Interesting article on why there were so many layoffs by very profitable tech companies.

kinda wonky, but extremely relevant to what's been going on in tech the past couple of years: a change to the tax code in 2017 (which was engineered to fall outside the window of CBO scoring) fundamentally shifted how large companies calculate R&D, which has in turn led to a *lot* of layoffs. If you aren’t a CFO or an accountant, you may not have heard about this at all - I know I hadn’t. This provision in the tax code (dating back to before I was born) has certainly been abused, but is also responsible for encouraging innovation in startups' early years, where it's very expensive to get momentum built up. Removing it effectively stacks the deck against innovation later on. https://qz.com/tech-layoffs-tax-code-trump-section-174-microsoft-meta-1851783502

Musk forderte die Schließung von Radio Liberty und Voice of America:

„Sie sind einfach radikale Linke, die Selbstgespräche führen und dabei jährlich eine Milliarde US-Steuergelder verbrennen.“

Ja! Sie mischen sich in Russia Today und Xinhua ein.

Musk verkleidet sich nicht länger, er kratzt genau nach dem Handbuch des Kremls

the more it goes, the less I use them, shame on Google !!

interesting. Put aside the sponsor part but this is indeed a frustration you have when you stumble on that recaptcha ...

Apple ordered to open encrypted user accounts globally to UK spying

The secret order would give the UK access to encrypted backups belonging to any user — not just Brits.
