I don't think anyone who didn't live through Tschernobyl, WAA, Castor and the NATO Double-Track Decision with the SS-20 scare can understand why Germany doesn't want nuclear power.

"no legal limit."

There is in the EU. Keeping data indefinitely is illegal. Expert opinion varies on how long you can keep it, many think you're save with 12 months, most think 36 months is too long.

... but the product.

Well then "delete past recordings here" is probably not true.

What Smartphone is listening all the time and sending the voice data to some people to listen in?

After a year with several Echos we ended up with listening to Spotify and getting the time of the day. Everything else looked like a gimmick. So we dropped the Echos, the tradeof between people listening into your conversations vs. using a light switch just wasn't worth it.

Yes.

As a rocket engine?

As a TS user I'd think there is a lot of TS in this post, e.g. structural typing, union types etc.

Like everyone else they want to become the next WhatsApp - with only "the privacy conscious crowd" they don't think they'll get there. They market to your mom.

I'm using Signal and I never want or wanted

"like Signal, WhatsApp, Telegram etc and tells you which other users are contactable."

As a former OS/2 lover, no.

"If you really feel uncomfortable about it, include the weather outside the office day. It seems silly, but it can lead to some interesting lines of questioning in legal proceeding"

Will remember this!

The problem is not the low price of the outsourced developer but the outsourcing managers.

Most managers do not control outsourced IT projects because they don't want to or - if business managers - they can't because of a lack of knowledge. I've seen that dozens of time.

I've met executives who said 'Don't mail me problems, always call me.' or who said 'Don't ever tell me problems'.

Because the moment there is a paper trail, they can't hide.

As an employee you always want to create a paper trail otherwise they will pin it on you. Print emails if necessary.

"So "Boeing" didn't falsified records, 2 of their employees did."

You should become a lawyer.

The email client I use - Nine - is on the list. I can't see how an email client is a problem except they want to push Googles client. Hope Nine gets fixed.

To break password managers :-( I hate 2 step forms. They make the internet less secure.

"reCAPTCHA v2 is superseded by v3 because it presents a broader opportunity for Google to collect data, and do so with reduced legal risk."

And if you use something to prevent tracking - in my case Brave - reCAPTCHA is a huge pain that often takes dozens of clicks to make it through - delayed by Google to wait out bots.

Some times I think reCAPTCHAs main goal is to bring back those opposing tracking back into the fold of Chrome with painful recaptchas.

So? The parent was about the victimization of Russia. Your time line is about the allies caved in to the Reich and Germany invaded Czechoslovakia and as far as I can see has nothing to do with Russia, but I might miss something.

Then the Reich and Soviet Russia sat together cut Europe in halt. Stalin was by far the better strategist though, he talked to the French and English, waited until the Reich invaded Poland and then invaded Poland and the Baltic states second.

If you work in a place where there is not enough funding for your job to do it safely and people may day, you need to walk away.

It's a culture problem. You need to fix the culture to fix the root causes of all of this. And listening to the CEO (who is the culture) doesn't seem they want to fix it.

When doing root cause analysis there is a pyramid with people problems at the top, then deeper technical problems, process problems, culture problems and value problems.

Most root cause analysis stops with people problems, or technical problems while all the root cause analysis I've done never showed that problems end there. Culture and value have often been the underlying causes.

"The common throughline is a broken culture where deviance is normalized and those who speak out are ignored."

The must read on the issue says so too.

"The Seven Signs of Ethical Collapse: How to Spot Moral Meltdowns in Companies", Marianne M. Jennings

For one, Soviet Russia together with the German Reich sliced Europe in two parts on the map and then invaded Poland together with Germany.

After that one mad dictator was faster than the other.

So it's just a random number. Based on the CI projects I've been involved in its around $1M.

Interesting, could you point me to the source of the $250k?

"You can rely on Fastmail for service and support, and trust that your personal information is protected."

Not if I get into a dragnet by Australian security services.

Wanted to get away from Gmail. Evaluated Fastmail, Protonmail, Mailbox.org and Posteo. Posteo went out because it doesn't do custom domains on principle, Protonmail went out because search is an issue with encrypted mails at rest. I'm not using Email for something that is illegal (journalism, opposition, ...) in my country, so encryption at rest has only minor impact on my decision. Fastmail looked nice with features but keeping my mail in the EU weighted more. Now that I no longer run a large website, I like the GDPR ;-)

In the end migrated to Mailbox.org on my own domain, went smoothly and I'm quite happy now.

Minor gripe: I wish Mailbox.org would understand IMAP is an API like every other API and provide unique API keys for applications (like GMail does).

(As someone who buys Apple since 25+ years) Apple pricing has never been cost driven, but value and brand driven.

You got a dirt cheap printer because you're paying with supplies. Printer heads are the normal price.
