the Israeli military’s usage of Microsoft’s Azure cloud technology and artificial intelligence products
Genuine question, but doesn't this just mean that Israel paid for a Microsoft Azure subscription and used it to host web services? Like, anyone can do that. What am I missing here, exactly?
They say Microsoft have "deepened" their relationship, but how did they do that, exactly?
Yeah. What company wouldn’t allow it?
My IT department uninstalled it from my work laptop, and told me not to reinstall it because - and I quote: "The only browser IT officially supports is Google Chrome."
What makes this doubly stupid is that I'm a web developer. I literally can't test my stuff on another browser...
No one outside of China has their data stored there, though. Every tech company that complies with China hosts the data in China and usually makes the Chinese version of their software work differently as a result. The Chinese government isn't able to just see everyone else's data.
Someone else in this thread mentioned that going to about:config and typing telemetry will apparently show that some things are still set to true despite unchecking the settings in the Privacy section.
Note: I'm not the guy you originally replied to, and I haven't personally tested this. Just pointing out where you can allegedly find those settings if you're interested. (I personally don't care and think this whole thing is overblown by the community, for what it's worth)
The UK government's obsession with being a Big Brother is so damn frustrating. A preview of what other governments will try and become in the near future, unfortunately.
Not daily, but their canvas feature has a feature that lets you embed previews of your files into the flow charts you make. It's pretty nice, since you can have shorter files entirely visible with everything else. Makes it pretty good for software development and project management, in my experience.
Careful not to go overboard with it, though. I feel like a lot of people fall down the "productivity pipeline" when using it, where they end up procrastinating by trying to optimize every little thing and end up doing nothing at all.
Any good web crawler has limits.
Yeah. Like, literally just:
What kind of lazy-ass crawler doesn't even do that?
Honestly, it's just because most native UI libraries suck to use compared to HTML/CSS/JS. For all the hate modern web stacks get, it's brain-dead simple to get something good-looking in it.
Then there's the business aspect of "Well, if the people who make our web UI can also make our app UI, why not?"
Honestly, I don't even believe it's inefficient. There's plenty of documented/recorded evidence of child labor around the world. Sometimes, all you really need is a pair of hands, and kids are physically capable of doing it. Countries with shitty labor laws are ripe with child labor abuse.
That's not what his video showed though. They don't change the URL, they open another tab, which then overrides the cookie/session variable that is used to determine who the referrer is. It's still scummy, but it doesn't seem to be swapping links outright.
This gist of it from the WAN show was this:
"Researchers scrape thousands of hours of news footage from their TVs!" is about as big a deal, honestly.
