- Comment on Consumer Financial Protection Bureau moves to place Google under supervision 2 days ago:
But it’s no different than appointing someone to the agency to do that. Which we all knew he would do anyway. Elon’s meme “agency” doesn’t make any difference.

Cabinet members can’t dissolve entire agencies. Only congress can.

- Comment on Academic papers yanked after authors found to have used unlicensed software 3 days ago:
Yup, wide use creates a lock-in effect. If your software is used by everyone, paid or otherwise, it’s the standard and you will never run out of paid users. This is why CAD companies offer free tiers and why student subscriptions are always heavily discounted.

- Comment on Fired Employee Allegedly Hacked Disney World's Menu System to Alter Peanut Allergy Information 2 weeks ago:
The US is at will, nobody gives 2 weeks for termination unless maybe it’s a layoff. If a company has grounds to fire you they just fire you. Most will be smart enough to disable accounts before you’re even out the door.
- Comment on Fired Employee Allegedly Hacked Disney World's Menu System to Alter Peanut Allergy Information 2 weeks ago:
Murder. Firing a gun in a crowd is not manslaughter because you don’t see exactly who you are killing. You know it’s going to kill someone and that’s the goal so it’s murder.

Sorry Zek, when technology affects people’s lives it’s technology news. Especially when affects who lives and dies.

While I agree that many are too eager to put anything even tangentially related to tech in this community, this belongs. This is a piece of technology that is wildly relevant to this community and to a politics community. Sometimes they are inextricable. More and more these days whether we like it or not.

The goal is both, and money does fund leisure. The wealthy have more free time than anyone.
- Comment on Not allowed to work from home 3 weeks ago:
Sometimes there are local resources for learning the craft of resumes and interviews. Sometimes they are also free. Check with your local library, the local community college, the local social services. I would also seek counseling and medication for the anxiety. Don’t let that stuff be an excuse to hold you back. Sacrifice some money and free time now and you’ll make a lot more money later. I know this is all easier said than done, but it’s worth doing.
