Hackers are conducting a massive black hat search engine optimization (SEO) campaign by compromising almost 15,000 websites to redirect visitors to fake Q&A discussion forums. I'm thinking there are easier ways to boost your SEO?
WordPress. Why am I not surprised?

GitHub is experimenting with a new way to let programmers create code with their voice inside Copilot. Because 'copy and paste' is too danged difficult.

I'm lucky I don't use it otherwise I'd be banned for life due to the loud swearing, blasphemy and threats of physical harm to every component of the chain, from the hardware to the OS, the compiler, the Internet connection and the website.

CISPE says Microsoft has shown no progress addressing anti-competitive practices. Have they tried turning it off and back on again?
|

CISPE should be called Crybaby Internet Service Providers of Europe. Basically, Europe's regulatory structure is so harsh that very little innovation comes out of Europe, which always puts European companies at a disadvantage to the US and China.

Everuthing that's not explicitly allowed it's implicitly forbidden. Such is Europe way, and my country was like that since the very beginning.

Yep. It drives people nuts that not only is the US the opposite (everything not explicitly forbidden is allowed), this concept is embedded in our Constitution in Amendment 10 - if it's not expressly granted the Federal Government, it's reserved to the States and People.

|

And it has learned well after nearly 250 years how to get around that amendment through regulatory agencies and other means, aided by the occasionally compliant Supreme Court.

Today, Mark Zuckerberg announced that Meta will be firing more than 11,000 employees, which is about 13% of its total strength. I guess now it's more, "About-faceBook"?
Sorry for the employees and their families, but my heart wouldn't break if the company went bye-bye.

Maybe someone with an active (and not blocked) twitter account could suggest Musk to buy Meta once he is done with twitter?

One thing that I was actually impressed with was (in an article I read yesterday somewhere) that people are getting 16 weeks paid + 2 weeks for each year they worked there, and 6 months of continued health care coverage. Not sure how that works for non-US employees, but if true, that at least struck me as an honorable way of letting people go.

In contrast, Musk's mass firing complies with the US WARN act (60 days) and California's equivalent (90 days) by providing a 90 day vacation with full pay and benefits to all the laid off employees while at the same time preventing them from sabotaging Twitter's systems. The lockout is to prevent violations of both US and California computer crime Laws.
I wonder if Zuckerburg considered sabotage of FB's systems when allowing these employees continued access to FB's systems.

He did. The article said all their accounts were restricted to only email access before they let the unfortunate employees know about it.

I'm betting they have to sign an NDA and an agreement not to badmouth Meta in any public forum to get and continue to receive that severance package.

Musk is Dave and Twitter is HAL.
All jokes aside, I really wonder how this fragility occurs. Bit are bits. What in the world is so complicated about Twitter than it can't be a reliable process? How is code written where this fragility is effectively engineered into the system?
