On a practical basis, I would agree as somebody that fits a number of protected categories, and have had to work around this.

Ethically, this is why we have organizations like the ACLU, ADA, and many, many others to be the enforcement with teeth. It's an uphill battle. I would disagree in the sense that pushing back against censorship - particularly of minorities - has many battlegrounds, not just enforcement with teeth. Greater social awareness/acceptance, education (history of blacklisting of sexual minorities for example), grassroots activism of simply supporting authors at risk of being deplatformed ... no sense in ignoring a tool that's available.

> There have been people getting cancelled in very large number for thousands of years.

Yeah, and while the right loves to use “lynching” as a metaphor for the public criticisms they get that they also label as “cancel culture”, it's worth noting that when the cancel culture shoe was on the other foot regarding race issues, the lynchings (including of Whites) for expressing the wrong views were, frequently, not at all metaphorical.

Unfortunately Google is making it much harder to run ROMs now due to the new Safety-Net bootloader checks. You'll no longer to be able to use many bank apps (or even the McDonalds app!).
One thing that I really think a lot of SE teams should do is to include a full time BA with them, to fend off irrelevant requirements, mine real requirements and write requirement docs on Confluence. I'm currently in that position, but sadly I'm in a business team, not in SE team, which makes my work only half relevant.

The perfect BA should be someone directly from a SE team but with more people skills and are willing to take the burden of that position. He should be expected to increase the efficiency of the WHOLE team by say 20%.
3 of the 5 factors you list boil down to being able to make the right decision because of outside factors. In this case, the aunt. Without that single person, I imagine things might have been different.

> The government can not and should not lift people out of poverty if those people refuse to work to better themselves.

3 of those 5 factors began with "As a youth..."

The government can and should help the youth lift themselves out of poverty regardless of the situations of their parents or other situations. They lack many rights that adults have, and in exchange for that, they deserve better support then demanding children should simply "work to better themselves."
I don't think the discussion will ever get anywhere if we only compare polar opposites.

I'm not advocating for either extremity, what about you?
The last sentence is especially true. I hate writing code most days, now. There's nothing interesting about the problems most companies are trying to solve, for example.
> - To what extend is this fixed by the mitigations which the kernel provides [0] for the Intel bugs? What do I have to add to my kernel command line?

The key part of this post is "In my lab, on a vulnerable Fedora" which means that the author is using an old, known-vulnerable version of Fedora on which to do their testing.

You don't have to do anything other than be running a reasonably modern version of the kernel that gets updates from -stable or from your distro.

BTW, this is a Spectre-v1-style exploit. These are EXTREMELY widespread across lots of processors with conditional branch speculation. It's (relatively) unrelated to the family of things like MDS or Spectre-v2 where microcode updates were issued.

Disclaimer: I work on Linux at Intel, occasionally on mitigation for this stuff.
But does the Chinese company fund your pension plans, pay wealth back to the government, and employ tax paying citizens in America? Where do you want to asset valuations to be located - in your own nation, or another?
So, a TC chaser is easier to get to do hard work. These are the people that you can have take on big meaty things, take honest criticism, put their ego aside, and focus on the entire effort.

What we often forget about 'passion' is that it can also manifest as toxic ego. I have to work exceptionally hard to control the toxic ego within myself, and money is the focusing thing.

Do I want to manifest as a creative artist now, OR do I want to retire early?

I have biased for retiring early and gaining perspective such that my future art is at the next level. For instance, my future art is finishing my silly language: http://www.adama-lang.org/

Instead of chasing down donations and trying to build a sustainable open source company, I'll just collect my 3.5% from my portfolio and have fun. I'll dance in the field.
Maybe they are spreading rhe risk, now i can be spied on by agencies with conflicting interests, so noone has a complete picture?

"generally white and male forum"

Ok, let us look at your examples and see how "white males" fared in it, right?

"same-sex marriages illegal" - white male gays had no exception.

"Hitler and Franco" - the first one massacred helluva lot of white males (Czechs, Poles, Russians, Ukrainians etc.). The second one led a civil war against whom? White male Spanish republicans.

"mass shooting of a synagogue" - are Jewish people white or not in your book? Because they seem to be considered white whenever affirmative action applies or Israeli-Palestinian conflict is being discussed (ironically so, given that random Israelis and Palestinians are hard to tell apart by color of their skins).

This is just an awful argument. It's basically "things used to be worse, so you shouldn't say it's still bad".
Maybe because of recent events in Texas? Makes sense to me.
I thought a fingerprint is to be used like a username and not as password?
Thank you for this analogy.

Because...yes. So much yes. Even had this person engaged in crime ('to feed his family!'), but still come out of it on top, we'd be saying "see? Even with those slip ups, he did the right thing most of the time and came out on top", but then we turn around and three strikes, lock someone else up for decades. And we don't know the people who failed, despite doing everything 'right', who died homeless and malnourished.
It's funding. If the transportation agency had money in their budget, they could just build it as far as I'm aware. Most transportation agencies don't have enough slush money to randomly build a bridge. Taxes are unpopular, people don't want to spend that much. It also means the cost is localized, so the tax increase would be higher since it's over fewer people.

The way I rationalize it is that despite the fact that it might be a bridge in Nowhere, West Virginia, it will likely have wide-reaching impacts. More trucking routes helps almost everything. If I'm a visitor, I'm going to use the bridge, so I should pay some part of that.
> iOS, being a Unix, has always supported files and directories in full. It wouldn’t be able to work otherwise.

Last time I checked, UNIX and POSIX go hand in hand, no one is moving goalposts here.

The existence of a file system has nothing to do with UNIX, unless you now mean only UNIX has filesystems.

I signed up just to respond to you because I live in Phoenix and there is no affordable housing here in a desirable neighborhood. There are no single family homes under 200K in Phoenix. A decent started sized home will cost you almost 300K and good luck finding one. That example you gave is a home that is in an area you wouldn't want to send your kids to the schools, walk around at night, and crime has been rampant in Maryvale since the 1990s and has been getting worse. There is a reason its priced like that. On a side note the home's yard is very small and is near Desert SkyMall which has had multiple shooting and deaths over the last few years. Just google desert sky mall shootings.
Could you elaborate your point?
> You can’t force someone to provide their business at a loss.

Of course not. But no one is forced to provide the ad funded service at all.
Nobody is actually offended by this sort of stuff, it's just one more weapon in the culture war.
Citing the time to charge an empty car is such a disingenuous argument; if you have ever lived with an EV you'd know that's very rarely what you do. Instead you top off what you consumed earlier, typically once daily. So unless you are counting the very atypical cross-county drive, you don't need nearly that much.

That said, I don't believe carrying panels around to be a very practical nor attractive option.
I just bought the same phone as a gift for my girlfriend, and was considering getting one for me one day since it's a really nice piece of hardware for the price.

They're just labels. Good polls are hard to do, and so it is quite hard to know whether these labels hold value in mainstream thought. For e.g. Do people under oppressive/spying regimes see Google in the same light when it comes to data collection?

I am currently interning with a national laboratory but would like to keep my eye out for other opportunities, and there are some awesome employers here on HN. I recently graduated with a BS in Computer Science, and I worked as a web developer for over three years when I was younger. My current internship has given me experience in the Python, Java, and C/C++ languages, while allowing me to work with Docker, Ansible, Gitlab (w/ CI/CD), and other technologies, and I'm always willing to learn the stack necessary for a job.
Xiaomi phones are insane, at least BlackShark. They replace virtually all the major user level stuff of Android with extreme data collecting alternatives. They then make it so that you cannot disable many of them (via adp, custom ROMs etc.) without bricking the phone, I'm talking wallpaper or clock apps that run with full, non-modifiable privileges. They subsidize cheap hardware with truly insane level of tracking.

They will also stop allowing custom ROMs once they've built up enough reputation, some newer models already will never have custom ROMs.
I see people calling out Google regularly but rarely is Chrome explicitly termed "spyware", although it very much is: I had to configure G Suite managed browser settings recently and there are like 4 different backdoor ways that big G can "incidentally" process your web traffic and keystrokes: enhanced safe browsing, image alt text accessibility service, uploading your downloads to a scanning service, browser profile history sync, "make the web better" history upload opt-in, et c et c et c.

We should be more consistent in our terminology.
True, but a complementary problem is that your $10000 used car is probably overpriced, driven up by the demand for lower-cost-up-front cars. Edmunds' 5-year TCO on a 2015 Corolla is only about $20/month less than that of a 2021 Corolla. There have been years where their estimate was for slightly higher TCO on the five-year-old car.
I would be very worried about customers finding out that other people in the same country got offered different prices. Here's an example of a story from the Atlantic[1] that describes it in a very poor light. Making sure someone always gets the same price on refresh doesn't hold up if they are browsing at a friends house for example. I would be very worried about getting shunned for price discrimination.

Wowza, that's a quick and efficient way to add another antitrust complaint to your list.
I would argue if bad decision leads to better outcome then it is a good decision.

When I used to go to interviews (some 20 years ago) I had absolutely refused to discuss any personal stuff. Any question trying to pry on me would be met with polite "I would prefer to concentrate on professional matters". Not that I remember personal questions asked too often. Now for some reason employers feel entitled. Well fuck it.
I want to learn how this ends. Did Alejandro reply? Did the buxus survive? My money is in a fungal infestation, and if so, perhaps some copper would help?
Leftist actually does have meaning. Neo-liberalism is a right wing ideology built on imperialism and capitalism. To conflate the two is dishonest.
I was surprised when my Dad, someone completely detached from the tech world, brought up Google's tendency to cancel stuff. He was a Google Music subscriber and still uses Chromecast Audio. Last year he tried buying another Audio device to discover it was discontinued, and then over the summer got notifications related to Music being cancelled. He was super disappointed!

In January he started looking into getting some IoT cameras for his house (a doorbell and something for the backyard, nothing crazy). He was looking at Nest, but the moment I mentioned Nest is owned by Google, he stopped looking at their products.

Cancelling products and services that people use and rely on leaves a bad taste in people's mouths. I used to excuse it, but in the last 5-6 years Google has done away with about 4-5 services that I used daily. It's honestly too much and I won't put the time into using their products anymore.
I was replying to an absolute statement, "every lazy person deserves x". My point is that there are probably more aspects to consider in general.

Your claims that we have "more than enough" are unproven, imo.

Let's take housing. Is your claim that there is enough good housing around for everybody, or that it could be built quickly? How quickly - how many houses are needed, by your estimate? How many building workers are available, and how fast could they build? How many heavy machines (cranes, trucks, bulldozuers...) are available on short notice, to speed up the building?

I don't think many such machines are sitting around idly, and the same goes for construction workers. That means housing is already being built at maximum capacity, and yet there still aren't enough affordable houses.

Just because Apple can make billions of dollars of surplus, doesn't mean there is the equivalant of building machines sitting around idly, waiting to be hired with Apple's money (taking Apple as an example of a rich surplus company).

In fact that money is just debt, literally IOUs - "I owe you". Apple selling an iPhone to people for 1000$ means they trust those people will someday repay them with something worth roughly 1000$. That something could be a building machine. But that machine does not have to exist yet - at the point of sale, all there is is Apple's trust in "the people" to at some point provide that building machine.

Now if Apple were to say today "screw it, we are spending all our money on building houses for the poor", it would probably result in the equivalent of a bank run. Apple would try to rent or buy 10000 construction machines in a single go, but that many machines don't exist. So "the people" would have to go oopsie and say "actually, you can not get a bulldozer for your money".
Thanks for the thoughtful comment. You make several excellent points which I really appreciate!

> It’s unreasonable to bar all employees from accessing sensitive data at a technical level

This is the heart of the confusion. Sensitive data must be locked down (e.g., encrypted) and access tightly controlled so only employees with a legitimate purpose have read access. Since this is a "technical" solution to the problem, I would label the original data breach a "technical" vulnerability.

On the hand, the "developers conspire to push malicious or faulty changes to production" scenario is not a technical vulnerability; it falls into the category of deceit/fraud à la social engineering. Of course there are technical means you could try to foil exfiltration, but generally this sort of attack is prevented by non-technical means e.g. code review.
The entire point of a contract is to have a document that can be brought to civil court.

If you and your employer don't feel you need one and can rely on ethics alone why sign?

I think the reason why companies want you sign one is because in the event of you leaving, companies can't enforce a word of mouth agreement in court.

Whatever is in your contract is what you agreed to but local laws might superseed your agreement. This doesn't make you amoral if you don't educate a company on local laws. This is solely the company's responsibility.

You get no hero points and your family is not better off. Telling a company their contract is not legal can be seen as a little rude and could give you a bad reputation.

Do you participate in any language popularity study that you stumble upon? I know I don't. Add 99% of all my colleagues ever don't as well.

Even if I found a study that corroborated my observation I'd still not trust it. I don't make a habit out of supporting dubious studies only because they support my point of view.

From what I've seen for 19 years of career, most working programmers refuse to participate in such studies.

Hence I don't trust them either way. They work with a non-representative sample of the population. Not a big enough sample for the study to be valid.
