   Fair. My NDAs that lasted 7 years are expiring and I still remember a number of them. Buuuut I was also hoping to hear other's experiences.

   I honestly thought Trips was a nice product. Hopefully the usefulness of the application lives on somewhere in Google. When I went to Shanghai the fist time it was incredibly useful to have downloaded reservations as my Google Fi SIM wasn

   I did a penetration test for $NATIONALINSURER and they had an FTP site with weak credentials where all the remote offices uploaded claims. Millions of records and scans of SSNs, home addresses, bank information, etc. Their mitigating contro

   While the CNN list feels somewhat variable, I'd highly recommend visiting countries that aren't on any "top destination" lists. I just got back from a trip that included Kyiv and Minsk, and I'd have to say that Min

   It's been discussed before, but what 3 words had a ton of flaws compared to other systems like pluscodes. What they do have is a great PR person who gets them fantastic advertising article like this one. https://github.com&#

   No thank you. When I use WeChat I make the obvious assumption that: everything is monitored, my location is tagged when I use WeChat wallet, my location is monitored via the app constantly, my social graph is analyzed, and more. But now tha

   Is it just me or does there seem to be a mainstream media narrative trying to stoke the fires of nationalism against China with Huawei being the current lightning rod?

    Ah sadly it's $10K plus. At this point I'm just opening an account in Hong Kong. They do CNY conversion and wires now which is amazing.

    Transferwise enables me to be successful working in Asia. The only downside is that they don't do CNY yet, otherwise I'd use them exclusively. Using banks internationally is incredibly painful and ripe for disruption.

    I do low latency network architectue for HFTs; I'm not sure there's a real world application for shaving 50us off a latency for a route outside of this industry. That said I've been impressed with Cloudflares consistent globa

    I buy Huawei gear and dislike my government attempting to limit my free market choices. Cisco was (is) just as vulnerable, people just don't talk about it because they have so many lawyers. https://artkond.com/2017&#x

    I agree on the variable engineering quality; something endemic to any company with more than 1 engineer. It would also be important to consider a well placed bribe or spy could maliciously change code at multiple points in the process. Lar

    I haven't seen much about the 'hacks' taking place. Are investigators seeing actual backdoors? Or just poor code being exploited in the wild? If it's the latter then the US could be accused of the same with Cisco in the

    I'd have to agree. For mental health it's much easier, though I do think you learn a lot about your grit in accomplishing a goal when you commit to Ramen for X time.

    I was going to make this same joke. It's hard to put faith into a product when Google keeps killing them off. Wave and Google Code are two top of mind products that I missed when they were gone. Conversely, I think it's importan
