Yea that's scary. I was in a similar situation, but thankfully they just interrogated me for 5 hours and then sent me back to Canada. My name was marked from that point, so everyti…

Maybe it's time to move to open source solutions (*nix), with custom security/audit measures. Might be very expensive initially, but then they'd have complete control.

You think this is the future of music? https://youtu.be/AG8fJ50sxR8?si=jTsAS_siwnvXCLj2

It's called payoffs. Not much we can do when the system is corrupt. I don't think we'll ever have a perfect system, unfortunately. Just makes it that much harder for startups.

Agreed. This article is one persons misguided opinion.

Makes me wish I didn't just buy the 12.9 iPad pro with the overly priced magic keyboard. Very disappointed in apple. P.s. I use an Android phone.

Right, and who do you think will pay for this new tax? It's definitely not the importers and exporters - it's the end customers, because everything will go up in price. They're not…

I'm starting to think that's my go-to now - I need to either focus on smaller companies, where I can feel like I'm contributing to actual change. Whereas in the bigger companies I …

You're absolutely right - the pure excitement that I felt at the beginning was mainly because I could do all the hacky, simple things. Nowadays you have to write 3 million tests be…

I have actually been on a sabbatical now for about 5 months, and I feel the same.

Yeah, I started building camper vans (from cargo vans) for the past few years, and I've really enjoyed it. I got the same excitement I had when I was really enjoying technology. Ca…

I've been working in IT (software developer, architect, devops) for around 20 years now. I've dabbled in pretty much everything. I actually had a passion for it all - I enjoyed eve…

That movie would be a hit!

I don't really care about the 5g phones. The difference is that I can choose not to buy them, and it won't affect my life at all.

Everyone has their own opinions. In my mind, it's not a 'small risk'. This has nothing to do with other countries - I'm talking about Canada not allowing ANYONE (with very few exem…

Thanks, I've posted it there as well.

I posted this on here because I thought I can open an intellectual dialog, where we can have a mature chat. Instead, my post gets flagged, for who knows what. Seriously losing all …

Yeah, I read all of that. We still have no definitive proof of what will happen in the next 5-10 years to people that have taken the vaccine. Just because someone said that there i…

Yeah, this is some serious mass hysteria, and it's not getting better. They are pinning one side against the other, and it's propelled by the government. You can't even search COVI…

Yeah, it's a great quote given the situation. It's pretty much the direction we're going in.

I never said it wasn't serious; but I'm also pro-choice. We know nothing about the long term effects of this vaccine, or how it will affect our bodies when it comes to dependencies…

I can work anywhere, as I work completely remote. We have thought about places like Mexico; but how do we get there?

Not sure why the post I replied to got flagged - he didn't say anything that would justify that.

I thought Newfoundland wasn't accepting anyone in, unless that recently changed? Chartering a boat was something I thought about.
