Being the one who decides to pay or not pay bounties in our bug bounty program: trust me when I say that the internal discussion, fact finding, classification, quality control, release planning & the rest exceeds your bounty by a factor 10.

Same goes for the dialogs with unhappy hunters who like 'proof' for the arguments that a bug / vulnerability is not there.

There is literally no financial incentive for me at all to not reward, au contraire actually.

THANKS!

Never knew a livestream existed and now I'm clued to my headset.

Exactly this: if your house / environment is well adjusted to the circumstances it makes a much bigger impact on the overall experience then the average temperature.

Switzerland as in my example, is about as close to perfect as I have experienced. Yes we get snow in the winter, yes it get hotish (up to 38C.) in the summer, but the houses and streets and road services are all well capable of handling these fluctuations.

EDIT:

"In Bern, the summers are comfortable and wet, the winters are very cold, and it is partly cloudy year round. Over the course of the year, the temperature typically varies from -4°C to 24°C (in freedoms: 26°F to 76°F) and is rarely below -10°C or above 30°C. (14°F or above 86°F)"

Not so much wanting the other to die, but knowing / wishing it will be the only / first opportunity to make a bid / acquire the object.

People have been doing this since forever to buy real estate too.

Overtaking is a big word, you maybe meant passing? With the keep your lane doctrine that is something to be expected.

Here in Switzerland we are allowed to PASS traffic on the right hand side to (since Jan.01.2021). But you are NOT allowed to overtake, as in change lanes actively.

Take a picture of a tree, have it identified & published with location in / on OpenTrees.

Incredible... I am flabbergasted that 1: this data is collected and shared, 2: there is some good soul who figured out how to gather these sources and make it available to the world.

I would love an app that lets me walk my city, picture trees and expand the data set.

(Un-)fortunately, just photographing a QR code(0) with the mentioned SSID does not work ("Unable to join the network "%p%s%s%s%s%n").

Don't have a quick way to setup a WiFi with the specific SSID ATM. Would be interested to see if that works.

I wanted to experiment with using Pi's to monitor experimental setups, instead of using full-on PCs as we do now, which would save a ton of money.

Because the costs you think of are but a fraction of the costs that are involved in keeping them accounted for, updated, monitored etc.

I have these discussions with creative individuals far too often :)

We are experimenting with a couple of RASP providers, let me tell you that it does help with certain aspects (of finding issues) but it does not replace the other tooling we are already using.

So the costs / resources are not to be underestimated.

Good thing about many RASP solutions is that they integrate easily into our existing developers processes / tooling, so that's a big endorsement.

Don't tell the people who are convicted / took a plea deal based on "Telco location" this.

As you can tell from your experiment, these locations are... rough to say it nicely. This is truly helpful for the investigating party, since their counterparts are not aware and they can move / interpret your device's location to that point they would like you to be. The accuracy is however... not so great as they will present it to you / the judge.

Well thank you! I never knew I needed this but I seem to have a hidden desire to read & view all these abandoned / retired airfields in the country surrounding me. I will even try to visit some.

It is much easier (and more often done) to implement a solution for a static position. Many embassies and other highly sensitive locations have these, commercially available, installations.

We used to build them for fun (no profit) many moons ago.

Basically what you do is place a couple of (1, 2 or whatever) sensors (we used to use these Motorola C123 with osmocom) and just keep taps on signal strength and antenna ID over time, and inspect changes.

Never had these before and now that I do, I do not like it.

There is nothing to say, I do my job, you do yours: leave me alone.

We get team meetings twice a week where we discuss workload and trivia, what can a 1 on 1 possibly add?

I see these as something that looks 'nice' in a manager's agenda ("Man, you are fully booked out, you work hard!") but add nothing to the efficiency. Go and produce something, solve a problem, that's how you earn my respect.

If I need you, or you need me: contact me based on demand.

"Oh the consequences of my own actions!" -- Jean-Philippe Gaudin, most likely.

I am proud that he has been removed from his position. The initial reaction of my beloved government to this case was not so strong and open as I had hoped, but this is at least a "clear" statement that his betrayal is not tolerated / swept under the carpet.

Now let's hope that this is the end of the drama that "Swiss encryption" has been exposed to and the brand "Swiss neutrality" does not suffer more.

Look for older people. I know I contracted my ass off while I needed to build my wealth, after that I changed to less demanding jobs and started caring about holidays & colleags & raises.

I find it equally demoralising but simply let some expert do these things for a couple of hours a week and find my characters all geared up and ready to go when I feel like playing.

May I ask why you don't just simply let these brain dead grinds be done by someone else?

Hi, yeah that would be me, the guy who "skipping content in zones artists spend months building" and you know why?

I do not give a rat's ass about the "artists spend months building" anything, I just need to be there, pick something up or kill something and I am out.

With all respect for those who enjoy the "zones artists spend months building", I am here (WoW) just to beat stuff up in a repetitive & predictable way. Until today, I have NO idea in what zone what dungeon is, or what the background of the story is of that particular monster that lives there. I have never seen a cinematic in full, turn off the sounds and run graphics at to the lowest level possible so I see stuff that is relevant (fire) and am not bothered with cosmetics (grass). And I have been p[l] aying this game (on and off) since over 10 years.

It is just a nice time waster which allows for easy & cheap boosting so I can show up with the same gear as the addicts.

Some take aways from the article:

The 3D printing method involves a huge robotic arm with a nozzle that squirts out a specially formulated cement, said to have the texture of whipped cream. The cement is “printed” according to an architect’s design, adding layer upon layer to create a wall to increase its strength.

The new house consists of 24 concrete elements that were printed layer by layer at a plant in Eindhoven before being transported by lorry to the building site and placed on a foundation to be worked on by Dutch building firm Van Wijnen.

“If you look at what time we actually needed to print this house it was only 120 hours,” Huysmans said. “So all the elements, if we would have printed them in one go, it would have taken us less than five days because the big benefit is that the printer does not need to eat, does not need to sleep, it doesn’t need to rest. So if we would start tomorrow, and learned how to do it, we can print the next house five days from now.”

[...] are paying €800 (£695) a month to live in the property for six months from 1 August after answering a call for applicants on the internet. “I saw the drawing of this house and it was exactly like a fairytale garden,” said Lutz.

The market rent would normally be twice that being paid by the couple. “

SNMP: Security Not My Problem. That is how I learned it decades ago and it still holds.

That is, in the French speaking part.

In the German speaking part of Switzerland they where called "mohrenkopf". There is a raging debate if the Mohren part stems from Mohren, the dark-skinned people, OR the old German word Môre, which means wild pig.

But since it's en vogue to be woke, large retails are super quick to either change the name (Schokokuss, or chocolate kiss), or get rid of the product altogether.

Oh even better: the take custody of your phone, just because they can.

A turned off iPhone is completely unusable for most of their intentions, still will be taken and only given back after x months.

No proper shock absorber is a deal-breaker.

I get "About 8’370 results (0.71 seconds)" when I click your link. Seems something is broken on your side.

You create an account to just post some political comments or to stir the hornet nest?

People hate zoom? Like "Teams is so much better" or "online meeting are bad"?

For me it one of the more enjoyable online meeting options and it leaves Teams, Skype, webex and what have you, far behind.

Yeah, not im my circles. Being old comes with quirkinesses and one of these is the _need_ to handshake. We have build relations based on it, we've made deals based on it and made up based on it.

Surely it was a little less during the initial days of this pandemic, but it is all but gone now.

You are setting yourself up for failure with the "I want FAANG money & benefits" right from the get go. That happens to the top 1%, all other work their asses off or get lucky.

But I think you are doing your now not_future_colleagues a solid by giving up. If you are that square to think there is only one way to reach the "prestige, benefits and pay of Google" and that is by excelling at some Leetcoding pissing context: I see you not solve issues that are exciting to solve which is exactly what I like to see in programmers.
