Graphics descriptions, yes, depictions no.

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.

> Right. The author missed this as one of the major attack vectors that this aims to protect against.

Did you read the article? He mentioned that right upfront.

You don’t though. Your risk calculation is the same.

That’s an interesting attack vector. Bribe someone to replace the disk without wiping it, and be in a position to intercept it after that.

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.

I would argue that 10% still doesn't matter as much as other things. But it's starting to matter.

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.

Evil is not an argument. It is a trivialization itself.

One can argue that it's a bad thing (evil is still too strong a word I think.) But that's not what's going on here.

Why US only? Aren't you shrinking the talent pool 10% for no good reason by excluding Canada?

I just see this with a lot of job postings, and as a Canadian I just skip on past them and they potentially miss out on a great hire.

I believe this should say Onsite / REMOTE (U.S. only). To avoid wasting the time of people outside the US.

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.
