Are there any widely available, published threat models for secret management of this sort? It seems to me that if you want to frame the discussion in a useful way, you'd start there. Then you can point out where current practice works

This general approach is true within all Jewish traditions. For example, if you get sick on Shabbat you're allowed to drive to the hospital (and doctors are allowed to help you), or if you're ill during Rosh Hashana you don't

IMO this is even more outrageous than civil asset forfeiture. You get behind on property tax, the government balloons the debt 5x or 10x with fines, then they seize your home and sell it to pay the fines - and keep the profit! In one case m

My point is that "kill 'em" is exactly what we've already done to them, but we're too cowardly to admit it.

It's been over 20 years. Let 'em go or kill 'em, and close the base. And never do anything like this again. There is no best outcome, only least worst outcome, at this point. EDIT: and for the downvoters, you realize that if

Open-source is de facto closed source if you don't build your own stuff (and know how to debug it). That's the status most OSS users are in, I suspect. I run Linux but I've never compiled a kernel and I've never run a

Reputation isn't what it used to be. Which tech news org is willing to risk the wrath of LG, losing early access, losing invitations to events. Money can buy reputation, so as long as the revenue from ads exceeds the cost to repair rep

My wife and I were older than you both when we had two healthy kids. Don't beat yourself up. Correlation != causation. You won a bad lottery, a lottery that young parents 'win' too. Small comfort I know, but that's the t

Well, this law would be pretty bipartisan, I would think. Who likes it when their employer counter-party does these things? No-one. And as long as worker voters outnumber employers, workers can pass laws eliminating these degrees of freedo

I think that's a reasonable take, TBH. But for a moment consider the missed opportunity here. I'm about to be persona non grata, and its my final farewell. Am I going to limit myself to "Thanks"? No. I want to say some

Now I'm thinking. As someone who's started businesses before and hired people - am I not empathizing enough with the employer? What would I do in this situation? I guess the answer to that is simple: first and foremost, I'd a

>Telling a lie or pretending to be someone is not a crime or illegal in civil law. It should be. Times have changed, and now it is possible to impersonate someone "perfectly". This has a negative impact on both the one being

I begin to see why capitalism works and also why it sucks . It works because it encourages people to find the crack into which they pour their intelligence, no matter how small. Capitalism is fractal in its complexity! Value is like a ve

You assume I'm ignorant and grumpy, though. My response to the ghost was simply to say that last post wasn't me, and I really was thankful to work with a great bunch of people. However, the possibility that an employer will post a

Tell me, how would I even find out? If you're locked out of your account, how would you know who's posting as you, in general? Personally, I think there needs to be a hard limit on speaking as someone else. The company can say wha

I'm not so interested in damages - I suppose this shows my lack of legal training in the way I asked the question! TBH I find it intensely creepy and BAD that an employer might post as you under any circumstances. It feels like I&#x2

I'm in the US, working as a contractor (W-2 to the contractor, who I assume has something like a 1099 with the primary employer). The employer is in Madison, Wisconsin. I am in Florida. As for the contract, I think it's safe to as

I also love Waffle House's food despite, maybe even because, it's 'bad'. Their waffles are legit good; the rest is coffee shop slop of the highest order. Recommended. (Glad Bourdain had the guts to say this)

Oh yes, I remember being inspired by the idea of reversible compute. That very much appeals to the physicist in me. But it was vague even back then, and resurfacing with this nonsense about needing a big team to make any progress tells me a

The lack of specifics about this technology plus the lack of communication led me to believe early on that it was not real. The notion that progress can only move forward with a large team, vs a small one, seems more like an argument you us
