Pfft.. it's been fine for the last 10 years.

Many years ago I got offered 20% over minimum wage to manage, among other things, all email servers of a large banking association representing >90% of a national market.

It was less than what a Tesco cashier was making in the area.

And people still get mad when we give honest feedback about compensation.

Shout-out to the recruiter who tried to convince me to take a 60k paycut because nobody will pay my current rate ( the one I was already being paid ). I strive to reach your level of audacity one day.

• The responsibilities are way outside of a typical it admin job
• Starting salary for a junior dev/sure/ops in the area is 90k+

I'm guessing It would put you in the bottom 10% in the area mentioned in the job listing.

HDMI Forum has fewer than 80 members and membership fee is 15,000 USD/year. Valve could spin up 80 companies, have them join the forum for a low low price of 1.2M USD and outvote remaining members to open source the entire spec.

I don't see how an email that has no proof of delivery (could have ended in spam for example) would be legally binding.

Accepting a ToS update simply by virtue of no action is also questionable unless provisions permitting that were in the ToS you've accepted and even then it would not work in the European Union, because that's listed in the forbidden clauses registry.

Statutory damages are 150k per violation and that's how much music industry often got in court per song. This settlement would cover 10K books at this rate, they downloaded over 7M.

This settlement is 0.14% of what statutory damages would have been.

About 10% fps bump and even bigger battery life improvement at the same time borderline justifies the title in my book

He's half right. I enjoy being busy, as long as I'm doing things I want when I want. What my employer wants me to do is rarely on the top of that list.

Yes. PSN is only available in about 70 countries (out of 190). E.g. in the entire continent of Africa only one country has access.

Even some members of European Union don't get PSN.

Decibel scale is logarithmic, which means 10db change is reducing perceived volume by half.

Historical definition of decimated: reduce by 10%. Not to 10%.

Modern definition: reduce by significant amount.

Act like she's gonna do it: get all the paperwork you might need to defend yourself and have extra copies (notarized if possible) deposited with friends and/or a lawyer.

With that done seriously consider spilling the beans to remove that threat. Btw did you know IRS rewards whistleblowers 10-30% of any evaded taxes they recover and fines for that evasion? Sounds like a great way to fund a vacation...

There should be calls to toss him into a volcano and they should be getting serious traction

Anything that requires a public, immutable database. Land registry would be one example. Notary public for electronic documents would be another.

You can leverage the majority consensus to create a trusted software build system. Each block would be a package build

• don't be an asshole
• everything is allowed as long as nobody is getting hurt
• act when you see something wrong
• when you are able to help do so
• in all other cases mind your own business

Now make a $12,000 version with door locks and a basic AC and I'll buy one this week. I miss 4th/5th gen Hilux

I've had a company require employees to install MDM on personal phones (remote control/management) to be allowed to use them for 2fa app or email access.. there was a surprised Pikachu when I refused. Eventually they issued me a company phone, because it was impossible to do most tasks without 2fa. That device was on 9 to 5 only.

She'd lose battle of wits against a stuffed iguana. She's essentially unarmed
