Yeah - Tailscale came up a few weeks ago on here. I took 20 minutes to set up my entire home network (ok, maybe 30) - but got my pihole, windows server, phones, and everything else online in minutes. And then it has been reliable and stayed

Depending if your mail is internal or not, route all external messages or messages not from certain domains to an external filter. Check that less often. When you meet with people who email you a lot, sort your inbox by person, and with the

In place of short term disability, can you do paid programming / use it as a mentor / mentee opportunity for the next two months? Build relationships, help others learn… could be cool.

That sounds like a great opportunity

There are a number of things here, but it’s a lot easier to Monday Morning quarterback decisions made 20 years later after seeing outcomes of the war. There are already a ton of case studies on the Intelligence communities’ failures, and mi

I think the downvotes come because I’m saying two unpopular things - the vaccines have known side effects and aren’t perfect (and in some cases the side effects are severe) and that people should still get the vaccine (unless they have a so

You’re not wrong. I think the vaccine is much less likely to cause harm than the virus, and that it makes sense to get vaccinated. But statistics don’t matter when you’re the one who wakes up paralyzed after getting the vaccine, and people

Edit: the flagged / removed comment asked Americans when we are going to stop remembering 9/11 I don’t like the tone of your comment (“you got 9/11’d” tells me you were probably very young when it happened or have very little

I would make your team's principles / operating practices / expectations explicit and clearly lay them out. It's sort of awkward to say some of these (very basic) things, but you never know what kind of culture the new h

It’s not the 99 things you shouldn’t do that you wouldn’t do otherwise, it’s the 4 that you shouldn't be spending time on but are anyway. “We’ve always done it this way” - old habits die hard, and sometimes what you decide not to do is

I don’t find being a “tourist” is fun. It’s superficial experiences that aren’t the actual culture of a place and often are designed to take money from you as quickly as possible (Tourist Traps). It’s also long lines, crowds, influencers ta

I understand your points on backdoors, but I don't understand people trying to argue that the "Cryptographic Magic" is the bad part that will send people to prison due immediately upon "HASH COLLISIONS", in my view
224.
by mlac 5y ago
Sure. I mean, my main concern would be people planting actual illegal images. Not just colliding hashes. If anything, a handful of images that have hash collisions, once they made it to the authorities, would then be reviewed in detail and

And I also understand the concerns with this (and the potential downsides of the technology). But a motivated bad actor has a lot easier time just putting an image of the Taiwanese flag or propaganda on someone's phone than trying to m

I would expect the human review ("Swatting") to be transparent, unless it was actually CP or looked like CP, at which point the person would be taken for a ride... But this is a real threat with actual CP now. And again, there is

I don't really understand the argument that was thrown out by many people: "Attackers will frame people by planting hash collisions on their phones!" So... a) a bad actor is going to target someone, and have the resources to

We are going to see a bullwhip effect [1], it's just where and when it happens. I heard two things this morning about more car shortages (due to chips), Manheim auto auction has had extremely low volume this year, cars going at auction

Yes - the counter argument is that people who are asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic (think seasonal allergies or “it’s just a cold”) will go about their lives as normal. And this, for many, involves not washing hands after using the restro

That’s fair, but I think we will see a swing to vertically integrated supply chains to address some of this risk.

They don’t even need to raise prices necessarily to a gouging level - they can just sell product while others can’t. Build brand loyalty, take market share.

Any supplier who could actually sell right now would be able to take advantage of this market and build serious market share. So it’s a company with these reserves that will do well in a similar situation.

Along these lines, I find it to be really important to have things that I do not do well, and that I do not optimize. I tend to research and over-optimize every activity I do. Part of that is the fun I find in a hobby - I like to learn how

Even if they don’t directly own the land, at some point organizations likely service companies that would be impacted by a drop. And once an organization gets to a certain size it just makes sense to run and buy your own properties.

Exactly - board members / senior executives are the people who can afford to invest in commercial real estate.

Sorry and thank you for calling it out. I should have written “Executives with interest in commercial real estate”. From heads of consulting firms to executives with commercial real estate in their own organizations, nearly all of them have

I really do think the “old guard” has the most to lose from commercial real estate investments. Think about who sits on the board for a major company… It’s owners and executives from commercial real estate firms. There is a ton of money aro

Fair - I think my point is more along the lines of seeing one and getting a detailed look at the features. That was reserved for car shows, but now there are hundreds of YouTube videos that go into a lot of depth. And immediacy - before you

I was driving to work (a foreign experience) and Joe Walsh was singing about a Maserati. And it made me thing “man, if you grew up in middle America, hearing about a Maserati, you might not even know what it was, let alone that it existed”.

I am vaccinated and pro-vaccine, but it is not “zero issues”. There are side effects with the vaccines, and some of them are significant (partial paralysis). The numbers still work that we should get vaccinated, but it’s unclear if people w
