  • No, it's simple.

    If you get a passport in "annexed" Venezuela, it would be a US passport. It would be a US territory similar to Puerto Rico which is part of the US.

    Passport is just an example but a good barometer. This implies in the federation of international states, Venezuala is an "independent" party, put recognized. Puerto Rico then by comparison has no such independence, this is all handled by the Federal government.

    It's also fair to say that this is nothing new. US has a long history of messing about with the affairs of central and south american states. Which - fairly - has lead to the US paying the price by said states collapsing and then having the US absorbing tens of millions of individuals claiming asylum

  • usually either use Grok to optimize a mistral prompt, or you can use gemini to optimize a chatGPT prompt. It's best to keep those pairs of AIs and not cross streams!

  • Nominally - although perhaps more often barking and not serious - is if you're a super duper qualified US citizen, you either can find a job there, or, you sue the company for discrimination, either way you get paid. The latter being the part that's highly hypothetical and potentially not realistic.

  • also a sense of broken promises to the CTOs fault

    javascript coder joined taking the company's statement in good faith "everything will be javascript, the front and back end both" and happily did it

    New CTO joins, warmly visits all, dude who joined in good faith parrots his understanding of what we're doing to the CTO. CTO reacts "NO IT MUST BE JAVA" and this is a flex new CTOs love to do -rewrite everything- often to failure

    javascript coder now arguably may no longer be needed if he's not a java programmer, maybe CTO is bringing in their own guys, gets canned.. gets canned by a clown who (a) is watching porn during work and (b) shows it to everybody and (c) leadership above the CTO saw this and did nothing

  • hello

    I like terramaster if you're looking for budget. software is a bit potato (it's all there, and you can install apps, just 7-8/10 polished, not 10/10), hardware build quality is solid

    for 10 bays i like asus lockerstore, also two NVMes, times I've bought those, a bit north of 1000

    i do not have affiliations or interests with either company, just a data hoarder

    that's within the last year so not sure if anything changed in the last few months in light of things
