I have a funny feeling Jeff doesn't own the paper for the money.

Plenty of dictators still have elections. Well, they call them elections at least.

So I guess it will at least be called an election.

I once went to a Polish restaurant and the starter was pork fat on toast.

And a hazelnut vodka.

There are many ways for a heart to implode.

Skill issue.

The Dutch absolutely use bikes to carry goods.

I've seen people with TVs on their bike. I've seen them with multiple crates of beer on the handlebars (kingsnight).

I saw three people on one (regular) bike.

Also these:

I worked at an ad agency and we'd literally have every user's email, name, phone etc in random spreadsheets that everyone had access to.

As an intern I had root access to just about everything on the company server because I was one of the people who "knew computers" who wasn't a dev.

There was constant debate about how to trick people into giving over their data etc (e.g. email sign-up for some free crap that you never actually got). Or getting people to allow apps permission to access their contacts, as then you've got 100 new people, and enough info about them to get them to open a spam email.

Also, if the user fell for a trick, their details are suddenly high value, as they are dumb enough to be a "mark" (or maybe their English isn't very good), so their stuff can be sold to scam companies or just scummy people.

Privacy is a layer of defence, and shitty people feel entitled to take it away from you.

I suspect the rise of the dual-income family (often as a matter of necessity) has had a massive influence on this.

In addition to the absurd increases in cost of living etc.

One time the company big boss did a speech telling us how we could all learn a thing or two from his protégé, and clapped him on the shoulder.

If big boss had spent more time in the office, he'd have known that Mr Protégé spent most of his working hours playing ping-pong with Big Boss's trophy-wife.

I always forget VS Code is a different thing to VS.

Don't scare me like that.

That's good because then they can't fire you for lying about it in the interview.

But good luck telling them they can't ask that.

Later: "You weren't a good fit"
