Agree and disagree. It seems hyperbolic to say code review isn't to find bugs; of course it is. That happens every week on my teams. But the main point is the knowledge transfer an…

It is hard to tell if this is a joke based on the username. There are people with this perspective though I assume. Thus I will respond to it. It's worth noting OP's proposed techn…

In my Catholic circle, there are broad views on different policies. There are both political affiliations and lack of affiliation. For example, the official Catholic position is pr…

China is a primary adversary for the US. Oil is a major resource for both countries, supporting economics and defense. First, observe the top 10 oil reserve countries: 1. Venezuela…

At what point do these security flaws come with a criminal level of negligence? This isn't intended to be an inflammatory or angry comment. It is a genuine question.

I've been toying with the following attempt to explain all this: - Information bubbles (this is the top issue, and it's really incredibly persuasive) - Geographic location and soci…

Two of the top AI companies flouted ethics with regard to training data. In OpenAI's case, the whistleblower probably got whacked for exposing it. Can anyone make a compelling argu…

Let's to forget this long article from just over a month ago, outlining Microsoft's failings and seemingly willful neglect regarding cybersecurity overseas. https://www.lawenforcem…

I strongly relate to this post. Having grown mailsac.com to above average side project revenue, the admin overhead isn't crazy, but it's exceptionally repetitive and boring. So muc…

I believe it could be surprising because a person's government has turned them over to a foreign government where they have no representation. The foreign government is not governe…

I pivoted from "full stack" to a software and infra engineer on an AI team. There was some luck involved, but I believe it helped that I'd taken some courses. I am not one of the d…

There is a company called Genomatica that is working on this problem specifically for 20 years, and has started to gain ground. Turning waste sugar into nylon plastic and other pro…
