Replace “politicians” with “billionaires” and it’d be more accurate. Legislation has long stopped correlating highly with average citizen sentiment and has started correlating highly with wealthy and corporate interests.
I agree with you somewhat, but still applaud them for looking for promising future developers and paying them an amount that will attract them.
However, there are many promising junior developers that aren’t interested in the money as much as they’re interested in the challenge/fun. Sometimes high pay implies high expectations/stress and very little time to experiment/learn.
ex. I don’t want to work for a bank on fraud detection. I’d love working on AVL and in-vehicle remote monitoring systems though.
This is the correct answer for now, but when currently available options are functionally equivalent to what dial-up is now I think this opinion will not have aged well.
>In 2021, the Biden Administration passed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which included a provision to give $42.5 billion to the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program to provide under-served and rural areas with internet access. To date, it has connected nobody.
No wonder we are not voting for it, the government continually promises to connect people and does nothing.
The 42 billion could have bought every single rural American a Starlink terminal and had a bunch of money left over.
Sure, but that makes the assumption that people vote rationally, or even in their self interest, when evidence is overwhelmingly to the contrary. And this isn't commentary on an individual party, either, or on intelligence: basically nobody is incentivized to honestly portray how a candidate might actually govern.

If they don't, then democracy is done. Right now, thanks to the EC, a rural vote is worth more than anyone else's. If you're right, then the rest of us had better find a way to disenfranchise them, and soon.
I don't really want to comment on the merits of democracy, how to implement democracy, or how to measure how much democracy is being done. I'm just pointing out you can't read much from what people want from how they vote when what they actually want (or need) is basically absent from the conversation to begin with.
EDIT: Obviously I don't have solid data that what people want isn't discussed, but the general metabolism of US politics appears to be: newspapers, cable news, and podcasts raise an issue (which may or may not be relevant), and that's what politicians respond to. I typed a lot more illustrating how this is at best tangentially related to what people want to see change, but I'm not trying to rehash the communication dysfunction of this country.
The MDM does not give your employer a way to retroactively unlock the phone. Depending on the MDM solution and capabilities they allowed they may be able to install an application though. But most people that have accepted MDM on their personal device from their employer, the only thing the employer can do is remotely wipe the device.
I don't think this is correct, Jamf has a "Clear Passcode" option that I have used with success, although it does require the device to have an internet connection.
Is the problem the tenets of communism? or is the problem the dictators and strongmen who inevitably rise to the top?
or the corruption that grows from unchecked power?
All of the above, and they're linked together. Communism requires centralization of decision making, which creates huge bottlenecks, stunts growth, and also becomes a single point of failure that a corrupt leader can easily takeover.
The only reason communism keeps re-emerging is because it takes advantage of people's empathy, promising that it can directly address the needs of the many.
I'm no fan of communism but that's a reductive take. China of today is communist in name only, but it's still very centrally managed, and that didn't stop China from becoming a global economic superpower. One could say something similar for Japan of the early 20th century, or, to a lesser extent, South Korea in the 60s when the economy was very much centrally planned under a dictator.
I'd call that luck. Wait until a bad or stupid actor gets to power. This is the main problem with communism. It all depends on one single person and how they are.
I'll grant that communism makes it easy for a single person to have all the power, but "one single person in power can ruin everything" is not exactly unique to communism, and I am unconvinced that it explains why communist nations tend to stay poor.
Happens everywhere, but the way power in communism works makes bad stuff happen many times faster. In democracy there is a long time until a bad actor can do real damage. There are policies and various mechanisms that prevent that(to a point). Even bureaucracy works to some extent.
I’ve always wondered —- if communism is so inherently flawed that it will by definition go away on its own, why bother punishing or fighting it? The US embargo on Cuba seems kind of silly if communism would evaporate on its own
I literally stated the opposite of that.. it keeps re-emerging because it takes advantage of feelings. People want to fix the problems of the world, communism offers solutions that don't work but sound nice.
You're referring to the govt failing to maintain itself in power, whereas OP is referring to a govt failing as a functional system for the improvement of society.
It's primarily the lack of incentives, e.g. China in 1990 compared to 2010.
Communism's "time in the sun" was not really about its ideological merits. It was just something fed to the intellectuals to get them to buy into the Russian/Soviet planetary takeover. It made people believe they were fighting for a cause rather than someone else's petty interest.
These type of solutions don’t scale to large ISPs, and gets costly to deploy at the edge. It’s also not just about throughput in Gbps, but Mpps.
Also, this doesn’t take into account that the congestion/queueing issue might be at an upstream. I could have 100g from the customers local co to my core routers, but if the route is going over a 20g link to a local IX that’s saturated it probably won’t help to have fq/codel at the edge to the customer.
The answer in this scenario is to exempt that application and/or folder. Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water.
In my environment we have to add exceptions for Developers git folders for the realtime scanning for a similar reason. Apps with large numbers of small files or high frequency writes of smalls files, like temp files during the build process, need to be exempted unless you’re willing to pay the performance penalty for the security.
I don’t understand why, but I have an exemption for that folder and I’ve disabled real time scanning. It still shows the slowdown on first launch. The only thing that works is disabling windows defender entirely. I’ve been through the troubleshooting loop a few times with this.
