The books are a bit of a disaster (through I believe the English translations not much cop) and I never brought the portrayal of Lisbeth Salander as a hacker some of the tech that Stieg Larsson claimed was so cutting edge or may be Sweden is that far behind - El reg has done a good takedown.
Primes are descend from the ITS system and have serious hacker credentials
I recall working on Pr1mes back in the 80's at one point at BT we had 17 750's (the largest non black installation in the country) and i had level 6 (root) on all of them plus level 7 (bendy root ) on the billing systems (13 and 02) which used map reduce back then!
Note i said "perceived" I woudl wager that that is what the average SV employee in tech would say - how would these states feel having a large number of non white h1b engineers moving in.
But moving to states (perceived to be) full of racists and nut-jobs with poor labor laws is going to help - how part of what makes SV successful is that Non competes are not enforceable.
I recall tidying up and adding meaningful prompts to one Senior guys FORTRAN IV code that run the sampling on our mixing rigs at BHRA - his original code 's interface was ? and you entered integer numbers for options which he had memorized eg 1 to run 2 to quit and so on. That was when using mixed case in Hollerith statements was considered a bit flash.
Luckily at RBI I had 3/4 spare pc's I could convert to test/linux boxes then again i worked in a small team and had a director as a boss. At home I am just setting up a hp microserver to run a small virtulised hadoop cluster. I also have done the formal Cisco CCNA to expand my knowledge and to help with being a full stack developer.
ah you mean like the tax break that the UK government gave that equated to an 8% tax free yield for rich middle class people - paid by the poor people who dont have either a suitable site or a spare 8-10 k to spend.

oops level 7 was of course beyond root not bendy :-)

The trick was not turning them off if you could at all avoid it and using specialized valves (tubes)
Funny how other one person professionals like accountant's, lawyers and plumbers etc didn't get hit with IR35

no fabulously rich people use there money to defeat the majority - just as media barrons do
well having one universal set of laws and taxes would save a lot of duplication of bureaucracy and waste
Easier to corrupt if you have hundreds of small bodies to corrupt - the UK got rid of its rotten boroughs in 1832
Oh come on it was set up to give rich landowners more power vis a vis cities packed with the unwashed masses

thats the problem with government by referendum
yeah if i where Ford id send out people to hand out flyers at the gates of Google offering special deal on the Mustang gt550 Shelby
Nah just pack heat this is murica right I got's the right to bear arms :-)
I worked with a colleague (a good Oracle dev) in British telecom who until 8 or so lived on a farm in India and tended goats
Of course not its all those greasy engineers getting above ourselves - and daring to get almost to say 70% of what a lawyer or MD would earn.
I do wonder if part of this is racialism against those from India who are the most visually obvious techies who work at SV companies.
and if you dropped it on the floor and it fired off a mag

Its not C++ and OO and for some reason C++ devs seem not to want to learn fortran for technical programming which is still fortrans main use
helped by the Nazi controlled police arresting or in some cases killing opposition MP's
Apparently in the UK at least one stolen BT van was used by thieves as cover in the past
They pulled it out via the man hole telecoms conduits are not big enough for people to get inside :-)
