In my (direct) experience most security researchers, have very poor practices in general. I come to this space from the side of anonymity and general paranoia - because I find that interesting. That paranoia leads to horrible security exper

Living in Israel I can tell you that the (current) plan involves masks and distancing for the entirety of 2021. We now have reasonable evidence that those vaccinated folks are still transmitters of the virus, and as of today, the majority o

Wasalaam ukhti, from the other side of the fence. I'm in Israel, and would love to learn more, and see how I can help from here. It could be one of our small steps that helps move the needle on peace! I'd like to introduce you to

This is the combination of things that originally led to my loving TagSpaces. I wanted local files that I could edit, have folders of varying file types, and include documents in the folders, opening as needed. Part of the issue was that I

I'm the same way. Mindmaps are by far the best tooling for how I think. They're also just not portable. I keep trying. It would be awesome if mind maps could be united with a console somehow, so that I could inject things from &qu

I use your workflow - but back (some of) my data up in O365. On linux, I use insync (closed source) to sync my O365 as needed. Insync allows me to select (within a folder) what sub-folders to mirror. It's pretty perfect.

Yes, you'd be screwed if that happens. But it's significantly less likely that they're skiffed than a telco provider, given how they work. I know way too many people who have had the latter happen - and none the former.

I keep a phone number I never answer, with a voip provider I've used for decades. That number forwards to whatever number I care about. I give out only the movable voip number, never my physical cellphone number, when it comes to servi

Actually yes. I ignore all SMSes. WhatsApp is the go-to communication method in Israel. SMS is only for government services and a company from whom I've ordered from in the past. I get zero advertising now that I moved. It's liber

Part of the issue is the meaning of privacy now. Decades were spent fighting for the right to not receive, or to receive targeted phone calls. We're now (at least my cohort) in a world where no one, ever answers the phone. Either you&#

Education. At best we're playing at the edges by making knowledge more accessible. But to wit, education is mostly trying to teach content that becomes modern, using 19th century methods. Given how important the knowledge economy is, I

Our birth rate has barely dropped. It's gone from an average of 3.11 births in 2018 to 3.08 births in 2019. Interestingly, the birth rate varies greatly by city, with Jerusalem's being twice Haifa's.

I'm in Israel - we have a self-sustaining birth rate amongst both the Jewish and Arab populations, both religious and secular. Then again culture here is very, very family based.

Digg is still the hallmark of bad redesign to me. It was so bad that it killed the company.

It's not that there's a hard OSX requirement, but Mainstage (for live mixing) dominates this field. It's incredibly low latency, and there's really nothing as good for this specific use case. Combine Mainstage with on-de

Both are true, but at different times. Eliminating an irritant or stressor can be an excellent use of money. At the same time, I get tremendous, continued happiness simply having a reproduction of my favourite piece of art in the wall in m

I agree with the former, but disagree with the latter. Keep learning, become proficient (not fluent) with many things, but don't specialize.

Been there, done that several times. Everything has risks, I've optimized for the ones I'm comfortable with.

I don't see how what I wrote led to this assumption. It's just that I don't value the shares in a startup - ever. I value the salary side, and enjoy the interesting work.

I work with startups because of the array of possibilities - none of them monetary. I've never cared about shares, and mentor folks to do the same. If you do what you love you never work a day in your life. But if you chase the pot of

You're spot on, as an Israeli I wanted to thank you for highlighting this. There are individuals in every country who perform illegal acts, that should not reflect on the country as a whole. Shukran ya habibi. In Israel we have a lot o

False headline. In most western countries eggs are unfertilized in the first place. Here in Israel that's the case.
