But are rents higher than the mortgage + insurance + maintenance + lack of liquidity + the potential home value changes. If the expectations is that the home value are dropping, the math seems pretty simple.

But in a different financial environment, maybe a few years from now, your expectations might be different and the math works out differently

tl;dr; Take the online courses for Cloud Security is the best bang for your buck IMO.

As a Security Engineer that works on network/devops stuff at a modern Saas company. I think 90% of what I do is Cloud DevOps with a focus on Security. That could mean: making frameworks to make security easier, or advise other teams on how to secure their pieces of infra, or identifying insecure configs and pushing to get those fixed. The other 10% is understanding security risks and what designs/implementations of the infra are good/bad. Pen-testing might help with the later skill, but at ~10% it's a surprisingly small factor.

I would like to echo the points made by other posts, that there are a lot of different fields of security. Pentesting is one field, Application security is another, there's also compliance, red-team, IT-security, threat hunting, etc. The list goes on, and there are a lot of different skills you could build, certifications you could get, and areas to specialize in (or distract you from your specialization)

It does sound as if you enjoy the InfraSec/SecDevOps parts of the problem. So learning more about AWS/GCP Security in detail is probably the best way to improve your skill set in the area.

I'm excited for the public launch of e2e encryption in the Android default Messages app. This would provide encrypted messages to a huge audience, everyone already on Android.

Signal has stated that they will not support RCS (possibly that they can't due to technical limitations).

Why Jira Sucks 6 years ago

Slow, unresponsiveness, and worst of all lagged resizing caused my biggest daily annoyances in Jira. Several times a week, I click a task, and just want to click the link to an associated epic, or something. But that link keeps dipping and dodging my mouse.

I joined another team which used Asana, and it's much better, although certain things can still be slow.

The current vaccine is a new technology, which codifies the spike protein in mRNA. SAR-COV-2 works by using their spike protein to attach to your body's ACE2 receptors, This new vaccine time is targeting something that is invariant and integral to SAR-COV viruses (the spike protein which gives it entrance) and almost certainly covers the new variant

But if you're interested in what we do, send us a message, we would love to chat.

As someone who has never needed to write device drivers, this is pretty interesting toy example.

I was a bit confused when it got to the part about > detach (unbind) the kernel driver Does this mean there is a default kernel driver on the interface and we must detach it first to make it available?

Looks like I fit the definition of an emerging adult like a glove. Still in college, so I live on my parents dime.

Haven't done anything on my way to adulthood.

Undecided about my future, and career choice.

And, guess what, I just turned 20 last week.

Since, emerging adulthood doesn't happen to everybody, perhaps it is the default "life stage" when we have no monetary requirements, and no expectations (which would really only happen in our situation, other than, perhaps, after retirement, but I have no experience with that one).

I'm not sure what will happen when I finish school, and I prefer not to think about the details of its existence (time after school). But I am considering career paths (ones that vary greatly) which is the main point of the "life stage". (If you have a path decided; you do it, sometimes. If you don't have one decided, but you need income; you do a convenient path. But if you don't have one decided, and don't need one, you linger on it untill the prior is true).

Now, as I said before, I'm undecided, and what is really scary is knowing that we basically jump into a job, with little to no real world experience (not theoretical or technical knowledge, we get that through school) about the career. Internships, would be the closest to what I'm thinking about looking for, but we have to compete for the one's that we want, our dream jobs may not even be looking for interns, and we're basically restricted to one per summer.

Perhaps what would help is a program, that allows for an array of different jobs, that you jump from each month. Assuming if your interested in the career, you would have some technical knowledge about it, and that there are enough companies signed with the program to allow the plethora of jobs.

Okay I'm probably talking out of my a- ...bum, because it'll have the same problems, and I'm sure there are those out there to tell me it won't work.

But I am here, decisions pending.
