I think that this is the answer. HR are very unremarkable people and OP is asking for something a little above and beyond.

These aren't dumb people. They know exactly what they're asking for. Privacy and security of the public's data is not a priority to them, surveillance and power is. Politicians would much prefer all communication in plaintext, to hell with individual freedoms and privacy, especially European politicians that don't come from the same traditions of freedom as the anglophone countries.

What politician do you expect to openly confess the above in public. These are world-leading politicians, i.e., professional athletes of lying and obfuscation.

Is that as big a problem for PWAs? These apps are still running in the browser so never have access to many parts of a phone a native app would.

The site is cool, but is it not just going to be abused?

Does dust matter for SSD drives?

Violence and fraud has nothing to do with freedom. This is a red herring.

This is really cynical.

You live in a society where almost everyone goes to work to produce something that they will not directly consume.

Humans figured out a way to organise everyone and get them to work cooperatively, it's the free market.

In fact, it couldn't work any other way. Suppose you had 100% altruism and everyone wanted to promote the "greater good". You wouldn't ever know how to direct people towards that greater good. You need prices to drive production.

It's hard to explain to my non-technical friends/relatives, i.e., everyone I know outside work, why I'm careful about digital security and privacy.

Do you mean like mypy and optional type hints or something different, enforceable like Typescript?

If Cuba were a free society instead of being run by communists they would have an economy that worked. This is the destruction caused by ~¾ of a century of central economic planning and Marxist ideology.

I think the reason is different. Some languages have official bodies that decree how a language works. For example the French have the French Academy.

English has no "boss" in charge of how the language works and who decides what the correct anything for the language is. The closest are style guides, but they come from multiple organisations and each often different to each other. So, it's harder to just decide that something will be spelt differently.

Quick search, seems he donated to an anti-Hillary political group in 2016. That appears to be what attracts the accusation of racism.

Link to a quote or video of what he has done/said if you have further to add to the above.

IMO that applies for adults too.

I read this article and feel no further informed on this topic. Avoid.
