They are as long as the company doesn't fold, yes.

Binance/Coinbase use hot wallets, they are not stolen from actual user accounts.

It's not a access thing, it's a security control.

For example at most good crypto companies that hold wallets it's not possible to ssh at all, even if someone asked and go permission. It just simply isn't possible short of having a AWS root key or physical access to a computer in a DC.

There is no login, no accounts, no ssh keys or similar, they are immutable containers running from images with a signed SHA. The SHA can only be built by a build system that has it's own set of strict security controls.

Without details, I don't know why a comproised laptop would make any difference unless it submitted code through a PR and had it approved by multiple people.

The law says you must be in the country lawfully and not through fraudulent terms. That happens before the judge.

The parent's comment is now flagged. This is ridiculous, half the repliers aren't even reading what he said.

Ironically this is why I flag these articles, any slightly nuanced discussion is not allowed, its all the reddit/X style commenters adding 0 value.

Yes and if you look those rates have been going down for years. This used to be a big talking point years ago, not so much anymore.

Why not abide by the laws of a host country?

Speed doesn't always mean accuracy either.

Try getting a api key to read your own gmail (not LDAP).

It is insanely difficult vs any other new sass startup with a profile->api key.

I won't even bother typing out all the steps.

I understand this and agree, but how do you measure it objectively.

Usually it's one outspoken engineer with lots of experience and anecdotes but not a link between cause/effect.. just a lot of war stories and slowing others down.

HN falls under the same cause/effect rise/fall of any other large community.

The larger it gets, the more fringe/outlier groups start to take over.

I think it's too nuanced of conversation topic to have a dedicated space.

All spaces turn into echo chambers with enough people. I could be wrong.

I'd be ok discussing with people NOT using AI at work as long as its not built around bashing AI. There are people I work with who still write code, I'm not going to downplay them.

It's mostly around navigating these nuances at work. Even what words to use "I built this" vs "LLM built this"

I know how to design large multi PR projects with multiple agents, but the ORG/LLM navigation , you can't learn by talking to AI.

off-topic: Sometimes I feel like applying at Costco as a SWE just to help fix their god awful tech, it's worse than 2000's e-commerce.
