Since he could've been valued at up to 3x what the company was paying him, why doesn't that make the company the con artist?

Fines for data breaches is one idea? If we want to disincentivize data hoarding, the main cost to data hoarding is data breaches, so we could perhaps penalize that. This would have a different issue, specifically companies would no longer s

"super" seems a bit generous. Actions runners have always felt slow to me. Fast enough to get the job done for CI/CD but for a batch job running it locally would be faster. This idea does leech free compute in an API-agnostic
