Yep, I’ve seen the tripling rule in scale-ups and it was brutal as it kicked in, each time. At a certain point we began to anticipate it.

Security should not, in general, have anything but awooga-awooga red lights and sirens break-glass write/change/delete/shutdown access to prod infrastructure or systems, or indeed anything that could compromise them. I’d argu

Generally, act vs monitor is the segregation of duties that I have seen best working between platform or IT ops and engineering (act) vs security ops (monitor). For many high privilege operations there are more segregation of duties in the

I’m full of admiration for people like Zhang - holding on to a dream and trying to build communities abroad to keep the dream alive. My ancestors were political and economic refugees who brought not much more than their favourite books thro

And thus us why large-scale construction companies can bid so low, because most of their revenue and profit come from the inevitable scope and requirements changes later in the projects.

Same old pattern, M&A’s are normally destructive of the acquired firm’s value, but remove risk from the acquirer that something new and good is active in the market…

Maybe more important over decadal spans: You also need to align housing policy to demographic changes such as family size, length of time that children remain living with parents, relatives or carers, as well as prevalence of work from home

If the liability is capped at the cost of the duration of the incident (70 minutes from Crowdstrike’s PR-messaging perspective) or one month’s service charge - both pretty normal in standard contracts, then it’s only outside of the contract

Just a quick follow up, I haven’t been able to find Railboard pricing in the UK that is more than 1p cheaper than Trainline, so I’ll probably stick with the latter, which also offers pan-European ticketing, which is fairly important to me.

It’s endemic in the tech security industry - they’ve been mentally colonised by ex-mil and ex-law enforcement (wannabe mil) folks for a long time. I try to use social work terms and principles in professional settings, which blows these peo

Thanks for that! Unfortunately UK only? Do you know of similar no-fee apps for pan-European travel?

Just for rail, I quite like trainline.com. It tries to hide the madness that is very poor national/private rail service and their ticketing regimes, but really there’s only so much you can do, so often I get two or more tickets for leg

Automated CI/CD - many of us already do this hundreds of times a day. If you’re an emergency call centre, join a consortium of similar orgs and standardise tech and do it properly. Defer updates. Most things can wait 8-12 hours. Even m

Momentum is probably more of a correlation than mode of transport. Real world experience: hit by a bike versus hit by a moped, each time on a “vehicle free” footpath. One was not like the other.

Like a lot of things, start with reviewing what works elsewhere, start some pilots, and what works do bigger and bigger rollouts. Like, use data. If marketers and TikTok can trick us so easily using these techniques we can do the same in so
