We’ll do better next time… …only to repeat the cycle in under a year and lay off another group in the exact same way.

I run a bug bounty program and I pay upon successful triage: while our engineering teams do have security SLA’s, it’s not fair to whomever reported the vulnerability to wait for our (sometimes broken) processes in order to be paid.

The Inter-American Development Bank loaned Panama the money for the Panama canal expansion, so, my thought is that the money that they're making might be tied up covering the notes for the expansion.

I thought that it couldn't demodulate DMR and other modes unless it had the hardware to do so. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, though.

The main reason that the infosec folks have paused the use of LLM's to generate code is copyright concerns: who "owns" the code that's generated, the LLM, or, the company?

Get an itinerant license. $300 bucks or so, and then you can encrypt if you use the itinerant frequency, and you don't even need frequency coordination for it. It also comes with some of the other benefits of commercial space. One of

Yes, but most companies aren’t allowing unfettered access to promoting, either. My insider risk — a developer who attempts to extract training data, a LLM being leaked of internal data, or an employee who wants to break the prompt for comp

When I worked retail tech, I would find opportunities to go to the store to figure out what the pain points were for our hourly associates, and found time to work on getting those problems removed or reduced: happier workers equal more sal

I had BetterHelp through my old job, and used their telemedicine feature...until they realized that I didn't live in a state that they had an "official" location in, so, they cancelled my membership (ironically enough, when I

Unfortunately the hospitality industry has had a harder time recovering from COVID -- most of the managers are fresh out of college and have little to no underlying experience in managing properties, and it's so bad that Hilton and Mar

IBM sold their retail technology division to Toshiba a few years ago. Most of their cash register controllers can run on x86, so, it's not dependent on their hardware for the backend. Their cash registers can run the 4690 OS or Windows

I worked at LANL for a few years as a contractor, building out their SCM tooling. I loved every minute of it and, by proxy, got to see some really really interesting projects and meet some really interesting people.

Nobody at my org did, either. Fun night when you need to reroll your credentials...at least it's nice to have a list in the CircleCI UI, but sucks when you need to make sure that you have all of the scopes available to you.

I know of a few retailers that operate on Net 270 terms for their smaller vendors (Looking at you, Home Depot) and Walmart would tell us that they would reset the 'calendar' if we would call and ask for the status of a payment. Th

I have commented in the past that the longest hiring cycle was almost 10 months at RedHat back in 2005, and I've had it be as short as a week in the early 2010's for a TechStars backed company. If a company doesn't have a hir

I am in a coworking space -- not a WeWork (only because they raised my rates to almost $3500/month for a single person office) -- and it currently has a 95% vacancy rate. In 2019, they had a 99% occupancy rate. The most successful cowo

I've been banned from both Uber and AirBnB for reporting security vulnerabilities before they had a bug bounty program. I'm now a Lifetime Diamond at Hilton Hotels, and use Lyft when I need to rideshare. Their loss.

I'm surprised it wasn't at LANL, considering one of the shops in Los Alamos near the lab has this amazing hatch chile burrito that's under $8 and is 10/10 in terms of flavor.
