kimsant | 2 years ago | on: Spain cancels Pegasus spyware investigation because Israel is not co-operating

Spain is asking the receipt?

Jokes aside, Canadian group points half your country is being spied, specially dissidents. You say nothing is todo with Spain, like a Saudi regime.

Then funds are traced from reserved funds of Spanish government to Pegasus's, you agree, say will investigate, ask the receipt to Israel? Just find who/why decided this, put the head down and try to apologize/add measures to avoid spying dissidents

Sad to hear that top minds just give up on humanity and accept money as a goal by itself. I do have long term investments (5 nanometers, extreme litography, electric vehicles... just what I love), I make money, but is not something I need to live.

Last month, when war started I told my team, Aerovironment stock, is gonna double (war drones) but I'm not gonna be part and I want you all to feel how calmed I'm about that and undertand (I don't need those 100k). I now undertand the difference between being Socrates or a 'sofist' (greek philosophs both, one for pleasure, the second as a job). Investing shouldn't be a need, is what's best for humanity. I think Elon musk already refered this way

kimsant | 4 years ago | on: The mother of all crashes is coming and it won’t be fun

Bravo. Peace of mind is an indirect cost of investment. I've met a brilliant head of engineering, that told me "I've sold all my stocks/coins so I can stop looking at my phone and reading articles, and I can really focus on what matters". Not having state bonds that allow people face inflation, has a HUge indirect cost: having offices full of nerds looking at stock/coin exchanges. How much human valuable time is now lost on that?

I see too many fearless, and too less greedy. China is already there, delisting stocks from the US, empowering it's currency and improving fast in intelectual property regulation and economics management. Maybe we won't see crashes, but the big risk is a change of dynamics, a big stocks flat only sustained by inflation that sooner or later could trigger the ultimate shift of mindset, china beeing the right place to invest, yuan the world currency.

In Germany, using torrent means 700€ fine (ISP reports). The goal of this might be that they... - Want to punish people that can't do tunneling - Want to prevent content distribution - found a way to get money from foreigners that don't know (This happened to a friend of min, 1 month after he got installed in Hamburg)

I hope is the 3rd

If there is one big broker, and the broker is free to control what can be done, and the volumes... The broker is god.

Regulation coming for all sides soon.

Free users help making a robust product avoiding having tones of bugs/lacks discovered by paid users. Running an ecommerce warehouse integration platform, is not easy to come forward with all business cases / use cases beforehand. Just look below, a dude says it lacks timezone support. Valuable information. Value provided!

Gitlab is a pioneer here. The did start with the 2000 minutes free of shared runners, for private and public repos. I really think we should all thank them for pushing ahead on innovation.

Gitlab invented this, github copied. Same as Snapchat invented, Instagram copied them.

I implemented Apple Login.

Took me about 2 months, since I do it on weekends, and had to move the deployment of the back-end microservices to a ci/cd docker instance since .so files of openssl can't be compiled in mac and used in linux ( i use Aws lambdas). And of course, I have a MAC because HOW else I would BUILd and Archive my ApPLE XCOdE IOS app haahah? In my prev company we had a Mac machine plugged with SSh to Jenkins!!! GOd! A company that has 700milion visitors A MONtH is forced to do this!

You see, the problem is they force my choices All the time, and by forcing it I have to make bad decisions.

kimsant | 5 years ago | on: About iSH’s pending removal from the App Store

This year I build qoob, an app to interact with an IOT electric scooter parking. In August I had the MVP ready, we build 2 prototypes and could save and charge scooters of all voltages in office halls.

The project is not my main job, so time is precious.

I was asked to create a new functionality: Allow companies to buy and borrow e-scooters between company employees.

But what happened is that I had to implement Apple Login, since FB and Google did work already.

Who should I take care off? Apple or the customer/users? Is it optimal to prioritize the Apple Login, that nobody requested?

I don't care about monopoly persse, I'm concerned because it doesn't let me be user-centric, consumer-centric.

(and I can't leave apple, because I can't leave my users)

kimsant | 5 years ago | on: PicoRio Linux RISC-V SBC is an open-source alternative to Raspberry Pi board

The chip industry will do like the telecom industry.

1st few players grow it important 2nd it becames a big monopoly, we all depend on 3rd other players need 10 years to build competition ( needed time to build cable/towers) ( needed time to develop processors ) 4th you have a bunch of players, all with FIX COSTS and with a 1$ variable cost for new customers, the competition squeez the margins to arround Zero. 5th you still have to keep up with the improvements ( 5G?? / 7nm??, 6nm?? ), so just to keep going investments are needed, and so profits disappear in the industry

airlines, Telecom, .... next chipmakers

kimsant | 5 years ago | on: Huawei 5G kit must be removed from UK by 2027

a very simple person here:

Does this mean that operators will have to pay for it, so new investments will be required?

If 5G deployment price increase due to this political stuff, is gonna be then more expensive for the end user no? price will reflect it i guess...

kimsant | 5 years ago | on: Yann LeCun quits Twitter amid acrimonious exchanges on AI bias

Yann LeCun is an excellent engineer, and he is making pedagogy about AI. His point is totally valid, but yet, he gets political replys that lose him.

Yan LeCun would be comfortable talking about why back propagation in convNets does better with white tones and shadows, but is not a politician, seller, politically correct personality, able to answer some "You can't reduce the society bias of ML to some kinda data bias ALWAYS #somehashtag".

See my point?
