IME working as a team in large companies is dangerously entrepreneurial. What I mean is that there is loose guidance on what needs solving and then it's up to you to figure out how to solve using what you have. If you stray from the or

I did not get that from TFA. I interpreted it as "know your customers and communicate with them". This applies to everything in life. It's especially relevant in big companies because it's easy to forget that you are for

Yeah, but you left an impression and if you had something you needed from their department you could reach out cold and get a warm welcome.

I think the difference is that technical and business leadership at a bank understand that data is lifeblood. Bad data will get you on the front page of WSJ and a phone call from a regulator in Luxembourg. For a lot of smaller Internet comp

The article isn't clear whether they self reported or were made aware. The affidavit mentioned someone reported they had accessed the passwords multiple times before it was taken down. Seems to me someone reported it to the GOP.

This is assuming an unimplemented idea has value. I think the value we attribute to an idea is actually the dissemination of the idea to others. Often a sufficiently radical idea is difficult for others to grasp and therefore an example mus
