Last I chatted with some friends who were going through their first SOC2, they quoted a much lower number.

If we're allowed to dream, make it public transit, as private cars, regardless of how they are driven, are a climate disaster we can not afford.

Unions are a solution to a power imbalance, not a sign of maturity, neither when maturity is defined as "having attained a final or desired state" or as "having achieved a low but stable growth rate".

Unionization shouldn't be seen as an emergency measure. Even if I would hypothetically accept union as a last resort, which I don't, safety nets should be built not only when you are speeding towards the ground, and often lack the resources, but much before that, when you are safe.

Or $3 for an ESP32 devboard.

That's on the company owners[1], as represented by its board.

[1] Companies like Meta actually has two types of ownership: ownership of the company's current assets (economic equity), which is not the same as ownership of control in the company's decision making (voting power). The owners I reference here are the second category of ownership.

In the example of Meta, a quick search suggests Zuckerberg holds about 61% of the voting power.

What I've learned from reading this is how much of my own writing style was influenced by late 1990s MSDN.

It receives, as its name implies, pre-release builds: it is currently on 15.7.8, while the latest macOS 15.7 release is 15.7.7.

If you have enough data to actually need to use Kafka, “simplicity” probably leaves too much out.

Not a real solution if you’re averse to using pre-release software like macOS 26.

Recent betas also seem to break some small things, not sure if due to change in code itself or a faulty migration.

It wasn’t Twain who wrote that letter: that quip was posthumously attributed to him, and have been used by multiple others.

The earliest source we have for it is a letter by Blaise Pascal, some 250 before Twain ever thought about writing letters, or anything else for that matter.

That's exactly why I'm less pleased with GCP: to trust a CSP (or any service), I need to be assured that when (not if) things go wrong, I could escalate to a team that would have my back.

Apple also uses AWS, and I won't be surprised if they also use Azure. Big companies are multicloud, and not because it's a good idea (it rarely is), but because they inherited multiple environments on different CSPs, and maintaining those where they are is often cheaper than migrating them to a different CSP.

From personal experience, as a customer who once did something stupid: Google Cloud does soft deletes. But you need to reach out to support fast enough. And really, if you deleted something important and discovered it only the next day, and not within minutes, you're having a bigger issue that a soft delete won't solve.

Of course, the solution to that is to nullify all HOAs, power tripping or not. They were a mechanism to enact segregation, and as such should've had no place when created, and certainly has no place now.

Apple never bought a manufacturer, or built such capabilities.

They buy and build manufacturing capacity, and there’s also a huge shortage in that today.

They can’t.

Operating a FAB requires employing PhDs that are willing to work 8 hours shifts with no breaks (each removal of a bunnysuit is an expensive exercise), and there’s no reason to believe SpaceX is capable of hiring such people.

It’s a game of chicken, and we know the president folds like a soggy tortilla (aka TACO). It’s just that some executives are even soggier.

For domains where they handle the certificates, Cloudflare utilizes multiple CAs, to avoid such a single point of failure: I’ve seen Cloudflare managed certificates issued by Let’s Encrypt, Google Cloud, Sectigo, and SSL.com.

Cloudflare does provide the option for customers to manage their own certificates, which would make it the customer’s responsibility to have alternatives issuers when needed.

No, we don't, or shouldn't ask people to check the URL itself, because of homonym attacks are a thing. Goal is to make sure that your credentials can't be compromised by surfing the wrong website (e.g. by using Passkeys instead of passwords).

Millions chose Android for exactly that reason

Citation needed.

But even if millions did bought an Android phone for ill-defined defined, about 15 billion Android phones were sold over the years, which could very well make those millions a minority, with most having other reasons for their purchase.

Most shareholders may not care beyond the next quarter, but CEO action that led to those results were made couple of years ago at least, and current action will do as much to determine not the next quarter, but one slightly further in the future. Hence Jamie Dimon, for example, making a different decision in a similar matter. As Dimon explained: “[…] we have to be very careful about how anything is perceived, and also how the next DOJ is going to deal with it. So, we’re quite conscious of risks we bear by doing anything that looks like buying favors or anything like that”[1].

Yes. I know a person that used to work in casting for such events.

What Flock names the relationship in their contract does not make it one, as the courts do very much duck type.

Flock knowingly collects PII of people they have no direct relationship with, and transfers it to third parties. If that transfer, which Flock seem to gain from, is legally a sale is something to be argued at a great expense in front of the court.

But regardless of that definition, I so think that any reasonable person (= not a corporate lawyer) would consider there is a sale of data here.

Flock's facilitation of data-sharing is a huge part of their value proposition over other cameras, and why their customers buy from them over their competitors.

As such, even if they can contract it such that they are not legally responsible for such use, they are very much knowingly facilitating it. If this was physical goods, rather than data, they would probably been as responsible as their customers.

And one of those I use to call certain men in my life, and so find it unprofessional to use with software.

People who claim the goal of changing the common terminology was to abolish or discourage racism are an example of why we are still having such prevalent racism all around.

The title is misleading, as there's no such thing as a global email reputation. Each SMTP server admin decides what to accept or reject, there's no mandatory, world wide rules for such.

The closest we have to a global ranking are the scores decided by the almost-duopoly of Gmail and Outlook.com, and for the ~75% of it controlled by Gmail, the OP is definitely not at a 99% reputation.

What I don't see discussed is why tmux (and screen) are still a thing, when we have windowed desktops for 40+ years now.

Disconnecting a session's lifetime from the connection's lifetime hardly need such lengthy tutorial.

And displaying and arranging multiple virtual terminals was supposed to be the job of the terminal emulator and the windowing system.
