I’ve been using JetBrains IDEs for over a decade but rarely open them anymore because working on several worktrees concurrently is extremely frustrating and wasteful. Their AI strategy is all over the place and they always wanted to sell their opaque and overpriced tokens, which made no sense. I hope they get their act together.

WARHAMMER 40.000: SPACE MARINE 5 (i guess real studios will crank out two more of those before this one is released...)

Pathetic! At my company, we have a 100% margin before accounting for cost!

Let's hope, it doesn't fall off...

Thank god, it's not microplastic!

Has this not been common knowledge for a long time? The argument for high load/low reps has always been that it a) saves time and b) will increase your strength (vs. muscle size) more. Both of which are important factors, especially if you are doing strength training not for cosmetic but health reasons. The number of 8-12 reps to muscle failure has been promoted because a too low number of reps (too high load) seems not to induce as much hypertrophy and is bad for your joints, etc..

Your statements about Germany are not correct: Factur-X is not common in Germany at all, the German version of this standard (albeit very closely related to Factur-X) is called Zugferd and it is by no means mandatory in Germany.

Actually, most governmental agencies (which have required e-invoices for many years), only accept the pure XML files. Zugferd is a bit of an interim solution until everybody is familiar with an e-invoice visualizer. There are already many free (as in beer and source) solutions available for that. Zugferd (X-Factur) is a problematic standard, because there can be discrepancies between the PDF and the embedded file and its unclear, which is authorative. Concerning the platforms: I don't know about France, but in Germany, sending e-invoices by e-mail is explicitly permitted by the government.

Well, as they should, because they are now by far the biggest emitter with higher CO2 emissions than the EU and US combined. Even their per capita emissions have surpassed countries like Germany.

Didn't they promise regulators, that they wouldn't exclude other platforms from Activision games, CoD in particular? So if they now give it away to the users of their platform but users of other platforms have to pay top dollar, is that not more or the less the same as excluding them. They basically use the Activision franchise to force users on their platform.

Trustpilot is a scam which encourages bad reviews to force companies to buy their paid plan to “manage” those bad reviews and to feed it good reviews.

I don’t know about the US, but at least in Germany, Amazon has lost control of its inventory many years ago. Fake products, fake reviews, empty boxes, etc. have been very common. There are also many products having no or faked safety certificates. So it’s not surprising that you can buy stuff like spy cams intended for illicit use on there.

One might call it: first world problems…

Be it as it may, it does not really matter, whether it came from a Okta database or of any other company. It further compromises Okta's security which is pretty bad because being secure is basically their primary service proposition.

I don’t know why people are all pretending like this is irrelevant to Okta's security.

An employee list like that is a goldmine for all sorts of social engineering and phishing attacks.
