It seems that the U.S. approach to “cyber” defense is a complete shit show... I can’t imagine the level of incompetence and bureaucracy that led to this Solarwinds oversight - this is amateur hour stuff.

Can we apply this thinking to all of the crooked "financial advisors" and mutual fund managers ripping off working class 401k holders?

This is comical... As a Robinhood trader, I feel much less "misled" than I did when I was forced to invest in American Funds through an employers 401k plan. The mutual fund managers were scraping piles of money off my and my cowor

This ad only affirms my decision to buy and use Apple devices and services, and further reinforces my generally negative view of FB.

Kutcher seems to inject himself into investing culture in the sleaziest most classless ways... reminds me of when Kutcher was chumming around with WeWork’s egomaniac founder. Guy is a vaporware PowerPoint deck in sneakers.

What’s ludicrous about “Flash Boys”?

...but your examples are completely unrelated to the conversation we're having here. Censoring content to millions of people is in no way similar to requiring a dentist to be properly trained and licensed.

Using the Chinese version of Skype, which the CCP certainly has backdoor access to surveil without warrant or oversights of any kind. Regarding the source code thing: you’re either not paying attention or you’re a CCP propagandist. https:&

What is the GRU? Do you understand that Facebook is in fact an American owned and operated entity?

If TikTok were a flappy bird clone... we wouldn't be having this conversation. It was not being banned "for the sole reason" that it's of Chinese origin, it's the fact that the app is essentially a mass surveillance

These apps have been re-built from the ground up in accordance with Chinese rules to work in China and the source code of these apps has been completely disclosed to the Chinese Communist apparatus. Do you think any one of those apps is aut

You seem to be implying that a nation has no right to make policy aimed at defending itself from foreign threats (perceived or material)... because the nation has had a buffoon for POTUS for the last 4 years...?? The number of logical falla

Because TikTok is a software asset of a foreign adversary known to engage in covert activities and which is diametrically opposed ideologically with nearly everything the U.S. (however flawed) stands for. How is this so difficult for you to

by jtdev 6y ago
Yeah, because they’ve already banned every U.S. app for Chinese consumers via other measures, i.e., “Great Firewall”. Your comment and perspective is either naive or disingenuous.

Why can’t Facebook just list the position and hire you when it’s demonstrated that you’re the only qualified candidate in existence? We have an actual problem with body shops abusing these programs to the detriment of workers - why do peopl

Maybe. American working class students have been priced out of many top academic programs, yet foreign students continued to pile in, solidifying the prohibitive cost of these programs. How is that a good thing? I’m personally happy to see

Do you think Xi and Modi would be allowing their citizens to work and study in the U.S. if it were not advantageous to China and India?

It’s about balance... what SV is doing with H1B is not about keeping the U.S. at “the forefront of scientific research”.

And many students choose to return to their origin countries... some of these countries are even exerting influence on our academic institutions, e.g., China’s “Confucius Institute” model. If you think that’s in the interest of the U.S. you

Talent and skill development also happen in the workplace... so requiring U.S. companies to hire U.S. workers serves the nation. We see a similar issue in academia, where top programs have a huge cohort of foreign students - students who ar

Junk made in China by impoverished and forced labor + union busting and poor wages in fulfillment = Jeff Bezos and his executives becoming even fatter cats.

You prefer a system where dictators and authoritarians concentrate power and the populace has no means of even airing concerns, much less reigning in dangerous leaders???

China moves fast at the expense of the environment, safety, individual rights, etc. I do agree though, balance is important; The U.S. seems to have excessive regulation and burdensome bureaucracy in many domains (public infra) and regulator

What does NPM/yarn do better than virtualenv/pip? “Added 17000332 packages (including is-even) 875 vulnerabilities found, have fun with that info. Yours truly, NPM”

In hindsight... maybe git hasn’t solved that many problems.
