How is this anything other than a flagrant violation of her constitutional right to free speech? This is the government suppressing her speaking the name of the executioner, which was already publicly published.
If I was her, I would be launching a multi-million dollar lawsuit against the government for a violation of constitutional rights.
Was it against the law for them to ASK that she remove her post? In essence, it was a request, coupled with an unrelated statement about the illegality of interfering with federal officers. Yes, it was an attempt to intimidate her, but she recognized it for what it was and did not cave in.
Doxxing has many forms, and I agree that she did nothing wrong by citing the news source with the officers name, and offering her opinion. They did not detain or arrest her, and she agreed, and even invited them to speak with her.
Sooooo… not only are companies kneecapping juniors by refusing to hire them, thereby starving the employee pipeline of future seniors, but now those very seniors are tapping out?
Sounds like the entire software dev field is going to implode violently within a few years, causing many companies to go titsup due to a sheer lack of experienced devs. Only those who have a war chest large enough to allow them to pay through the nose will still be standing.
I can code and was planing on entering the field. But the writing was already on the wall.
Not being from the USA helps with this decision.
I was offered a payed internship at uk minimum wage. 18k per year at the time.
I got turned down because I asked how much. I was 25 at the time and trying to raise a family. After that the offerings got worse at the bottom. So it discouraged me from continuing with my degree.
I now code for myself and to automate my work. I get paid much better now than if I had of followed that path.
I can only imagine how the millions of cs majors are coping with this.
You assume they won't be able to find anyone to come in at junior, midcareer, or senior levels in a few years (when you say the field is going to "implode violently").
Hint: they will still be able to hire people if they need them.
The problem is that the company is burning existing customers - for whom the hardware has already been long purchased - to subsidize new customers coming in during this time of higher hardware costs.
And burning existing customers costs a lot more than soaking new customers. Churn always costs far more in lost revenue than a slowdown in new customers. Plus, it impacts market image in a deeply negative way.
Democracy also has a 'tyranny of the majority' vulnerability in which it can enforce policies onto minorities that could be just as harsh compared to policies imposed by autocracies. For example - Japanese American internment in WWII.
If there is a large group of people who use a term like "anti-fascist" as a tag line it no longer is a literal representation of the words. Just like how you wouldn't say that a guy rolling coal in a lifted pickup with a confederate flag and an AR mounted in the window who calls himself a "freedom fighter" is literally fighting for freedom.
Otherwise you will just be talking past people who are interpreting it to mean something else. Which of course you are free to do if you don't think what you are trying to say has enough value to be worth avoiding the miscommunication.
I'd argue that most, if not all clandestine cells that call themselves themselves "Antifa" are as anti-Fascist as the "National Socialist German Workers' Party" were socialist.
Labelling (all?) American (Allied?) personnel as "antifa" or even "anti-fascist" is an interesting move. The article doesn't seem to demonstrate what you suggest it does nor does it seem particularly relevant in general.
What are you trying to say?
That, if we accept that logic, we must either say the Allies who fought in WWII didn't value democracy, or we must accept a definition of anti-fascist that is so broad, it easily includes people even many on the right would call Nazis.
>For my whole career I've made it a point to read every resume sent for a job. If someone took the time to write I will at least take the time to read it.
The reason why you are so discouraged is because you are a unicorn.
Companies have been looking to automate the application process for a long time, now. AI is just the latest dehumanizing tool employed to seprarate wheat from chaff long before any human needs to look at the results. And the reason why people are using AI to rewrite their CVs is precisely because companies are using AI to do the filtering. It is an arms war, started by companies, in which applicants have NO CHOICE but to use AI or remain unknown and unseen.
>Which itself is a symptom of companies getting drowned in AI generated resumes.
I would say that it is the exact opposite. IME, it is a tsunami of companies using AI as the gatekeepers as a cost-saving tool, instead of a human in HR, forcing applicants to use AI to get past AI.
It’s an arms race by the greedy looking to save a few pennies of payroll, against those whose CVs are just sufficiently non-standard, and so are culled in nearly 100% of AI filtering, so they have no choice but to use AI to write their CVs.
Canada and Europe welcomes all scientists. Many of our workplaces are 100% English-speaking, and you don’t have to pay out the nose for healthcare - you pay less for it on your taxes here than you do in America, and there are zero additional costs on top; no co-pays, no deductibles, no medical insurance needed.
Considering how many greenfield projects are reaching for Electron, and how few of them are moving off of it, I would say not.
Until Electron based projects have viable competitors that aren’t using Electron, this nightmare will continue. There is absolutely no justification for consuming 300Mb to 4Gb of RAM when a native app doing the exact same thing typically uses 5% to 0.05% as much memory.
While - “back in the day”, which is to say in the early 2000s - I made a fair number of websites with dark or near-black backgrounds in order to be “edgy”, I never liked dark mode for a computer or device as a whole.
Even my office reflects this: my walls are painted with the whitest white of paint I can find outside of a surgical bay, and 4×4,000 lumen corn lights @6,000K are installed in the ceiling fan. For reference, this is the equivalent of 10×100W light bulbs.
Not just a murderer, but a state-sanctioned executioner and fascist.
