Secret?

Also I'm surprised they're even bothering with the pretense that Trump isn't Putin's bitch.

More security won't save them. For a time it will stop these vigilante style attacks, but if that outlet is cut off eventually you'll see large mobs leading the attacks instead and security won't be able or willing to stop them.

Death is the ultimate consequence. His family has kept the wealth for now, but if it gets bad enough that won't last either.

Your problem is you're taking the principled stance of how a fair system should work, but we're well past that point now. The system is broken and rigged. Desperate people when given the choice between lashing out randomly at those responsible or wasting time and energy playing rigged games that don't achieve anything will opt to lash out even if it doesn't accomplish much in the long term.

Things are at their breaking point and it's going to get messy. These sorts of things are just the first cracks along the stress points. If significant changes to reduce peoples frustrations aren't made it will lead to significantly more violent events like this.

The rich should be very scarred right now because there's absolutely nothing more dangerous than a group of people backed into a corner and desperate.

Should whoever did this have done this? No. But by the same token most people aren't going to be particularly bothered by this either. A complete scumbag got murdered and considering the society we're living in now that's literally the only bad thing that could have happened to him. He was never in any danger of facing consequences from his actions through legal means.

He did face the consequences, but his fellow executives who were just as much to blame haven't and likely never will. This isn't a solution, but it is a warning sign that things are approaching a tipping point. Historically when things get this bad and the "peasants" start pulling out guillotines and scaffolds things have gone very badly for both the ruling class and many of the ones leading the executions, but in the wake of such things there is some improvement. This is a significant warning to politicians and lawmakers that if they don't do something soon to address the rampant corporate greed and rapaciousness this sort of thing will start becoming more common and eventually the mob will be coming for them as well.

Everyone knows Bin Laden because his name was plastered all over the news for months on end. People have been angry at United Healthcare for a lot longer but it was always a faceless corporation. This event has put a name to that corporation and a focus for that anger. If the media covers this like they did Bin Laden I guarantee everyone would remember his name.

The only tenet I take issue with is 4. I used to be a really strong proponent of absolute free speech but after seeing the mess of propaganda and conspiracies that have thrived in the relatively free environment of the internet I've taken a more nuanced approach. While I still believe you should have the right to say anything you want and be free from censorship, I think there's a co-equal right that other people have the right not to be subjected to what you have to say. As with many things I think the key here is consent. While you shouldn't be outright censored what you say should have content warnings and people should need to opt in before being shown whatever it is.

That was my plan until MS installed copilot on my system without asking. A month later I installed Linux and haven't looked back. I did dual boot just in case I needed it, but I actually haven't had to boot into windows for the last 4 months. It's gone so well I'm currently planning to do the same to my wife's computer in a few months when I give it its hardware refresh.

That's a fair criticism of Biden, but Biden wasn't being criticized by that comment, rather the media coverage was. The media has consistently shrugged their shoulders and acted like nothing was wrong as Trump time and time again utterly violates both conventions and laws, but the moment anyone not in the MAGA-sphere puts even a toe out of line it's treated as a huge scandal. Should Joe have pardoned Hunter? No it undermines the entire message of nobody is above the law, but at the same time it's such a trivial thing in the face of the absolute and complete disregard of both morals and laws shown by Trump and his team daily.

In the face of such blatant double standards the media's rush to clutch their pearls in this case just rings as exceptionally hollow.

Actix-Web was one of the original web frameworks and is still very popular and well supported. That said, it's in the process of being replaced by Axum which is by the people who created Tokio (the async framework underlying both Actix-Web and Axum). Axum is fairly well supported now, although maybe not quite as complete as Actix-Web.

What was claimed is that you can't get a Rust job which implies there are no Rust jobs, so it's important to call out the distinction. This was further implied by the tone of the article title which implied that the author was leaving Rust for good. While the contents of the article was more nuanced the title counts for a lot and has to be taken into consideration.

On the whole cryptocurrencies/blockchain jobs thing I'm not even sure I'd consider those real jobs. The overwhelming majority of those are startups that pay in equity and I expect nearly 100% of them to fail making that "equity" utterly worthless. I'd only consider positions in established companies paying actual salaries as real jobs.

So 1/3rd of Americans don't understand how economies work or what a tariff is.

Bernie once again demonstrating that he's the only adult in a room full of children. It's got to be frustrating as hell to be surrounded by these morons constantly.

This next election is going to be an absolute shitshow. I guarantee they'll refuse to certify the election, and they'll try to hijack the electoral college (again).
