"allegedly costing hundreds of thousands of dollars in losses." It seems he was already messing with the systems while he was still working there. This is not a case of malicious compliance or they fired the only guy who knew how something worked. He was actively sabotaging the company's network.
"he apparently became disgruntled by a corporate "realignment" in 2018 that "reduced his responsibilities,"" So it's not even like the company was being evil as they fired him while he was on PTO to take care of his daughter with leukaemia (or something). He would've been better off finding a new job if he was unhappy. Instead he made things far worse.
But 10 years is way too high. Especially for a victimless crime with alleged "values" of loss. But otherwise he gets no sympathy from me.
Unsurprising, as the biggest party in the government is populist, autocratic and pro-Putin.
US military hardware is top notch. But the US has shown itself to be an unreliable ally. So spending that money at home, supporting the local economy where the money will ultimately flow back to the governments via taxes. Also there is almost nothing the US makes that we don't or can't make here with a few exceptions like the F-22 or X-37 (AKA the satellite snatcher).
I thought the whole point of Lemmy was that it didn't matter what instance you joined. Can I move my account, or do I need to make a new one on a new instance?
Hardly surprising considering the current funding climate and anti-intellectual sentiment of the current American administration. He will probably get an amazing salary and support to work on his project. Canada and Europe should set up something similar, easy visas and citizenship for American scientists and engineers.
If the Oligarchs and their families feel safe in Moscow, they don't mind bending over with the wind. But if the war comes to their doorstep, in this case as drones, they might reconsider that tune.
A common language serves common communication. As a happenstance of history that turned out to be English. Changing it would be enormously costly and hinder cooperation. Aside from that, learning English is useful as it's more or less commonly understood in almost every country in the world.
It was a "alternatives to American apps/sites" on Reddit that got me here
Reminder: you paid taxes in order to receive social security when you need it. If they negate on that deal, ask for your taxes back.
if ads were normal and unobtrusive. We wouldn't need ad blockers. Instead we get an almost unusable internet where ads take up more and more real estate. I had been running an ad blocker for so many years that when a friend (who doesn't use an ad blocker) showed me a website, the unfiltered experience was horrifying.
