Yea that's scary. I was in a similar situation, but thankfully they just interrogated me for 5 hours and then sent me back to Canada. My name was marked from that point, so everytime I re-entered US I had to get pulled into secondary.

Maybe it's time to move to open source solutions (*nix), with custom security/audit measures. Might be very expensive initially, but then they'd have complete control.

It's called payoffs. Not much we can do when the system is corrupt. I don't think we'll ever have a perfect system, unfortunately. Just makes it that much harder for startups.

Agreed. This article is one persons misguided opinion.

Makes me wish I didn't just buy the 12.9 iPad pro with the overly priced magic keyboard. Very disappointed in apple. P.s. I use an Android phone.

Right, and who do you think will pay for this new tax? It's definitely not the importers and exporters - it's the end customers, because everything will go up in price. They're not going to absorb those fees. The only ones ma

I'm starting to think that's my go-to now - I need to either focus on smaller companies, where I can feel like I'm contributing to actual change. Whereas in the bigger companies I worked at, it felt like I wasn't actuall

You're absolutely right - the pure excitement that I felt at the beginning was mainly because I could do all the hacky, simple things. Nowadays you have to write 3 million tests before you can write any real code. I just feel like the

I have actually been on a sabbatical now for about 5 months, and I feel the same.

Yeah, I started building camper vans (from cargo vans) for the past few years, and I've really enjoyed it. I got the same excitement I had when I was really enjoying technology. Carpentry was a huge part of the builds, so it's som

I don't really care about the 5g phones. The difference is that I can choose not to buy them, and it won't affect my life at all.

Everyone has their own opinions. In my mind, it's not a 'small risk'. This has nothing to do with other countries - I'm talking about Canada not allowing ANYONE (with very few exemptions) from leaving the country on flig

Thanks, I've posted it there as well.

I posted this on here because I thought I can open an intellectual dialog, where we can have a mature chat. Instead, my post gets flagged, for who knows what. Seriously losing all respect for this site - it's the same as every other pl

Yeah, I read all of that. We still have no definitive proof of what will happen in the next 5-10 years to people that have taken the vaccine. Just because someone said that there is nothing that can happen based on the science, doesn't

Yeah, this is some serious mass hysteria, and it's not getting better. They are pinning one side against the other, and it's propelled by the government. You can't even search COVID related terms in Google without it being re

Yeah, it's a great quote given the situation. It's pretty much the direction we're going in.

I never said it wasn't serious; but I'm also pro-choice. We know nothing about the long term effects of this vaccine, or how it will affect our bodies when it comes to dependencies. I understand that millions have taken it, but th

I can work anywhere, as I work completely remote. We have thought about places like Mexico; but how do we get there?

Not sure why the post I replied to got flagged - he didn't say anything that would justify that.

I thought Newfoundland wasn't accepting anyone in, unless that recently changed? Chartering a boat was something I thought about.

Pro-life not pro-tyranny! Forcing people to take a vaccine that was rolled out almost immediately, without due process is not protecting anything. I'm not saying it doesn't work, but it's not a silver bullet, and only time wi

Why not accept their decision not to take the vaccine? I think this is a choice - it shouldn't be mandated by the government. These vaccines are at best experimental - I'm not saying they don't work, but I am not confident en

I'm concerned that this might also remove referrer codes; unless it's smart enough to distinguish. I imagine some of them might be quite cryptic.
