X4: Foundations, gets closest to this for me.

A personal anecdote: as soon as companies starting paying these salaries to remote workers, I found myself a company willing to pay me for my experience. Now I get to reap the benefits of lower cost of living, higher quality of life, and higher pay. I don't know how long this gravy train will last, but I suggest anyone with the experience to hop on get their ticket immediately.

Oddly enough it is illegal to serve raw wild fish that has not been frozen, in the United States. (Though, there are exceptions for some farming scenarios and some Tuna species)

Anyone trying to tell you they are selling you never frozen sushi is likely lying or violating food code.

See FDA Food Code 2017 3-402.11 Parasite Destruction.

I really wanted to do this when I was younger, but the complications of filing taxes always turned me off the idea.

I'm in this business too, and it's not just the direct features supporting the law, its the law driving out time and talent trying to make things better. We don't have time to improve systems because we are all too concerned with meeting the latest regulatory pipe dream of interoperable systems.

Systems that nobody has ever asked us to use. Entire APIs with full access to key data, that nobody uses.

I read the first two pages and still had no idea what this was supposed to be about, so I stopped reading it. Needs an abstract at the top to get me to commit to 78 pages.

Maybe "more politically correct" or "easier to get away with" would be a better way to phrase what I meant.

Howard Gardner's "Intelligence Reframed" (1999)

It's similar but it also brings in a challenging problem: coding tests costs candidates far more than it costs employers in terms of time. I am currently interviewing and two of the companies I am otherwise excited for sent take-home tests that just exhaust me, especially after a long day of otherwise productive work. I've got 12 years of experience under my belt but somehow great references and a killer resume aren't enough to convince them I can find a security vulnerability.

SAT scores correlate with IQ test scores. SAT is just a 'legal' thinly veiled version of IQ test.

“The devices have been confiscated and their answer sheets were seized. They were given new answer sheets,” he said.

Unbelievable. They should have been banned forever.

I don't really know about source code, but at the very least, you should have access to any crypto keys, code, passwords or other such thing needed to modify it. Furthermore, reverse engineering any aspect of the thing and sharing the specifications you have discovered should not be illegal.

Not that this should be necessary by any means but I usually right click the password input -> inspect element -> paste my password in the value from my password manager. The on screen keyboard is so ridiculous.
