US senators from both parties teaming up against Tiktok

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 11:48:00 GMT

WASHINGTON (Nexstar)-- Senators from both parties are teaming up against Tiktok.China, through their technology, is stealing Americans data, and South Dakota republican John Thune says the Chinese-owned social media app won't be the last similar threat to our national security.The Chinese Communist party has proven over the last few years that is willing to lie about just about everything. That likely won't end with Tiktok.On Tuesday, Thune and Virginia democrat Mark Warner introduced the "Restrict act," which would give the president and the secretary of commerce, the authority to prohibit any foreign technology posing a security risk.Warner said that includes software, hardware and social media platforms.It's genuinely risk-based.The senators say their bill is different from the one house republicans introduced last week, because it doesn't single out Tiktok. Opponents of that bill argued it would violate the First Amendment.The idea of having a rules-based process that identifies...

Sisältömarkkinointi englanniksi – Milloin on aika panostaa englanninkieliseen sisältöön?

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 11:48:00 GMT

Pääsyy englanninkielisen sisällön tuottamiseen on yleensä yrityksen pyrkiminen kansainvälisille markkinoille. Tämä ei kuitenkaan ole ainoa syy, miksi sisältömarkkinointi englanniksi kannattaa. Suomi on enenevässä määrin kansainvälinen maa, ja täällä asuu paljon ihmisiä, jotka puhuvat hyvin vähän tai eivät lainkaan kaunista kotimaista kieltämme. Kääntämällä sivut englanniksi ja luomalla englanninkielistä sisältöä Suomessa asuville englannin kieltä puhuville, voit erottua joukosta. Lapinlahden hävikkikukkakaupan kyltit ovat suomeksi ja englanniksiEnglannin kielen merkitys näkyy vahvana myös etenkin pääkaupunkiseudun katukuvassa. Helsingin keskustan alueella ei voi kävellä pitkiä matkoja huomaamatta englanninkielistä katumarkkinointia. Minulla on englannin kielen tärkeydestä myös henkilökohtaista kokemusta, koska mieheni ei juurikaan puhu suomea, ja hän usein etsii englannin kielellä Googlesta paikallisia palveluita. Ne palveluntarjoajat, joiden sivut on käännetty englanniksi, tulevat ...

Malja rohkeudelle

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 11:48:00 GMT

Nyt on kulunut reilu vuosi yrityksen perustamisesta, ja joka päivä opin uutta yrittäjyydestä.Arvostus muita yrittäjiä kohtaan on noussut suuresti tänä aikana. Monella yrittäjällä on ollut rankkaa koronan seurauksena. Yrittäjyys on jatkuvaa työtä ilman lomia ja vapaa-aikaa. Pitää olla valmis vastaamaan sähköposteihin 24/7, tai muuten voi menettää projektin (kokemuksen syvällä rintaäänellä).Olin kyllä varautunut yrittäjyyden rankkuuteen, mutta varsinkin koronan tuoma erityistilanne korosti, kuinka paljon kovaa työtä yrittäminen vaatii.Vielä vuosi sitten visioni ei ollut keskittyä yksinomaan kielipalveluihin, mutta uusien asiakkaiden, tekemieni virheiden ja maailman tilanteen seuraksena yritystoimintani on kehittynyt vahvasti kielipalveluiden suuntaan.Yrittäjyys on ollut oppikoulu, ja nyt pikkuhiljaa alan saada siitä otteen. Olen erittäin kiitollinen kaikille asiakkailleni, jotka ovat uskaltaneet antaa minulle, uudelle yrittäjälle, mahdollisuuden näyttää kynteni.Toivon sitä samaa rohke...
