Our company only uses teams in eastern europe. The cost is 1/3 the salary of someone in the US. Remote work during covid improved remote management and communication, which is needed to fully outsource workers.

I'm not sure how I feel about these kinds of projects. While it may help with grief, it may never give someone the closure they need and give them false memories of their loved ones (AI said something the loved one never said).

During Covid, many of the Hackers in the infosec community supported government-mandated vaccination (this was what I saw through Twitter). I think this changed my view of activists and hackers after this. It's authoritarian-minded peo

Counterexample: as soon as these policies stopped, crime dramatically increased.

The idea is that with more police presence, criminals will think twice before attempting anything. Standing around is part of this. A good example of this is NYC around 2000. It worked.

When generations of people are on UBI,and this is all they know, the system starts to require more capital and tax revenue, until it collapses. I think one other aspect of this system is that if you are getting UBI, you give up your voting

This will work in the short term, but over time, less and less companies will want to fund something that will be taxed at such a high rate. I also think that if this much tax money is going to enable people to not work, the people paying t

I think the sentiment is there because there hasn't been enough testing of mRNA-based vaccines and we are now seeing life threatening side effects. The other issue is that big pharma has immunity from most lawsuits. The Democrats used

I used to phish scammers for fun. Most are greedy and stupid. My favorite tactic was to get them to click on a link (usually pretending to be to my bank account, or something they want, actually pointing to my domain) and then have a fake r

I loved learning, but hated college. Professors are petty and many times want you to learn their way of doing things and 99% of the students I met only cared about a career. I was a compsci major in the late 90s and it was seen as a ticket

My best job (for the last decade) for a software engineering job was a 1 hour technical interview followed by a 1 hour interview with the director. It helped that it was 90 days contract to hire.
