Dodd-Frank does not clearly state there cannot be those contracts. Dodd-Frank grants the CFTC jurisdiction to govern those contracts. what you are saying was struck down in court in September 2024 where the judge ruled those contracts are legal but the content, fairness, and quality of such contracts are CFTC jurisdiction.

in what way do they violate Dodd-Frank?

spoken like a true go developer ha

foundation has an incredible cast but even among such talent he's a clear outlier

theyve been marketed as a serious competitor to vmware for 15 years. their sales reps mightve just not found you until recently. but we did a poc with them 10 years ago and i dont believe much has changed since

everything will eventually go to zero. we look at some of these things and laugh because we're pretty sure they're going to go to zero within weeks or months vs years. but by the end of all of our lifetimes, most the companies on the stock market will be replaced. the few that won't are probably investment banks like goldman sachs

these deals are made as part of a market so it's more like musical chairs where every time you change a chair you get a ton of money but you don't want to be the one that's stuck without a chair at the end

I think people don't understand what this means either. the nation-state "agencies" that can and will get into your network/devices can do so because they would employ tactics like kidnapping and blackmailing a local telco field technician. or if it's your own government, they can show up with some police and tell them to do whatever and most will comply without even receiving a proper court order.

so unless you're worth all that trouble, you're really just trying to avoid being "low hanging fruit" compromised by some batch script probing known (and usually very old) vulnerabilities

he essentially invented the modern concept of conscription. there were press gangs and conscription-like things all through history but for the most part soldiers were professionals

who has discouraged "sucking it up"? what systemic policies have changed to accommodate this? as far as I can tell, someone can explain how they're the victim to anyone and everyone they come across and no one will care. I can't see how anyone emotionally or materially benefits from saying they're a victim. they may want sympathy but they will not get it.

that said, I don't live in a coastal city where there might be more accommodations for such things. where I live, people are generally on their own to find the means to survive. but, in line with the theme of the post, I'm fairly certain people here have a lower life expectancy and generally lower health than people in places where there is a more robust support network. in which case, the body must, in fact, keep the score.

everyone is the Magnus Carlsen of their own life, though. and humans are irreplaceable. sure, budget decisions are made that cause people to have to go find another employer. but there is no civilization without people in it.

100% - given the resources we have, America is far underperforming at the moment

why do they always say "not only" or "it isn't just x but also y and z"? I hated that disingenuous verbosity BEFORE these LLMs out and now it'll all over the place. I saw a post on linked in that was literally just like 10+ statements of "X isn't just Y, it's etc..." and thought I was having a stroke

i cant imagine it's related. if it is related, hello Bloomberg News or whoever will be reading this thread because that would be a catastrophic breach of customer trust that would likely never fully return

I think the author didn't account for different types of engineering orgs at different points in their lifecycle. "just fix it" at an enterprise massive company as a junior is fine but a senior would know "if you fix it, you own it" and it could cause downstream issues with what your team does or owns at the company. whereas at a startup, if you're relying on junior devs to "just fix it"... good luck with that
