The tarrifs and sanctions are largely around getting a better trade deal with India and hurting China. The shadow fleet they've done almost nothing against. They've done more against Venezuela than the Russian shadow fleet. They provided some weaponry to the Ukrainian armed forced but a lot of the time through trade deals with Europe. Frankly it hasn't been impressive at all, if the US had wanted to seripusly impact Russia trade and potentially end the war, it could have done this a long time ago.

The main problem I see when reading CVs from women is they don't lie anywhere near as much as the guys do.

The guys on the whole lie more and make stuff up or embellish the details, net result is that they get more interviews.

So a result like this really would not shock me at all, and it doesn't mean the guys must be better they just tend to get more interviews (it's a numbers game).

Re: Sounds good

Are you suggesting the Trump administration would enforce hiring based upon merit? I've certainly not seen or heard of any evidence of that. In fact mostly he seems to have enforced cronyism, RFK has hardly been appointed based on merit.

Re: UK government need to start fining

They've mostly been fixed, which is why other ISPs are using it. But if you are virgin, why spend even one pound when you have spare address space. It would just help virgin's position to do absolutely nothing, the cost then sits with the competition who do not have said addresses spare.

Regulation is there to make companies do thing they don't want to do to improve the situation for everyone. If the regulation had been set in 2018 for a 2030 full IPv6 support then they would have had time to slowly and cheaply introduce it as equipment is replaced.

Re: 2.17%

With all the major browsers either ending support for Windows 7 this year, or having ended. It would need to be as a stand alone machine, without Internet, maybe a bit of typing and printing etc...

Re: Well, ...

Let's be honest a vast amount of America had no idea what they were voting for. They read their social media feed which told them the evil left were plotting. They read that prices would fall day one. They read that the economy would explode and women wouldn't have to work anymore and could go back to the kitchen. They read that nice white boy would have a job rather than the more educated 'other'.

Once the election was over of course, it all turned out to be rubbish. American science is lagging China, economy is dipping, the evil woke plot only seems to be happing in the is media and it turns out nowhere else on the planet.

Americans need to except what they voted for.

Re: Bsky

Well so far on bluesky I've not seen regular posts from user accounts saying, exactly what they thought should happen to non-whites, women and lgbtq people. From that prospective it does feel very different.

Exactly the same affair with gold, if America dumps in the price crashes and lots of angry people. There is a moral here, stop buying fairy dust.

Re: Get it Effin' Done

Maybe but then again maybe you are the only customer of a custom tape drive and, the company doesn't want to repair them 20 years after they went end of life.

Re: Security?

As we all know, every workload in the cloud is 100% secure and completely impenetrable, and nothing needs to be proven as the vendor has iso 27001 compliance and a soc2.

Re: Hurrah

The numbers don't lie,

Completely agree the conversations from the mid and large caps all seem to be around accelerating their migration plans, rather than if they are moving away from vmware.

Re: Weathermarket

Of course they can, in fact they already are doing it, and once several finace houses are doing the at scale the benefits of it will be gone and we will just go back to looking at the fundamentals.

Re: So what?

They advised the companies not to go on a platform full of crazy conspiracy theorists, run by a guy who supports crazy conspiracies.

Re: The solution being a read-only USB device

Good luck at running infrastructure for 10k users without some form of central AAA. Your point stands but you need something otherwise users could be required to have hundreds of different passwords to various data sources. Most of the issue seems to be excessive privileges, especially around access to data and network resources.
