... for now ;-). Give it a (4) year(s), mate. Happy Australia Day!
overqualified··on Heatwaves may mean Sydney is too hot for people to live in 'within decades'
Taxation will make Australia "unsurvivable" for people faster than any climate change.
overqualified··on India asks WhatsApp to withdraw new privacy policy over ‘grave concerns’
I have one word for you: IRC. Check it out. Start with freenode. You will like the freedom, as it was back in 1990x.
overqualified··on Hundreds of Twitter employees sign letter to permanently suspend Trump’s account
Americans should be just ashamed - you all are a laughing stock of the world! What's next, USSR v2.0? ;-) Just look at yourself in a mirror ...
overqualified··on FBI says white supremacists plotted attack on US power grid
For inclusion and equality, could we please remove "white" from the title? The "American supremacist teen" works well and is inline with current guidelines, correct?
overqualified··on US State Department Announces “Clean Network”
No, fortunately for the world ... The satire was a state of US /Worldwide government networks security.

I expect things to change in 2021, rather quickly.

And it is 3-5 years too late, but better now than never.

US and other western countries must:

1)start producing their own chips / boards / hw etc, end-to-end, no exceptions

2) Disconnect networks from "non-partner jurisdictions" (and I don't care about FooBacks and Gargle Ads driven business models and their bottom line)

3) Stop low-level software outsourcing. Effectively, only US citizens should work on such projects- both commercial and government

This will be good news for American IT workers, their unions and fresh US citizen IT graduates.

Finally!

overqualified··on Snap will stop promoting Trump’s account after finding tweets incited violence

Try to get that domain, Twitter ;-)

overqualified··on Ask HN: Any job boards and age-friendly companies for older developers?
Hah, reminds me that scene from "someone likes it hot", when they are discussing shaving legs :-)

Don't do that - young chicks dig older boys :-), use that advantage!

overqualified··on Ask HN: Any job boards and age-friendly companies for older developers?
Right until some mid-level prick wants a bonus and cuts costs, so your project is closed and contract terminated :-) Been there ...

But, the good thing is that nobody can fire you from your own business.

Give them a finger and use existing make, along with other binutils.

Good luck and don't pay attention to arrogant idiots.

Start your own business. Best thing to do ever. Life just starts at 45 :-)
