don't really use. You never know if deleted data is deleted from db as well.
"FTX periodically uses a portion of its profits to buy back FTT tokens. This makes FTT kind of like stock in FTX: The higher FTX’s profits are, the higher the price of FTT will be."
I think this is an interesting alternative to equity vesting. Not all countries have laws that make equity vesting possible. Also this could work if you are a US company and hiring from all abroad. You can give tokens to your employers abroad, keep the token valuable as long as the company is profitable. What do you think?
Could someone provide link(s) on how regular snapshots of databases can be taken like this? (Googling didn't help much, maybe I'm googling for the wrong keywords.) For me, backing up the database is a few-hour-long process. Restoring it for a developer again is a few hours process. I read about snapshots before but haven't realized they could be this effective.
Not all applications can store data out of the box. For instance some ways of PHP have embedded caches, some others don't have cache by default and you would need to install cache software (for instance apcu).
Also, redis has many different types of data. For instance coding something similar to its "hash" data type is not trivial.
