If I wanted to phish for personal information that I could use for other attacks, I would set up a public service where people could send all their apparent scams and then go looking for all the personal data that is leaking through. I coul

There is another factor that everyone is ignoring here. Some people are just much more sensitive to that kind of pain. If you Lymphadema, or especially Lipodemia, you are much more likely to experience a lot of pain even when a manual sph

At least where we were, you needed a special permit to work if you were under 18, and at the time that would allow kids as young as 14 into the workforce. But, they could only work part-time. I did that later during the summer between my

Funny. My family moved in the summer between 5th and 6th grade. But they didn’t have enough money to pay for my school lunches — my dad was a poorly paid teacher at the local University, and I don’t remember what poorly paid work my mom h

At Amazon, that would be called Unregretted Attrition. So, teams are known to hire people, fully expecting to turn around and fire them before the end of the year. That way, they can provide the churn that is required, without actually los

Correction, the fat cats who own ERCOT don’t like that. Your regular run of the mill Texan may not care one way or the other, most times. But if they get into a crunch where their electric bills are much higher, I assure you that they will

My plumber says that there are no wipes that are actually flushable, regardless of any claims made on the packaging. We all know about advertisements and how companies lie to us. Why would this be any different? I’m not taking any risks wi

Opera is based on Chrome, and therefore does not belong in this comparison. Safari would be a better example.

But there is no Pepsi cola to compete with it. And there’s the problem.

Years after I married her, I discovered that my wife had partially paid for college by baking cakes for weddings and other events. Yes, she used the Cake Bible. I saw some of her Polaroid pictures she had taken of some of the cakes she ha

I thought the real damage of management over engineering was done when they merged with McDonnell Douglas, and it was the MDD managers who got put into all the cushy higher level jobs? Or did that happen twice?

It’s called “shrinkflation”.

Not according to my plumber. Feel free to pay thousands of dollars in plumbing bills when your pipes clog up, if you like. We’ve had our pipes clog up, and paid thousands of dollars. Fortunately for us, it wasn’t so-called flushable wipes

That’s why I sign up with virtual credit cards from privacy.com. If I don’t like the service, then I can cancel the card. And I can limit them to how much money can be taken out per transaction, or per month, or per year, or total. Or the

Now that would be a violation of federal law. I would inform the store that my wife is a lawyer, and we can have her law firm contact their law firm to discuss why they are in violation of federal law. Then I would ask them if they want to

Technically, they’re still a creditor, and creditors get special privileges when it comes to things like that. So, while I would refuse, it’s probably not a violation of federal law.

There are people who have fallen for a phishing e-mail, and those who have not yet knowingly fallen for a phishing e-mail. No one is perfect. No one is invulnerable. All human beings are fallible. Given the current state of LLMs and Gener

Flooding can come in many forms. Perhaps the balcony over your front door is not properly constructed and is not properly shedding rain, so one day during a torrential thunderstorm you suddenly have a flood coming in OVER your front door. P

I think it depends on who is paying the inspector. When we bought our house, the realtor we were working with connected us with her best and most rigorous inspector. He found fifty pages worth of stuff that was wrong, but most of them wer

Amazon is certainly not the only company to do RTO. Nor are they the only company to do stack ranking. Nor are they the only company to do “hire for firing”, which is what unregretted attrition is basically about. So far, they do seem to

No, it’s just that the soft layoffs are coming to an end. You’re going to start seeing more Intel-style layoffs soon.

They are also tracking when you badge in for the first time in the day, and when you badge out for the last time, and all the times in between. Because of course you have to badge out and back in again to go to the bathroom or the cafe. Th

The RTO requirement at Amazon was the penultimate straw for me. The final straw was when we got the word that we would be required to move so that we would be co-located with our management in the HQ2 offices, or we would have to find alter

This looks very cool! My question is, how do you get the floorplans to use as the baseline map for this tool?
