Mostly no. If you are in a VHCOL area and have a lot of financial obligations, like a large family to support for example, it’s really not that much. Outside those circumstances its enough income to support a middle class lifestyle in any developed country on earth.
ARR is around 30b, valuation is over 800b.
It is unethical and potentially illegal.
I don’t think its been mentioned here yet but having a yubikey configured for your bitwarden account can be really handy.
Demarchy. Random selection is good enough as long as the pool is big and fresh people get cycled in regularly. It sidesteps a whole host of problems, and the new problems it introduces are relatively minor in my view.
Extremely unprofessional. Acting like an asshole is only appropriate in certain contexts, and a rando calling about open positions is definitely not one of them.
Adults can do what they want, but that sounds like a bad idea and I question the judgment of both parties.
GrapheneOS on a Pixel 10. It’s easy to install if you ever want to step up from scrubland.
It gives you more control over when and what Google can do on the device. If you run Google software with network access you have to assume they can track you, but having it sandboxed minimizes what it can do while running and gives you more control over what it does (e.g. you can deny it network access entirely whenever you want).
They can get into most phones for sure, and even if you have GrapheneOS in a paranoid config they can get you if they put in significant effort. They will come at the data from a direction that doesn’t require compromising the phone itself if that’s too much challenge. You need to think about the total attack surface, the phone itself is just one thing. Ultimately it’s about what resources are necessary to get what they want, for most phones the resources are relatively minimal but also most people are not worth the resources to them.
No, the biggest satellite networks are privately owned. The best aren’t obviously because that stuff is all classified but there’s more privately owned satellites monitoring the planet these days. There’s more going up regularly too, it’s a growing industry.
There’s already multiple satellite networks the public can hire. You can pay a company like Planet Labs or Spire Global and get access to thousands of satellites right now if that’s what you want to do. It would be great if the public had access for free but it costs a lot of money to keep satellites in orbit. I think having free access would save some NGOs money but otherwise not much would change.
8 to 10 is ideal. Below 5 or 6 is not ripe. Above 10 is banana bread territory.
