Poor #hongkong losing #freedomofpress #freedomofspeech to #china 's #ccp https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/h.. The #southchinamorningpost will likely be #acquired very soon by a #company owned/controlled by the #chinese #government directly.
*Very interesting* #service being #offered by this #datacentre #server #company https://pi-colocation.com/ You send them your #raspberrypi and then they #host it in their #server #infrastructure - very cool! They even run off of #green #energy ! Would be *very* #tempting to run such a service!
Looks like #china 's #ccp will be #forcing #evergrande 's #billionaire #founder to help #bailout his own #company https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/beijin.. Apparently this is more about the #chinese #government sending a message to other people, and a #message that they will not be #bailing out other #property #market #companies ...
Huh, #southwest #airlines in the #us have given up on #firing /putting #staff on #unpaid #leave after their #company had to #cancel tonnes of #flights https://www.zerohedge.com/political/sout.. This makes #biden look *very* #weak !
Hah, #ibm is actually old enough as a #company that they made actual #cheese #cutters https://hackaday.com/2021/10/12/ibm-chee.. #samsung is somewhat similar in this regard.
So #drones are falling out of the sky in #zhengzhou #china https://twitter.com/pitdesi/status/14451.. Part of me hopes it's due to #facebook #servers being down! There is a #rumour that a #rival #company who lost a #bid may be running #interference in #revenge ...
#elonmusk has no choice but to #bendover and take whatever the #chinese give him, as they #steal his #ip and take 50% ownership of his #china based #tesla #company https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/musk-p.. I'll build my own #ev thanks.

Good read about a #hacker #spam group tied to a #software #company that accidentally put their legit business credentials in when applying for rogue #domains https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/09/fudc..
Another #idea for a #company would be to create some kind of #news company. I have been thinking it could be cool to create something around #tech , #politics , #opensource , etc. It would be difficult to be #unique in an already crowded space, but I believe it could be done.
Thinking about it, I could create a #website #optimisation #company https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=283.. Rip out crappy #js - fix #reflow and #delayed #resources - snazz up the #css - I could do a pretty decent job I think.
Very cool to see #naomiwu #sexycyborg go and #demand that a #company in #china using the #gpl #android #kernel sahre their #source as #opensource https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vj04MKyk.. There is a particularly bad habit of companies using the work of others and not contributing back! Good on her!
Looks like a "new" #scam to be on the lookout for in the #car #rental space - #finding #customers for cars that have been #stolen back by your company https://twitter.com/tarikhcampbell/statu.. Somewhere in the #avis #company this appears to be happening... Honestly these days its almost worth just buying a cheap car rather than renting one.
The largest #attackvector for any #company is a #disgruntled / #retired #employee looking to #cashout https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/08/want.. Apparently #hackers are now asking high-level #employees to give them #backdoors into Company #infrastructure ... Definitely not worth it!
#yougetwhatyoudeserve - turns out that firing people based on #race and #sex is a form of #discrimination - who would have thought it: https://www.theguardian.com/media/2021/j.. The #judge in the case didn't say what they did was wrong though, they merely said that the #company should have first reviewed all of the employees. #jowallace deserves the hate, she literally said she would 'obliterate white, middle-class straight people'!
