Re: From the heavens above
I remember going to a burger joint few days after seeing "Supersize me" with my wife and daughter.
We were eating outside (cold but sunny day in February), and the girl noticed a very round sparrow moving between the tables and eating bits of fries.
She stopped going to McDo & the like that day (she was 10).

Re: Oh, always on, individualised, global, localtion tracking.
No, no, Apple said it would track your location without using location tracking data...
So, I suppose every Apple customer in EU will get an Apple employee following him/her 24/7.
It will solve any unemployment issue everywhere in the world, we may even have to import Aliens...

Staff say Dell's return to office mandate is a stealth layoff, especially for women
The list of Dell sites is available of course
"But Mr Dabbs, the list have been available in the local planning office for the last nine months.”
“Oh yes, well as soon as I heard I went straight round to see them, yesterday afternoon. You hadn’t exactly gone out of your way to call attention to them, had you? I mean, like actually telling anybody or anything.”
“But the list was on display …”
“On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find it.”
“That’s the display department.”
“With a flashlight.”
“Ah, well the lights had probably gone.”
“So had the stairs.”
“But look, you found the list didn’t you?”
“Yes,” said Alistair, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard’.”

FBI: Give us warrantless Section 702 snooping powers – or China wins
Remember...
... that vacuum cleaning is called "hoovering" not because of the brand, but because of the FBI HQ name...
And that the best argument the FBI forgot to mention is that if they are not allowed to hoover everything at their leisure is that then they'll have to buy the data from GAFAM and other companies, and that the money will have to be diverted from what was intended to be spent on Medicare/Medicaid/infrastructure/bridges ...

Re: "Trust us. We're with the government, and we're here to help."
"bad guys"
You mean the 3-letter agency that engineered the intrusion to be able to "legally" come to the contractor office (let us say Microsoft, although it may be better labelled as a cyber-criminal organization), and get access to all the data of foreign companies because buying it from data-brokers becomes too expensive?

Re: Oops!
It is impossible to assume every stupid thing possible, idiots are so inventive...
I had one time made a rigorous list of all possible error one could encounter with data provided by users.
The list of errors had been validated by the product owner an his team, they had added some specific use cases I was not aware of (they had been running a similar system for years, the new version was a full rewrite with new display systems).
The data was to be provided on CD-ROM by an external company.
With the first delivery of test data, we got one CD with no file, only the catalog...

Re: Right
When I was younger, all the chinaware came from China, where huge manufactures were setup to provide goods for the European market.
Then some German and French guys stole the fabrication secrets, and we got Porcelaine de Limoges on one side, Meißner Porzellan on the other side.
Chinese have long memories...
