*Very* interesting #story about how a #startup was killed after getting large #vc #funding https://old.reddit.com/r/startups/commen.. I think the point is - don't deviate too far from your winning formula, especially because people who don't understand your success tell you to do so. I can very much see why more #funding than you need can kill your #startup / #company . The vast majority of #successful companies never recieved a single penny to #startup .
Would you look at that, #hunterbiden has been linked to a #china 's #ccp #pla #military #company https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/h.. This same #company , #avic , now helps #russia 's #military to to #fight in #ukraine by #supplying #fighterjet parts.
#infosys #leaked important #aws #credentials on #pypi for over a year, despite being a " #security " #company https://tomforb.es/infosys-leaked-fullad..
Would you look at that, #solarpanells in the #uk don't work, as the largest #solar #company #toucanenergy in the #uk has gone bust: https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/one-en.. Who #funded this bullshit? #thurrock #council , which is the #taxpayer . Even after #selling #assets , the #taxpayer is set to lose 200 #million #pounds . We keep getting told #renewables are #profitable though... *This was with #subsidies .*
I'm not sure which #company these people work for, but it sounds #awful https://harthur.wordpress.com/2013/01/24.. You have your #colleagues calling you out for your #opensource #project in #public (knowingly?), then you publicly #shame them, then they #publicly a#pologise ? It just sounds like a #shitshow . I would steer clear of all of them.
Even better, #elonmusk looking to #fire half of #twitter https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/elon-m.. It looks like there was really that much fat to be cut. #twitter may still yet become a #profitable #company !
#wind #energy on a #roof is looking better than #solar , and #cheaper https://www.pv-magazine.com/2022/10/17/r.. This #company may not be #legit though given the actions of their #ceo . That said, I believe that #wind #turbines are the single #easiest and #cheapest way a single person could #generate #electric almost anywhere in the world.
As expected, #elonmusk after finally #buying #twitter will now #fire 75% of the #staff to cut the fat of the #company that is un- #profitable https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/chief-.. This is inline with other #tech #companies also #firing people. Apparently he has already #fired the #chiefexecutive , #chieffinancialofficer and other #executives .
#ecb appears to be #preparing for mass #eu #energy #company #defaults https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/ecb-sc.. It will be interesting to see what they do after, #bailout them or take them over. Given the #eu 's naturally #expansionist #behaviour , I expect they will look to #control them and therefore make the #nation #states #dependent on the #eu .
Would you look at that, #russian #energy #company #gazprom have completely #shutoff #nordstream #shutdown indefinitely due to an " #unexpected #leak ": https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/surpris.. Things are just about as bad as possible for the #eu as they could possibly be without a #war .
Oh wow, #xcel , a #power #company in #us #colorado #blocked #users from turning down their #thermostat during a #heatwave https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/pow.. Just shows if it's #connected to the #internet , you probably don't #own it.
Pretty interesting #discussion on #lowendbox regarding #free #vps 's: https://lowendbox.com/blog/free-vps-prov.. There was also some discussion regarding a #company called #freevps https://lowendbox.com/blog/flashback-fre.. Some cool #ideas , I wonder whether there isn't something in all of this.
Well damn, #germany just #seizedcontrol of #russia #gas #import and #storage #company #gazprom https://youtube.com/watch?v=YNgf7Nu7tsY The #hackernews #comments are quite interesting on this one, making the #claim that they purposefully ran #reserves as low as possible before the #invasion of #ukraine to #weaken #germanies #energy #security https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=309.. This is how a #worldwar starts!
The #evergreen #shipping #company have once again declared #generalaverage for another #stranded #ship - at this rate they are very much running the #risk of being #banned for #reckless #management of their #vessels https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/genera.. I would be looking to slap #enormous #fines on them for this.
This is an *awesome* #writeup about a #company #idea for #paperwebsites https://daily.tinyprojects.dev/paper_web.. It's so cool I wish I had done it. Allowing people who really do not understand the #internet to connect with it - absolutely epic!
#markzuckerberg 's new #facebook #meta is asking for #nudes to apparently stop them from getting into the wrong hands... https://www.lotuseaters.com/meta-asks-fo.. The *same* #company that has experience massive #data #leaks in the past! Fuck no.
