So if I'm in multiple databases, as we all are, and multiple ones get breached, which one is responsible when that happens?

Honestly, I think one of the best things to happen for the rest of us is for a prominent Senator to have this happen to them. Then hopefully we'd get some legislation holding these companies responsible when they do that.

"Employees have power over the company. They can leave it for another company." While technically true, in reality, it's not nearly the amount of power that the company has over employees. For one, except in very spectacular

Wouldn't that rely on the workers having enough money in the first place to do that? Ignoring the issue of non-public companies.

But that amount of money is astronomical. People are buying the apartments and leaving them vacant as an investment, rather than using them as intended, as a residence for a person living in the city.

I would hesitate to say that the US system arose out of completely "voluntary" agreements. In the US, most employees, even if they were to band together, have nowhere near the bargaining power to be able to negotiate a seat at the

Even if they're encouraged to hire remote workers, lots of them will still choose to live in urban areas because that's where the new and exciting things are for many software devs (yes, I know not everyone is into that. I'd

So let's start providing that education. Provide it as part of these programs, and start teaching basic finance in high school.

"Imagine mandatory drug tests, ideological compliance checks, etc... in order to receive your pay check." Lots of non-tech employees have to deal with that on a regular basis from their job.

I mean, any one of us could have thought that there would be problems. But without research and experimentation like this, we wouldn't really know what those problems would be, and be able to consider fixes for those problems.

I really don't care if they "don't really want to", they're still actively choosing paths that lead to that, and don't really care.

It entirely depends on whether the phone itself has Google Play on it or not. When you distribute through the Play Store, you know that's true. When you distribute through other means, you can't be sure of that.

Only if they're the only ones using Android. Regardless of how you want to complain about this, the fact of the matter is, they're abusing their monopoly to put additional restrictions on OEMs, which is a big no-no.

Well, other than companies just not bothering with making specific Linux clients, and relying on Valve. And then when something doesn't work, the developers brush it off and say, "not my problem".
