love me some Averages abuse.
Switzerland almost double rest of Europe, 🤔 I wonder if skewed by bank software development.
US vs most of western Europe, uhm not much surprise.
Israel, well if watching linus tech tips anything to go by, I had no clue how much Intel and other fab manufactures have setup in Israel, so average skewing might be a factor.
I don't understand Normal Distribution, but doesn't mean it not helpful sometimes.

So, yet another Software thing I'm below average in.

Exactly that's the point.
Long ago, 1 Deutsche Mark and 1 Swiss Franc had about equal buying power in their respective countries. But you had to pay more than 1 Deutsche Mark for 1 Swiss Franc. Later, the Euro was introduced at 2 Deutsche Mark for 1 Euro. Currently, 1 Swiss Franc costs about 1 Euro...
Looking thru other countries mentioned in the list, Argentina could be great value, while Japan is sh*t for sure.

Social media conglomerate Meta has created a single AI model capable of translating across 200 different languages, including many not supported by current commercial tools. "My hovercraft is full of eels"

An NPM supply-chain attack dating back to December 2021 used dozens of malicious NPM modules containing obfuscated Javascript code to compromise hundreds of downstream desktop apps and websites. I thought we were supposed to be having supply-chain shortages?

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

DoD puts money behind bug bounty program after reward-free pilot In tomorrow's news - US government goes bankrupt
Or at least the DoD
|
|
|
|
|
So now the US government can go after bug reporters by claiming that they attempted to break in to the DoD's systems for money?

the catch. Pentagon rewards are taxed at 100%.
I'm told there are no bugs, only Security oversight features initially built in so hackers can provide full transparency.

max 5,000$ for 7 days, or pre existing exploits that anyone might know.
That is very low ball, and wont will only be attracting things people might be able to get the $500 for.
well cheaper then spending 500,000$ for a months worth for pen test company.

I was once asked by a friend of mine back in the 1990's why there were so many programming languages. Because the new one will solve* all** of the problems of the old ones
* Not even close
** A few? One or two?

How many doctorates in Computer Science have been given out? I bet there are at LEAST that many languages.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

The Institute of Artificial Intelligence at Hefei Comprehensive National Science Center created an AI program that can allegedly analyze brain waves and facial expressions to gauge whether a person is loyal to the Chinese Communist Party. So, what number am I thinking of?

And I've written an AI program that identifies income tax cheats. It outputs "cheat!" for any input...

Read the article - the CCP is either trying to scare the Chinese people into compliance or they have created a system to ensure they stay in power, at all costs. Anyone who thinks the CCP is benign is what Lenin referred to as a "useful idiot."
And yes, this post may be seen as political, but the article definitely dove into politics.
