Even if you believe the apology...

He believed Trump would break up Big Tech...like, your judgement is wildly in question after that Mr. CEO.

and lets remember the CEO of Proton was all in for Trump. Because he *believed* Trump would break up Big Tech. lulz

If he's that astute in other biz matters...be afraid, be very afraid

the problem of having a 3rd party account vs their work email; specifically a news agency email account. FAR harder to get them to cave.

The PGP is so anyone can email that corporate email account with the text encrypted.

it being a text 'key' makes me question how resistant it would be to a court order.

They aren't forcing you to actively decrypt your backups, they're using the key you 'have' not 'know'. That's conceptually no different than a key to a lock box...and you have to turn over that key if ordered. A key isn't incriminating so it's not protected by 5th Amend.

Fun fact, the DOE program that funded Solyndra.....made MILLIONS in profit.

Total loaned $34.2 billion
Losses $780 million 2.28% default rate is damned good.
Repayment $810 million in interest payments

Hillary literally had providing them support as part of her plan.

Even now, we're talking about using drillers to build geothermal instead of gas wells. Guess who *isn't* in favor of that?

At some point, these morons need to learn the hard way.

4x more people work in Solar alone than coal. Wind is about double coal.

Makes me wonder if the dev could release the 'fix' under Norway's jurisdiction

plastic doesn't decompose in any relevant time frame - that's one of it's biggest problems. Creating fossil fuels from it only adds to our clear and present danger of CO2/climate change.

Adding more to that clear and present danger is utter stupidity.

Cue 'This is fine' meme.

Mother Nature will be the real 'downer' for you me thinks.

Most of the 'world' aren't size queens like so many people in the US.

You can tow a small or mission focused trailer with most anything. Towing a 30K lb boat is not for the feint of horsepower.

Narrator: they shouldn't be *towing* a 30K lb boat in the first place.

nailed the real problem. It's not the capability...it's the "destroy the planet for funsies"

Range will get there.

But we also need to deal with climate disaster or hauling a boat for funsies. Waaaaaay to many people in the latter category

Yep, my position title changed from Dev to Programmer to SW Engr and back perhaps a dozen times in 30 years.

The lack of qualified people made giving the few you could hire more 'impressive' titles as a minor non-monetary compensation.

entirely different but same scenario. Newark Air Traffic Control couldn't pay people enough to work there. Pay was lower than other NYC area airports and nobody wanted to work there.

They had to literally move the Newark ATC to Philly to be able to staff it.

Cost of living absolutely requires higher pay in high cost markets.
