    Love the naysaying on #Qianhai in #Shenzhen #China that I will be doing a video on. The media has called it a failed city. I see opportunity like nowhere else in a simplified system. This is like doubting America&amp;#39;s Silicon Valley based on any straws you can grab. The #GDP of #business in Qianhai rivals major world cities and even some countries. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/east-asia/china-qianhai-economic-zone-shenzhen-hong-kong-international-ambitions-5584761

    This sounds like good #business support at first but what happens if the new founder blows past $100K in #aws #Cloud #computing and token fees without turning a profit? I know people on trial accounts who accidentally burned past the free tier and had a huge bill. With flat rate dedicated servers or VMs there is no such risk or it is at least minimal. #vps #dedicatedservers https://www.scmp.com/presented/tech/topics/generative-ai-and-cloud-services/article/3360886/amazon-web-services-bets-one...

    #Shenzhen pilot zone of #qianhai reports growth at nearly %8 GDP but the media still dubs it a failure. Economy expanded 7.8% from a year ago in the January-June period to 167.74 billion yuan (US$24.78 billion), with the added value of the modern service industry jumping 11% year on year to 116.52 billion yuan, according to data recently released by the Qianhai Authority. https://qh.sz.gov.cn/en/news/content/post_12913106.html

    What a game changer as #Shenzhen takes steps to make things easier for foreigners by offering Western card payments like VISA/MC in their #metro https://qh.sz.gov.cn/en/news/content/post_12876923.html

    Fascinating how even #China #education and #degrees are pivoting towards #handson #learning which is exactly what #techrichtraining does for #IT and what my company believes matters most Skills over unapplicable Theory. https://www.scmp.com/economy/china-economy/article/3352006/china-sparks-backlash-plan-send-jobless-graduates-vocational-school?module=perpetual_scroll_1_RM&amp;amp;pgtype=article https://training.techrich.hk

    I just posted a new video about #Iran and the new #IRGC strike list which is #US #bigtech #datacenters #cloud such as #Amazon #Google #Oracle #Azure etc.. It&amp;#39;s time for all companies and users to find private datacenter solutions and avoid the problems of public cloud. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnTeVb_TFdU

    #China is placing mandatory #ethics training into the governance of #AI #business models and tools. This could be a gamechanger as to who wins the AI race. Half of the issues in AI relate to mental health and issues of war and violence, and other anti-social or ethical issues. https://www.scmp.com/tech/policy/article/3348995/beijing-mandates-internal-ai-ethics-reviews-ensure-controllable-tech?module=top_story&amp;amp;pgtype=section

    #China demonstrates leadership in both #business #tech and #AI by offering subsidized access to computing. This means small firms in China have both national and international advantages. As AI rises the sustainable issue is access to enough computing for affordable price. To do that you need affordable land and electricity, which China has. #investing in Chinese #tech and AI is looking like a smarter play each day. https://www.scmp.com/tech/article/3348910/china-build-inclusive-ai-network-...

    I&#39;m very proud that my company Techrich https://techrich.hk was accepted as an Official #Ubuntu #OS image mirror: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+mirror/mirror.techrich.hk-release Many thanks to the #Ubuntu team and all the #opensource community who I encourage everyone to support.

    Scary #Github #supplychain #cybersecurity attack on #Aquasecurity #docker images This one is a classic issue of accidentally putting credentials, tokens or keys into what is pushed onto Github. It happens much more than people think. I advocate for completely private build process and the scaling back of public repositories as it is easy to see how to surreptitiously modify code to inject malware into an image. https://www.aquasec.com/blog/trivy-supply-chain-attack-what-you-need-to-know/

    I do a quick analysis of the #kashpatel #fbi hack and also talk a bit about what I think was a recent #cyberattack on #whitehouse staffers. I also explain how to avoid getting #hacked like this and how most people and companies are 100% vulnerable because their #e-mails are stored in the open and #public servers like #hotmail, #gmail or similar insecure services. Those who value their security use services like my companies provide such as the #techrich #cyberbunker https://techrich.hk

    The biggest fire hazard in your #car may be your #USB #charging cable! This is an old #Samsung cable that was sitting plugged into the charger that had heat cycled too much, broke near the connector and started melting the wire around it. Check your cables, sometimes you wont&amp;#39; see any cracks or breaks but the cable near the connector may be discolored/brown. If you see any discoloration replace the cable ASAP to prevent a fire.

    Much of the #Gulf #GCC is now doing #remote #online learning owing to the war and reminiscent of #COVID times.

    Can #HongKong win the #AI race? I think it has all of the right ingredients with the main headwind potentially being high #finance costs for #realestate which of course means higher operating costs for #datacenters that run it. However, the availability of enough commercial real estate, attractive tax regime, and vast amounts of power for reasonable prices help, especially compared to #business in #Singapore https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/hong-kong-economy/article/3346561/hong-kongs-bid...

    What do you think, is #AI stealing this #tech employee&#39;s #tech #career ? Of course only employers know but I would say confidently that many #eCommerce #jobs especially entry level can be replaced with AI. My biggest concern about the AI impact on the job #market is that many entry level jobs are being wiped out. This is because with AI, for many tech related tasks, you can get away with a Intermediate or Senior supervising the AI agents as they work. https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kon...

    @corgidad@c7.io I struggle to figure out who the winner is in this one😂 . Is one who uses more tokens more productive or might they be inefficient or just wasting API calls?

    The #US #Israeli war on #Iran has impacted the #Gulf #MiddleEast including the #UAE but I&#39;m in the camp that the UAE is especially well positioned for a strong recovery and to navigate current and post-war challenges and history shows us just that. https://www.rt.com/news/636201-uae-economy-after-iran/

    Are you considering OS&#39;s for your Android phone like #GrapheneOS or #lineageos to escape the #Android lock and #Google spying? The only tricky part is that GrapheneOS only supports Pixel phones while LineageOS supports a wider variety of vendors and phones but you may still need a generation or two down. https://lineageos.org/
