A much larger portion of corporate programming departments will consist of temps working for large paycheques and minimal benefits.
I believe the ideal is to have EVERYONE, not merely programmers, be temps without benefits.
It is nice to have slaves without being responsible for caring for the health and well being of those slaves.
Only idiots think that AI can be creative. It can help free you to be more creative... but I suspect that is not how AI is being pushed or used in those jobs.
I do not see ads and I perform no configuration on uBlock Origin. I strongly suspect that is because NoScript is my primary defense. With those two pieces of software along with Firefox, the Internet is not so bad.
We're more than just worried - we're also heartily pissed off.
I assume you are underselling it here. If I were Canadian, I would feel betrayed. alienated, and unforgiving throughout eternity. I would consider a neighbor who thought they could take my sovereignty to be an active menace and someone to be eliminated entirely. We would be enemies. (but I would still play nice on the diplomatic stage because an unsuspecting and functionally stupid enemy is easier to overwhelm when the time is right)
How old are you that you think "commie" is an insult?
"From each, according to their ability, to each, according to their need" appears to be reasonable on the surface; however, any examination that is beyond cursory will reveal how odious of a system that is.
If you really want Communism to be taken seriously, define "need" and "ability" in rock solid terms that can not be changed by altering perspective or using logic to subvert the actual meanings that the words carry in normal conversation. Hint: It is impossible.
So you have an economic system that is easily manipulable and STARTS out with the basic assumption that the government owns everything and you get whatever the government gives you. I am telling you now, when I want to negotiate, starting out with such absolute terms is a real turn-off.
"commie" is definitely an insult to any thinking person. In other words, it doesn't take listening to propaganda to reject such things.
May I remind you that ICE has arrested and incarcerated actual US citizens.
Even more "hilariously", they have incarcerated Native Americans and even "deported" (kidnapped and sent to a foreign country) them.
Everything is a ludicrous joke that is soooo incredibly NOT funny.
Is it accurate? No idea.
It is accurate enough. If I didn't live here, I would not visit either. I don't even want to cross the border because returning has the potential to get really negative really quickly. I am white and not currently poverty stricken; although I do expect to be poverty stricken again... soon.
... heard the experience depends on skin color and luck...
Then you heard wrong. All people are in danger, skin color magnifies the danger. YOU are not safe.
Less documentation.
Say WHAT? Documentation was golden back then. We could even get schematics for the chips and motherboards. Nowadays, you can barely find manuals that explicitly cover CPU instructions and errata only... and you have to pay to get anywhere near the level of documentation that was provided freely originally.
I do not find it reassuring that a chief technology officer is pleased that he wasn't clever enough to write or test code correctly.
Bro, I understand your message, but ya gotta understand: We all start somewhere and we all make mistakes.
Shall we examine some of your earlier projects?
It's difficult to imagine what kind of "security" they think is possible on an Apple II.
As a literal security professional, I can assure you that "availability" is one of the pillars of "success". In this case, security was "violated" by having the potential to fail catastrophically (Apple II computers could be permanently damaged if you "POKE"d into the wrong area) through causing the program to crash.
Security is simple and not simple at all. It is simple in that if you take a conservative view to everything, you generally don't have to think much; however, while the conservatism confers some amount of security, it completely eliminates any creativity or possibility of using the hardware in new and different ways.
So, being more liberal in a security setting is a fine balancing act that allows creativity but reduces threats while promising new gains.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
With enough "logic" and perspective changes to accommodate that logic, you can have executive orders override any part of that 'law'.
Have you ever seen anyone with morals violate those morals gleefully? I have. Watching the mental gymnastics in their head play out in such a way as to JUSTIFY their behavior, behavior that violates their morals. If any of them sat back and reflected, they would realize the hypocritical monsters they have become.
However, some people are just gleefully self-centered and have no morals. I think the term for such people is "politician", but I can't be certain.
Politicians have been trying to remove anonymity from the Internet from basically the time their kids first told them about it.
Every single politician was born before the Internet was a twinkle in your daddy's eye. Most politicians are over 60 years old with astounding amounts of them over 80. What. The. Fuck.
They should be playing BINGO with the numbered balls, not BINGO with peoples lives and society's future.
I don't know what you do with a voting electorate that is so low information and has so little critical thinking skills that they can't see why this is a problem
You manipulate them to do what you want. That is why the situation was engineered as it has been: To take advantage of psychological weaknesses in the electorate so that manipulation is more effective.
Oh, I see why you failed to notice, you think some parts of the political system are honest and would never stoop to such levels. You are just as manipulated as the rest of the morons that you denigrate.
They are merely allowing you to use their property.
We want to create puppets that pull their own strings. - Ann Marion
