According to Hirect, a free, chat-based hiring app, more than 50 rounds of layoffs have impacted over 14,000 highly skilled employees from the U.S.-based tech startups. With more layoffs undoubtedly on the horizon, do tech workers need a reality check?

If organizations follow the US government's lead and institute skills-based hiring (which doesn't require a degree) for technical positions, they may have an easier time finding tech talent. Hiring managers want evidence of skills, but a degree or certification won't teach curiosity, real-world applications, or resourcefulness. Can you really compare the experience of a formal education with that of someone who worked at a start up that was acquired by Big Tech?

Of course, wfa has its perks. But with the rise in living costs, a promotion doesn't seem bad itself. Having said that I am saving more money in my existing job because I can relocate to a cheaper accomodation. So my vote goes to work from anywhere.

True, iPhone was an avant garde invention when it was launched. Having said that, it's sad the glory days of iPhone seem to be fading away. Every innovation has its time and place, and it's about time new technologies are given their due, such as blockchain and crypto. We have to come out of our shadows thinking these are harmful for the mankind.

This is a great point! Quite insightful and detailed on how Ubuntu could have been the greatest program the world could have benefitted from. I think it was too shortlived and misunderstood for its time.

The challenges with Edge are management and cost. IoT and Edge computing still require centralized data storage and data management. Kubernetes/K8s are at the network edge in those environments. Thousands of nodes are simply unmanageable without an orchestrator like Kubernetes. Kubernetes is fueling momentum because the central manageability has gotten noticeably better over the past few years. Today organizations find that for performance reasons it’s better to do given functions in situ, rather than centrally.

RPA is a simple technology that completes repetitive, rule-based actions from structured digital data inputs. RPA automates processes and tasks by mimicking action through scripting and following rules. In contrast, cognitive automation leverages learning, reasoning, and self-correction.

I think there's more to it than meets the eyes. Shamelessness is interpretative. Today's celebrity culture is rampant with it. Art is not celebrated for its symbolism but more like a PR strategy. For example, Ranveer Singh the Indian actor went ahead and published his nude pics for a magazine. He calls it 'baring it all' but is it a strategic move to showcase himself and create controversy. In fact, controversy is the other name of shamelessness. So yes, it is strategic.

This is interesting, emojis have revolutionzed how we converse and communicate. But, we have taken inspiration from our ancestors who used to paint caves with symbols -- the first form of emojis we found.

When a critical vulnerability in the Apache Log4j library, a popular Java logging tool widely used across many programs and applications, came to light, security vendors rushed to patch affected systems. But the severe flaw has the potential to impact many more applications over the next few weeks and months. Here’s what security teams need to know about the newly discovered vulnerability and mitigation guidance.

There is no silver bullet when it comes to protecting against ransomware. A ransomware attack A prime example of this was the WannaCry virus attack in May 2017, where 200,000+ computers worldwide were infected due to a weakness in Windows SMB EnternalBlue, which allowed hackers to hijack computers running on an unpatched Microsoft Windows operating system. Users were asked to pay anywhere from 300-700 bitcoins to decrypt the data in 3 days.

According to Reuters, up to 1,500 businesses were affected by ransomware attacks last year. Another report by the Institute for Security + Technology found that the total amount paid by ransomware victims increased by 311% in 2020, reaching nearly $350 million worth of cryptocurrency. It therefore begs the question – what happens when organizations are hit by a ransomware attack? Is paying ransom a good idea? What happens if companies pay ransom to restore data? How can companies prepare to safeguard from ransomware attacks?

When Colonial Pipeline was brought down by a group of hackers in 2021, the company was forced to shell out $4.4 million in ransom to restore their oil operations. In early July last year, REvil demanded $70 million in ransom, the highest ever. Despite federal and homeland security agencies dissuading companies from attempting to pay ransoms, the Veeam 2022 Ransomware Trends Report found that 76% of organizations admit to paying ransomware criminals, with one-third still unable to recover data.

Natural language processing, the prodigal child of AI has revolutionized the way humans interact with computers. But does NLP hold ground for the future of AI? Our experts share what’s beyond language and why NLP will steer the AI ship now more than ever.

It's true and absolutely makes sense. I think social media is the bane of mankind.
