I beg to differ, we've run into issues with ad-blocking before and our target audience is definitely NOT on the tech-savvy side.

This. A million times this. I can’t tell you how many netsec roles are staffed by people that are content being a butt in a seat and have zero effect on the overall security of a corporation.

Fun fact: I presented Stripe an opportunity to meet or beat a proposal by Braintree. They countered with a microscopic fee decrease and wanted to lock us into a 2 year deal. Not only was the offer from Braintree way better, they gave us a b

I know you’re being downvoted for the deep state comment, but for the most part you are correct: Federal Prosecutors routinely target high profile individuals and those that receive negative press.

The card network is never liable, in your proposed scenario the bank would be the closest party. However that’s not how it works in credit card processing. The merchant always eats fraud charges unless you’re doing 3DS or chip processing. S

In the context of tech, KSA has a massive amount of wealth that they’re trying to diversify into other sectors to avoid civil unrest over the next 50 years when oil usage is decreased. So, don’t take VC money funded by KSA? It’s not that si

The problem is you need to rectify “MBS had a journalist assassinated” with “The US should stop meddling in the affairs of sovereign nations”.

I am a client of TrustPilot. We dispatch their review invites to every single one of our clients regardless of their experience. We typically have no trouble coaxing 5 star reviews.

Protip for anyone facing similar negative reviews on TrustPilot: Seek out positive reviews to counteract negative ones. You will (hopefully) find that most people have a positive experience. If you don’t find that, perhaps a negative review

My first thought. While there is definitely major hype in infosec for ICS and other physical hacks, this sounds like either a disgruntled former employee or current employee going postal. Feds probably went along with this press conference

There are countless controversies involving Robinhood. One that I only learned about a few days ago involves an investor who was erroneously shown a -$700K balance on his Robinhood account and then killed himself as a result[0]. Back in Sep

"COTS software" (commercial off-the-shelf) is the biggest meme in government contracting. I recall reading a 300+ page PDF RFP for a DMV information management system. The state wanted to convert their legacy VB5(!) system to a mo

Just a side note but Robinhood does not allow shorting on their platform. Options (calls/puts) are permitted.

I maintain accounts on Robinhood, TD, and Interactive Brokers. Typically, Robinhood is always down at market open (even on low volume days). On high volume days, IB has been down several times. However, the thinkorswim platform on TD is gre

That is a function of funding. The DMV isn’t well funded but we’ll pay 8 and 9 figure contracts to domestic intelligence agencies.

FWIW I have also seen the same body armor ads but have not seen insurrection posts. In addition, I've seen ads for gun cleaning supplies, rifle scopes, tactical equipment, dad-bod t-shirts, fish hook removal equipment, and day trading
