All a spider needs is an instance to download everything.

Do you trust anyone claiming to be self taught with the responsibility to design something that, if it fails, will cause billions in economic damage? Not the people you know, anyone who claims to be self taught?

Do we allow for self taught doctors or accountants?

Also, these regulations aren't being developed for all servers, just ones that can cause major economic damage if they stop functioning. And you don't need everyone to be qualified to run the service. How many water treatment pants are there where you only have a small set of managers running the plant, but most people aren't licensed to do so?

Isn't that the reason why Amazon gutted their Alexa development team? It turns out there isn't business case for Alexa.

Why not? It is still valuing the self education of people. It just means having a license to manage the system requires people with significant experience.

And it isn't like a degree alone is required for licensure.

Some states let some people get professional licensure through experience alone. It just ends up taking more than a decade of experience to meet the equivalent requirements of a four year degree.

Or it needs to be a profession.

Licensed professional engineers are expected to push back on requests that endanger the public and face legal liability if they don't. Software has hit the point where failure is causing the economic damage of a bridge collapsing.

Wearing a ribbon is a lot different than wearing a pillow looking bandage. It feels a lot like a grift to sell product, especially if the My Pillow Guy was selling them.

I think it speaks to developing for gaming over developing for infrastructure. What does it say about gaming where, a company that has a healthy attitude about work in general, has staff that prefer to work on addressing Steam bugs over working on a prestige game?

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, probably.

That's what Peru tried to tell Ecuador.

I saw this movie. Did it involve bringing kids to outer space and an AI robot that just wanted to help?
