Apparently a 'hacker' used 'social engineering' to pull this off. All they did was know how to spreadsheet. So I guess I should just add 'knows speadsheets' to my resume instead of studying and sitting for yet

The whole 'two billion people can read the Arabic alphabet to some degree' is a weird claim. Maybe it's possible, but there aren't two billion people with functional Arabic literacy. Most Arabic is written without small

It's unclear whether this is for all employees, so I'd take it with a grain of salt. For example, my position is virtual--meaning I can work anywhere within my state and don't have a physical office

It's a silly argument. Me donating half my salary, today, doesn't make any sense because it won't materially impact anything. If there were a stronger social safety net and everyone had to pay a bit more in tax, then that wou

I didn't find it necessary to go back to school to get a technical undergrad degree. I taught myself IT and got certs instead. I was able to use those certs to break into the industry, and eventually get hired by AWS.

I started over in my 30s. Here's what happened generally: 1.) Graduated with a degree that had very limited options post-graduation 2.) Worked dead-end jobs 3.) Got tired of said dead-end jobs, and started teaching myself Linux and AWS

I think the correct term for why he's dressed like that is tacticool. Gotta make sure you break up your silhouette using a desert camo pattern in the well-known desert of Adams County, Ohio.

Pay-to-win games are generally video games which have one ruleset. Playing Magic in tournaments has largely been P2W for decades. It's a collectable card game, so the cards have varying rarity. The more powerful cards cost more on the

It's hard to give specific advice without knowing what your cybersecurity experience is. But I'd make sure the boss knows going into the audit the company is going to have its ass handed to them. But that's actually a good th

While my experience is over 15 years old now, it was a common practice for the majority of beer distributors at the time.

Many court cases interpret or discard wording to make whatever ruling they want. For example, the blatant disregard of the 9th amendment when it comes to privacy and health care decisions. Heller explains how a Court interpreted (and disreg

Disks are wiped immediately before they are made available as a new volume. If your policies require a certain level of wipe, you should wipe the disk before releasing it.

Marvel United is the best board game I got into this year. It's fun, I love the IP, and it doesn't take 45 minutes to set up.

If the assumption is that liberal arts majors can't do or work in tech, please don't tell my manager. I'd hate to get fired from my tech role at AWS because of my degree. Journalists can research industries and talk about job

This is my experience, too. I've mostly stopped responding to comments where people talk about how bad Amazon is. I've never experienced the horror stories despite being here longer than the average tenure and working in three sep

All this compounded by the fact AWS builds on AWS. So there can be a disruption of a service, but it's not really the service's fault -- it's a upstream failure.

Like the other responder said, the Cowgirl is good. There are other mechanized things like that. There's also custom built beds and other pieces of furniture. A lot of my spending comes in the form of impact toys like floggers and padd

I have a percussion massager. I also have literally thousands of dollars in sex toys. (Pro tip: You get what you pay for, and good stuff isn't cheap). Percussion massagers are not sex toys. You might be able to modify one to be a sex t

What does that mean though? The whole 'suspect is holding a hostage as a human shield so you shoot the suspect before they kill the hostage' is a fun trope for TV and movies, but that's not how things work in real life. Also,

In the legal sense, a 'Ponzi Scheme' has a specific meaning. In conversation, the definition is a bit looser. Sorta like how expressive has a different definition when you say 'that is an expressive programming language'

AWS has at least 3 publicly-discussed 'clouds' (or partitions, as they're called at AWS). There may or may not be other partitions that cannot be discussed publicly.

There's legal implications that I don't understand fully. But laying off people you have already defined as poor performers can be a hedge against lawsuits for wrongful termination including the WARN act (and other state laws). Fo

It may be a risk borne by every cloud provider, but why does this only really happen to Microsoft among large providers? As far as chip shortages, it probably helps that Amazon makes its own chips. Microsoft could do the same rather than ru

It'll be sufficient for known malware. But if malware hasn't been identified yet, VirusTotal won't pick it up. Is it possible that you can download malware and VirusTotal not pick it up? there's a small chance. But, in m

They absolutely had to know that they were breaking US copyright law. And you don't mess the bottom lines of US-based companies, or Uncle Sam is coming for you. As a poor kid who put themselves through college, I definitely sympathize
