Web development is no longer just about writing code.

It is about understanding architecture, performance, APIs, databases, security, UX, deployment, and how everything fits together.

The better you understand the entire system, the better developer you become.

@GlobeEyeNews Damn Jensen really said No to AI Models and yes to Chinese Models

Started with Jensen. Ended with a spy.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admitted to an affair with Alice Huang, a Megaspeed exec US intelligence says was working for China's Ministry of State Security.

The fallout:
- $190B wiped from Nvidia's market cap

Suing first was the wrong move here

[kuroclips @kuroclips0]

Robin Thicke sued first to protect Blurred Lines. It ended with him paying Marvin Gaye's family $5.3 million and handing them half the song's royalties forever

In the video below, Thicke and Pharrell under oath, on tape, answering who really wrote it

Blurred Lines was the biggest song of 2013. Thicke told magazines he wrote it in about half an hour

Marvin Gaye's children said it sounded too much like their father's 1977 song Got to Give It Up

So in August 2013, before the family could sue, Thicke and Pharrell went to court first, asking a judge to declare they had copied nothing

Then came the depositions

Thicke testified he had a drug and alcohol problem for the whole year and "didn't do a sober interview." He admitted he didn't really help write the song

Pharrell said he was "in the driver's seat." Asked whose words were in the lyrics, he answered: "Mine"

The jury didn't buy their side. In March 2015 it awarded Gaye's family $7.4 million

The judge cut it to $5.3 million, then added the part that hurts most: 50% of the song's future royalties go to the Gaye family

The appeals court upheld it in 2018

They went to court to protect the song. They walked out without half of it

Did they steal Marvin Gaye's song, or did the court punish them for copying a feeling?

@Abramjee It's been like this for years

@Pirat_Nation If they admit they admit to planting a honeypot
