Funny, for me the article reads like a ode to saying yes to life, not the other way round..

Great insight & nice read! Thanks

It’s wild to me that anyone would agree to go on a work trip where they are expected to share the room where they are sleeping. What an insane thing from a company to want.

So they want to save a few bucks for which I am expected to trade not just my privacy but also my good night rest (who knows if one of us snores) against a few dollars of profit margin for my employer?

If they cannot afford sending me on a business trip they probably shouldn’t do so.

What kind of company are doing so?

AFAIK spice just has been succeeded, i forget for what exactly but after the switch everything was better one worked out it the box. I think for virtIO…

> I can solve virtually any technical challenge that I am presented, given enough time (usually 1/10th the time needed by my colleagues) and yet I seem to get in trouble more times than others for the reasons above.

Apparently you have not solved the problems of how to find the right group and company yet. Either you are in the wrong room or just delusional.

Absolutely. At several startups, getting a simple €20–50/month Hetzner server meant rounds with leadership and a little dance with another department to hand over a credit card. With AWS, leadership suddenly accepted that Ops/Dev could provision what we thought was right. It isn’t logically compelling, but that’s why the cloud gained traction so quickly: it removed friction.

But this implies that any small plastic home router using libCurl can fetch its updates via PQ safe https?

Could take ipv6 ages to have this standardised and rolled out the most parts of the internet and IOT. Might make sense to do now if you want to be able to shut down that last non PQ safe tls device in the year 2050?

The control of the supreme court as well as the demonstrated willingness to support a coup make the threat seem real.

Here is how I read OP:

It is anti American not in the sense of “I think America is a bad/immortal place” but much more in the sense of “we objectively can measure that in accordance to Americans, America is bad for Americans”.. Now this could be true or not. It is anti American. If it is fair/true or not it’s an other question.

> If what was said was really true, there would be tens of thousands of people dead by now.

But that is exactly the claim. What is your argument here? You say there cannot be a genocide because genocide is too awful?

This fits the Nordic society and political style. If police can stop pedestrians (not vehiclists) just for having red eyes and then draw their blood to fine them for THC use, that’s already a direct violation of personal freedom and bodily autonomy. Once that’s normalized, extending similar logic to monitoring communications is hardly surprising, it treats both your body and your mind as open to state inspection.

I find your tone commendable, and I hope I can extend you the same courtesy of being respectful while disagreeing.

The idea that a company offering food in some capacity can be seen as generous is, at best, confusing and possibly naïve. A company does this because it expects such a policy will extract more work for less pay. There is no benevolence in the relationship between a company and an individual — only pure, raw self-interest.

In my opinion, the best solution is not to offer benefits at all, but simply to overpay everyone. That’s far more effective, since individuals then spend their own money as they choose, and thus take appropriate care of it.

Reading the website top to bottom, I’m now unsure about the trustworthiness of a project that seems so full of itself. Passage after passage about how great it is leaves a bad aftertaste. Maybe it’s just me—unsure.

I no longer trust the authors to be honest about known shortcomings, let alone be upfront, truthful, and transparent when dealing with security issues and reported vulnerabilities.

I hope I’m wrong. Does anyone know how they’ve handled disclosures in the past?

Interesting projection. Do I understand you correctly, you know that other countries look down on you because you think they do?

Price for a box of pizza? Vs price for a hour of overtime?

Yeah this sounds bad. If the company stops giving “free” pizza bc/ someone takes not 1/8 of a pizza but 1 pizza, then you know how much they value, or rather do not value your time.

Hard to see how a manager could be this inept.

That is assuming spam can be solved. Not really sure if this can be done without a budget. Maybe it also is not possible even with a massive budget.

You mean the telephone contacts / contact list stored in iCloud and Google cloud? Probably it’s a hard problem to solve and this, using the sgx is signals best guess of an acceptable approach. I think the nsa has simpler ways to access the data in question than through signal.

“Companies have always had this and that power therefore it’s justified” is a poor argument and has absolutely no justification power for the present. Picture this, a bit further in the past, during feudalism, workers aka serfs were bound to the land owned by a lord. They were required to work the land, pay rents, and provide other services to their lord. Serfs needed permission to marry, could not leave the land without consent, and had to submit to the lord’s court for any legal disputes.

So why arbitrarily draw the line 20 years in the past and not 400 years? Only. Because something used to be in a certainty way gives us no guidance if it should be in such a way.

It’s more complicated than that, for exactly Pakistan recognizes a third sex since years. It’s just rather shitty how they do it…

Not sure about well working, but when visiting years ago, these villages here seemed more happy and prosperous than their “normal” neighbors: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zapatista_Army_of_National_L...

While there are many good answers to your question, here is mine, trying to answer as generic as possible:

Anarchy doesn't mean "everybody for themselves" in a chaotic sense. It advocates for the absence of a formal, hierarchical government, aiming for self-managed societies based on voluntary, cooperative institutions.

Here are key points:

1. Mutual Aid: Anarchists believe in mutual aid and voluntary cooperation rather than competition and individualism.

2. Horizontal Structures: They support horizontal organization without hierarchies, promoting collective decision-making.

3. Community Defense: Anarchist communities often organize collective defense mechanisms to protect individuals from oppression.

The concern about groups oppressing individuals is valid, but anarchists argue that decentralized, community-based approaches can mitigate this better than centralized power structures, which often lead to greater systemic oppression.

Victim blaming.

Yes the killed journalists were in a country that was being attacked by a foreign nation. This does not make it their fault that they were murdered.

While this might be a common occurrence in war, it does not excuse anything: if wars are fought in a way that these kill innocent people then they should not be fought in the first place. Something is not morally excusable only because it is expected when done.

Thirdly, sure the crew was investigated (here i admittedly only know what wiki has to offer) but there is no known outcome of said internal investigation.

Did the US army or its participating individuals ever get charged for killing the “collateral murder” Reuters journalists? Or for doing the same to the proximate other civilians? Or for covering it all up?

The question who is guilty by a US court does not determine the guilt of an individual in any relevant or moral way under these extreme circumstances. It just indicates if you are part of the system or if you rather are uncomfortable and need to be silenced.

You make it sounds as if one would not choose one’s spouse.

I often find controversial to correlate with interesting.
