All good points. I gave him a little rope as he has been speaking about these things lately, including in his annual …report? But yeah these comments do seem a little self serving.

Maybe he’s just got a big tailwind and I am overestimating him

This is uncommonly off the mark for Gates. There’s a sort of lack of nuance in these remarks. Too much confidence.

Maybe I’m getting old but I think I had this opinion always: I don’t understand why drivers don’t, eh, slow down?

He’s totally correct though, Dano was distractingly bad in blood

It is literally back to the future future

No one who speaks like a complete fucking idiot could be an evil man

Now imagine if they did that every time all of our data was compromised.

Immediate corporate death to all companies that have leaked data. I don’t care how good the defences are, let the corps get stack ranked.

Should be at the top.

Carton*. Or chazzwozzer.

He is a grandiose narcissist facing jail for life after his term. He will keep doubling down and keep escalating, especially when his polling doesn’t recover. He will ask about nuclear weapons more and more.

This is such an insane and clear and present danger.

I have repeatedly called, emailed, wrote, and tried to visit every representative I have, and many whose constituency I am not a part of. I have spoken to all of my friends about this. I have donated to nonprofits and some politicians who oppose this insanity.

And it wasn’t enough. I left the country.

Including medical residencies tbh

I love hearing about when it backfires and people get promoted. I guess calm and steadiness and knowing your worth and not threatening other peoples’ jobs is the reason. Being a hardworking always switched on anxious gadfly can be irritating to others I think.

Well described. I wonder what is stopping you from asking to take on a new project to proactively address the issues at your current place? I imagine it’s management.

Pretty good objective conditions there. Startups are risky. Don’t factor a big payout at all in your decision.

Don’t push the current place, but push the recruiter like a mad man because that will give you a signal to how the new place is thinking or what their strategy and management style is.

Could also half-ass it at the current job

Good luck!

At this point, it’s emptive
