Is it okay to continue to work for a (non-defense) federal government agency under an administration hostile to my own moral and ethical beliefs?
  • Unfortunately, thatt's a question only you can answer. But goes without saying for any job.

    Ask yourself:

    • Will you be able to sleep peacefully at night knowing what job you're doing and who you're doing it for?
    • Are your morals stronger then job security you're getting?
    • Can you stay on the job and inact change from within?
    • Can you refuse certain tasks you don't feel conformable with?
    • Can you steer / influence the work that you and/or the agency does?
  • US couple blocked from suing Uber after crash say daughter agreed to Uber Eats terms
  • Well, that's common law for you.

    Most of the world has continental law where most of these things would be written in a law somewhere and unenforceable through TOS as those provisions would be deemed in conflict with the law and therefore void.

  • Xiaomi confirms global launch for foldable Mix Flip as it briefly overtakes Apple
  • Well, it's similar to how American bands go on a "World tour" which includes 30 US cities and maybe London and Paris, if they have a good day.

    Not to be sarcastic, but 'global', 'world' and similar terms seem to be in the eye of the beholder. 🤨

  • Apple stands by decision to terminate account belonging to WWDC student winner | TechCrunch
  • None of this account for differences in purchasing power and phone price.

    If you have an $150 Android device, I would of course expect you to spend way less on software than somebody with a $1500 iPhone.

    I'm not saying 'develop for Android only' but if your business relies on one ecosystem only, you're at a higher risk and you're leaving money on the table.

  • Well, they have limited themselves to single point of failure.

    That's like selling only blue shoelaces and then crying faul when your only supplier stops making blue color.

    If your livelihood depends on one account only, you are in great risk anyhow.

  • France considers approval of European chat control plan
  • Pirate Party in Slovenia did not qualify for elections. They needed the support of 1.000 constituents, but when the officials did the count they only had 970 signatures.

    What I'm saying is - your mileage my vary.
