That person has some serious issues. Addiction is nothing to make fun off. I feel sorry for his wife, his children and for him as well.
One of the best bosses I had was one who went home early. He also gave us the better hotels when away, because he said "It is the only way I can compensate for the time you have away from your family and friends." And I have had several managers and even CEOs who thought like that.
But then it is not uncommon in Europe. (Yes, there are assholes as well, who only think profit and hours.)
You were done when the work was done, not when the clock hit five.
That is not what my contract theat was signed by both parties tells me. It tells me that I have to work X hours. This means that if I am done in 4, I can sit on my ass for 4 hours before I go home.
AlsO: if I am unable to finish, I get to go home. By being an emnployee, I give up certain rights and I gain certain rights. I know plenty of people who do not like this and become indepentents.
That said, overtime can still be done under specific conditions. At least for me: 1) It is exceptional. 2) It is compensated. 3) Flexibilaty goes both ways.
If it isn't exceptional, they are understaffed. Need to hire more people or do other things to lower the work.
If it is not compensated, they are just looking for cheap labour. Compensation where I work is 1.5 pay. That discourages them from doing 1. Some companies will give it in hours, instead of money. e.g. work the weekend and get 3 days or 4 days paid holday extra. Or work 3 days 2 extra hours for an extra holiday.
The flecability is also both ways. When they ask me to work an extra hour, instead of extra pay or extra hours, I leave an hour earlier. Anbd sometimes I will even offer to work an extra hour, so I can leave earlier on friday.
But I am hired for X amount of hours. That is what they get.
Now if you have a job where you are signed for a specific task, you are right. However most people are NOT hired for a specific task as an employee. They hire consultants for specific tasks, not employees. You will be hired with a much broader specification and that specification can (and will) change over time.
Even if there was an engineer who came up with the idea all by himself, the responsability is still with the CxO. That is his job, being responsible for shit and stuff.
And if the engineer somehow would have been able to let nobody know what he was doing, the CxO is STILL responsible for the product that comes out of the factory. The "Wir haben es nicht gewusst." (We did not know.) defence might not work that well in Germany.
For many people the journey is the destination. e.g. I would love to go from Europe to Autralia by car (and some boats) instead of by plane. And to Africa. And the America's.
Persons are smart, people are stupid. That has nothing to do with crypto or security. There is plenty I have no clue about. One of the issues with security is calling the users stupid and idiots, instead of seeing what is possible to do what is needed.
However instead of adding GPG as an opt out in email and shoving that down peoples throat, the IT people rather had topposting and HTML as a priority.
PGP (and GPG) could have been a standard in email a LONG time ago. How many emails do you get from companies that include one? I have not gotten one. Just a nice HTML with links to hopefully their website and some general information how they care about my security.
They (google) are forcing HTTPS down our throat, because then the competition is a bit easier blocked. Not so with email, because then they can't read it.
Security is low on the priority ladder and if thingsgo wrong, the victim gets blamed. Mopst "security measurements" are just there as to reflect responsability. "You used the same letter as in one of your other 200 passwords. You are at fault." Could as well said that I am guilty, because I wore aa short skirt.
Please understand this is not directed at you, but at IT in general. Too few try to do the right thing and understand that the end user is part of the system, not just something outside of it.
These are pretty thin arguments to make in a US court.
That is a problem with US court. Can China ask for people to be extradited from the US because they posted something they did not like it and that it is, according to them, a security risk of National Importance? Probably not, right?
And even if he does not has any extra infomation, he will be used as an example to deter others.
Say I want to look for hospital staff/garbage disposal representative, I could look up at people who apply and people who did it succesfull in the past to find the people who are most qualified.
If I find that one gender is more represented than the other, this is bias, right? When I adjust this, I will then misrepresent the percentage of people who apply.
There are several things that can happen: 1) He is deported to Sweden, questioned and released 2) He is deported to Sweden and then send to Gitmo, the US or somewhere else 3) He is questioned in the UK and released.
The fact that the US wqill not get involved could mean that they want to paint him now as a silly person and play the "See we told you we wanted to do notiong"-card. If that is the case, in a few months he WILL be deprted somehow to the US.
It could also be that he is deprted to Sweden and convicted there. Swedes taker the blam for it, while the Mericans where the force behind it. I think that is the most likely situation.
And as a convicted criminal, they can make his life miserable in a lot of ways. Limiting his access to countries, putting him on a no-fly list and a lot of other legal shit.
Becausxe we all know the rape allegations where withrawn, so this has not been about the (Swedish legal definition of) rape in a long time.

The one, true response and I've got no cyber points.
FTFY
That will not go well with the old National Security Agency. Better reform that and the rest. Having another overlapping agency is useless.
Probably just based on mixing up India and Indiana. They are not the first to mix this up.
Other places they where interested in building are Georgia and New Mexico.
Being full of yourself is not a crime, no matter how justified that might sound.
That makes the fact that they go after him even worse.

When looking at tradewars: also with Europe. But then, have we not always been at war with Eur-Asia?

None of the places I have worked uses pgp. And how many public anouncements have you seen that have a pgp signature?
Most companies think 'zip' is encryption.
I would prefer to have had a robot,txt that does an include, not an exclude. So opt in and not opt out. Oh well, bit late now.
58,500,000 not one more. Not one less. No grounding up or down.
Or exactly does mean something different.

The rest of the world also know that the US has no left left. You can vote either right or lunatic.

I personal;y have a very simple risk analysis method. It is 50%. Either is happens, or it doesn't.

Google does not listen to what users want, it will just see if it can get tge highest yield from their product.
They are pretty good at that. Big brother meets animal farm. See ya all at the slaughter house.
Yeah, but how do they know it is an internal site once they get the data back from their own DNS build in server?
Either the guy is guilty or the police is at fault. That second one is not really an option.
He is not guilty of using earbuds. He us guitly of using a phone.

In the past 10 years or so I logged into the website of the Belgian IRS, verified that all was OK and was done within 2 minutes.
