Ok, with the current huge Canvas breach 5/1/2026 [0], you're going to be able to compare the responses from Canvas, education systems and individual colleges across US, Canada, Australia, UK, Sweden, etc. Specifically, what,

You mean graduates of US colleges? Not colleges in general. Or non-technical graduates of US colleges?

(Why did this get downvoted? I'm genuinely interested in how CNN went from being a premium news source (Somalia 1993) to the current thing, after several takeovers. This has contemporary relevance, like an inability to make objective c

I share your outrage about companies abusing users' data, but we're mixing up several different things: - the Vastaamo ex-CEO was in fact criminally tried and convicted (even if that conviction was overturned on eventual appeal) a

They did: the Finnish CEO was criminally charged and convicted (under GDPR); that never happens in the US. (I wasn't aware it was overturned on appeal in 12/2025, neither is Wikipedia currently). They did face consequences. That e

Yes. The 2018-9 breach and cyberextortion involving Finland's mental-health startup Vastaamo. - CEO Ville Tapio was convicted criminally under the GDPR. - The company failed in 2021. - Finland's NBI tightened criminal code on priv

I don't think so. In latter decades CNN descended into a spin zone with blatant conflicts-of-interest, such as: - CNN anchor Suzanne Malveaux was married to Karine Jean-Pierre (Biden's press sec, 2022-5) - CNN anchor Christiane Am

But you posted here under the overly broad headline (not "Meetings can be forcing functions", or "How to make meetings forcing functions") with its overly broad claims. Also you asserted "One effective solution i

No, your claims are too broad, generalizing from specific instance (apparently a small company, high accountability, no diagonal lines or conflicting organizational incentives). A standup meeting to try to ensure visibility and accountabili

The comment said "in the 90s". Windows XP was only released 10/2001. So how stable were Windows 95, or Windows 3.x, IYE?

That zerohedge title now says "Trump Evacuated As Shots Fired at White House Correspondents' Dinner, Shooter In Custody" . Was that your editorialization or theirs? I doubt it was theirs.

Don't become so cynical. Congress has an obligation to be consulted on wars and withhold consent/budget. (Even if they were merrily trading on events). Perhaps one of the silver linings we eventually get from current happenings is

That's just a tech version of the age-old hostile (panel) interview. I don't think it's a useful interview practice, at least in tech, below director level, but you just have to keep your composure and gently assert control.

Curious, which app/ forum/ subreddit/ group were you a tween debatelord on, and in what years? (got a link, so we can see?) To what extent did your formation depend on that crowd and its cultural values?
