> So you are saying they shouldn't have given those 30k people a job to begin with? I don't know if that's any better.
For the long term health of the company it's near a certainty that would have been better. The effects of adding ~20K then laying off 30K in such a relatively small period of time are gonna be felt for years
Yeah, I understand where you are coming from. I'm just also thinking about the human side that is discussed here so often and having a more pessimistic view on hiring might be bad for the job market. Especially in countries that are not considered a social state. So while it's not good for the company itself it might not be so bad for people overall if those billionaire companies are wasting some of their money - at least until investors start to complain.
People tend to be bad in estimating the performance of others and are almost always bad in estimating their own performance. So you end up with people asking themself why it wasn't them and if they will be next. And management can't tell you you are safe, because it might change - and if they promise they can only do that once.
Managers do know. Some of them are better at it than others. But even for the best it never is easy. And they are still humans, don't go to harsh on them with your blame.
Also the companies selling the ad platforms aren’t knowing their own technical documentation. They tell everyone you need to load JS as heavy and blocking as possible and collect as much user data as possible because they can’t read their damn documentation. That’s also why news pages always say ad only works with massive tracking, which isn’t true and not even that effective.
The fetch API is designed for browsers. It's not designed for servers. Fetch may work for a particular use case on the server, it may not. Servers have needs over and above what a browser allows the client to do.
Now I'm curious, because we have a big server side code base using fetch(). What are you using that doesn't work with fetch? Especially since axios nowadays has a fetch adapter.
That's more for age verification and prove of identity, especially in the real world. It's weird that the wikipedia page is talking about drivers license, because I have the Austrian app and I use it with my normal ID card.
To access government service we have something different. Here in Austria it's called ID Austria and you sign with an app when you try to access government services, but also others like health insurance etc.
If it say "punch me in the face" then you have bigger problems. And after you got recorded showing what it says to you they might be growing. Tell them what you think but don't forget "Pretty, I feel pretty, ..." - just in case.
Your thinly veiled threat of using the glasses to record and then publish interactions to harass people is exactly why lots of people have issues with these glasses...
That title is so weird. I thought there are camera that are watching groups of birds. I know the company name is what it is but even more so it would be important to make the title clear. Not the whole world can keep up with all silly things happening in the US and now that flock surveillance can be anything but birds.
It's not only about pressure, but also telling all the people whose data can be read AKA the public.
And still it's also about the pressure. I was found a pretty bad injections/XSS in an online banking website. Told them, got no response. After waiting blogged about it (without specifying what he actual issue is). Then someone contacted me and said I need to take down the wrong information. Send back a PoC and only then they started fixing it. In the meanwhile every customer could have gotten emails stealing their login data.
