Google and the caste system
So the developer of musl was being socialized again on Twitter (because he's friends with Daniel Micay of GrapheneOS on Twitter) and retweeted this story about how Google's ranks, which are full of Indians with Brahmin heritage, probably want to forget that their cultural heritage perpetuates the caste system.
(I don't think this story is paywalled, but the Washington Post's article made my laptop's fans turn on when I opened this page in Brave.)
At least the historical Buddha was forward thinking during His time and didn't discriminate based on one's caste.
There's an interview Louis Rossmann had with Jeremy Soller, in which Soller stated something among the lines that: California is the most backward places. In some regards, probably true. The U.S. state that says many pieces of furniture can cause cancer also doesn't have right to repair because of many Silicon Valley companies don't want to give up their “trade secrets” — just like how the U.S. government keeps saying it needs to surveil everyone in the name of “national security”.
I genuinely see the world ending on objective terms if companies like Google are allowed to consume all of the world's resources beyond rock bottom, because none of this is sustainable at all.
It's gonna take forever to make silicon processors in a sane way that Betrusted is working with the current FPGA for Precursor: it's going to take forever to get economy of scale for trustable processors. No company now wants to even show the circuit board schematics of a PCB because every company is secretive as heck for monetary reasons — this isn't even about surveillance at this point.
