Government jobs are more value than most because they are a part of a Democratic process. That is we vote on what the government should do and then hope that the Executive branch manages to do that without being inefficient. The problem with e.g. what is happening in the US right now is that you can not get elected on efficiency and add authorian bloat yourself.

Could you expand on how someone was forced to withdraw, what timeline do you have for that?

You know I can see nothing in your comment that makes it ok for federal officers to kill people, there is nothing in there that even comes near the limit for deadly force or force in any matter.

Considering what you are saying we are heading towards a 4 degree C increase, I can not understand how you think even 2.6 is manageable. Have you read anything about what that actually means?

I can agree that people are short sighted but are you not the worst offender here?

Who will write the content?

What you say is provable false, or rather your extreme opinion is. When you use words like corruption, and talk about an edit you made on an actress page, something is off. I have done my fair share of controversial subjects on Wikipedia, and everyone of them still stands to day.

You will always use Wikipedia it is impossible to be on the net today without doing it, I have edited on several competitors they have all failed.

Salary can mean you get overtime, you have to take local laws and agreements into account. I have always gottenovertime in a salary position. I read up on US federal laws and you seem to be correct that it is not a requirement, but I promise you it is part of many agreements.

25 Gbps, 10 Gbps is ok pricewiwe nowadays, you can split it up to 2.5 Gbps internally since it is easy to get 2.5Gbps cheap. This of course depends on your usage last year I installed three dark fibre lines plus up links at max 25 Gbps, if you need it it really is cheap even over +30km. I easily saturated +25 Gbps out from that network.

This equipment can be had second hand so if you need it or want to play with it now is the time to start building. ISPs are a bit slow upgrading their infra so it was impossible to get reliable up links at 25 Gbps being in the countryside with long distances.

I really would like to have mic support via bluetooth as well.

Speedpedelecs in Denmark can ride on bikepaths since last year going to be interesting to see how that works out.

Saying that children are made of pixie dust, or children are the locust of Sars-Cov-2 are probably both a kind of misinformation.. There was a paper from finland comparing the effectiveness of closing down schools, they said that there was clear evidence that it was an ineffective way to hinder the death in the affected groups (children at school). Wether children infect lots of other people outside of that group is probaly hard to answer, I'm not sure how you would go around getting that data in an easy way.

Is this something that happens to you a lot in the Ubuntu and Python communities? If this is not an issue for you maybe you can think of an reason why we would need such rules.

ISPs can still see the hostnames of the sites you visit, that is sent in clear text because of Server Name Indication (TLS SNI). That is plenty of information.. So encrypted/signed DNS still only give you part of a solution.

Of course news orgs should pay royaltees but should Google and Twitter who do it automatically (no)?

That's a wonderful anecdote I'll probably use sometimes, the conspirationist in me thinks that it might be a wanted feature for DoE. What comes after auditing is really strange I've also come across irregularities at 25% of the budget, and the people affected did not want to take that further. So I believe you in that something like this can happen, but embezzlement is not my first guess.

Sure they did, they said that quite a lot actually, there was a complete news network dedicated to come up with new crazy things to insert there. Sometimes it's correct that the administration of the current president is the instigator of some crazy things, but motsly it's as you say just things that comes with governing. In this case, I don't know, but budget cuts of $75 million is nothing to scoff at.

I agree that we need to get away from this black and white kind of reporting it doesn't help either side in the long run. I do not know if you are a Trump supporter, but if you are then you better concentrate on the reporting in your own camp, it's better to discuss these things with people that trust your intentions. If you are not a Trump supporter then yey for you.
