Mind expanding on this? Why are better protocols incomprehensible? I find it hard to believe big orgs like Cloudflare, Google, etc. wouldn't be very interested in abstractions that save them or make them money, but I've been surpr

This is a simplification of the problem. Both: 1. Vulnerable populations need more assistance accessing essential services required to participate in society 2. Service providers need to maintain a reasonable level of security for their cus

This is true of a lot of main stream video games, but there's a whole genre of games that are much more wholesome, slice-of-life experiences. Consider: Harvest Moon, Stardew Valley, Slime Rancher, and Katamari Damacy—all of which are s

This is part of it. I think the rise in fertility options plays a part here as well—many people are choosing to start families later in life than was realistic or possible 20 years prior. This has been a well observed trend that has been go

I think the point GP is trying to make is that sometimes state governments try to get involved in marriage and having a federal policy that preempts that can prevent further meddling. This cuts both ways—with preemption, you can provide b

I'm always impressed at how much the type system in TS is capable of. The provided examples remind me of what I'd expect in something like Rust; it brings me joy that we can do this sort of stuff in our frontend code and tooling t

I hear USPS worked phenomenally well until it became a political target. I think the issue is less that we can’t and more that we won’t support or improve these systems for ideological reasons.

I’d love to see a thorough breakdown of what that opposing stance is. How is medicine, a service that is non-negotiable (e.g. you can die without it) in a position to work without problems in a completely free market? I’m any free market, y

I do similar, though only a few times per year. I also advise all my colleagues (and sometimes managers!) to do likewise. My rationale: 1. Interviewing is a career skill that has an outsized influence on your earning potential. You need to

It goes further back, actually—IIRC there was a DoTA custom map on StarCraft: Brood Wars. It has no resemblance to the DoTA of today, or even the one on Warcraft, but the lineage of that game goes back further than a lot of people are aware

Speculation aside, this means you have a bad interview process. If your interview isn't screening for the work you want somebody to do then it's not a good metric for finding successful employees.

This is an absolutely valid concern. The answer here, unfortunate as it is, is trust. There's probably things they can do here to remove the need for an actual identity (Mullvad's payment model comes to mind), but I suspect that t

Compliance is performative until it isn't. If you've ever been party to a breach, the role of compliance and an audit trail to the security narrative becomes _very_ important. Consider: 1. We had a breach. A factor in this was ins

This comes up a lot and comes down to the fact that we overload the concept of a prison sentence with both punishment and reform. Sadly, they are typically not conducive to each other. Recidivism rates in the US are terrible because we have

I'm not an economist and don't really understand your refutation. To help me understand your viewpoint, could you explain in simple language why government spending or policy is the only source and cause of inflation? Please corre

I think the take-away here is that we can manufacture the same product (kerosene aka aviation gas) without the traditional inputs (oil/petroleum). This seems like a good capability in and of itself. Not sure what the economics look lik

This is true up to the point of food scarcity. Between geopolitical conflict and crop failures around the world this year due to severe heat waves, we’re looking at a rough few years ahead of us for the global food supply.

I don't disagree with the fact that we should manage our performance (and career growth!), but this is a problem for after one is hired. I'm not even sure how you'd go about putting reasonable or realistic expectations on som

This is a management problem, not an employee problem. Figuring out if I can be outperformed by someone working less hours than me is irrelevant to my relationship to my employer. I'd go further to say that it's irrelevant barring

Thank you for the fantastic response, I always enjoy seeing how folks approach these problems. Your points about inconsistency between how vendors vs OS distributions handle things is well taken and mirrors some things I've seen. Pleas

Some organizations do do this and they call them product security engineers or similar. Sadly, this doesn’t remove the need for an informed organization at large—that function covers a lot more than securing code—but it’s absolutely somethi

Hi! Question from a fellow practitioner: What tools or processes do you and your team use to identify false positives in such scans and reports? How do you track out-of-band mitigations against real-but-unreachable vulnerabilities that have

Many advisory jobs fall into this bucket. I'm of the impression that anybody who reaches senior/staff+ roles end up doing this as part of their day to day.

Security engineer here. This is sadly common. The grim fact seems to be that we have a dearth of information security analysts with engineering experience. If they don't have "Engineer" or similar in their title, odds are the
