Thank you, enlightened hacker. I will only respond to far-right gibberish with voluminous essays from now on.

I don't think that would make it any more likely to convince them, and I do not owe anyone my time for their indulgence. The best I can hope for is that they take a look in the mirror at some point, so I'll stick to that.

You are delusional. Please seek help.

If there's no due process for everyone, that distinction literally does not matter in the slightest!

Dozens of citizens could have been sent into slave labor for all we know, and no judge has been able to provide the constitutionally mandated oversight. It has been upheld many times and for hundreds of years that the Due Process clause applies to non-citizens for this reason.

That does not make it any more or less self-dealing. Just means its investors love getting scammed.

There's a lot of truth to that. Older projects often get bogged down by new security & compliance horizontals, to the point where maintenance is just no longer worth it.
Is this supposed to contrast with the US? You just explained the US Freedom of Information Act of 1967.

That DOGE is not transparent is because the Musk/Trump administration has moved beyond the rule of law.

Technically yes, but "promo committee" has also changed to be your immediate org instead of being independent. Which makes your promo more dependent on your manager's influence.

Yeah, the way I read it Lewis comes down on EA fairly hard. Rather his conclusion boils down to seeing EA and SBF's actions as misguided/naive, not intentionally fraudulent (which I disagree with).

Google salary bands are the same whatever visa you're (not) on, and they're certainly not low-paid. This "article" is ridiculous xenophobic garbage.

>But the thing most miss about the I bonds is you receive no interest until maturity/cashing it in. So no compound interest.

That's incorrect. I bonds compound semi-annually.
