“Huge row erupts” […] “However, this is no surprise as we knew they had XY chromosomes already” is quite a 180, especially for such a short text. Also, is their body really our collective business?

I am surprised it’s called “America’s celebrated work ethic” - from my (Dutch) perspective, it’s notoriously terribly exploitative and bordering on dystopian for many. Is it true that people celebrate American work practices?!

Thank you kind person!

The article did mention them as “registered”, so I don’t think this applies.

According to Wikipedia it’s not, so you’re safe

I’m loving the puns quoted in the article haha

“Setting up a base in Vietnam” for a US company sounds like slightly painful wording to me…

I’m wondering if it’s tied to how status symbols differ per culture. Its been 20 years, but I don’t remember status symbols mattering much to my environment when I was a teenager in the Netherlands. I wonder how that is now.

I find their statements a bit on the sweeping side.

Out of more than 1.8 million administrator credentials analyzed, over 40,000 entries were “admin,” showing that the default password is widely accepted by IT administrators.

That’s just over 2 percent. “Widely accepted” in my book is a much larger percentage…

“up to 1% of 2100 planes could be affected” followed by “based on our calculations, as many as 21 planes could be affected” made me chuckle.

It might be overstating some things, but I’ve heard quite a few hardware startups fail the past years due to parts shortage, rising parts costs, energy costs, etc.

On the large industry scale the machine is ticking away just fine, but I’ve experienced first hand how those factors have decimated any reserves small players have over the past few years. And large companies don’t innovate nearly as much as small ones can - competitive advantages for the future are definitely lost here. While that may not be a problem today, that does mean Germany will be behind on innovation in 5 - 10 years.

Does anyone have any context about the “assassination wanted” banner in the listing image? I find it quite shocking, and the article didn’t make any mention of it that I saw.
