You aren't the only one feeling like you're giving more than you're getting from your employer – a chunk of Microsofties are of the same opnion. "Big boss man, can't you hear me when I call?"
But -- free soft drinks and coffee? Isn't that a great deal?

The question is... do they think it about their employyer? Or about Microsoft?
In this case that could be a not so small difference...

In my early 20s I travelled up the coast to a hippy town (Nimbin) right near Byron Bay.
We'd taken a tent, so wouldn't want one of the on-sites.
The signs all called it a combi-van park. Hmmmm. Yup, on-site combis to sleep in. Someone had opened and offered us 1/2 a plastic supermarket bag full of pot for $10 a few minutes earlier, in the town's main street, with no more secrecy than someone asking for a cigarette.
Anyhow, the office at the park was up a tree and the flower-garden by the communal kitchen had a spindly 2 ft dope plant trying to survive.
Well.... you did say "Any".

The U.S. government is considering issuing an executive order that would require vendors to provide a software bill of materials (SBOMs). Caution: may contain nuts
Or at least - made in a facility that contains nuts

Can we ask for such a label for politicians and regulators?
Ingredients:
1% brain
99% Void
CAUTION: May contain traces of bullshit, crappy political correctness and utterly nonsense...

That's an extraordinarily high percentage for a politician.

Hmpf.
Ever tried to get a "Safety Integrity Level" certification? Even for the simplest level, you have to provide far more than that.

Er... isn't this just going to rule out smaller vendors in favour of bigger vendors who can afford to tick the (largely worthless) boxes.
Regulatory capture, much? Follow the money.

And we have a winner! Probably exactly why the idea is going forward.

Structured Query Language (SQL) at scale can lead to unstructured, unmaintainable database code - at least as far as Google is concerned - so boffins affiliated with the biz have devised an open source logical programming language to make SQL more amenable to maintenance. But then how would I be a SELECT individual?
Quote: Here's how a basic query might look in Logica code:
MagicComment(comment_text:) :-
`comments`(user_id:, comment_text:),
user_id == 5;
And here's the equivalent in SQL:
SELECT comment_text FROM comments WHERE user_id = 5;
Oh... Much clearer... /ugh

Depends on your definition of 'clearer.' To Google, it is, because their servers get to 'clearly' see the new-style transaction!   (and /s?)

So let's create an even more confusing tool that actually doesn't even solve the problem. Rather than teaching programmers how to write more maintainable DB code.
I'm surprised they didn't start with a Lego-like UI that made it entertaining. Or used Excel.

I am actually unimpressed by the Logica sample in the article...

The EU is set to unveil a proposal to regulate the sprawling field of artificial intelligence next week, with the aim of reassuring the public against "Big Brother"-like abuses. Irony: (noun) a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result.
At least to Alanis-levels of irony to me.

And in the meanwhile the inner minister in germany is trying (again²) to pass a bunch of big-brother and net survilleance laws

If you mean that Big Brother laws will apply to tech companies but not governments, you've surely hit the nail on the head.

It's like the whole crap with the covid track apps / data in phyiscal locations...
Government some months ago: No, No, No, data will be private... (Yeah, right!!)
Reality: Police and others are using it at will without asking for permission or not even taking security precautions...
But hey... it is all for our own security...
