Aha! Now I fully understand IBM corporate structure
Manager = Master
Worker = Slave
All makes sense now.

I do this without tracking
If I were to run an ad on Facebook, I'd just send them to a landing page for that advert. No more complex than that. Different one for twitter. Different one for the daily mail.
It's like the Facebook, Vero and Instagram links on my site, they are just a image set as a link. No tracking at all and the user knows no difference.

‘Can COVID-19 vaccines connect me to the internet?’
Friday 9th April 2021 06:21 GMT
The logic of the conspiracy nuts baffles me.
They search the depths of Facebook to get their information, stopping only charge their phone every day, complaining about their slow broadband and lack of connectivity. Yet somehow a microscopic chip (apparently from a Guitar pedal) can talk to a satellite in space 24/7/365.

Re: "mobile number"

I guess you have never worked in Telecoms. More reliable yes...well until someone in a JCB
comes along.
As for the others? Oh you poor naive fool.

Re: Vulnerable by centralization
Charge for commits?
Well that's killed Open Source.
What you would end up with is high profit companies being the only driving force. Small scale, but essential projects would become unsupported and in themselves become bigger security holes than any thing like GitHub would ever be.
So no, it's a bad idea.

The silicon supply chain crunch is worrying. Now comes a critical concern: A coffee shortage
Thursday 25th March 2021 14:29 GMT
Is this the same as the...

Similar to the one in 2014? Nope? How about the 2017 one?
So roll your eyes and just remember its the stock market doing its usual bullshit while those at the bottom of the rung get no benefit at all from the inflated prices.

Shop around.
A colleague just had a quote.
Boots ~ £3000
Specsavers ~ £2000
Online - £600
And yes the online ones were the same model as on of the above.
Still an utter con.
Still I guess as it tends to be the older generations or those with special needs that need hearing aids, why not rip them off eh?
Boffins get first measurements of Jupiter's stratospheric storms that show 'unique beast' dwarfing Earth's issues
Monday 22nd March 2021 02:14 GMT
Genuine Question.
But how much can we rely on historical measurements (this goes for other things such a temperature as well). I'm sure their knowledge of how to take a measurement was good, but what about the actual equipment? What about things such as local temperatures say affecting the telescope itself?

Have they ****s be paid?
I mean all the final servants in charge of these things?
I mean we read "because of covid" so many times.
Is that
A) because they are all getting covid and are off ill for 52 weeks?
B) They have all died.
C) They are incompetent and unable to work without being micro managed in the office
D) They are a bunch of lazy buggers, sitting at home spending all day arrange books for the weekly Zoom call
E) They have a vested interest in keeping the status quo.
Yes we know the answer.

Re: nuke them from orbit
I left, but still working...although that's to that thing that's going around, that's turned to shit as well.
But besides that, best move I made.
No more worrying if the phones going to ring. No more working over because it "has" to be sorted NOW! No more worrying about what next day will bring. No more irritating, lazy, "Dont you know who I am types" and on and on.
Do my job, go home forget it. If I want overtime I do it, if I don't, I don't.
OVH says burned data centre’s UPS, batteries, fuses in the hands of insurers and police
Wednesday 17th March 2021 12:18 GMT
Re: UPS in the data centre?
Just factor in, these ups are most likely the same size as a small house. Where I worked, the back up generators were the size of two containers. And there were three of them. That's because the house sized battery plants (two of them), could only support the servers and ac for about 20 mins.
