Agreed, you can see this now with them using big tech platforms to try to get Americans to believe you can't trust elections (replacing who's in charge every 4 years, yikes!), don't trust journalists, vaccine isn't safe (can't have the US bouncing back too fast), and ubiquitous surveillance is the only way to stay safe.

Hopefully YouTube and Twitter figure out the game they're playing and put a stop to it.

Great response by The Intercept. Pretty much sums up the comments on the previous thread. I do enjoy this new normal, Ok boomer, way of responding to the Greenwalds of the world. Instead of wasting time refuting every ridiculous conspiracy theory or accusation, they treated him like the child he's acting like, gave him the boot, and moved on.

Stoped reading after the author made an equivalent comparison between NYT and Brietbart...I mean, you're not fooling anyone with the "un-biased, unaffiliated voter just searching for the truth" shtick. It's 2020 buddy, we see what you're doing.

Yep pretty much this. And luckily this will definitely work because none of these companies have a history of making secret agreements not to poach each other's talent after making a 15% pay cut.

No. You don't get to invalidate someones right to privacy because you've given yours up.

The argument that if you don't have anything to hide you don't need privacy has been beaten to death already.

And when it comes to sexual preferences there are still many countries/states where being able to hide it is a life or death situation.

You sound bitter. You should be bitter. Your gut instinct is right and you probably are the least paid senior there. Not because you bring the least value but because you refuse to negotiate. Read the article, know your worth, and get outside your comfort zone.

Thanks for this. The original article seemed too much like a PR puff piece.

“a significant portion of the lobbying done in favor of” the bill “was bankrolled by tech companies.”

Why any IT professional would trust in the big lobbying tech companies to act in their interests is beyond me.

You're absolutely wrong. It's this attitude toward security that is a main factor toward most of the Ethereum hacks to date.

- brilliant exploit by a hacker who was both skilled enough to outsmart many, many world-class developers all working together.

- malicious enough to forgo the generous bounty awarded for disclosing the exploit to the Common Colony security domain.

- detestable enough to willingly crash an enormously successful DAO

If you think one or all of these attack vectors are not something to be concerned about (or worse, be sarcastically dismissive about) you have no business writing smart contracts or anything security related.

This is what bothered me too. "Hey everyone, we delivered to our first real customer!"

Then shows the "customer" with a full camera crew, obvious UI mocks, and great looking warehouse workers I have a hard time believing aren't paid actors. Like most things these days, it's probably a paid for PR article lightly disguised as authentic.
