Quality of life is one thing but what happens with the bottom 20%-30% earners? Would they be able to afford living after a sudden change like this? Everyone pushed for a change but I've never seen one(so far) that talk about those that

I'm not so sure about that. Most likely, there will be a burden of proof on whoever makes a claim of this type. Just think about how many various lib's are involved in one application. If the problem lies in one of the libs, they

I did express my self poorly there. By "Sometimes they have no choice but compromise to pay their bills" I mean: Some people will take a low paid job or crazy hours to stall for time until they finish a course or to save money for

A social contract takes place when everyone contributes. If one does the work and others do the demands... it's not a "collaboration", which is a pre-requisite for a social contract. You could argue there is a social contract

I'm not sure about others but when I publish a piece of software or script it's because I needed it for something and I'm done working on it for my needs. If someone has different needs than mine they can DIY or pay someone t

I do agree that a person should "hunt" a higher reward (money + package) when they can and it's worth the hassle but... Sometimes they have no choice but compromise to pay their bills. As a side note: Some do get complacent a

If your budget is in the upper upper 5 digits range, it's trivial. If a serious attacker is set on getting your stuff, it's just a matter of time and money. It's down to how much the data is worth for the attacker.

Yes. Had them since WHF first started. We have different rules depending on the level of the meeting though. 40-50% of the meetings are low risk and they don't require removal or power off and these devices though. For medium risk or h

Personally I don't use the comp laptop for my own stuff. I remote into my machine/network at home from my personal phone. DP over usb-c works wonders with a BT keyboard. As a side note: I don't publish anything. My wife on th

tbh I wouldn't mind the peed limit being higher but introduce some sort of driving lic and exam for it with periodic re-testing. Also re-testing should be mandatory for car drivers too. Both theory, practical, reflex testing. I ride a

He does have a point though. Recurrent income is a lot better than 1 sale in any business. Scientists can have all the good will in the world if they are not allowed to publish by those sponsoring the research or not even given the funds t

I'm happy i'm too old for this s*t. So what happens now? If some guys ends up on the receiving end of regret charges, what can they do to defend themselves? Wear body cams to record all intercourse and save as a proof of consent?
