I understand why people are saying this is not a breach and I tend to agree. I do think there are some basic measures you can put in place to make this kind of abuse harder. The real problem is that most users don’t understand when they sig

I agree about rule number 2 although that has seemed to have changed a bit more recently with the banning of Trump and other extremely popular right wing social media users from multiple platforms

There will be false positives too and then the big question is will there be a proper appeal process or will users be forced to talk to a chat or email bot while trying to get unbanned. For some people this is their livelihood and they will

It’s not clear which leak the data is from. From the articles I read there were two leaks that the data may have come from. One in 2018 and one in 2019.

To be fair I don’t think I have ever been notified by any company when my data has been leaked and according to haveibeenpwned that has happened quite a few times. I am not a lawyer, but I find myself wondering if they are binded to GDPR in

Before I was a manager I used to always try and automate my job away. I was of course never able to completely do this and the result was never actually less work. Once you were able to automate away one task a new one would magically app

I have a hard time with this. Don’t get me wrong overall I am for banning terrorists, pedophiles etc. from services like twitch, but, it needs to be done in a smart way. The concerns I have around this is that 1. It’s not clear where you d

It’s a mistake to assume this is Israel. It very well may be, but there are a lot of other legitimate possibilities, some more likely than the other. Iran has a lot of enemies in the gulf. In Saudi Arabia’s case it is fighting a a proxy wa

It’s not making any money or being used yet (wip) and I have not had much time to work on it recently. It’s been a great project to work on though. I have had to think about how I to handle a lot of issues that come with web chat widgets,

For all of my new side projects I am all in on Phoenix live view. I couldn’t be happier, you can write web apps quickly and it is super reliable. It’s probably not the best choice for every project, but for now it lets me do a lot as a so

Peeling off the edges of the pages printed on a dot matrix printer was either super relaxing or super stressful depending on what you had just printed.

When I was 6 my parents decided to buy a PC for our home. I think it must have been a 286, but I really don’t remember. I do remember moving to a 386 and then a 486. Lots of fond memories of norton commander, wordperfect and the old versio

If the US army wants to supply one to every soldier then they will need much more than 500K units. Military equipment breaks all the time and it’s not because of poor build quality, it is constantly being put through the most extreme condit

When machine learning was a buzz word then companies started using it to describe almost everything they do. Recently I have also noticed that more companies (and PMs) are using AI in its place, at least in their marketing speak. Often the

I am agnostic, but, I don’t necessarily see this as a good thing. I was raised Jewish and as a kid we would go to the reform synagogue on and off throughout the year. My parents are completely secular (atheist and agnostic), and yet that d

From my experience you don’t need a manager to necessarily be an expert in their field, but it certainly does help. When a manager lacks the expertise then what it comes down to is how much a manager is, 1. Willing to work hard to gain the

Personally I hope we move to a hot desk approach since it will lead to much less waste, but I do agree with you that it won’t be popular. At least not right now. Still there is a chance that in two to three years everything goes back to no

Yah. I do think companies will also be more willing to accept fully remote workers, especially ones from niche or high demand fields. But what will ultimately happen is that a fully remote worker in a mostly hybrid company will be at a di

This makes a lot of sense. I don’t think offices are going to disappear but instead companies will mostly move to a hybrid approach where you are expected to be in the office 2-3 times a week. Most companies and a large amount of their emp

I can give my perspective as someone who was born in Canada but spent most of my adult life in Israel. Currently my parents are in Canada, both in their 70s and still have no idea when the vaccine will be available to them whereas I am in I

So I will give you my perspective as a hiring manager and as someone who has interviewed quite a few times in my career. I personally encourage friends, especially those that have been at their job for 5+ years to go to interviews for roles

It’s bad that Backblaze did not do their due diligence while integrating with Facebook pixel, but the bigger problem is the tendency of third party integrations having default settings that are overly aggressive when it comes to access of u

Super happy for the Stripe team. They deserve this. I have worked in payments for over 10 years and I can tell you Stripe changed the game, made payments better and made it accessible to all. Before Stripe payment processing was a nightmar

This is not just in writing, but in any form of communication including presentations or public speaking. Writing simply and learning how to present things in such a way that anyone can understand has probably been the most valuable skill f

Dalia I want to wish you the best of luck. I am an Israeli and I loved reading this. I really hope to see more and more engineers from Gaza getting opportunities like the one you have. In a previous role of mine I had the privilege of meet

There is no denying that some of them are breaking the rules and yes the weddings and funerals in which there were 100s to 1000s of people are obviously bad, but that is not proof they are breaking the rules on a larger scale than the non-h

It is, but I am not sure how you enforce it as it is extremely hard to prove. I think they should be going after the people who have been making posts encouraging this type of behavior. Unfortunately the anti-vaxxers in Israel are extremel

It’s not that simple. I am a non-heredi Israeli, but I live next to a Heredi neighborhood. Yes a lot of Heredim are breaking the rules, but so are a lot of non-heredi. I have yet to see any proof that the heredim are breaking them at a

I have a lot of complaints about how our government is handling covid-19, but I do appreciate how transparent the health ministry has been about the situation. This is a public dashboard that the health ministry created - it contains a brea
