When you book a hotel you will be fined and arrested until you can prove who you are? That's the use case being promoted.

Yes the police for sure, but this is normalising full ID verification everywhere. At some point there will be a situation where you cannot do anything because you are in the 0.01% of the system that is broken.

The issue is more what happens when you buy a new phone or lose the old one. Then you need the full iCloud details and password. More than one person I know has got to that state and have no idea what it was. They don't even know what

What happens if I don't want to identify myself? What happens if poverty does not allow me to carry a digital ID? What happens if I lose my digital ID wallet or it is compromised? Also judging by dealing with the average citizen on a d

You’re right but they are the only ones shipping in something that isn’t a turd.

This is similar to how the city of London police financial crimes unit operate.

I think they’re mostly leveraging the fact that their audience doesn’t understand those facts. Which is exactly how Tesla himself operated with the odd success here and there.

What’s even more worrying is the numerous accidents hiding in a $700k a month bill which is our problem.

It depends how you look at it and this twitter post takes only one perspective. Mine is different. The security I'm interested in for my use case is that there is one egress point from the operating system as far as a browser goes. Tha

We sort of waltzed around that one with PV's on EBS on Amazon and also shifted the control plane to them. But there are still some serious problems in that space.

The two things thing that gets me are: 1. Latch up states . It's very very easy for something to go wrong and blow a whole deployment up and lose all the pods for example a health check failure. Most application frameworks have some s

Not always. Fine example is the cheap STM32 based PLC I bought. The thing was so badly designed you couldn’t plug an RS232 cable into it because the casing was in the way of the connector. When approaching the vendor, with photos, I got off

Yes orders of magnitude more accountable than the religious contribution to ethics of an individual.

Devops is a failure only when you have the wrong people on the job. Which is nearly all the time because only 1 in 20 engineers has the ability to do both operational and development work to a standard high enough not to put your organisati

The corporation is more likely to be accountable from experience.

I think you entirely managed to miss the point there. People don't tell you they lost their faith. They just stop following their code of ethics that was bound to it. I trust a faceless corporation over this attitude.

This scares me slightly. When I see a code of ethics bound to faith, I have to wonder what happens if the faith disappears. Experience says lots of people get hurt. I don't wish that on anyone. Ethical stance must stand alone unconditi

Definitely subjective. Sounds like hell to me. But i respect anyone with enough energy to actually do something.

That sounds like our purchasing department. AWS always gets business first now because we don’t have to raise a PO

This smells like a beer goggles purchase which is being retrospectively justified.

I'd just like to fess up here. I use github desktop because I'm fucking lazy. No one knows this because I work from home.

AWS solution arch professional cert. A one eyed monkey could pass but it legitimately got me a lot of contract work as it’s a lazy tick box as most people only bothered with the associate level one. Genuinely though certs don’t really add v

This is what I do. Even though I understand git really well it’s quicker to just blow it away and start again rather than accidentally make it worse realising you didn’t understand it as well as you thought you did. Fortune favours the lazy

Similar experience here. Just shipped 20 off to a recycler. They didn’t even get to a year old. Replaced with thinkpad L series which suck but at least they actually work.

The chimps were artificially infected with rage. The original rage was isolated from someone after 30 minutes in visual studio classic on a corporate managed Citrix deployment.

Which much like Amazon's GitHub alternative, absolutely no one will use.
