Plenty of people do. My first and middle names are 2 of the most common men's names for the last 40 years and I'm fine with that. Your daughters may well grow up agreeing with you or resenting you. If you'd named them Jennifer and Mary they may have thanked you for not leaning into a trend and picking something stupid like Apple, or they may always yearn to be unique and different.

TL;dr- YOU don't want a banal name for your children, but you have no idea how that's going to work out long term.

Wouldn't we expect Bing to log/analyze/correlate user behavior as hard as they possibly can? Or are you betting that Firefox at least won't cooperate with Bing in such an endeavor because it's not a Microsoft product?

I am sure people will knee-jerk dismiss the following, but it's almost as if Google has been invaded and conquered and turned into an Indian/Chinese/non-American company with a vast majority of the salary wealth flowing into the hands of those who have diminished allegiances to the USA or American values or even western values and that value is flowing out of the USA and into the hands of non-Americans by various means and methods, including remittances.

Who would have known considering the Google CEO is an Indian paper-American that still has such a strong Indian accent that he is largely unintelligible even after 24 or so years in the USA.
I'm sure Twitter and GitHub are close, plus any other funded, growing tech company with HQ in the bay area.

Established companies like IBM, Cisco, etc. probably won't be close. You're looking for companies that are relatively recently founded and funded.
I think it contributes to the loss of morality in software. There might also be an element of cultural unfamiliarity and assuming behavior is normal and acceptable.
I would like to, but the more I think about it, the more envious I feel. It sounds like you have a peaceful life, or could if you'd stop worrying about not being worried about privacy! :)

I think that privacy is important for a couple of reasons:

1) I don't trust marketers with data. My education is in marketing, so I understand the mindset. Hell, I know I could make significantly more in the marketing industry, but I don't want to be socialized into that mindset.

2) Privacy provides a private space upon which we can build identity. Identity provides the foundation for the rest of our human rights. I have a very good friend who happens to be a trans woman. She describes her process as having the freedom to take baby steps alone in the privacy of her home until she had a strong enough identity to start to be more out to friends, then family and finally just out.

3) I have a child and feel I should err on the side of her privacy until she's old enough to decide to trade privacy for free stuff.

But, if you can convince me that it's not worth worrying about these things, I'm open to hearing your arguments. I'd like to be convinced I'm wrong!

What, specifically, are Apple’s well documented issues? They have fought for user privacy in court cases and in the court of public opinion over the last couple of years.
The "r" is an interesting one. I only recently found out that the "r" isn't pronounced in many words by most of the English in England. It was thanks to some homework that one of my children came home with. It had a list of homophones for them to practice, and on that list were "saw" and "sore", which both me and my wife thought must have been added by mistake because for both of us "saw" and "sore" have distinct pronunciations. So we did a bit of research. What we found was that English as spoken in England is considered "non-rhotic" where the "r" isn't pronounced before a consonant or at the end of words (hence "saw" and "sore" are both pronounced "sau"), whereas myself and my wife come from countries where the language / accent is "rhotic" and the "r" is pronounced (so "saw" and "sore" are pronounced as they are spelled).
There are no perfect alternatives, just imperfect ones.

Apple has their own issues, but they've claimed that their business is selling you a device and software and media to run on it, and making their money from that as opposed to reselling your data. Everything they've been doing lately supports that stance, and they've already recognized it as a differentiation, hence the way they have been up-playing the privacy features of their devices lately. Since they aren't selling you as much after the fact, they are going to charge you more up-front, and since they make their money selling software, they're obsessed with controlling the marketplace.

Google gives away software and media, and sells your personal data and advertising. They're showing increasingly that they don't care about your privacy if it affects their bottom line.

You have to decide which of those business models you support, and then support it. There's no third model where a business gives everything away and cares about your privacy. That's inconsistent with a bottom line of making money, and at the end of the day that is what the business is trying to do.

For a while Google gave the impression that they cared, until they established a large enough market, and now you're seeing them make the natural transition. They've grew their cash cow by giving away stuff, now they are milking it.

Any rational company with their business model is going to do the same thing though, so if you jump ship to another ecosystem now selling you a business model that is too good to be true, don't be surprised down the line when that proves to be the case.
Oath attempts to be competitive in pay. The problem you're hearing is that no job is going to be perfect. Working at Google isn't all it's made out to be because of course it's not. They'd have you believe that the moment you step foot as a new hire at Google, your life will be filled with purpose, you'll become more fit, and you're given a free ticket to heaven. Of course that's ridiculous because no job does that for you. You make your own life and find happiness by creating your own purpose. A company can never provide that for you.

The thing is, it probably won't affect your life. There's millions of people willingly giving up their information to the internet, and it's not like every single one of them, or even a majority, will face any consequences.

But what if you suddenly decided to change the world and become a politician? Well, I sure hope you never directly googled for some particular genre of pornography, specially if it's something that's widely frowned upon.

And that's just one example. The thing is, if Google, Facebook, etc. ever want something from you, they probably have the power to destroy your life if you don't give it to them.

Do you really trust each and every tech company with access to your data that they won't ever use it to cause you some sort of harm?

And what about governments? No, I am not talking about your fancy democratic government, I'm sure others will point out what's wrong with that assumption. I'm talking about those "russian hackers" the USA is so confused about.

Chances are, google knows enough about you to piece together who you're likely to vote for. What if they start targetting you with ads meant to mobilize voters, because they know you're likely to vote the "right" party? Or what if they bombard you with stories about how democracy is broken anyway, and elections are manipulated, because they think you might vote for the "wrong" party?

"But google would never do that" I hear you say... "And if they did, I wouldn't fall for it"

If you knew about it you wouldn't, but you wouldn't know. These things do work, otherwise google wouldn't be so filthy rich with their dozens of products that they run at a deficit for years. Ads work. Online manipulation works.

What does that have to do with the "russian hackers" I mentioned above? Well, what do hackers usually do? Right, they hack. What if google gets hacked? Suddenly another nations government has access to millions of (insert your country)s citizens to manipulate.

"But google won't get hacked, and neither would facebook"

Sure, I won't hack either of them and neither will you. But we're not the Chinese government, with as much money to throw at a room of programmers as it takes for them to make it happen.

And what about third party contractors? They may not have the same security standards or resources to protect your data.

I could go on and on about this, but I'll leave that for others.

In conclusion: Privacy does matter maybe in the same way climate change does. It's not like driving your car for an hour will make it one degree hotter all of a sudden. It's a complex process that nobody fully understands and that's very hard to grasp, yet everybody who spends time researching the subject certainly agrees that there is great importance in it and it does affect all of humanity on a scale beyond what we see in our day to day lives.

EDIT:

Why did I even bother writing all of that? Just read [this](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stasi) and you should get an idea of why you should value complete and unconditional privacy.
I think you'd be hard-pressed to find those jobs as they would be exceedingly rare. FAANG companies can typically offer those salaries because they have the pipeline / structure to make new developers valuable and have the bankroll to support those salaries while you learn. Smaller companies without as much cash can't make that sort of investment.

If those sort of jobs exist for new hires, and I'm not sure they do for new grads, they'd most likely be small, extremely well-funded startups and they would be looking for a very specific skillset to drive value quickly (and typically a new grad wouldn't have those kinds of skills).

My two cents. I'm a decade past the new grad hustle and I haven't really kept my ear close to the ground, but I haven't heard of anything like what you are seeking.
Well if you look at how you get compensated at a FAANG company you get

- salary

- bonus

- equity(in the form of restricted shares)

Note that the last one is often the kicker that can make you money. if your company does well this last component can dwarf all the others.

So maybe start by looking at who compensates in the same manner:

- Hedge Funds

- Bulge Bracket firms on Wall Street

- Lower status tech companies (your Twitter, Dropbox, etc), note, not intending to insult these companies, just pointing out that they aren't as desirable places to work as FAANG's.

- ICO funded companies. They have sooooo much money and they'll spend it all.

If you want to h ave a comfortable retirement then diversify your portfolio.

If you want to be wealthy then you usually have to concentrate. Look at all the wealthy people you know, almost all will have earned their wealth from a single source. They tend to diversify later on in life.

At an old job I managed to snag a 30" monitor from a colleague who was moving to a different job. He managed to get it in the brief window that it was offered instead of 26" ones. When I announced that I was moving on, the vultures started circling over who would get the monitor.

The inventory sheet will never be reconciled over that monitor, unless it breaks.

Just to open a bank account, with no credit line, I had to provide my entire residence history including flats [ie apartments, ~condos] I'd stayed in decades ago. I was already a customer with that bank for the decades since I'd lived temporarily in those flats.

Census data indicates abode and no doubt one can buy a listing of addressees at a residence over a particular period from the post-office. Not sure how you can fake that except to be an immigrant, then you need papers for that.

I'm shadowbanned, it's not for general viewing. If view flagged/dead is turned on I think they can handle it. If it was a normal comment what's the point in having view flagged/dead turned on? It's in part for schadenfreude.

TIL "ski rental problem". Makes sense that this would be an entire class of problem.

So its just a lite 'Studio' distro with lowlatency kernel?? I think I make moat of those changes anyway just for gaming. Calling an OS 'audiophile' is bordering on asinine. Will they sell me branded 'hi-fi' usb and power cables too? Seems odd that most people taken by the fraud of this segment of the market are those who should know better. If you think your ears somehow measure more acutely than calibrated test equipment, you reject basic science.

Oddly, none of the 'upgrades' mentioned do anything for sound quality, barring your WM stuttering your sound. The LL kernel causes as many dropouts as it solves unless setup for recording with a small buffer for monitoring purposes. A large buffer with a basic kernel will always be more reliable when using a reasonable pc. Underruns are almost always disk operations.

A company is not either "good" or "evil"; it's not binary, there's no evil bit in corporate ethos. Some companies are more evil than others, and to pretend everything slots into either "good" or "evil" and all "evil" companies are equivalent is an act of cowardice. Working for IBM during the Holocaust is not comparable to working at Zynga during the peak of Farmville. It is dishonest to look at your own life from a standpoint of pure rationalism and reject your own humanity, your own human experience, and how your actions affect other people's lives.

> can we release a rat specific poison or is that impossible without harming the entire ecosystem?

Many cities, like Baltimore, have an entire department devoted to "rat eradication" (https://publicworks.baltimorecity.gov/Rat-Eradication). Some have a "rat czar"

"Eradication" is a bit of a misnomer because it is not possible to actually eliminate rats from a city. The goal is to keep them from getting out of control. However bad a rat problem is, it can get much worse if unchecked.

These programs use a combination of public education, on-demand services (poison, burrow-treatments), and other interventions like city codes for proper garbage containers/handling etc.
And as the cure involves a bone moving upstream it's probably a "safe" recipe.. very difficult to actually test it.
That can certainly be the case, but it isn't really relevant in this case. Google have a infamous interview process, a very recognisable brand and essentially only hires in major location. Being able to walk across the street and get a new job is one major feature why people want to work for companies as Google and why they tolerate things like the interview process and high rents in the first place.
It's kind of different for enterprise. The acquisition cycle is often to expose a good product to a more deeply entrenched sales system. Acquired companies have proven they have a product that enterprise companies are willing to buy (and go to some pain to do so), but they don't have the ability to sell anything anywhere that someone like Salesforce, IBM, or Atlassian can do.
> Some things are worth the fight, some are not.

That argument goes both ways. If the Chrome team were unionized/organized in some form, and said "hell no" to the cookie change, then I doubt Google's management would shrug and replace the whole team with fresh H1B workers just to get this small change in.

I also find it fascinating that so many people bring up children as a reason to give up your ideals. My dad gave up a well-paying job for a more fulfilling one, and it would never occur to me to blame him for it; if anything it's inspiring. This was in Europe, with a reasonable safety net, but I don't think that Xooglers would hit rock bottom anyway.

I'm curious what they expect Facebook to do in this situation. I get that these moderators have to look at disturbing imagery, but that's the job they signed up for. It's not like Facebook can only show them nice images, it's their job to look at those horrible images. I don't think Facebook was sugar coating the job description or anything.

This feels like a class action lawsuit brought by garbage workers because they have to handle trash all day long.
Because the call doesn't support rolling back partial progress. Imagine if you interrupted `mount`, and it had written to the directory table but hadn't yet initialized the underlying filesystem and now the kernel reads uninitialized memory whenever you look at that directory (or, less disastrously, the mutex that protects that table is left locked and you can never mount or unmount anything ever again).
This tl;dr really skips over the insightful substance of the article.
Maybe they do. Maybe you just don't know about it because they're extorting everybody who knows about it. How can you be sure?
