Framing this as though employees have total freedom and choice wrt employer and working hours is plain incorrect. Those engineers at SpaceX aren't organized, thus they get screwed out of overtime and can't talk about the houra and working conditions they are pressured to labor under.

I'm one of those SpaceX engineers, and I do feel that I have almost complete freedom to get another job at any time if I didn't want to work here or was unhappy about compensation. Your assumptions are wrong. There's no scandal about the working conditions at SpaceX. Me and every SpaceX engineer I know are happy. Move on.

Keep tellin' yourself that

They’re extremely intelligent and hardworking engineers; they can just get a job somewhere else.

Imprisoning US Citizens at random and trying their hardest to deport them seems to be a critical job of ICE.

Yet security on nearly every android phone is still a joke, with Samsung and LG rarely releasing even the most basic patches.

Umm..maybe I'm missing something but I don't recall reading about a lot of security breaches with Android, outside of some dumb users downloading very shady apps here and there.

Now, you wanna talk jokes, let's talk about the history of Microsoft's products, such as Windows. It is hard to keep a Windows machine going for over a year, no matter how careful you are.

I think, all things considered, that Google bakes excellent security into everything it does.

Grayshift isn't law enforcement though, they're a private company that is creating DMCA violating products. Apple has every right to sue them, and hopefully recover some compensation for how they have sullied Apple's brand.

As much as I hate the DMCA, I think this is the perfect suit with only upside:

1. Apple loses. DMCA is weakened for legitimate security research. Yay

2. Apple wins. My security in my person and belongings is strengthened against unlawful interference. Yay

Wouldn't scenario 2 potentially strengthen DMCA and make it more difficult to do legitimate security research in the future? That's quite a big downside.

Yes, but the obvious bounce back would be amendments called for by police to the law. Which puts us back in scenario 1

3. The world is a big place and flaws are exposed in other countries.

Only OpenStack is fully open source and fairly feature complete, with a few dozen providers using the OpenStack platform.

OVH, who owns the largest datacenter in North America uses OpenStack, they're actually one of the largest contributors. Red Hat & IBM both seem to be really pushing private deployments as of late for their larger clients that already own large DCs.

Knowing that OVH uses a piece of software makes me want to never use that piece of software.

They are the worst quality cloud provider, IMO.

Definitly not the worst, but very far from the actually good ones for sure.

Microsoft might be doing a better job wrt contributing to and creating open source software, but the trust of Microsoft is not there.

My SO migrated everything off Github back on Sunday when rumors broke, deleting the account & repos that had commits and contribs going back years.

Consistently, one of the first questions I ask friends and acquaintences who go to work across the lake to work for MS in Bellevue or Redmond is whether they are on an Embrace or Extend team. Most are on Embrace/Rewrite our own version but "better" teams.

Microsoft has changed, but they're no Red Hat or Suse.

While partially true, there are a ton of small and medium size companies out there that are just starting to rewrite their legacy stacks, with many choosing .Net with MSSQL. Worst part is, these shops keep turning up at my local LinuxFest yearly, looking for new dev talent.

If your topic touches YC's vulnerable underbelly in any way, they are very happy to ban you. Other sites are much less temperamental, but a good chunk of that is YC's benefactors have many skeletons in the closet.

Real Name policies have failed to increase civility. If anything, the lack of anonimity has stripped the ability to speak out from those who are least empowered.

So they put a shittier SOC into the Stylo 4, running the same outdated Android 7, and nearly everything else unchanged. Honestly, the specs are nearly the same as the original Stylo. Why is LG even releasing new versions of this device when it isn't materially improving?
