On the surface this sounds great, but governmental organizational units are still able to pressure one another, or have third parties apply pressure.

Governments should not operate fiscally like corporations. A financial institution will budget around fees because it's in their benefit for their customers to incur fees. A government should not budget around fines because they want t

It's not "just 250k." There are different classifications that the insurance covers. For example, a trust account (considered any account with a beneficiary listed) should cover 250k + 250k per beneficiary, with a cap (might

USPS doesn't technically need to be profitable. It's a service guaranteed by the Government. Government services do not need to turn a profit. Yes, currently the service is expected to fund itself. This is short sighted and has pr

I think this is good retort to what was argued. What's missed in me saying roll your own auth, even though I did say it, is that you aren't implementing the network stack or crypto. As long as you keep your dependencies up to date

But being popular can be very important for practitioners. How else are you going to hire other practitioners?

This is not a critique of LLM usage, just on individual contributions to the environmental crisis. It's fairly popular to claim that you as an individual have no significant effect on the environment and that it's the actions of t

The claim that because your boss tells you to do something illegal means that you should just do it is bullshit. It's your social responsibility to not capitulate under these circumstances. If you don't feel that way then you dese

Yeah, superuser accounts? Of course you need them to exist. Superuser accounts that produce no logs? There is never a reason for that. Anyone who claims they should have a superuser with no logging is up to no good.

66k/80k for income sounds like a median, whereas $2,715 sounds like a mean housing cost. A quick search found between $1,500-$2,000 a month for median rent prices. If you adjust for a $1,600 rent, your above person is left with 3k, bef

Hits close to home. Apart from what was a family PC (terribly cheap), my main rig for a time was assembled via old junk the computer lab at school was done with but wasn't valuable enough (or fully functional) to say no when I asked if
