From first hand experience I can tell you that Uber was recruiting to start their information security program at least 18 months ago and when I spoke to their software engineers and SREs they had a decent understanding of modern security i

I'm a security guy and I've worked in these kinds of environments and it really sucked. These days whenever someone proposes creating an air gapped network for a secret project I spend a lot of time enumerating the extreme costs o

I definitely think the Bigend Trilogy is as strong as the Sprawl Trilogy. Pattern Recognition and Neuromancer are my two favorite of his novels. Sadly however, I'm having trouble with The Peripheral (his latest), maybe it'll grab

Accelerando by Charles Stross is the book you're thinking of.

That makes the price knowable, I don't think that's the same as fair. Lyft and Uber will both tell you if the price for the ride you're requesting will be higher than usual so in that sense their prices are just as knowable.

YMMV but I know at least one E-3 holder that ended up with a green card. The E-3 isn't explicitly a dual intent visa but my understanding is that you can't be denied an E-3 specifically for having applied for a green card. If you&

I'll take any interest free loan that I can get, offsetting today's gains to lower my tax bill means more money to invest. I agree that in many situations tax loss harvesting isn't helpful and even in the best case it's

Thanks for the tip about Schwab, looks interesting, especially the 'free' part. Thinking about it, basis points feel too expensive for something that's done entirely in software. I suspect competition from existing players wi

It could also be that their semi-formal third party security team is now a formal team. Previously it was less than a full time project but more than a 20% project for many of Google's vulnerability researchers. I guess that'd hav

I recently left Google (about a month ago) but in my roughly 18 months at Google I was always working on 3 or 4 projects of my own choosing outside of my 'day job'. They each took up between 5-15% of my time so I'm happy lump
