I know it's illustrative but telling your job that you have cancer (if you don't) is an awful, awful idea.

I can understand the argument that individual consumer changes are not enough to stem the tide of climate change. But I’m not sure that means individual choices have zero real impact.

It’s weird to me that in this instance the software can withstand an “attacker” having the device. I see this adage when reading about social engineering, That once the person has the device, they can take control of it. Ofc that doesn’t mean they can read all the data but yeah this is something I’ve seen a few times.

I also have YT Premium. Those in video promos are so easy to skip. Most creators put them in the same spot every video, some even at the end.

What's wrong with them?

> Flock Freight’s algorithms help companies move products more efficiently, combining small shipments into a shared truckload (like a carpool for freight).

This sounds cool to me. Certainly more than all the ad tech and blockchain companies out there. A job here could mean revolutionizing logistics with AI, slashing greenhouse gas emissions, this stuff is core to our economy and modern life.
