Audits are a checkbox exercise. But like before every flight, pilots complete a checklist, checking boxes just like an audit. It takes a culture of following through with what you say you do and SOC2 is at least a 2-part audit that has you

Interesting that there is a significant price disparity between locations for what is ostensibly a global service. Central Minnesota isn’t that different in terms of availability of services from my corner of Ohio either. We have 3 fiber pr

Where do you live? Because Starlink is double my current internet plan for half the bandwidth and at least 10x in latency. I am not seeing a plan on Starlink’s website that is lower than $120 a month for unlimited data. I live in rural Ohio

This[0] is just the first result searching and it is from this week too. But it is not uncommon. Insider threats to infrastructure exist at all times of course but a disgruntled employee with administrative access and knowledge of the infra

Land owners make up a plurality of voters. In some cases those land owners are retirees living in a house they bought 45 years ago others are people who own 500 houses. The land value tax “equally” punishes them for their inefficient land u

Would you like your Facebook feed or Twitter or even Hacker News feed inserted in between your work emails or while you are shopping for clothes on a completely different website? If you answer no, does that make you an unwilling user of so

If you didn’t know about itch.io the creator of Baba is You publishes all their games there (ones not even on Steam too), you can get DRM free copies there.

Passkeys are quite disappointing in practice. I feel like they were described as ssh keys for website logins but they seem to be half-baked. Accessibility concerns and vendor lock-in are certainly an issue. Definitely stick to keeping passw

The Copilot integrated with Microsoft 365 doesn’t have a model switcher it just is what it is. You are talking about a completely different product that Microsoft calls the same names.

Do Waymo’s have a staff member riding in them? And these don’t seem to be the fully autonomous two-seater cars Tesla showed off last year.

Is it not possible to track all transactions on the blockchain? It would then seem trivial to implement a block list of wallets that have engaged in behaviors that the government wants to ban, including money laundering like Tornado cash an

What makes a strategic bitcoin reserve make more sense than like a strategic oil reserve or a sovereign wealth fund with a highly diversified portfolio? I mean isn’t this like Texas just saying they are going to budget buying a bunch of Nvi

So do you think something like how it worked during the Wildcat banking era or not having a fiat currency would be an improvement? Because neither of those periods were as stable economically as today is.

Well I would hardly say that protections against being obliterated in a global ransomware attack that comes out after the ransomware attack occurs helps the victims that much but yes it is possible if there is another massive cyber attack M

It affected anything using SMBv1 and improperly configured SMBv2. SMBv3 requires all mitigations in place Which from what I understand is that even Windows 11 still has support for SMBv1. But my point was that your standard “up to date” XP

It only took about 7 years between XP’s EOL and EternalBlue based attacks like Wannacry and NotPetya. A well configured firewall between your computer and the internet, uBlock Origin in the browser, and not downloading untrusted files off t

Doing the math, even in the worst circumstances (very cold or very hot temperatures) with a 300 mile range battery that you max out at 80% charge and avoid going below 10% charge, I can get back the majority of my commute and even have enou

We could probably double our solar and battery capacity in the same time as it takes to build a Nuclear Power plant even with removing all the barriers. I was excited for using mini-reactors in coal plants but then when I realized that form

I mean officially Apple no longer supports 32-bit applications, so it’s not a stretch to say they will completely drop x86 support. How many PowerPC MacOS apps work still?

Medicaid work requirements make about as much sense as saying Social Security recipients need to work a minimum number of hours each week they want to collect their benefits.

No. All levels of governments in the United States spend somewhere around 14 trillion though so we need to look into raising some kind of tax to cover that or make significant cuts or probably more likely both. In my opinion a Land Value Ta

The Single Tax is just that. And extracting (or not extracting) natural resources off the land would either count towards or against the unimproved land value depending on how we value it in that specific context. The second tax you bring u

You’re reading too much into the half-assed back of the napkin math I used. The simple dumb end I posit is compared to the Somer method in the linked post. The Somer method is night and day. The point is that the numbers add up to fully fun

If we said an acre of land in New York City is only worth $14,000 and an acre of land in middle of nowhere North Dakota was equally worth $14,000 that it wouldn’t have some kind of distortionary effect?

As an advocate for the Single Tax this is a great article explaining a land valuation method I had never heard of before. This would work locally, maybe even up to the county level but how would we reach a consensus at the State and Federal
