Using a Google Workspace Super Admin account for your non-admin day to day needs is similar to using your AWS root account instead of IAM users. In my experience Google Workspave support is very good. I’ve always been able to get a knowledg

If your goal is to maximize your posture against cyber threats, spending your time on SOC 2 compliance with Vanta (or similar) is a waste of time if you consider the amount of time spent compared to security gained. It's incredibly eas

Wealthfront offers the ability to blacklist stocks in your account (the feature is meant for people legally prohibited from investing in certain tickers). It won’t exclude from regular indexes, but it will exclude from the direct indexing.

For a company bringing a new technology from zero to mainstream, I think it's pretty normal that there will be a lot of failed attempts at productization. The thing that isn't normal is the degree of experimentation relative to co

I have a feeling Warren Buffet would accept that label, with a chuckle and a smirk! But I also think Buffet wouldn't characterize the current environment as particularly fearful. We haven't seen a whole lot of panic aside from a c

I wonder what a solution could look like. Perhaps keep the market cap weighting, but cap the weighting at a max $500b (or some sliding scale to prevent the top X stocks from composing more than Y% of the portfolio)

I wouldn't say it's a fallacy. It's just an interesting way to look at the data. I think more people need to be talking about the fact that the S&P 500 has extreme concentration risks that didn't exist 15+ years ago

Edit: Okay, sounds like you guys are pissed to the point where it seems like the pro tip here is to stop using GitHub. Pro tip: sign up for the business/enterprise version when reasonable in price. I do this with Google Workspace. You

I dunno, I think there's a big difference between making digital modifications to software vs. making physical modifications to hardware. The risk profile is very different and non-obvious to your average car owner. It's the diffe

We use Apple Business Manager. Locking a domain is not a requirement if you're just doing basic MDM, I'm pretty sure. (I also had a negative experience with it, so we didn't use it and everyone just uses their personal apple

> Isn’t one of the points of betting markets is to incentivize this? No. It’s an unintended side effect that risks breaking trust in the system by (the majority of) players who don’t have insider knowledge.

I mean that also sounds like a logical first step. If “AI” can predict what you need, start with that. And layer in the “do it for me” (“book me the 1pm ferry”) later on.

I think it has a lot to do with the size of the organization. If you're at a relatively small company, it's not that hard to identify and retain the top performers. If you're at a faceless megacorp, that's a different st

If applying that advice were as easy as it sounds, there would be many more billionaires in the world. If only Mt Gox didn't vaporize all of my bitcoin in the early 2010's :(

I have no unique perspective to add other than an obvious question: If the PR is low quality, why not just close/reject it? Does it matter if it's AI assisted or not?
