Are you sure that not even the most mediocre insider threat program doesn’t have this accounted for? Especially when they’re an industry that knows itself well?

They will find out. And act accordingly. And your career will end, with the mess cleaned up and billable to you.

I worked for a big corp. None of this is out of ordinary.

But yeah, if you need to survive and worry about being fired, you make your own decisions that you'll be able to live with.


You've obviously never worked in big corpo.

People unwittingly deploy this whole handbook back to front throughout the entire process of the sdlc.

It's impressive that anything ever gets done ever.


I’d just like to see a repeat of the glut of HBM-backed processors like the Xeon Max 9480 that dipped as low as 900/cpu, about 2000ish all in, and with bandwidth that compares favorably to a 3090.

Can at least vouch for the (Sapphire Rapids) Xeons. With the right cooling, you can throw absurd TDP generating loads and they just keep on chugging along.

With octochannel memory, an 8480 can be slightly indistinguishable from an older GPU if used that way.


If you want to bring in something from the overall European region, Switzerland would be a more appropriate model. Instead of trying to implement constitutionally impossible rules and mandates, work with a model that is more realistic to US policies and expectations.

> High trust, consensus governance

Yeah I don’t see that happening here either. Maybe in some rich areas, like tech/finance hubs, operating like mini-Switzerlands. Even then, the poor will keep voting for disruption, so those hubs will need private security vs the federal government? I just don’t see how this is possible or at all desirable. I think we have to tackle inequality……


Can you give specific examples of what you mean by that?

What kind of say do the residents have when it’s nearly a done deal?

Unless the residents have a strong enough chance to veto, they’re just speaking into the void as far as the company is concerned.


Typically constituents don’t have any ability to veto. I imagine there are some cases in CA, thinking of that amusing article about an ice cream shop getting blocked by another ice cream shop.

It’s usually an indirect vote with your voice. To be frank, people don’t have that much of a role in what business gets built if it aligns with the states economic goals and zoning is not being critically changed.

I think the bigger discussion is if resources are going to be constrained can we make sure the use is being properly charged for resource buildout. It’s the same problem with building sports arenas or sweetheart tax deals for manufacturing plants, they often don’t pan out.


Buy it used?

Between all the telemetry and them separating workstation and server duties, Windows is a no go aside from a generic gaming console here.

Only if you have no issue with the bloat of additional binary parsing of essentially text logs.

Text parsing isn't any better. There are many things wrong with systemd but this isn't a useful thing to get angry about.

Which is not much different than how the January 6th people were caught.

Be glad we have Palantir and not Decima.
