The article states: the reasons why he was let go aren't important
Yeah, right.
If a guy's under-performing in his first month, the most likely causes are all about bad management.
So it couldn't be because is boss was an @rsehole, who treats employees like sh1t, could it?
He was obviously a great boss, a superlative manager, who couldn't possibly instill hatred or the desire for revenge in his grateful employees.
The article states: Could Voova have avoided this crisis? Yes, and the solution would have been simple: a 2FA (two-factor authentication) system.
Yeah, right.

Reminds me of an incident which happened more than 20 years ago. Just before he left, an employee who was fired changed the super-user password of the main Unix server of a branch office of a bigger company. The branch office lost all the data, as they had only to reformat the system. They had no backups. Lesson learnt the hard way.

When I read questions involving time zones, there’s almost always someone giving the advice to only ever store UTC. Convert to UTC as soon as you can, and convert back to a target time zone as late as you can, for display purposes, and you’ll never have a time zone issue again, they say. It's true - they do nothing against werewolves

This is not restricted to time-zones.
For everything that you store in the database, you either store it in a common accesible normalized form, or you add a column that contains such a form. Why? Because it leads to a mess if you put temperatures in a column in Kelvin, Celcius and Fahrenheit, and it breaks SQL in the sense that you have to get them in a single unit again before being able to call a simple funtion like "AVG()".
So no, that advice is not a silver bullet, but taking a single edge-case and making an article out if it is no silver bullet either.

Much ado about nothing. 
This is only an issue for future time stamps. For past and present timestamps, it's sufficient to store the timestamp in UTC with timezone offset.

OT, but nowadays, with great power comes DOS attacks, security breaches, tech thieving countries, gender equality lawsuits, corruption, congressional hearings, the EU, and newbies wanting to rewrite everything in Ruby or Python.
Oh, and reading above, disgruntled employees that go postal.
Power is not what is used to be.

Technology giant IBM targeted “gray hairs” and “old heads” for negative performance reviews so it could oust them from the company as it formed a “Millennial Corps” and focused on hiring “early professionals,” a new age-discrimination lawsuit claims. IBM has millennials working for them?

A report from Bitwise -- an investment firm lobbying for FEC approval for a cryptocurrency based exchange-traded fund -- found that 95% of the trading volume in Bitcoin was fake, ginned up through techniques like "wash trading" where a person buys and sells an asset at the same time. And here I thought that stuff was 100% legitimate

Funny thing that. I once explained here on Code Project how to fake crypto currency trading and was told it was impossible.

TossingBot, developed by Google and Princeton, can teach itself to throw arbitrary objects with better accuracy than most humans "First of all you force him to drop the banana; then, second, you eat the banana, thus disarming him. "
I, for one, accept our new banana-throwing overlords.

If the world revolved around tossing, I would be worried.
Let it be noted that I'm not sure that the word "tossing" has the same connotations in the rest of the English-speaking world, so I won't be going into the potential involvement of pron sites in this venture.
