Politicians regularly ask for backdoors to encryption. This poses a severe threat to online security in general: https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/why-a-backdoor-is-a-security-risk

One of my first jobs out of school was a start-up. Was referred by a friend of a friend. Thought it'd be a great opportunity and I'd make considerable cash.

I made $1k/month cash. Was making an extra $4k/month in equity. Part was in stock. Part in an unregistered options plan.

Decade later, they're out of business. Options are void. They're claiming I never earned stock now, either, tho it was reported as income & I paid taxes.

TLDR I learned a lot about how not to do business in that job...

what it feels like trying to survive 2018

All trans/non-binary people deserve a free Nintendo Switch.

Boost if you agree.

I just spent some time digging into cross-platform ways to talk to Bluetooth LE devices and the options, as seems to always be the case with talking to hardware, appear to be either “go fuck your self” or “use Web Bluetooth”

and people wonder why web and Electron apps are common

So I want to remind what 'patriarchy' means.

It's not rule by men.

It's rule by patriarchs. Old men. Esteemed men. Men who have performed toxic masculinity the best.

There's a reason every man in politics seems like they're a sex scandal away from losing it. They are.

That is what this system has rewarded. There are rewards for power-seeking, controlling, abusive, authoritarian behaviors.

And now we're changing the rules. And the men who bought in are scared.

OK, I think I do this job thing for real now, fighting my anxiety and depression to do it.

I guess a starting salary of 40,000/year is OK. It's in the range of what people should get in this job and not too much asked, though a little off.

In the end I keep 1,600 a month, but that's fine. I only had something like 1,000 a month before.
