Government biometric requirements really aren’t a joke. They perform pretty regular audits and the liability of not deleting ID could be company ending.
They might not delete your biometrics, but I’d be shocked if they didn’t. It’s far more likely that they not only delete it but have an audit trail proving deletion.
Short term contracts are a surefire way to get bad results. A dev that knows they don’t have to maintain the systems doesn’t have a reason to care about long term sustainability. So you have to have senior devs babysit them instead of writing code. Some seniors are fine with that, others will start interviewing elsewhere when they can’t code.
There’s also the old joke of “it’ll take a month to get done. ok what if we double your manpower? Three months to get done”.
Not to mention the multiple months of on ramp that happens as a dev learns what the codebase actually does.
After a hire I wouldn’t expect them to be meaningfully architecting anything in a codebase for 2 months. Only doing minimal patch fixes, small 1 and 2 point tickets. A contractor would never be trusted with arch and would never graduate off those short tickets.
They’re on the same team in the same way you’re on the same team with a stranger when there are 6 ravenous wolves circling your dwindling torch light.
Is that stranger a fascist? Will they stab you in the back? Who knows: but it’s better to have a back to press yours to than it is to have 3 unwatched wolves behind you.
Coalition forming is our only option as progressives.
Sovcits are all seeking to regain control of their lives. They recognize the system is cold and uncaring but though the power of magical thinking they believe that loopholes exist that can give you control back.
Are they delusional? Yes. Is their pain and frustration, the root cause of the insanity, valid? Absolutely valid, and something all of us (generalizing here, bourgeoisie excluded) experience.
You have more in common with a sovcit than you do with Jeff Bezos or any other billionaire.

In un sondaggio abc/ipsos di inizio maggio il il 16 per cento dei sostenitori di Trump ha dichiarato di essere pronto a riconsiderare la propria scelta di voto in caso di condanna e il 4 per cento ha detto che in quel caso il candidato repubblicano perderebbe certamente il suo voto. Percentuali
Because labor isn’t the main cost of fast food as far as I’m aware. Doubling the wage of laborers saw only modest price changes in places that hiked minimum wage… Despite franchise owners being able to set their own prices.
McDonald’s near me in NYC is more expensive than Alabama, sure - but it’s not double the price. ~$20 for 2 people to have 2 large meals with drinks is eminently reasonable.
Most states rely on paper bureaucracy to ensure that the state can function and provide services. Paper bureaucracy has been part and parcel of how we maintain states and corporations since the Chinese invented the first paper bureaucracy systems of management 3000 years ago. But as you all probably know, bureaucracy kinda...

I’ve got aqara open/close sensors that I use on 3 windows and 2 doors. I like them. I’ve had them a couple years without needing to replace the batteries but I have some spare coin cells on hand for when I do.
I voted for Biden in 2020. This was despite the fact that he is one of the main architects of modern American slavery through his crime bill which made the US the nation with the highest proportion of its own citizens imprisoned by far, who are quite literally slaves according to our constitution. This was despite him...
Trump emboldened and supported Netanyahu and made It entirely clear that he would support Israel being a fascist strongman state.
You think he wouldn’t compound the genocide? He’d support Russia in Ukrainian genocide. He’d put American jets in Gaza. Hell he’d put boots on the ground if he thought it’d make him more money or solidify his control.
Stop falling for this bullshit.
Biden is reprehensible but there is nothing, nothing positive in Trump’s entire track record. The worst possible decision? He’s made it at every turn. Cartoonishly exaggerated in his love for despots and dictators: he thinks the fascists belong in power.
Vote Biden. Not because you like him but because the alternative really is that much worse. Always has been.
