It's more that parents are afraid of not being in contact with their child when a school shooting happens. It's not some far flung thing in America unfortunately.
I've been following your responses in this thread. I do agree with you but you make it seem that it's almost impossible to blend in now. Based on this, wouldn't it be almost impossible for intelligence agencies to develop human sources in modern countries? They could just trace the case officer back to their home base or just classify them as a spy based on other patterns? Doesn't this mean that human intelligence is practically dead in 1st world countries?
If you have the time, check out the show "Pantheon" (it should be on Netflix). It goes into this and how effectively AI ethics goes out the window when the reward for breaking them means nation-dominating power.
Not saying it is easy, but when I was a teenager I moved across the world because my father needed the job. It sucked in the moment, but looking back it was the best thing that ever happened to me.
You'll find that outside the startup, the director/vp/cto title doesn't translate. Larger companies will often write you off as being "not experienced" enough which is often code for "you don't look old enough for this position". Unlike engineering and the startup world, big companies want you to look the part not just know the part.
Every developer I know (myself included) that has worked with QNX has a story about some insane bug that took significant effort to uncover. At this point, I would say the only reason one should look at QNX is for cost since it is pretty cheap. The low jitter on context-switching to the highest priority thread is a nice thing but the dev process is absolute garbage.
My favorite part about this tax is that it was passed in the same year that the state had a budget surplus and actually cut checks to residents because of it.
Ironic that this happens on 9/11 of all days right?
