@n1vux "Engineering team" is a misnomer. "We'll outsource that algorithm instead of writing software" = "our software team doesn't know how to write software".

Faire laver les sous-vêtements sales, acheter de la drogue pour les clients, amuser le chat de la patronne... Le poste de "chief happiness officer" de The Family a viré à l’esclavage pour les fondateurs Alice Zagury, Oussama Ammar et Nicolas Colin. On se doutait que ce poste était du bullshit, en fait c'était de la maltraitance... https://www.linforme.com/tech-telecom/article/the-family-revelations-sur-le-management-extravagant-d-ammar-zagury-et-colin_1502.html

Deutschland ist schon jetzt -Land. Wir haben gut ausgebildete Forscher, eine lebendige KI--Szene und eine wachsende Digitalwirtschaft, die international Investoren anzieht. 💡📱🚀

"Ich möchte unsere führende Rolle in Europa bei dieser Schlüsseltechnologie weiter ausbauen. Mit einem positiven offenen Blick auf die Chancen, die uns KI & bieten. Und mit innovationsfreundlicher Politik, die Unternehmern, Forschern und Erfindern den Rücken stärkt", so Wissing. (1/2)

aniltj,

⟨ " Our economy is dominated by five aging tech giants – Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft. In the last twenty years, no company has commercialized a new technology in a way that threatens them. Why?

We argue that the tech giants have learned how to coopt disruption.

They identify potentially disruptive technologies, use their money to influence the startups developing them, strategically dole out access to the resources the startups need to grow, and seek regulation that makes it harder for the startups to compete. When a threat emerges, they buy it off. And after they acquire a startup, they redirect its people and assets to their own innovation needs.

These seemingly unrelated behaviors work together to enable the tech giants to maintain their dominance in the face of disruptive innovations. " ⟩

In addition to the tactics noted in the paper, the manner in which incumbents use standards development organizations and industry consortia to slow-roll anything that disrupts their existing product lines, and try to re-direct anything disruptive to something that they can (barely) incrementally implement is something that is not appreciated enough!

H/T to @pluralistic for his essay which provided the pointer to this paper. Link to essay @ https://pluralistic.net/2024/02/08/permanent-overlords/

@aniltj @pluralistic They also acquire startups only to shelve their tech innovations. I know someone who used to do startup acquisitions for Microsoft. 20 yrs ago they bought a startup that found a way to make computers unhackable. They were so excited about the tech and how it would help. Microsoft shelved it. They don’t do acquisitions anymore.

Was ich in meiner Rolle als in nem völlig unterschätzt habe, sind ja Mails aus der Kaltakquise, um Softwareentwicklung zu verkaufen. Ich bekomme täglich mindestens drei Mails von Firmen, die für mich entwickeln wollen. Schon ein bisschen nervig. 😅

bodomenke,
@bodomenke@hessen.social avatar

@FabianLaasch Und als CIO bekommst Du dann neben den Mails von den Body-Leasing-Buden noch Headhunter-Mails, massig Invites zu „Kamingesprächen“ und erlesenen IT-Führungskreisen und Interview-Anfragen zu Thema X.

Muten in der Inbox ist mindestens so wichtig wie hier. 😉

A little less than three years ago, in the midst of the COVID Pandemic, we launched this tiny web app: https://networkd.eu Then, we dumped it aside.

I won’t pitch it to anyone, because frankly, I don’t think I have the energy to manage so many things in a day. Suffice to say, it hasn’t found its prime time.

And yet, I’ve been going through the flow recently, and I was blown away how complete and smooth it feels, given, we only invested about a month’s work on it tops.

preslavrachev,
@preslavrachev@mastodon.social avatar

It just pains me that more people haven’t had the chance to see it for themselves, and help us polish the use case. Of course, we then dove ourselves into @murmel_social and lots of client work, so it was normal to keep some thing aside. But I still want to see networks sort of start a (however small) life of its own.

Startup idea:

Build a web site with up to the minute data on all the streaming services, and their associated partnerships.

Customers go there, click on all their streaming services and partnerships, they have access to.

Get a report back that shows how to get what I want for the least amount of money, taking advantage of those partnerships.

This exist? 🤔💰

arathar,

@davemark Yes, price comparison would be useful but I’ve often thought we need a “wherecaniwatch.com” that can direct viewers to foreign & hard to find titles. I was recently looking for the UK Ghosts final season but couldn’t find a way to see it without using a VPN. Could you get a bounty for signing up new streaming subscribers?

@davemark@mastodon.social avatar

@arathar Love that suggestion!
