The work is better than the options people have there, otherwise they wouldn’t do it. Don’t try to spin it as a negative thing for them. They don’t see it that way.
It’s a necessary stepping stone on the path to better working conditions and wages. I think people forget what the early days of the Industrial Revolution looked like in our countries.
Can you get there without that? Likely not.
What you’re suggesting is to actually keep them poor for their own good. It’s a nonsensical and counterproductive argument that your making.
It’s a job that is safer and pays better than the alternatives. Don’t go imposing your view of the world on others and thinking you know what’s best for other adults. You won’t like it if I come into your life and do that, even if I were right.
In this case is text. There’s no graphic depictions of anything. There could be foul, abusive, or racist language. But that’s much less difficult to deal with.
The author is not talking about getting someone with physical access. He’s talking about bribing someone with software access to your disks, who can access the data, regardless of the encryption settings.
The author is talking specifically about AWS. The odds that there is a mistake decommissioning the disk that leaves the data intact, times that somebody salvaged it from a landfill, times that they care about your data is basically zero. Which means a logical person should worry about everything else.
Completely agree, that's why this Lago is interesting to me instead of using Stripe services. I'd rather use Stripe for the bare minimum so I can implement support for a backup provider as well.
He just did, it's called Rust. And if someone invented a language 5% faster than C. He'd still use C. If someone had invented a language faster than C when he started working on Linux, he would still have chosen C. He didn't pick it because it was the fastest (and it likely wasn't back then - C compilers have come a long way.)
The difference in performance between existing systems languages is greater than 1%. This is just not a big deal. People will not choose their systems language based on a 1% performance difference. It's so far down the list of considerations that it's a total non-issue.
I work in tech, despite California being the center of that industry, I've resisted relocating to there every time. I don't much care for it. Tastes vary. If the housing market wasn't so fucked it might be a different story.
When you need a senior/lead level software engineer, contact me (info in profile.) It'd be nice to work on something that could really, actually, literally make the world a better place.
> Oh and whoever wrote and sent out that statement about how the state was pursuing this was why so many businesses are leaving California needs to be fired. It was so utterly tone deaf and irrelevant.
It is tone deaf and irrelevant, but they should not lose their job over that. Let the person who has never held a poor opinion throw the first stone.
I came to this conclusion when I was about 24. I was thinking about what I wanted most from life. Success, a girlfriend, a car, etc. I settled on autonomy, although I phrased it as freedom. Freedom to do or work on what I want.
I work part time now and spend most of my days working on what I want. I guess I partly achieved that, by age 36. Getting there.
Imagine hooking up the public tax returns to an image recognition system and database built from social media. It should be possible to create a dating app for women that lets you see the wealth of people on tinder, in the street, at a party. Men might also use that, but they already have their ideal "rating by physical appearance" app in tinder. Some gender differences are persistent throughout all human history.
I think the problem is these IRAs were not designed to shield the super rich from taxes. It's meant to help the average person. Implemented properly it should have an upper limit, probably under a million dollars. Letting it grow to five billion tax free is a loophole that shouldn't exist and does not benefit society at large.
Some countries have public tax returns (Sweden? Norway? One of those Nordic countries.)
I think probably they should be public data.
That aside, for very rich people, having them be public is in the interest of the public as it reveals the shady stuff they do to dodge taxes (legally.)
