Also true.

Both. And the issue about trying to relate it to an hourly rate is the immense unpredictability. Some months (and some companies) may have a lot of vulns in a new product and it’s open season for a bit, but then it slows down, and you’re co

True. It’s not likely to be a huge difference-maker, but it certainly belongs on a resume more than “sold 0day to foreign governments” heh

They pay much less than selling the equivalent vulnerabilities to unnamed entities (there are brokers for it). But, and this is the important part, in this case there is zero moral quandary, whereas when selling an 0day there is a significa

Things change when you live in the boroughs. For one thing, no need for LIRR; which isn’t what most people refer to when they talk about “public transit in NYC.” But also, if you take the subway regularly, there are multi-use and unlimited

You have it backwards. The reason people still drive is inertia. The reason Tokyo has more people using public transport is that it’s expensive to own a car there and they encourage and advertise public transport heavily.

Truly a missed opportunity to call it Frankie American, or Frankly American if we were going for irony.

Precisely. Couldn’t have said it better myself. Wear a jacket with the message all you want. But timing and context of the message matters. Even if I were an anarchist, I wouldn’t wear a “let’s burn it all down” jacket to the site of a mass

Actually, I can’t think of a single item that tastes better reheated in the microwave than an oven. I just recently got an Anova Precision Oven (which has steam injection in addition to otherwise just being a really good and consistent conv

It is opt-in. You have to “order” a hat.

There is typically a change of control clause too.

Building things. Those geeks don’t market well. Never did. There’s a reason Woz needed Jobs. There is just a lot more noise than signal now.

Both can be true.

That’s not how it works; you back the rent payment by a bank account. You technically could float it, but the Bilt app tries really really really hard to make sure you don’t.
676.
by borski 2y ago
It isn’t. It’s exactly the same. The only difference is that Bilt provides an ACH account number / routing number for one payment per month: rent. And if you can’t ACH, they’ll mail a check for you. That’s it. That’s the only differenc

There is a lot of “we’re nerds, and we own it” in that book. I suspect it was at least somewhat a response to the contemporaneous “ewww computer nerds are the worst kind of dweeb” nonsense that was happening in schools in the 90s. Personall

That’s fair. I meant to say the customers were all made whole well above and beyond the FDIC limit. I think that’s a good thing. I’m unconvinced the same wouldn’t happen at WF. [edit] You edited your comment with a significantly larger amou

Worse; there are people who pay others to do this for them, in private and in cash, and some of them are idiots in addition to pedophiles.

by borski 2y ago
It is. And someone will certainly make it happen. But most people don’t even know where their local small claims courts are, much less how to make a case, and lawyers cost money, and that is where most people end the conversation. Yes, you

The same is true in the US. The catch, of course, is that you’d have to sue if they don’t let you out, and most people don’t have the time, will, or means to do that.

“Mind over matter” is not a colloquialism for no reason. It doesn’t work all the time, but to say it never does is a mistake.

The upside is not tiny. There are many, many things I am far better at than most of my peers. I highly recommend reading “ADHD is Awesome” as well as Mark Suster’s blog posts on ADHD.

I quell that anxiety by reminding myself of all the superpowers it gives me. If you haven’t read “ADHD is Awesome,” I recommend it.

To be fair, cats do play with rodents and whatnot, sometimes just for fun, and bring them home to their humans as a “present” in hopes of praise. Plenty of indoor/outdoor cats do this, and while I agree that cats shouldn’t be feral, if

Yeah - sometimes things go wrong in unpredictable ways. But to say it’s been rewarding would be an understatement.

Toxoplasma gondii is not a causative factor of much of anything other than possibly toxoplasmosis. But you’d need to basically be eating cat feces for that.
