Assuming legitimate operations, this strategy is highly atypical in corporate finance. There is no scenario where this setup has less cumulative risk than keeping cash reserves spread evenly across the top 2-3 banks. For a startup, this is

The FDIC covers $250k per depositor , not per account , and specifically does not cover bond investments. Either your startup created 200+ entities to pull this off (good luck with the rest of compliance) and didn't do bonds at all,

I have the same setup and can vouch that it works very well. My primary threat vector is data exfiltration by a compromised binary/node_module. A script reads everything in $HOME and sends it offsite. This is challenging to defend agai

You probably have HTTP access logs and can use that to run your own calculations based on UserAgent and caniuse. We are in enterprise, and 90% of our users are on evergreen browsers, and the next 9% have a browser version from the last 18 m

This reads like a mea culpa from an indie hacker, but Fly.io had 5+ years and raised $40M to get these basic fundamentals right. And we get promises of a new status page.

Cameras paved the way to Hollywood and YouTube. The word “artist” also has become much broader in the wake of that fractal innovation, but I posit that if we had no movies or digital media, there would be many more Art Basels everywhere.

If, in an alternative universe, we had no cameras, there would be a lot more painters for portraits, news pieces, books, travel guides, etc. A notable wedding or a summit would have 5-10 artists capturing key moments. So yes, cameras did

We have two kids under 4, and among our friends, what amazes me is how different children are - and, therefore, the parenthood experience can be. One of my girls is the sweetest, calmest, most peaceful bundle of hugs. The other is a low-sle

A tester with opinions on development goes against a mostly unidirectional SDLC flow. A developer with a penchant for testability is a multi-skilled asset as they help the org to shift left on quality. The sooner you switch roles, the soone

Same. Free RHEL where being rock solid matters, Rocky where it doesn’t but I still want “basically production” level compatibility (eg CI/staging). RHEL9 is a fine distro with all modern niceties most teams need.

This jumped out at me too. Cloudflare keeps many diagnostic and debugging tools available only on the Enterprise plan (typically >$3k per month). When something like this happens to most small teams and startups, they are working in the

COVID absolutely warped kids’ brains in ways we will not understand for decades, but also kids seem to have a hardwired affinity for other kids. For example, I have a two year old who has never seen Youtube/Netflix/TV and has a re

Not quite sure which scenario you mean, but both of these work in the official RHEL distro that is free for up to 15 instances: 1. Restart is ok: automatically apply all security updates as they come out ("dnf-automatic), then restart

RHEL is free for up to 15 instances (including prod), and 9.1 has pleasantly current packages. It’s a solid choice for startups and small teams who need to minimize time spent on infrastructure.

There is no sign of external validation. You have a single prospect saying, "We might use it if you add Z/Y/Z", and that's a typical soft rejection. If "get some compliance" means they asked for SOC2, that

GitHub Org admins have the option to block all regular PATs, and only allow fine-grained tokens that they pre-approve. This block is “off” by default, but I expect the best practice soon will be to enforce this rule.

They work, but the organization needs to approve the token (and its scope). As an org admin, I prefer it this way because I can audit what access developers give out to what repositories. The new tokens are still in Beta, so there are some
