autoexecbat··on Ethereum Foundation removes their canary
That sounds like much more of a nuanced law question than a "are these the same". While they might be able to stop you telling the world, they might not be able to force you to perform actions that cause you to lie to the public

It really doesn't matter - show me a DEI scheme that has actually had success and didn't revert to saying "it's the funnel"
autoexecbat··on Intel to Receive $8.5B in Grants to Build Chip Plants
The type of work does matter. If I had the choice between a low-pay office job and a low-pay physical labor job, many would pick the office.

It's baffling that someone thought this was a good idea
autoexecbat··on Intel to Receive $8.5B in Grants to Build Chip Plants

It's pretty clear to me that deep knowledge of how the company works and the historical quirks of how things happened, and how the tech-debt works, is considered of only small value to a typical company. I've seen countless examples of people in such positions being discarded without a thought during layoffs.

Additionally, having deep expertise in a particular technical area can protect you somewhat during a layoff, but also makes you easier to define a replacement for if there is more that one of you.

Companies will get what they pay for. They pay for short term gain.

autoexecbat··on 250M-plus reserved IPv4 addresses could be released
Consumer routers typically have a firewall. Additionally all those IoT devices are able to obtain these publicly routable ipv6 addresses already in millions of homes, its just the numbers are lower

Once you've been allocated your ASN and /32 subnet, is there any requirement that they continue to be used, or is it ok to sit on it for later use too?

autoexecbat··on Czech republic sets IPv4 end date

NASA can do so without SpaceX, they have 2 human-rated vehicles that have flown.

There is the SLS/Orion and Atlas/Starliner - they just havent actually put people in them yet

autoexecbat··on SpaceX launches 4 people for private mission to the International Space Station
BO and VG didn't go orbital, which is the real test of capability.

Being able to shoot straight up and fall back down isn't anywhere near as useful or hard as orbit.

When hiring fast, there's also an element of "we'll find something for you to do", meaning that you're expected to find something yourself. This can lead to people becoming very narrow on something that the business doesn't really value
