qeqeqeqe··on The EARN IT act is an attack on end-to-end encryption
Why is a search warrant on electron data not comparable to a search warrant for some physical documents?
qeqeqeqe··on Coke and Pepsi are getting sued for lying about recycling
They have money so they are being sued.
qeqeqeqe··on Mats Järlström’s victorious 6-year battle over yellow lights
Yeah, looking at the lists of violations makes it pretty clear that the system is obsolete. These are the same people that claimed they could fine every single engineer working at Intel for not technically being certified.
qeqeqeqe··on Mats Järlström’s victorious 6-year battle over yellow lights
I'm pretty sure anyone that works on something that kills people "could" be charged manslaughter. The entire PE system seems antiquated and obsolute.
qeqeqeqe··on Mats Järlström’s victorious 6-year battle over yellow lights
Are there many examples in the real world of this actually happening?

I didn't realize that one's knowledge and skill is a function of location.
qeqeqeqe··on Announcing Our New ISA Financing Blueprint and $100M in New Financing
It's not too late to learn. Just start playing around with stuff
qeqeqeqe··on Pay up or we’ll make Google ban your ads
Or (more likely) because they are not allowed to by policy.
qeqeqeqe··on Google cuts jobs at cloud-computing group
It's not like any one uses hadoop or kubernetes and has any success am I right?
qeqeqeqe··on Google cuts jobs at cloud-computing group
But we do know AWS's operating margin which is 29%. Spending a little to gain market share in a high margin business seems sound to me.
qeqeqeqe··on Google cuts jobs at cloud-computing group
20% over the top of the market value.
qeqeqeqe··on Google cuts jobs at cloud-computing group
Not every employee that is hired is really top tier, there are probably some average people that get through. Also people can get lax and complicit.

Amazon lets people go regularly, I don't get what the issue is.
qeqeqeqe··on Toward _FORTIFY_SOURCE Parity Between Clang and GCC
Clang has mostly caught up to GCC and suppressed it in many others ways. It's probably somewhat bad in the long run since LLVM/Clang seems to have more devs contributing to it now.
qeqeqeqe··on Apple engineer killed in Tesla crash had previously complained about autopilot
It's still safer than not having it.
qeqeqeqe··on Investigating the Performance Overhead of C++ Exceptions
I suggest that people read Bjarne Stroustrup's recent paper on why exceptions are necessary to see the counter point http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2019/p194...
qeqeqeqe··on Investigating the Performance Overhead of C++ Exceptions
Bjarne Stroustrup wrote a rebuttal to that proposal http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2019/p194...
qeqeqeqe··on Clang vs. other open-source compilers
This info is from 2007, the title should reflect that. This is not a useful post.
qeqeqeqe··on Google's expansion plans show why Canada's tech boom is here to stay
That source you cite literally says that "45% of Google employees are programmers."
qeqeqeqe··on Google's expansion plans show why Canada's tech boom is here to stay
It's obviously going to be mostly engineering, it's Google.

How is opening 5000 new jobs in Canada a sign that Google is "extremely centralized"? In regards to your Munich example, what exactly is the issue with that? If there's a large amount of talent in some area why wouldn't you want to try and compete for it? Anyway, I have a good feeling that office will grow soon, there's plenty of non-hardware and chip design talent in that area :) You do have to start somewhere though. I will also make an educated guess that Google isn't hiring just junior people, and even if they were, they would grow into more senior roles anyway.
qeqeqeqe··on EU lawmakers snub Apple's pleas, vote to push for charging cable standard
And then wait 20 years for everyone to agree?
